NFT Collections
Genesis KillabearsΒ
Killabears are the stars of the Killaverse. Designed by artist Memo Angeles, this elite collection of 3,333 horrifyingly lovable digital collectible characters, are what started this whole adventure. When you own a genesis Killabear, you unlock access to a community and ongoing immersive entertainment experience like no other. And commercial IP rights mean you can build anything you can imagine, using your own Killabears.
Killabears first launch was a collection of 3,333 free NFTs. Since then, theyβve built an expansive world and interactive story that includes NFT drops and content designed to bring value to all holders. Β
Killabits are the protectors of the Killaverse. These pixelart versions were airdropped to all Killabears holders as part of the ongoing interactive storyline. Through Chapter 1 of our innovative staking system, each holder is rewarded with free KillaGear - animated weapons which can be equipped to your Killabits (and soon, your Killacubs).
The Killabits collection was created in June 2022 as the pixel companion collection to the Killabears genesis collection.
Killatraits Behind the doors of an unmarked room deep inside Killalabs, a set of blueprints was discovered. Β
These blueprints include plans for a unique set of traits and attributes, however none of the traits appear to fit the measurements of any currently existing bear within the KillaVerse...
Killacubs Mint Passes are exclusive tickets to the Build-A-Cub Workshop in the KillaVerse. Pass holders are given access to build a Killacub for free.Β
Killabear owners are able to use their traits to build a Killacub.Β
Non-holders who received a mint pass can choose from a variety of additional traits to build their cub.
View collection on OpenSeaΒ
KiillacubsΒ
The widely anticipated Killacubs workshop will allow you to build and mint a cub by mixing & matching the traits from your Killabears, or any KillaTraits you own.Β
You will be able to build one cub for each Killabear you hold.Β
The remaining supply will be available to KillaPass holders, and the general public.Β
Like all other assets, Killacubs will become a part of the storyline, and will be used to unlock additional benefits within the Killaverse ecosystem.
Roadmap
What is R.U.S.H?
R.U.S.H. is a special substance which can speed up the REMIX (re-design) of a completed Killacub. In order to REMIX a cub, it would normally need to go back into the Incubator for 4 weeks. But using R.U.S.H. allows you to bypass this, making a REMIX possible instantly!
HOW IT WORKS
Each Killabear generates 1 oz of R.U.S.H. after 30 days staked in the R.U.S.H. Generator. This is enough to speed up the REMIX of 1 Killacub. Once your R.U.S.H. tank is full, you'll need to claim your R.U.S.H.
This will trigger a 15-day cool-down before your bear will automatically begin generating more R.U.S.H.
PLEASE NOTE: If you unstake, list, or sell a bear during the R.U.S.H. Generation phase, your progress will be reset, and your bear will re-start at the beginning when re-staked. If you unstake, list, or sell a bear during the cooldown phase, the cooldown will re-start when that bear is staked again.
A ship malfunctions, taking off from KBX Spaceport unscheduled.
π¨ Attention Killas - Please be advised that our systems have detected an unscheduled departure of Odyssey BearPod # 204 out of KBX Spaceport, approximately 43 minutes ago.
We are first introduced to @drf0m0- when he warns us not to believe the "official story"
URGENT!! @killabearsnft that is NOT an AutoFlight!! There is someone or something aboard that Pod. I have been tracking its flight pattern VERY closely and it is highly IRREGULAR!
the K-Threat Level should be RED and you need to immediately warn the all bears!
3. A sighting and crash of Bearpod #204 & Dr. Fomo weighs in
π¨ UPDATE: We have just received security cam footage of BearPod #204 passing over Killa Hills earlier.
We are working to track its current location, but internal radar systems are down at the moment. This may take a bit longer than expected. pic.twitter.com/yjr99WHIig
4. Community Discovers Killalabs Research. It is the innovation lab of the KillaVerse, specializing in a number of different scientific initiatives designed to "Advance & Enhance The KillaVerse
5. Community is introduced to Killahills. A KillaVerse news & tourism site appears on Twitter.
Its first tweet shares a news story about the ship crash in Killa Hills.
β Killa Hills Tourism Bureau (@visitkillahills) July 15, 2022
6.) The VisitKillaHills.com site gets "hacked", and a strange video is revealed through the code.
