Background:

Founded in 2021 by Dr. Abbott Gibbons, Applied Primate Engineering is a biological research group devoted to understanding the causes of mutation in apes and working to find a cure.

A.P.E. brings together multiple breakthroughs in 21st century biomedicine, including genetic analysis, gene editing, messenger RNA (mRNA) -based therapies and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery in the development of treatment methods for mutation.

This is the world that Applied Primate Engineering created to expand the world of Bored Ape Yacht Club Mega Mutants. A.P.E intends to combine this lore with a game designed by Christian Kudahl, creator of Mindbug: First Contact, to connect web3 utility to a physical card game called MegaForce Sentinels.

Physical cards will be tokengated by holders of Mega Mutant Sentinel NFTs that have also passed an earlier challenge.

Solution:

A.P.E. first needed to only allow holders of Mega Mutant Sentinel NFTs that participated in the Mega Mutant Melee event to be able to pass the tokengate to purchase the physical cards. To do this A.P.E. created a snapshot of wallet addresses that met this criteria, and added it as an allow-listed audience using PERCS custom wallet list csv functionality.

They were also able to customize the tokengate modal using their own branding colors and images to present this token gate window.

The campaign went live on 06–07 and within 48 hours of the campaign’s launch A.P.E. users were already tweeting about receiving the card set.
