BANANO is a DAG-based cryptocurrency with easy-to-use apps, distributed entirely for free through airdrops, faucets, and games. All happening in a fun, community-driven, meme-rich, and educational atmosphere. The BANANO community project cryptomonKeys just started few months ago with free distribution of BANANO-themed NFTs/digital trading cards and is getting lots of positive vibes from a rapidly growing community. Here’s another update from the project:

cryptomonKeys is a freely distributed, community-driven, meme-rich digital trading card series based on NFT technology, here to disrupt the meme economy.

monKeymiles: Earn cryptomonKeys NFTs by playing Upland

cryptomonKeys is about making free NFT distribution fun, as a community and by connecting with other NFT/blockchain projects. Already several weeks ago, we started to reward Upland players with cryptomonKeys NFTs for visiting specific properties, similar to monKeymining. This has been in a beta stage in collaboration with the MetaForce comics project, initiated by Recourier. After positive feedback we’re now rebranding this to monKeymiles and will regularly drop cryptomonKeys NFTs to players who visit cryptomonKeys Upland properties.

Getting Started

If you are new to this, sign up for Upland here
Since Upland is not on the WAX blockchain, it is essential that you fill out this form once so we know where to send your rewards
Make sure to join our Discord (channel #monkeymiles) for discussion with other players and support, and to not miss updates!
Now, simply visit one of the properties listed on this website in the game with your explorer. The more often you visit any of those, the higher your chance on cryptomonKeys NFT drops, which will be sent out roughly once a week.

monKeymiles Rewards update

We now regularly send out cryptomonKeys NFTs as monKeymiles rewards. This happens roughly every 1–2 weeks, depending on availability.

Cycle Summary

crytptomonKeys sent out for mining: 507
cryptomonKeys sent out for staking: 225
TOTAL sent: 732 cryptomonKeys

Note: Generally more cryptomonKeys were sent out to miners than to stakers, simply because we have way more miners than qualifying stakers. Rewards generally while be reduced over time, the reason simply being the rapid increase of participating users competing for relatively rare cryptomonKeys assets. We simply can’t distribute the majority of cryptomonKeys through Alien Worlds. We instead aim to reward specifically loyal miners and stakers with exclusive NFTs in the future. All data from cycle 1 on will be taken into account for those.

Since we started in January, a total of 30683 cryptomonKeys sent out for monKeymining and staking:
