MonkeyFam!

To ensure the safety and security of our Drop as much as possible we have decided not to release a visual step-by-step guide to purchasing. Again, this is to ensure you will each have a fairer chance at scoring a Monkey today.

The process to purchase on www.MonkeyBall.com will be EXTREMELY STRAIGHT FORWARD:

1. Come to MonkeyBall.com
2. Click to enter the Drop on main page
3. Directed to Connect your wallet
4. Directed to Select 1 Monkey & Click to buy
5. Approve transaction

The button to enter will appear shortly. It will also change from white to color at 2 PM UTC once the countdown is finished.
MonkeyFam!

In less than 1 hour, at 2 PM UTC, 5,000 Gen Zero Monkeys will be up for sale!

As this is a monumental moment for MonkeyBall, let’s remember:

There will be 10s of 1000s of people that will try to purchase a Monkey AT THE SAME TIME. We have worked around the clock to ensure the site runs smoothly but PLEASE expect some tech issues as there is nothing fail safe about so much traffic attempting the same action at the same exact time. Please be as patient as possible.

Let us also keep in mind the math:

There are nearly 10s of 1000s of people that will try to buy a Monkey. There are only 5,000 up for sale today. Which means not everyone will get a Monkey and there will potentially be many people disappointed, frustrated, sad, angry, or all of above after the drop.

For those that won’t be able to secure a Monkey on this drop, we ask you to remember the big picture. It’s not the end of the road - there are Monkeys on the market, we have the whitelist coming up, as well as Breeding Season.

Let’s keep criticisms constructive and our anger and frustrations out of it. We completely realize and appreciate that waiting for something for so long and organizing your time around it only not to succeed is SUPER frustrating but again, let’s keep things in perspective.

We are One MonkeyUnit. One MonkeyTrain. One MonkeyFam that sticks together!

Good Luck to Everyone!

Much MonkeyLove

GO TIME MONKEYS!
Monkeys!

There is massive congestion on Solana and a heavy load on our site causing further delays.

Apologies. We are working HARDCORE to get it up.

Please be patient and try again in several minutes.
Monkeys -

Upon launch we encountered a widespread Bot attack trying to breach our security that we successfully deflected - although it did cause some glitches on the site.

Most importantly, massive congestion on Solana has stalled or delayed 1000s of transactions.

📣IMPORTANT: 📣

- If you successfully completed the transaction and weren't immediately refunded - YOU WILL GET YOUR MONKEY. Due to the congestion on Solana, you will receive it within the next several hours.

- From the massive overload, we stopped the sale in order to prevent further backload and to process the previous transactions.

Having said this there are still Monkeys left and we will open the sale shortly.

Monkeys! We are back up!
MonkeyFam!

The Gen Zero Drop has officially ended and 10s of 1000s of Monkeys officially broke Solana. 🐵💪

At the start of the launch, there were heavy, widespread BOT attacks that our multi-layered anti-bot system successfully repelled, although this "battle" did cause glitches and disruptions on the main page of the site.

Our website was also heavily overloaded, which we all knew would happen. The major setback was the hardcore congestion on Solana that caused unbearable delays and stalled 1000s of transactions. Once we opened it again, the same.

📣IMPORTANT:📣

Anyone that SUCCESSFULLY completed the transaction and were NOT immediately refunded, WILL receive their Monkey over the next several hours. They are ALREADY on the way.

Repeat: Anyone whose transaction was successful and did not receive a refund immediately, WILL receive their Monkey over the next several hours. We can not push through the Solana congestion - your Monkeys are ALREADY on the way.

Congrats to all the new MonkeyPioneers!
MonkeyFam,

We SINCERELY apologize for the delays and ask for some more patience.

We are here working nonstop and doing everything we can to solve all issues to ensure people get their Monkeys as soon as possible.

Everyone that had a successful transaction WILL 100% receive their Monkey. We ask you, please bear with us.
MonkeyFam -

We appreciate your patience over the last 18 hours and apologize again for the delays.

