Apeships is a collection of rare, completely unique rocketships built specifically for apes. Consisting of 9,999 unique ERC721 tokens stored on the Ethereum blockchain, every Apeship is provably unique, and objectively the finest investment you'll ape into all day. This isn't rocket science. Press connect, then press mint.

Upgrade Factory

If you own 2 or more Apeships, you will be granted special access to the Lightspeed Upgrade Factory on the planet of apes. Here, you will be able to select which one of your Apeships you want to upgrade to Lightspeed. After you select which one to upgrade, Bosstronaut will immediately begin working on creating your brand new Lightspeed Apeship.

Because of the massive amount of energy it takes to create a new Lightspeed Apeship, the energy from 2 original Apeships is required to create 1 Lightspeed Apeship. Here's exactly how the process works.

When you visit the Lightspeed Upgrade Factory, you will select which Apeship you want to upgrade to Lightspeed. Your Lightspeed Apeship will look just lke this original, just faster. Next you will select a 2nd Apeship that you own. We will use the raw energy from this Apeship to build your new Lightspeed Apeship.

It is important to note that an Apeship can only be used in the Lightspeed Upgrade Factory one time. If you own Apeships #1 and #2, and you decide to upgrade #1 to Lightspeed, using the energy from #2, neither Apeships #1 or #2 can be used in the Lightspeed Upgrade Factory again. This also means that once an Apeship's energy is used on a Lightspeed upgrade, that Apeship can never be upgraded to Lightspeed itself.

Because of the way Lightspeed Apeships are created, there can only ever be a maximum of 4,998 Lightspeed Apeships that will ever exist, and all are guaranteed to be unique.

Your Captain

Meet Bosstronaut. A mutant ape with a spacesuit, and eyes as big as his smile. Who isn't afraid to eat green crayons every, single, day. He may look a little rough on the outside, but rest assured that his head is hard as a rock.

And he's gone Apeship. Bosstronaut will be your guide as we journey together to the planet of apes, and once all 9,999 apes arrive, we are giving him away to one of you on the Day of Apes!

50 ETH Treasure Hunt in Space

Once we reach the halfway mark of our roadmap, all current Apestronauts will be invited to take part in our treasure hunt in space!

On his way to the planet of apes, Bosstronaut found a couple of surprises... 2 planets that are filled with treasure. Each planet has 25 boxes filled with 1 ETH each.

The first 5,000 Apestronauts will get access to a special treasure hunt section of the Apeships website. Here, you will login with MetaMask, and you will see all your Apeships that are eligible for the treasure hunt.

For every Apeship you own, you will choose which of the 2 planets you want to explore, and once you arrive on that planet, you will choose 1 of 2,500 treasure boxes. If you find treasure in your treasure box, we will record your Ethereum address from MetaMask, and airdrop your 1 ETH treasure!

The "Day of Apes" Giveaway / Airdrop

The what?

When 100% of all Apeships are sold, the real fun begins. Once this milestone is reached, and all Apestronauts have made it to the planet of apes, The ultimate airdrop / giveaway will start. Here's how it will work.

On this special all-day event, we are going to randomly pick a number between 1 and 9,999. The owner of that Apeship will receive two things.

A totally unique, one-of-a-kind Moneyship Apeship. There will only ever be 100 of these special Moneyship Apeships that will ever exist. The only way to get one is during this daylong airdrop.
Oh, and 1 ETH.

You read that right. 1 entire ETH and an ultra-rare Moneyship. The more Apeships you own, the better your odds of winning.

And were doing this 100 times! 100 ETH winners, 100 Moneyship winners. It's going to be absolutely epic.

We will do it live on Discord, but you don't have to be on Discord in order to win.

Winners will be sent their ETH through the verified "Apeships" smart contract, using the "sendMoneyshipReward()" function. The Moneyship Apeships will be minted on a separate verified smart contract created just for the Moneyship collection, and will be airdropped to winners through the verified "Apeships Moneyship" smart contract.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

After that's all over, we're going to pick our new captain. Again, we will pick a random number between 1 and 9,999, and the owner of that Apeship will win two things.

Mutant Ape Yacht Club #86 - the Bosstronaut
Apeships #1 - the Bosstronauts Apeship

Both of these NFTs will be airdropped to the winner from the Apeships Ethereum address, for free.

Gallery

Have a look around and check out the different possibilities and traits that you could get on your Apeship.

You can view the entire Apeships collection on OpenSea.

Traits

Each image is created from 8 separate layers, and enough assets in each layer to create over 1 BILLION. unique Apeships. But we're only creating 9,999. Take a look below to see what possible traits you could end up with on your Apeship.

FAQ

Why not yachts?
Listen, yachts are cool, but rockets are cooler. And there's no use for yachts on the planet of apes.

How many Apeships can be minted?
We've mentioned it no less than 3 times before the FAQ, but maybe the 4th time is the charm for your smooth brain. Only 9,999 Apeships will ever exist.

How many Apeships can I mint per transaction?
You can mint up to 19 Apeships per transaction. But if you need more than 19, feel free to smash that mint button a few more times.

Do I have full ownership and commercial rights?
Yes. Once you mint your Apeship, what you do with it is entirely up to you.

Can I see my Apeship immediately after minting?
Yes. None of this "metadata will be live 8 hours after minting starts" bullshit. Immediately after you mint your Apeship, the image and metadata will be public and visible.

Are you going to collect royalties for secondary market sales?
No. There is no royalty code in our smart contract, or in our OpenSea collection. Maybe we've been eating too many crayons, but we refuse to profit off Apestronauts who choose to sell their Apeship.

Where are the images and metadata stored?
Look at the big brain on Brett! All of the metadata and images are stored in the IPFS network, and the data is pinned on multiple IPFS pinning services. All Apeships data will be permanently stored on Arweave as well.

When Roadmap 2.0?
Calm down ape, we need to make it through Roadmap 1.0 first! But fear not, because the Apeships team is already preparing for Roadmap 2.0, and we have been cooking up a couple truly exciting things to kick off Roadmap 2.0. But we'll need a full Planet of Apes in order to do it.

Apestronauts

So, you minted your own Apeship, now what? Well, first, congratulations! You are officially an Apestronaut, and you're now ready to take your crayons to space!

But where are we going? After you mint your Apeship, you are cleared for takeoff, and can blast into orbit anytime you want. But be sure to set your GPS (Galactic Positioning System) to our final dentiantion... the Planet of Apes, where you will be greeted by your fellow Apestronauts, who are already hard at work upgrading their Apeships to Lightspeed, and preparing for the treasure hunt.

Our private, Apeship-owners-only Discord channel #planet-of-apes is where it will all go down. And once all 9,999 apes have arrived, we're going to be holding the Day of Apes Giveaway, where we will be giving away 100 ETH to 100 different Apestronauts. We'll also be giving away our Mutant Ape Yacht Club #86, Bosstronaut, as well as his Apeships #1.

But stay alert. Rumor has it there's a war brewing just outside our peaceful ape-filled galaxy. And you must be prepared to defent our planet of apes if this war ever boils over into our neighborhood...

During your journey, don't worry if you find signs of intelligent life out there. But don't be surprised if that intelligent lifeform chooses to pass you by. After all, they're probably looking for intelligent life too, and they really don't want to see your crayon collection.