In it, an anonymous whistleblower backs up Dr. Fomo's concerns that we are not being told the whole story about the recent BearPod crash.
For a simulated re-enactment of the "hack", click here.
Clicking on the code should begin the whistleblower's message.
7.) KillaVerse Official Press Secretary Maria Mackerel continues to push the official narrative - denying that these strange occurrences are anything to worry about.
Citizens of the #KillaVerse - earlier this morning we were made aware of a targeted attack on the @visitkillahills District's main website. The actions appear to be the work of a few bad actors with the intention of spreading wild conspiracy theories and scaring our community. pic.twitter.com/JFEMk7iDUE
8.) Citizens report power and internet outages. It seems like some core data systems are being disrupted and a A State Of Emergency Is Suddenly Declared
"Vorians use complex nanobots to attack critical data infrastructures, rendering ID and weapons systems useless, before launching full-scale takeover attempts of entire civilizations"
Lore Chapter 1: Welcome To The Killaverse
1.) Killabears holders receive Dr. Fomo's airdrop.
But before the airdrop can be revealed, the metadata changes. The signal has been lost!
And @drf0m0 is also nowhere to be found. His Twitter has been deactivated.
2.) The last communications with Dr. Fomo are shared via Killabears twitter
1/2 π¨UPDATE: We have been unable to reach Dr Fomo via known contact methods. We have also detected that the Killabits data transfer has lost it's signal!
We can't wait any longer with this threat growing worse. Attached is our last correspondence with Dr Fomo pic.twitter.com/gagiMpv3J4
4.) The data packets are then revealed to be the new Killabits collection. Each holder of an OG Killabear received a pixelated Killabit version of each bear they held at the time of the airdrop.Β These Killabits are Dr. Fomo's solution to beef up the security and strength of the KillaVerse data systems, and put a stop to the Vorian attack.
As these new Killabits are revealed, officials relay an anonymous message they believe is from Dr. Fomo. The message hints that the Killabits may soon need to be upgraded with "more firepower"
5.) A leaked internal memo reveals that officials are anticipating another attack sometime in the near future. Soon enough a strange video clip "accidentally" airs on KBBtv - showing what appears to be an emergency evacuation announcement for all KillaVerse Citizens.
β Killa Hills Tourism Bureau (@visitkillahills) August 1, 2022
6.) With Dr. Fomo still missing and the killabits needing an upgrade officials turn to KillaLabs, and assign them to reverse-engineer Dr Fomo's technology, in order to build the upgrade for the Killabits. This launchesΒ Staking Chapter 1: 'StakeCation'
Enter J. Andrew Bearington - CEO of KillaLabs Research.
After being tasked with figuring out how to provide an upgrade for the Killabits technology, KillaLabs asks citizens to participate in a simple 30-day research study.
In exchange for participation, holders shall receive not only a special upgrade for their Killabit... but also become eligible for additional BONUS rewards (to be revealed later).
History
Killabears Launches a Free Mint of 3,333 Horrifyingly Lovable, Animated Bears. This is the genesis collection for the project.
After beginning of the Killaverse storyline is presented a second collection is airdropped, called Killabits, to holders of Killabears. Each holder recieved one Killabit for each Killabear they were holding the Killabits are pixel art replicas of their original bears.
The storyline continues to progress and we are presented with Staking Chapter 1: 'StakeCation' - The Quest For A Killabits Upgrade. This is a 30 day staking process where holders were able to stake one Killabear and one Killabit for an "upgrade". This upgrade turned out to be Killagear - weapons we'd find out later their importance - Killacub traits, and other rewards such as other Killabears and Killabits from the projects Treasury.
After the resolution of StakeCation new mechanisms were introduced for Killagear such as merging your Killagear to create new and potentially more powerful Killagear. Merging would burn the Killagear used so this created a deflationary pressure on the collection. You could also equip and unequip your Killagear to your killabit, a feature that would be used in the next staking chapter.
The project has now rolled out Staking Chapter 2: 'The KillaLabs Experiment'. This staking process also requires one Killabear and one Killabit for staking BUT has higher reward tiers if your Killabit has a weapon equipped while it is staked. If the Killabit has a general weapon equiped it will be in the second highest tier and have a better chance at better rewards. If it has a merged weapon attached it will be in the highest reward tier and have the best chances at the highest rewards available in this staking process.Β
LORE CHAPTER 3: The Quest For A Killabits Upgrade
1.) KillaLabs #StakeCation Study Goes Live
Luxury accommodations are provided by Kilton Hotels of Killa Hills.
