Free BANANO NFTs: cryptomonKeys Update #13: Month 5 Recap

Feb 22, 2021 • 4 min read

BANANO is a DAG-based cryptocurrency with easy-to-use apps, distributed entirely for free through airdrops, faucets, and games. All happening in a fun, community-driven, meme-rich, and educational atmosphere.

The BANANO community project cryptomonKeys just started 5 months ago. It’s all about distributing NFTs/digital trading cards for free, and the positive feedback, growth and excitement by the community were truly awesome so far. Lots of news, meaning it’s time for another cryptomonKeys community update with a short Month 5 recap.

cryptomonKeys Month 5 Recap

It’s been just a few months since the launch of cryptomonKeys on September 19th, 2020, but it’s been an awesome ride so far, YUGE thanks to everyone who joined so far! Month 5 was filled with lots of fun, more cards and new adventures in Alien Worlds! Here’s a quick summary and few highlights:

More New Cards!

Within month 5 we released Card 34 to 39, finished cryptomonKeys Generation 2 (Card 20–38), and started cryptomonKeys Generation 3 (Card 39–57).

The Next Big Thing: monKeymining and monKeystaking!

You probably have joined already: We have massively expanded to other planets far beyond the moon: More than 1900 users already earn cryptomonKeys NFTs by playing the brand new free-to-play/play-to-earn NFT-based game Alien Worlds!

This has started as another way to distribute cryptomonKeys for free (here to users playing the game Alien Worlds) and turned out to be something that’s a lot of fun to do as a community. cryptomonKeys focused on Planet Neri (ranked last/6th by staking when we started) and brough it meanwhile to 1st place based on staking. Meanwhile we have completed 4 cycles of NFT monKeymining and staking and sent out more than 8300 cryptomonKeys to users mining and staking in the Alien Worlds metaverse! Help getting started and all updates summarized here.

Collab with Alien Worlds!

Since monKeymining was such a success, we teamed up with the Alien Worlds Federation and created BANANO/cryptomonKeys themed Alien Worlds cards! Learn more in this blogpost.
