EDITOR 

Issue 40! 

20 weeks of Solana ecosystem news, nft’s and alpha bundled up in 

an online publication. Let’s hear a ‘woot!’ for #Shill. 

Putting together a zine twice a week is a daunting task yet, the 

content is always there. If there aren’t tweets to quote, then the zine 

is easily filled with NFT art that keeps pumping every day. Loads of 

new artists entering the space weekly. 

The more you dig, the bigger the surprise! @ctrlkaitlyn is my latest 

surprise. Hailing from QLD Australia, a blender artist that is only listing 

art that passes her satisfaction test. @singpentinkhepi is another, 

so good that @eternalsnft pointed out that people were copyminting 

them from Opensea onto Holaplex. Glad to see @singpentinkhepi 

porting their wares over to Solana. 

This issue I have done something a little different. This is the first 

time an artist has featured on the cover and the contents page. And 

deservedly so. Love your work @culturehacker! (disclaimer: I have 

never succesfully bought a CultureHacker piece) Same goes for 

@ itsMcNatt. I do, however, own an early piece from @glitchstroke 

who just keeps going from strength to strength developing his own 

unique style. You see ‘that’ NFT and you instantly know, “That’s a 

Glitchstroke piece.” PLUS, you//know//it’s//him//from//his//tweets. 

Over the last couple of issues, I have placed GYRIS in #Shill. If this 

wasn’t a heads-up-alpha-tip then I don’t know how else to point it out. 

The team is solid. Fully doxxed. Regular ‘spaces’, Discord AMA’s etc. 

Have an achievable roadmap (get to know the team to understand 

why) and have a product that is about to set NEW standards in the 

space. What’s your gameplan for this one? 

Enough said. You know the drill. Let’s f go!

and community. In the beginning of all great civilisations, the 

people did not own the land, they discovered it. All Gyris holders 

will have the opportunity to stake claim and settle in Gyris. 

There will be no initial land sale for Genesis holders as you are 

our frontier settlers. The Gyris Game will drop those willing, 

into our vast world.

The LOST ISLE 

By Treasure Island (prev. Chest) 

The Mysterious Lost Isle 

As our travels go on, we’ll continue to reveal more & more details 

about our final destination and its hidden secrets. In the meantime, 

let one of our Captains fill you in on our voyage thus far. 

During the past few days, our deck has experienced an enormous 

growth in numbers and activity. As our crew grew, we’ve noticed a 

tremendous amount of help & value provided by the community to 

others as more and more of our members find their callings on board 

and help others adjust and integrate. Since the beginning, we’ve tried 

to create a tight knit crew of pirates from different backgrounds 

and with different strengths that could bond and enjoy each other’s 

company as we all plunge into this exciting adventure! 

Animation 

Last week, some of you may have heard rumours of an upcoming Gen 

0 NFT upgrade allowing Pirates to move, shoot from their flintlocks, 

smoke their pipes & much more! Indeed, starting tomorrow, every 2 

34 


days, 1000 randomly picked NFTs will be upgraded to their animated 

version. Every selection will be made among the pool of unlisted 

NFTs on the Marketplaces. The snapshot for each update will be 

taken at a random time during each two-day period! 

Also, each week, we’ll be holding a giveaway inside our Discord for a 

custom 1/1 NFT Animation with a custom name for all Gen 0 Pirate 

Holders 

The Lost Isle (Storyline) 

While scouring the sea in the 

search for the Treasure Islands, 

one of the crewmates on the 

ship noticed an exotic Island 

with a shining blue light coming 

out of its deep jungle. To avoid 

unnecessary risks and explore 

the mysterious isle, one of our 

Captains, Sammy Tide, sent a 

small crew to investigate and 

map out the island. 

While awaiting their return, a 

turbulent storm engulfed the 

Sea. Violent rain and waves 

quickly filled up the waters 

damaging the ships and throwing a dozen pirates overboard. To save 

the crew and the numerous chests filled with gold aboard the ships, 

the Pirate fleet had no choice but to dock on the stray island. On the 

next morning, the crew realized that significant repairs needed to be 

made before it was possible to resume the search for the famous 

Islands. However, it also became clear that their current place of stay 

wasn’t safe as the scouting party disappeared without a trace. For 

the time being while the Isle is being explored and to accommodate 

their stay, a camp has been built with a Market, Bar, a lending shop 

as well as multiple smaller shacks to respond to each pirate’s needs. 

Pre IDO staking — On the Island each Pirate can go on quests to find 

resources, items & gold. Each NFT owner is allowed to choose the 

line-up for each quest by choosing the specific pirates they want to 

send as well as their amount. (Sending out multiple Pirates on one 

quest decreases the awarded amount while increasing the chances 

of finding the searched items; finding items is not guaranteed, 

allowing for different staking strategies) 


Alpha Game release — While it’s not a full release of the game and 

its utilities, it gives a chance for holders to get a small glimpse of the 

game’s mechanics and its spirit before anyone else. It also allows 

existing $Chest users and Pirates to experience firsthand multiple 

financial tools in a gamified and easy to use environment 

Borrowing & Lending Borrow & lend assets governed by $Chest 

holders, allowing b&l for both in-game assets and Solana assets 

In-game Mechanics — Experience the basic mechanics of the game, 

moving, shooting, character interactions & more in this Holder-only 

alpha. Earn items, trade, and Stake in a unique and gamified fashion. 

Community & Integrations 

Throughout these past few days, we’ve been working hard to give 

more autonomy to the community to allow everyone to participate 

and give value to the group. This is a big step for us as we move 

forward in the direction of community ownership and increased DAO 

participation in the project. Moreover, we’ve been further growing 

our community and utility by partnering up with different projects 

and protocols in the Solana ecosystem. All Pirates are now free to 

borrow against their NFT to receive an instant loan for up to 1 week 

by pawning their NFT with Pawn Shop Gnomies. Honey Finance will 

also become available starting next week. We’re already working on 

a few other integrations and partnerships, more details soon ;) 

1/1 NFT Auction 

Finally, to further increase community involvement we’ll be soon 

hosting the first 1/1 Defi Pirate related NFT, proceeds from which 

will be used as a Prize pot for community events.