In order to be eligible for this staking program, you need:
π One (1) KILLABEAR
π One (1) KILLABIT
Eligible assets are those that have not already completed the full 30-day Kilton staking program.
How To Stake Your Bears & Bits
Holders may check in for their stay at the Kilton via the official website:
You'll be escorted through an exclusive VIP entrance, and guided to your room immediately. Enjoy your stay!
If things get too crazy, you can ESCAPE at any time - but remember -
In order to qualify for your rewards, you must be staked for 30 full days.
π§ Watch your bears and bits closely while at the Kilton. You may see some of your... ahem... interesting activities highlighted by changes in their staked metadata!
2.) A visit to https://fom-os.com/ reveals that an image has been added to the desktop.
The text around the image turns out to be part of a video on youtube (no longer available).
β Β He is working on the Killabits upgrade (separately)
β Β He has designed a "backdoor" in the Killabits, which allows him to stream the data KillaLabs will receive during the StakeCation study.
In addition to the picture on Fomo's desktop, if you right click, and select 'Show Hidden Files', a blueprint is revealed.
3.) Back At KillaLabs progress is proving to be slow, and with new complications being discovered, J. Andrew Bearington is not a happy camper. One anonymous employee of Killalabs does tell-all video explaining there has been no progress on the upgrade, the employees are overworked, and Bearington is becoming increasingly hostile.
Meanwhile Dr. Fomo reveals he has "solved it"
I've SOLVED it!! I have the missing piece. Up-linking to my system. More details SOON!
When they hang up, Bearington sends a cryptic text message to his lackey Agent #827 which says: "Initiate the Peruggia" and links him to Dr. Fomo's computer.
4.) Bearington is caught, and arrested for trying to hack into Dr. Fomo's computer and steal the data he is missing to complete the upgrade.
1/2 The Killa Hills Police π have arrested @killalabs CEO J. Andrew Bearington on charges of cyber crimes, related to a reported data theft attempt on Dr. Fogerty Fomo.
Meanwhile Dr. Fomo Becomes The New KillaLabs CEO and finished the upgrade just in time for participants to claim their rewards from Kilton
We are pleased to announce that over the past 24hrs, we've worked closely with @killalabs to locate, and appoint Dr. Fogerty Fomo to replace J. Bearington as their new CEO.@drf0m0 will deliver your Killabits upgrade, and help map out the next steps for us to #SaveTheKillaversepic.twitter.com/bpD8j7VTYo
5.) It is revealed that the rewards are Killagear with some lucky participants receiving additional rewards. Killagear can be equiped to your Killabit via the official bitEqu1pR v2.354 to get your bits geared up!
Some lucky bears who complete the Kilton Staking Study also receive BONUS Rewards in the form of KillaTraits.Β In this video, Dr Fomo reveals thatthese traits will soon be compatible with the long awaited KILLACUBS.
Soon, for each Killabear you hold, you will be able to mix & match traits (from both your OG's traits, and others you win, receive or purchase) - to build & mint your own army of Killacubs!
Each OG Killabear you hold lets you build & mint one Killacub.
In addition to Killatraits it appears Killagear will also be compatible with Killacubs
π¨ UPDATE: @drf0m0 is unavailable right now, but we just received the following video & message from Agent #827 at @killalabs:
"Doc just had a major breakthrough. We've confirmed that ALL Killacubs will be compatible with KillaGear. Next we'll work on how to convert the data." pic.twitter.com/8P2cCpfzZn
An official Statement On The KillaLabs Incident is made that the facility had to activate Lockdown Protocol. No contact has been made with anyone inside, since this protocol shuts down all physical and digital access points.
Citizens: An incident was reported at @killalabs earlier, forcing the facility to activate Lockdown Protocol.
We have not yet made contact with anyone inside, since this protocol shuts down all physical and digital access points.
4.) The rogue Genesis Killacub managed to destroy all of the plans for KillaTraits. Dr. Fomo needs us to participate in a study at the lab to run some tests.
