I am incredibly excited to share some monumental news with you all.
With immense gratitude, and the blessing of both @pepe_designer and @kountervailor, I am honored to take on the role of co-owner and CEO of @rarelabsxyz and the @RareApepesNFT project effective immediately.
This is not just a new chapter for me but a transformative era for our entire community & project.
For those who might not know my Apepe journey, back in August 2022 I started off as just a passionate art collector, and a dedicated member of this Rare Apepes community, driven by my love for @pepe_designer’s artwork, and a deep appreciation for the history of Pepe The Frog and Rare Pepe NFTs (@pepe__wtf) on Bitcoin via @counterpartyxcp.
In October 2022, I officially joined the Rare Apepes team as the Head Of Communications.
Over the past nearly 2 years, I've had the privilege of working closely with Rare Designer and Kountervailor, contributing in various capacities to ensure that all of our public releases & the evolution of the Rare Apepes brand and Rare Labs company met the highest artistic, technical, and professional standards.
Now, as I officially step into this new leadership role, my commitment to our core principles: ART, BRAND, COMMUNITY, remains unwavering.
Our unified focus as a project and community will continue to be on creating & providing unparalleled art, memes, as well as developing fun, immersive and innovative digital experiences deeply rooted in art curation and collecting, while reinvigorating the Rare Apepes brand.
Together, we will CO-BUILD the Apepeverse/R.A.M.U (Rare Apepes Memetic Universe), fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Let’s make this transition a positive and transformative experience for all of us.
I am committed to maintaining transparency and seeking on-going guidance, and input from our Rare Apepes community “HIVE MIND” for the decisions that will shape our future.
Thank you all for your continued support, and believing in the Rare Apepes project.
Together, we will continue to build the Rare Apepes into something truly special.
🚨 🐸 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT 🐸🚨
ATTENTION Apepe fam,
We are thrilled to announce a new era for @rarelabsxyz and the @RareApepesNFT project.
With the heartfelt blessing of @pepe_designer and @kountervailor, we welcome @ceotim as our new co-owner and CEO.
This transition marks a significant milestone as we evolve into a reimagined brand while staying true to our core values of ART, BRAND, COMMUNITY.
Embracing Our Roots and Forging New Paths
Our journey started with stunning art & boundless creativity of @pepe_designer re-designing and re-imagining the artistic concept of Pepe The Frog and evolving that idea & merging with it the trait DNA from the @BoredApeYC and creating something completely brand new, unique and original embracing the evolution of crypto and blockchain, and the rich history of Pepe The Frog and Rare Pepe NFTs on Bitcoin circa 2016.
The Rare Apepes have been a cornerstone of the meme culture, rooted in the vibrant legacy of Pepe the Frog and the revolutionary Rare Pepe crypto art (@pepe__wtf) (the first NFTs ever created circa 2016) on Bitcoin’s @CounterpartyXCP protocol.
The Rare Apepes saw an incredible community response during the FREE MINT re-launch in July 2022, and have continually strived to push the boundaries of creativity, memetics, evolution, and community empowerment.
The origins of the Rare Apepes trace back to the genesis of Pepe the Frog, an apolitical open-source meme that grew in popularity due to its organic network effect.
@pepe_designer, also known as Rare Designer, started creating Rare Pepe memes on the Bitcoin blockchain in 2017, making a significant impact in the crypto art world with stand out art pieces like the legendary PepaLisa (created in 2018).
What’s Next?
Art: Expect more innovative and captivating art that continues to push the boundaries of creativity.
Brand: While our brand evolves, our essence remains unchanged. We are dedicated to redefining our presence in the Web3 space with new and exciting initiatives.
Community: You are at the heart of everything we do. Your input and involvement are essential as we co-build the R.A.M.U (Rare Apepes Memetic Universe).