We experienced several issues from a chain of events yesterday. Our team has literally worked around the clock since to fix these issues and begin verifying transactions. The issues are largely solved and we are starting to distribute Monkeys in batches. Please bear with us on this as it may take several hours. Some of you may have already received it.

We are doing everything we can to rectify the situation. And we will do that. We will also announce in the coming days a more detailed summary of what happened during the drop..

For now, onward and upward. Congrats to all the new MonkeyPioneers!
MonkeyFam -

Thank you for your patience over the last 24 hours+ and apologies again for the delays -- as we worked through the issues and now through sending everyone their Monkey as soon as possible.

The distribution of Monkeys is still in progress and distributing, but with a lot of congestion on Solana ( https://status.solana.com) it's going much much slower per wallet.

Solana congestion usually let's up around 11PM UTC. At this time transactions will speed up and will also fail much less.

The distribution is automatic and no need to further send in your solscans.

If you have yet to receive your Monkey and your transaction went through, you WILL receive it. Please continue to bear with us as we get everyone their Monkey.

Thank you.

MonkeyFam -

Thank you again for your patience and for hanging in over the last 48+ hours.

A large number of people have already received their Monkeys and a large, last batch is set to start distributing very soon. Apologies again for the delays.

After this batch, nearly EVERYONE whose transaction went through will have received their Monkey.

The distribution of this batch will take several hours until the last wallet receives their Monkey, especially if there is congestion on Solana which we SHOULD expect - we will update if that’s the case.

Please continue to bear with us and know that everyone that purchased WILL get their Monkey!

Congrats to all the new MonkeyPioneers and the ones that will reach MonkeyPioneerdom over the next several hours!

In the next couple of hours, we will also post an overview of the "MEET MY MONKEYS" page at MonkeyBall.com and in the next couple of days, an article on MonkeyRarity so stay tuned.

Last but definitely not least, in the next day or two, will put out an announcement giving a full breakdown of all the issues and events that caused what happened at this Drop. We understand there are ALOT of questions and we know this announcement will answer them.

We are ALMOST there fam, let’s keep it together for this last stretch!

Much MonkeyLove 🐵❤️
MonkeyFam!

As more and more Monkeys start landing in wallets, we wanted to again congratulate all new and soon-to-be MonkeyPioneers as well as remind you that this is a huge moment for Monkey holders, as you MonkeyPioneers are the foundation that will set the stage for the MonkeyBall Metaverse. Remember, these Gen Zero Monkeys weren’t simply purchased, they were drafted!

As mentioned earlier, we will release another article in the coming days on MonkeyRarity across the population but first wanted to give ya’ll an overview on the MEET YOUR MONKEYS page on MonkeyBall.com. (There is congestion currently on Solana that may cause disruption connecting to your wallet)

MonkeyFam -

Thank you again for all your patience. All Monkeys from the drop have now been distributed and verified. Congrats again to all new MonkeyPioneers! 🐵💪

If your transaction went through and wasn’t immediately refunded on the 6th and you have not yet received a Monkey, please reach out in our support channel on Discord or in our official TG group with the details. This is only if your transaction went through successfully and have yet to receive it.

Also, if you happened to pay for more than 1 Monkey and received 1 Monkey, please also reach out in the support channel on Discord or in our official telegram group with the specific case.

Distribution on the Monkeys for the people affected by the Discord scam in early November is starting momentarily.

The 5 lucky winners from the $MBS + 5 Monkey NFT Giveaway Campaign on gleam the recent AMA winners will receive their Monkey over the next 24 hours or so.

Winners from the MonkeyHoliday Daily NFT Giveaway Campaign will receive their Monkeys in the next few days - will update prior to distribution.

The Meet Your Monkey section on our site should now be up.

Fam - we realize the last few days were rough and frustrating to say the least, but we are HERE to make it right and support all people that need it. Please bear with us.

We will put out an announcement summarizing all of the events and addressing questions many have.

This will NOT hold us down.

