Timeline
2022
Gorillae Gang is born
In the heart of the Tulum jungle, a group of creators and territorial stewards launches an NFT collection on Solana. Ecological urgency is the spark; crypto, the tool. Not a profile-picture project — a statement of belonging. From the start, the movement built alliances with projects across the local ecosystem.
