Is the plan to monetize this with paid 'gear' upgrades & 'claiming'? Feels a lot like an NFT project from 3 years ago.

Haha I don't think anyone would pay money for a monkey hat, and it would take away from the fun if they did

Some people would. But that doesn’t mean we should exploit them. I really admire what you’ve made and I think any attempt to cash in would sour and diminish your accomplishment.

Not that art shouldn’t be salable. But not all art is appropriate for monetization.
