Neural Pepe: New Roadmap

6 min readAug 3, 2021

Neural Pepe project is just 3.5 months old, but we already have as many achievements as medals on of Kekistani officer’s chest!

Here is the list of the most important ones:

6,450 out of 7,777 Neural Pepe sold (83%)
1200+ unique NP holders
NP collections listed on 4 marketplaces (NFTKEY, Treasureland, SCV, Refinable)
Two 10 BNB record secondary market sales of NPs
Joined ApeSwap BUIDL program
Released Neural Challenges and let Ancient Evil out
Raised $1,000 for a dog shelter at a charity auction with Bingus
Donated 10 NPs to the Rugged Charity Swap
Built awesome community which creating a whole lore for the Neural Pepe universe
Incinerated Alexei Pepelaevich

All this is just the beginning and the most grandiose achievements are yet to come! Neural Pepe is a frog and this frog is getting ready for a giant leap! We’re proud to present you the roadmap we’ll be following for the next 3 months!

Neural Meme Ecosystem and Tokenomics

Tokenomics plan: Mid-August
Tokenomics implementation: Mid/End-September

If NPs are doing quite well, AI token is currently lagging behind. So, our paramount goal for the next couple of months is rejuvenate the AI token with the new tokenomics and build an ecosystem where AI token and NPs will be supporting each other’s value.

We’re currently in the process of finalizing the new Tokenomics and the detailed and final version of tokenomics will be presented by mid-August and put on vote for the community approval.

Here we present a short list of things our upcoming ecosystem is going to include:

1) AI v.2 and token swap

The new tokenomics include introduction of a 5% tax on AI trades, which can only be implemented in the token contract. As it’s impossible to change the current AI smart contract, we will need to introduce AI v.2.

2) Automated Liquidity

Part of collected taxes will be used to automatically add up the AI liquidity on ApeSwap

3) Reward Pool

Part of collected taxes will be reflected in BNB and transferred to the reward pool. Funds from this pool will be split between LP farms, NFT farms and Dynamic Challenge factories.

4) $AI Fund & Farms

Instead of burning $AI collected from AI tools, future seasons and lotteries, we’ll be putting $AI in the special $AI fund. Most of it will eventually be burnt, but some may be redistributed into various reward pools. The burn/reward ratio will be determined via governance

5) Dynamic Challenge Factories

There will be dynamically challenges of varying difficulty letting you stake combinations of NPs for a share of the Reward Pool. Dynamic Challenges will also include NFTs from Neural Challenge collections

6) Lotteries

There will be multiple kinds of lotteries giving you a chance to win AI or a Neural Pepe

The IPO End and Neural Jail

Estimated Time: Mid/End-September

As soon as the new NP ecosystem is ready for the launch, we’re going to finish the Initial Pepe Offering and transfer all unsold NPs to the Neural Jail.

1) NPs will be put under a price wall significantly higher than the last IPO price. The exact size will be decided via governance. It will be possible to release a random Neural Pepe from jail by paying a fixed price in BNB. A part of collected BNB will be either used for AI buyback or redistributed to the Reward Pool

2) Existing NP owners will be able to swap their NP for a random NP from Neural Jail by paying a premium in AI.

As Neural Jail will be embedded in the Neural Meme ecosystem, IPO will be finished as soon as new tokenomics is live.

AI Tools

Estimated Time: August/September

Currently, we have developed 2 tools which will let users mint AI generated NFTs:

1) Pepezator (80% ready). Available for AI
2) H-NP (70% ready). Exclusive tool available for NP holders only

In a certain sense, both tools will also be subcollections of Neural Pepe. One tool will be released before the new tokenomics and the other after.

New website & Redesign

Design prototype: End of August
New website: Mid/End-September

As our project’s ecosystem is growing we’ll need a new website to accommodate all AI tools, farms and new collections and sub-collections. The original Neural Pepe will stay, but we will eventually have a universal explorer for all Neural Meme collections.

We will also be sharing prototypes along the way.

Season 2

Estimated Time: October

The theme of Season 2 will be selected via AI voting. Part of the collection will be sold exclusively for AI and we’re likely to have some experimental mechanics different from the IPO.

Collabs and Partnerships

Goals:

1) Graduate ApeSwap BUIDL program
2) Establish partnerships with projects that can create extra utility for AI token (e.g. BUSTA and Catbread)
3) Continue cross-promotional activities to promote AI and NPs

4) Release several NFT collabs (e.g Neural Pepe x ApeSwap NFT collection on Polygon)
5) Stimulate trading of NPs and other collections on NFTKEY, Treasureland, SCV and Refinable

6) Get one of Neural Pepe tattooed on CZ’s back

Metaverse Exhibition

We’re going to get a cluster on Cryptovoxels and turn it into the National Gallery of Kekistan. The most notable NPs will be exhibited there. And we’ll throw a metaverse party there. Even cyclops are invited.

Trait Discovery Program

As NPs have been AI-generated the classification of traits is not as easy as for programmatically generated NFTs. Probably, we missed plenty of repetitive patterns some NPs have which could be identified as traits (e.g blue eyes or secondary color). That’s why we’ll be launching a Trait Discovery Program. Anyone will be able to propose and put up a vote on one or several of newly discovered traits. If community supports the proposal, traits will be added to the NP metadata and the author of the discovery will be rewarded with a rare NP from our dev collection.

HIRING!

Probably, you’ve noticed we have plenty of stuff planned for the next 2–3 months and there is a lot of work to do. Therefore, we’ll need some extra hands to help us deliver everything in time.

We can’t hire you full-time, but if you have some skills and you’d like to contribute to one of the dankest projects on BSC and earn some crypto or NPs, drop us your CV/Portfolio here: https://forms.gle/pSysc8kZggrrYvYw8
