New week, new stories about the accessories of @PepeExplorers 🐸🚀 If you read all the quoted tweets below, you’ll discover the stories behind many of our accessories and where the ideas came from. These aren’t just random hats or accessories copied from Bored Ape or somewhere else. Every item comes from a real idea, a mix of memes, sci-fi movies, jokes, references, and a lot of love for the details. Sometimes the private joke is right there in front of you. Sometimes you have to look a little closer. 👀 Let’s start with **FROG PRIME**. This is a unique helmet that exists on only one NFT. We wanted to create a futuristic Navy SEAL-style helmet, with Pepe raising his hand like: “Yep. That’s me. I’m the first one.” 🫡 Almost as if the collector who owns this NFT can say: “Yeah… I’m the one who has this accessory.” 😎 A rare item for a rare Pepe. The second accessory we’re featuring is "Shoot Number II". This one is a tribute to an accessory from the PEPECAT collection. We thought it would be hilarious to bring it into Pepe Explorers and simply rename it… "Number II". 😂 Personally, I love this one. Especially the Pepe crying as he comes out of the cannon. "Predator Claws" is a hand accessory designed by @JaruganOngarch He created several NFTs inspired by the *Predator* movies, and I think these blades turned out particularly badass. 👹🔪 And then we have "Amphibian ExoBody". Imagine a Pepe who has gone too far into the future. At some point, his body stopped being biological. The organs were replaced piece by piece with mechanical systems. The heart became a reactor. The bones became a reinforced exoskeleton. The flesh… well, maybe there wasn’t much left to save. 🤖🐸 What started as a simple amphibian eventually became something much more advanced: a living machine. The "Amphibian ExoBody" is what happens when a Pepe decides that evolution is too slow… and upgrades himself instead. 😎 Have a great day, everyone, and enjoy another week in the crypto world. 🐸🚀

New story time from the @PepeExplorers accessories collection! 🚀 🦈 "Jawzilla" is one of the rarest mouth masks, combining a fierce jawpiece with a high-tech eyepatch. We all know the classic pirate eyepatch—but we wanted to reimagine it for the future. Imagine replacing your eye with skin-linked sensors that let you see in entirely new ways. 👽 "Xeno Eye" is one of the rarest eyes in the collection, inspired by UFO lore and especially by "Species 64" from "Alien: Earth" serie. If you haven't watched it yet, I definitely recommend it! 📡 "Monitoring" is an accessory that first appeared in the Pepecat collection, and it's one I'll keep bringing back. It's a reminder that we're always being watched, and a little nod to what early crypto enthusiasts valued most: anonymity. 🖤 "Dark Protector" is one of the few back accessories that feels truly alive, more like a spirit than an object. It's not inspired by any movie or pop culture reference, it's a completely original design by @para__kingdom . 🐼 "Flying Panda" was born during a team brainstorming session. We knew we wanted a rare panda in the collection, but couldn't figure out how it would fit a space universe. Someone had the brilliant idea: "What if it flies?" Suddenly, it looked less like a panda... and more like its own little spaceship. 🔥 "Pyrox" is today's final accessory, and one of my personal favorites. It's one of the rare pieces that combines two accessories into one: a missile launcher arm and a flaming hand. We designed it to be rare, fun, and unapologetically badass. Thanks for reading! More behind-the-scenes stories are coming soon. Explore • Expand • Evolve 🚀

🚨 A new Pepe Explorers Evolve is about to join the collection! 🐸⚡ 👉opensea.io/collection/pep… @10kai_nft burned 30 NFTs to forge this absolute badass: Nightwing PEPE 🦇🥷 Rocking his iconic suit and dual electric battle sticks, he’s ready to kick some serious butt! ⚡💥 But the real question is… who will be the first to spot the Batman private joke hidden in this NFT? 👀😉 A huge THANK YOU to @10kai_nft for supporting the @PepeExplorers collection and for being there since the very beginning of our crypto adventure, all these years later. 🙏💚 Much love and strength to you, Tenkai, and to the entire NFT community! 🚀🐸💪 👉linktr.ee/PEPE_EXPLORERS

