Welcome to the Japanese Born Ape Society

JBAS is a collection of 4,457 apes inspired by Japan and Its culture. Each Ape doubles as your membership pass to the community, and grants access to members only benefits and utilities, the first of which is access to the TEMPLE.

THE SPECS

Each JBAS is unique and randomly generated from over 180 possible traits, including fur colors, accessories, eyes, and more. All apes are absolutely mindblowing, but some are rarer than others. There are also 10 legendary 1 of 1s, which are extremely special. The Japanese Apes will be stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Purchasing an ape costs 0.09 ETH.
To access members only areas such as THE TEMPLE, holders will need to be signed in their Metamask Wallet.

THE TEMPLE

The Japanese apes are living up in the mountain HONAKA, and from time to time they go hang out at the very top of the mountain, between clouds and trees, up in THE TEMPLE. This space is accessible only to wallets containing at least one ape.
The Temple, besides being the home of the apes, will also be the house of the JBAS DAO. In order to vote in the JBAS ecosystem, holders will need to proof ownership of an ape and a lotus flower.
These flowers, will be randomly airdropped to JBAS holders through roadmap activation.
There will be a total of 9 Lotus flowers, each representing an area of expertise and decisional power within our Decentralized Ecosystem. Fields will vary from Community Funds, merchandise, future art, collectibles and more. Each holder, depending on the flower they hold, will be granted a vote on a  specific matter. 1 Ape + 1 Flower = 1 vote. OG MONKS will have voting rights on all matters, alongside fellow BAYC holders.
The Art
Development of the art, a total of 4,457 NFTs with over 180 unique traits, all inspired by the Japanese culture has been crafted.
