CALL IT
"POLICY APES"
OR SOMETHING.
In 2021, Hayden Adams tweeted the idea of a punks-style drop where the name didn't matter. Five years later, someone finally called it Policy Apes. 1000 pixel ape-punks for onchain policy — launched the most Uniswap way possible: through an onchain auction.
THE CONCEPT
One token, two faces
$PAPES is a DN404: an ERC-20 with a mirrored ERC-721 collection. Hold 1,000 $PAPES in your wallet and a Policy Ape NFT mints to you automatically. Sell below 1,000 and it burns. No mint page, no allowlist — the balance is the mint.
Fixed forever
1,000,000 $PAPES total supply, 1,000 tokens per ape, so at most 1,000 apes exist at once. Art and metadata are pinned on IPFS and the pointer can be locked onchain permanently.
Bid in the onchain auction or swap after migration

Ape responsibly. Policy is forever
THE APES
Punk-rules pixel art, 24×24, drawn by algorithm with hand-tuned traits — top hats, monocles, powdered wigs, crowns, laser eyes. Every ape lives on IPFS.
