Saga Monkes

The Saga Monkes collection consists of unique, algorithmically generated profile pictures, or PFPs, minted on the Solana blockchain. The NFTs were airdropped for free to the first 8,505 people who activated their Solana Saga phones before January 2, 2024, as a way to reward early supporters. The project has had two waves: the first wave distributed 8,505 Monkes, and the second wave added 100 one-of-a-kind Monkes to ensure broader community inclusion.

Community and Engagement
What makes Saga Monkes special is its approach to fairness and community. There were no allowlists, presales, or claims required—just a straightforward airdrop to those who supported Solana Mobile from the start. This method contrasts with typical NFT projects that often involve hype and speculation, making Saga Monkes a refreshing change. The project seems to foster a strong community, with events like NFTNYC Primate Pizza Party and Monke Meetup 001, enhancing engagement among holders.

Market Value and Current Status
Initially, Saga Monkes NFTs saw high demand, with some selling for over $1,000 in early 2024, which was more than the Saga phone’s price at one point. However, recent data indicates the floor price has dropped to around $104.16 USD, reflecting market fluctuations common in the NFT space. This change might be unexpected for those familiar with the initial hype, but it highlights the dynamic nature of digital collectibles.
