Chimpers

Chimpers is an Ethereum NFT character brand built around a cast of pixel-art chimps, known for an animation-led art direction that carried it beyond a static PFP collection into games, drops, and brand collaborations.

What is Chimpers

Chimpers launched as a 5,555-piece pixel-art character collection on Ethereum and has grown into a broader IP. It was created by the UK artist Timpers, previously of RTFKT and Nouns, with the world's lore written by his twin brother Insight. The project runs its own collector hub at collect.chimpers.com — the "Chimpers Dojo Club" — alongside a treasury and follow-on lines such as the PixelWorks collection. Its public voice is @ChimpersHQ; an earlier account, @ChimpersNFT, is retained as an archive.

Key Features

• A character-led NFT brand whose identity is its art and animation rather than a utility roadmap.
• Multiple collection lines and drops issued over time, coordinated through the project's own collector site.
• A collaboration-heavy posture: Chimpers routinely appears inside other projects' events rather than only its own.

Ecosystem & Backing

Chimpers is Ethereum-native — that is where the collection lives and where it is priced — but its surfaces and collaborations cross ecosystems: the Chimpers card app runs on Base, ApeChain and Abstract. In July 2026 a limited run of Chimpers football jerseys — physical kits paired with digital counterparts — was sold through dyli_io, the Abstract-based marketplace for physical collectibles, and @FrankyGo ran a Chimpers-branded tournament with a free in-game skin. Hosting a drop on a partner's marketplace is a partnership, not a change of home chain.