Future Plans:
We are excited about our next release which is an ART BASED ordinals collection (TBD) on the Bitcoin blockchain., which will feature some of the best art to come out on the ordinals protocol that will feature BRAND NEW, top tier, alternative Rare Apepes art created by a very talented, & respected community member (to be revealed soon).
This collection is designed to generate revenue, attract new collectors, unify both our BTC and ETH DNA, and reignite interest in Rare Designer’s FINAL art masterpieces in web 3: the Apepe Rebirth and R.A.M (Rare Apepe Mutants) collections...
As he plans to RETIRE from web 3 upon the completion of delivering his final art collections within the Rare Apepes ecosystem.
But that’s not all.
Our new vision for the Rare Apepes is to transform the project into a creative decentralized hub for artists, builders, and collectors.
Here’s what we aim to achieve:
A Space for Artists:
We are creating an open platform for artists to come and collaborate, where they can develop new art, characters, and storylines tied to the Rare Apepes ecosystem while maintaining their unique artistic voice.
Decentralized Creativity:
We envision Rare Apepes as the decentralized hub where artists and builders unite to grow the Rare Apepes Memetic Universe (R.A.M.U). With the support of our community, this will be a place where new characters, worlds & products are born. These contributing artists will also share in the success of their sub-collections.
Expanding the Apepeverse:
Our goal is to invite artists from across Web3 to expand the Rare Apepes story and push it into new directions. We believe in creating opportunities for artists to grow their audience, and develop new art based sub-collections that build on the foundation of the wide spanning Rare Apepes brand & universe.
Heart and Art:
While we MAY NOT have a massive budget (currently operating with $0), we have something better—heart and art. The Rare Apepes is committed to fostering creativity and supporting artists who believe in & align with the larger, long term vision.
The Apepe Business Council (ABC):
We will establish a dedicated Apepe Business Council consisting of community members with strong business & entrepreneurial skill sets. Their expertise in creating successful, sustainable businesses in web2/IRL will help guide new business verticals, and sustainable revenue streams that will benefit every Rare Apepe holder.
Our goal is to maintain transparency and foster a collaborative environment where significant decisions are made with community involvement & input.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
Together, we will continue to build, and create a legacy that is truly extraordinary.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Proud to announce @RareApepesNFT X @UNVAULT. 🐸♻️🪲
Collecting has always taken me into different communities.
I love technology that makes that easier.
UnVault’s Omni-chain framework gives collections more ways to travel and collectors more choice in where they participate.
Thank you @AaronHaber & @ernestleedotcom, I’ve been waiting for this since our early meetings in 2025.
UnVault and @RareApepesNFT are beating the crap out of the Bear!! 🐛🐸🇯🇵
Their loot drop?
The RareApepes community officially securing a Phase 1 Genesis Bugz allocation. 🐛
They’ve been building through every kind of market, expanding their world through art, lore, gaming and AI.
Now they’re bringing that world to UnVault, starting with this absolutely insane Bugz x RareApepes anime they've created.
Welcome to Phase 1, Rare Apepes.
More chains. More communities. A brighter ecosystem.
CeoTim.eth retweeted
Bear markets are good at revealing who was building and who was waiting.
We kept building.
Our video game RAK 3022 became playable.
Nubi AI came alive, and became an agentic AI-powered character you can actually talk to.
The Rare Apepes universe kept expanding.
Today, @rarelabsxyz/@RareApepesNFT has been selected to receive an @ElevenLabs Grant.
More tools.
More experimentation.
More ways to make our characters feel alive.
No new roadmap graphic.
No imaginary future.
We build first. Then we show you.
Thank you ElevenLabs for the support. 🐸🏆