MonkeyFam,

Now that the Drop dust has settled, it was important for us to finally provide a full breakdown of what happened and to acknowledge a few critical mistakes we made that led to the chain of events.

Mistake #1: Deployment of the most up-to-date version of the site fell through the cracks

Amidst other developments happening on the site up to the launch, deploying the most up-to-date version of the site fell through the cracks. As a result, some people were able to get into the site early. The drop page URL being in the source code or moving your computer clocks forward is irrelevant because if the most up-to-date version of the site was used, they would have automatically been directed back to the main page.

At the time of launch and after, we were also hit by a massive BOT attack. In that second, we acted fast and moved the Monkeys to another wallet to protect the overall pool of Monkeys. Although this move prevented BOTs from sniping more Monkeys, it also triggered the Sold Out sign to appear immediately.

Mistake #2 & 3: Our bug + degraded performance and congestion on Solana created a perfect storm.

During the bot attack and before the sold-out sign appeared, many, many people managed to make transactions. Because of our failure to adjust the transaction settings prior (even after knowing Solana’s network has been slow lately, which Solana themselves have stated), the number of transactions sent to Solana was simply too much to handle. This, combined with a bug in our system and the moving of the Monkeys, led to a few scenarios:

🐵 Many transactions went through but their Monkey was automatically pushed back to our pool
🐵 A handful of transactions went through, were allocated a Monkey but distribution failed. The Monkey was then pulled back to our pool and sold to another person
🐵 Some transactions that failed were sent a Monkey

After everything, we ended up with 1000s of transactions that we needed to sort and 1000s of Monkeys we needed to distribute to their rightful owners.

Our team spent the next 72+ hours straight organizing and verifying all the data and preparing batches to send out as soon as possible.

Fam, no one here is under the illusion that this Drop was a success but the truth is we’re not an NFT launchpad company, we’re a game company.

Importantly, when things hit the fan and madness broke out…WE. DIDN’T. GO. ANYWHERE.

We were beyond proactive and our #1 priorities were to pick up the pieces quickly and get EVERYONE who paid their Monkey as soon as possible.

It was also extremely important to us that the community had support and that our marketing and community team were there with you every minute of each day making sure everyone’s questions were answered and cases supported.

Fam, we made some mistakes and take responsibility but we will always strive to improve. Nothing will stop us from delivering MonkeyBall, the best play-and-earn esports game on the metaverse. NOTHING!

Over the next few weeks, many partnerships are rolling out, we start diving into MonkeyBall’s game mechanics and a breakdown of Pioneers Gear Up Camp - leading right up to Game Trailer release around the end of this month.

Stay tuned and MonkeyFresh Fam!
MonkeyFam!

Congrats again to all the new MonkeyPioneers!! 🐵⚽️

📣⚡️As promised we are launching a whitelist for a total of 500 Gen Zero Monkeys!!! ⚡️📣

As a Community-First project, it has always been extremely important to us to ensure as many hardcore, longtime MonkeyBall community members are rewarded for their passion and support and…are able to own at least 1 Monkey. 🙌🐵

At the same time, we also value having a randomized whitelist raffle that includes everyone.

As such we have divided the Whitelist into 2...'whiter' lists:

1. A list of hardcore, longtime MonkeyBallers compiled by the MonkeyBall community team

2. A whitelist campaign where you register, complete an action in order to enter into a randomized raffle

We will announce the results of the 1st in the next 24 hours! Stay tuned!

Shortly after that, we will launch the 2nd whitelist campaign - for which we will put out the exact details with the announcement.

Fam! 500 Gen Zero Monkeys up for grabs...

Game. ON!

As I mentioned, We split the overall Whitelist of 500 Gen Zero Monkeys into 2 Whiter lists in order to reward all types of people whether your a hardcore Monkey or Fan.

Today is the 1st Whiter list we compiled. Tomorrow we will launch the 2nd Whiter List campaign, stay tuned.

We will roll it out several at a time so we give people the chance to see etc.

Remember - we are one community, One Train. Eventually we will ALL have Monkeys!!!