🚀 @PepeExplorers is evolving with a brand-new BURN mechanic! 🐸🔥 🔗 opensea.io/collection/pep… In this thread, we'll explain exactly how it works and how it will be launched. 👇 --- # 🔥 PEPE EXPLORERS EVOLVE A brand-new collection with a new logo has been created on OpenSea: 🔗 opensea.io/collection/pep… It's called **PEPE EXPLORERS EVOLVE**. This collection will showcase every unique creation made by our community. After completing a BURN, you'll receive your brand-new customized NFT by @para__kingdom in this collection. The goal is simple: reward our biggest holders by allowing them to create their own unique accessories while keeping their favorite Pepe Explorer safely in their wallet. --- # ✨ How does it work? Imagine you own a Pepe Explorer that you absolutely love, but you've always wished you could add your own custom accessory. Now you can. Simply submit your idea, or even a reference image, and we'll design a brand-new accessory based on your concept. The only rule is that it should stay true to the "Pepe Explorers universe": space-themed, meme-inspired, creative and fun. 🚀👽 --- # 🎨 Available customization slots You can either "add" a new accessory or "replace" an existing one in the following categories: 🎒 Adventure Expedition Bag — Backpack 👕 Cosmic Clothing — Outfit 🤖 Cosmic Companion — Robot or creature appearing in the top-right corner 🌌 Cosmic Horizon — Background scenery 🪖 Evolve Mask — Helmet, head accessory or any space-inspired idea 🧤 Explorer Glove — Space accessory held in Pepe's hand 🟢 Nano Blush — Skin tattoo or body detail 👀 Quantum Eyes — New eye designs 🕶 Space Glasses — Any kind of futuristic glasses 😁 TechSmile — Mouth, lips or fun smile customization 😷 UnderHood — Gas mask or mouth accessory --- You can either: ✅ Add a completely new accessory. ✅ Replace an existing one. For example, if you love everything about your NFT except the helmet and companion, you can simply replace those two traits. I'll share one of my own NFTs as an example. Every custom accessory created will receive its own unique trait name inside the "PEPE EXPLORERS EVOLVE" collection. --- # 🔥 Burn Cost Each custom accessory costs **10 BURN**. • 1 accessory = "10 BURN" • 2 accessories = "20 BURN" • 3 accessories = "30 BURN" A maximum of "3 accessories can be customized per NFT." However, there's "no limit" to the number of NFTs you can evolve. --- # ⭐ Burn Value by NFT Rarity Not all NFTs have the same burn value: 🟠 Orange Rare NFTs = "5 NFTs" 🟣 Purple NFTs = "3 NFTs" 🔵 Blue NFTs = "2 NFTs" ⚪ Gray Common NFTs = "1 NFT" Personally, I think burning an Orange Rare would be a shame 😄. I'd rather keep it and simply evolve it with custom accessories, but the choice is entirely yours. You must also own the NFT you want to evolve. --- # 🚀 Endless creativity The Pepe Explorers collection already includes "over 900 highly detailed accessories". Now we're taking things even further by bringing "your ideas" to life. This is another first for a collection on @opensea . We'll have so much fun discovering completely unique Explorers together: 🥷 A Space Ninja Pepe. 🛸 A Pepe surrounded by UFO gadgets. 🦄 A crazy explorer wearing a unicorn-shaped space helmet. Or anything else your imagination can create. The possibilities are almost endless, and we'll discover these new Explorers together as a community. --- # 📅 Launch Date The BURN system officially launches on "July 20th". I'm choosing this date because I'll be traveling beforehand, and I'd rather enjoy time with my family than spend my vacation working from a hotel room. ❤️ --- # ⚠️ Important The official burn wallet address will be announced on "July 20th". "Please do not send any NFTs before then." Each burned NFT must be sent from the same wallet that will receive the new customized NFT. We'll provide the exact burn address on launch day. --- I truly believe this system will bring a huge wave of creativity and excitement to the community while creating an incredibly rare companion collection alongside Pepe Explorers. This is only the beginning. Long live @PepeExplorers Explore • Expand • Evolve 🐸🌌🪐🚀
