THE BORED APE GAZETTE

In Chinese culture, 2026 is the Year of the Horse, but in the Ethereum ecosystem, it’s already shaping up to be the Year of Milady after Vitalik Buterin swapped his profile picture to an esoteric anime girl and shared the two things he hopes to accomplish this year, along with how he plans to do it.

Behind every Ape PFP is a real person celebrating life’s highs and navigating its lows as best they can. One of those people is Bored Ape Yacht Club member Crowey. This holiday season, Crowey suffered a sudden and heartbreaking loss when his father passed away. But in the midst of grief, he found support from his online community and discovered a way to give his father a legacy that will live onchain.   “This is the hardest post I’ve ever written.

HV-MTLs aren’t spare parts rusting onchain anymore, as the collection’s new owners, Adam Weitsman and Gabe, prepare to reboot the project in 2026. But before that can begin, holders need to reactivate their bots. It’s the last Monday of 2025, and things are chaotic across Web3 and beyond as people juggle tax loss harvesting and time with their families. But amid the holiday hustle, HV-MTL owner and prolific NFT collector Adam Weitsman reminded his  holders to take a moment an

Forget horoscopes and soothsayers. $Apes prefer to learn what the future holds in cookie form. Earlier this month, ApeChain builder Tom DeCicco launched a project that isn’t about hype or the current meta, but instead focuses on fate, chance, and vibes; all wrapped up in onchain fortune cookies.     “Fortune Cookie s a small onchain ritual built for ApeChain,” Tom said. “At its core, it is a once-per-day mint where anyone can spend 1 APE, crack open a digital fortune cookie,
