Desperate ApeWives (DAW) is a pioneering NFT collection that blends the chaotic charm of suburban drama with the irreverent allure of ape-themed digital art. Launched in October 2021, this series features 10,000 unique, algorithmically generated female ape characters, each crafted from over 218 hand-drawn traits.
Set in the opulent, vine-covered jungle suburb of Banana Heights, DAW reimagines iconic primate personas as fierce, glamorous, and cunning characters entangled in a web of secrets, betrayal, and dark humor. Traits range from dripping diamonds and designer leaf outfits to scandalous gossip scrolls and martini glasses, capturing the essence of luxury, scandal, and survival.
Beyond the art, DAW fosters a tight-knit community with a focus on inclusivity and creativity. Holders gain access to exclusive storytelling arcs, where ApeWives vie for power, love, and dominance in a society where mango margaritas flow and banana bread empires crumble. The project also offers benefits such as invitations to real-life and metaverse events, exclusive airdrops, and collaborations with leading brands.
Rarity tiers include legendary "Alpha Females" with rare traits like poisoned fruit accessories or hidden jungle maps. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, this collection is a cheeky nod to the chaos of crypto and the timeless thrill of a guilty pleasure. Join the vine… if you dare.
