# Introduction

Chnky Boys Brigade is a collection of 5,555 uniquely and randomly auto-generated NFT Gorillas who live to shred the streets of Solana! Each Chnky Boy has its own personality, style and accessories. Some are rare, some are legendary, and some are just plain chnky. Each Chnky has a different rarity level based on their trait allocation. [:link: Rarity](https://https://www.chnkyboys.com/#rarity)

Chnky Boys Brigade is not just any NFT project. Our Mission is to continue to push the growth of skateboarding as a sport right at the entry level. By owning a Chnky Boy you will help us support a cause that is very close to our hearts: giving underprivleged children their first skateboards.

We believe that skateboarding is a sport that can inspire, empower, and transform lives. That's why we are commited to donating a portion of our proceeds to donate recycled boards to kids around the world.

By owning a Chnky Boy, you will gain access to exclusive merch, events and perks from our future partners in the skateboarding industry.

This Whitepaper outlines 3 phases we plan to reach our Mission of building a brand and giving back to communities across the globe.

# Phase 1: Build the Community
This is the most important Phase and can determine success or failure of the project from the get go. For any project to succeed, it needs a strong and supportive community which shares the same vision of the project.

## Pre-sale Allowlist
It all started when we tweeted this [:link: tweet](https://x.com/chnkyboys/status/1759642076793147454?s=20) to offer a Pre-sale Mint for the first 1000 Chnky Boys. In just a short few days we saw over 1500 new followers on X and hundreds applying to get on the Pre-sale list. We are welcoming you to join our Telegram community [:link: Telegram](https://t.me/chnkyboysbrigade), we hope you share the same excitement for our roadmap and long term vision!
You will have 24 hours to claim your Chnky Boys.

The pre-sale date will be announced in the days to come.
Pricing: 0.05 Sol x 2 per wallet

Any remaining Chnkys after 24 hours will be available for public sale.

## Public Sale
Our fouder has been working day and night to deliver a successful public sale and bring this 5,555 Chnky Boys collection to life. We hope to see Chnkys blow up on Crypto Twitter and trading volume hit the trending charts on Magic Eden.

Pricing: 0.1 Sol x 10 per wallet

## Chnky Boys Reveal
Following the public sale there will be a 48 hour period before the reveal of your Chnky Boys. We will host a spaces town hall on X during the reveal so that everyone can share and experience the joy of the Chnkys together!
## Established Community

We have high hopes that with the turnout of a smooth public sale we will establish a beautiful community of like minded individuals that all share the love of skating. This will be a tightly knit growing community that will do great things for the sport. Next, we shift focus to phase 2 to build the brand & utilities.

# Phase 2: Building the Brand & Utilities

NFT arts are just the abstraction UI layer on top of the intangible value of the project/community such as early mover advantage (Crypto Punks), exclusive membership and cultural movement (BAYC), subjective artistic value (Beeple), utilities leveraging decentralized blockchain technology to provide value to holders, etc.

The intangible values aforementioned are what determine the floor price of such NFT project. Chnky Boys Brigade focuses on providing the added value for our holders through Utilities.

## Chnky Boys Merchandise
We want our community to not only own a Chnky Boys NFT, but we want you to be able to be your Chnky Boy. To represent the community in the real world and the metaverse.
#### Chnky Merch
Approximately 1 month after the mint all holders of Chnky Boys will be able to redeem token gated merchandise.

#### AR Chnky Boys
We plan to implement AR capabilities for all 5,555 Chnkys so that you can be your Chnky Boy in the metaverse and IRL. Whether it be taking selfies, zoom calls or hosting podcasts. You will be able to fully incorperate your Chnky Boy IP as your own identity.

#### Chnky Decks

Every Chnky needs a board am I right? We've got you covered.

# Phase 3: Giving Back
Ultimately our goal is to continue the growth of skateboarding as a sport. We are committed to giving back by taking a percentage of our proceeds and using it to purchase recycled skateboards for children in need. By providing these skateboards, we hope to introduce more children to the joy and benefits of skateboarding, helping to nurture the next generation of skateboarders and further expand the skateboarding community.

We plan to partner with existing organizations like [:link: Boards for Bros](https://boards4bros.org/our-mission/), a 501(c)3 non profit which has been helping kids get their first boards since 2014.

Together, we can ensure that skateboarding continues to thrive and inspire for years to come.

# Treasury

Upon sell out of Chnky Boys NFT's funding will be divided into a treasury account for holders to later vote on use cases. We believe that there are multiple crypto currencies worth holding our treasury in. Each amount will be secured on a private ledger key for safe keeping.

Below we have included a graph to show how funding will be broken down and best utilized to not only save but also grow while the Chnky Boys project blossoms.