This one means a lot.
The @RareApepesNFT/@rarelabsxyz has officially been selected to receive an @ElevenLabs Grant.
When I took responsibility for the Rare Apepes in 2024, the goal was never to keep a 2022 FREE mint NFT project on life support.
The goal was to evolve it.
Art → culture → community → lore → gaming → innovation → AI-powered living digital IP.
ElevenLabs supporting that vision gives us more room to build the next layer.
I’m grateful for the recognition, but much more excited about what we can now create with it.
Keep building when nobody is watching.
Eventually somebody notices. 🐸🤝🏆

Culture survives by adapting.
Pepe became art.
Art became a collection.
The collection became a memetic universe.
Look deeper into the @RareApepesNFT 🐸
Crypto spent too much time teaching communities to compete over whose JPEG was better.
We're more interested in what happens when great brands/IP & cultures work together.
Nubi (@RareApepesNFT) + Curtis (@BoredApeYC) vs. the Bear Market.
CULTURE WINS! nubi.rareapepes.com

🤖 Made with AI
Seeking Strategic Investors: RAK 3022 – A Web3 Native Action-Adventure Video Game from the Rare Apepes Universe
RAK 3022 is a 2D browser-based, hack-and-slash adventure game set in the Rare Apepes Memetic Universe (R.A.M.U). Built with full browser-playability, it merges meme culture, original IP, and replayable gameplay into a visually stunning indie gaming experience.
We’re not building just a game, we’re building the memetic metaverse.
Current Progress:
✅ 50% of the game development is complete
✅ FREE playable demo live (on desktop/laptop) @ rareapepes.com or rak3022.rarelabs.xyz
✅ Combat system, story mode, and core infrastructure in place
✅ Compatible with keyboard & gamepad
✅ Built for a full web browser experience
Our Next Phase:
We’re looking to partner with a strategic investor to complete and expand the project into a fully cross-chain, interoperable video game with:
📜 Multiplayer Modes (PvP + Co-op survival)
📜 On-chain NFT Evolution (Game-linked metadata, rarity progression)
📜 @apecoin/@ApeChainHUB Integration (In-game utility, upgrades, rewards)
📜 Leaderboard & Tournament Systems
📜 Mobile optimization (stretch goal for broader adoption)
📜 New NFT Collection (playable characters tied to game progress & story arcs)
Strategic Fit:
The game demo is already 100% real and playable, not vaporware. We just need the right capital to finish what we started.
RAK 3022 delivers:
☑️ Cultural credibility (A brand new evolution of Pepe with crypto based themes = Web3 storytelling gold)
☑️ Real progress, real community, real utility
☑️ A fun, passive web 3 native gaming experience that actually exists
Investment Opportunity/Who We’re Looking For:
🧠 Strategic investors
🎮 Gaming-native partners
💸 Crypto-aligned funders who value cultural IP, shipping product, and community-first storytelling
to help bring the final vision to life.
We can provide docs, roadmap, & additional footage on request.

It's OFFICIAL... @UnVault X @RareApepesNFT 🐸♻️🪲
July 31, 2022: The Rare Apepes launched as a FREE mint.
Early royalties helped fund the work in the beginning.
When that income disappeared and the runway ran out in 2024, personal capital and bootstrapping kept us building, creating and giving back.
That’s why this partnership MATTERS!
1⃣ Royalty enforcement through the UnVault tech.
2⃣ Technology to share a chosen portion of those royalties with eligible collectors through the DIVIT rewards system.
3⃣ Omni-chain access across UnVault's multiple blockchain infrastructure platform.
4⃣ Genesis Bugz connecting collectors to participating launches and minting bonuses.
Massive THANK YOU to @AaronHaber & @ernestleedotcom, we’ve believed in this framework since our early meetings in 2025. Huge respect for bringing your ultimate vision to life.
A better foundation for the next chapter of digital collectibles.
UnVault and @RareApepesNFT are beating the crap out of the Bear!! 🐛🐸🇯🇵
Their loot drop?
The RareApepes community officially securing a Phase 1 Genesis Bugz allocation. 🐛
They’ve been building through every kind of market, expanding their world through art, lore, gaming and AI.
Now they’re bringing that world to UnVault, starting with this absolutely insane Bugz x RareApepes anime they've created.
Welcome to Phase 1, Rare Apepes.

The @RareApepesNFT are one of the partner collections for the @Unvault Genesis Bugz collection so holders are basically on the WL and with a sub 0.01 ETH floor it's a great buy rn. Still very much an active project led by @CeoTim with art by the OG @pepe_designer of Rare Pepe fame. Held my 9 Apepes for years, these are two of my favs.
