Based Apes minted on Base in April 2024. The team took the mint money and ghosted the community. Six weeks later the holders opened their own server and kept going. That group became Ape Syndicate. The drop planned under that name is retired.
Square Apes was named live on a Hoodstreet Space hosted by @RoaringPiggy on 10 September 2026.
