Five months after Johnny’s Tontachi idea for an ApeChain Mario Kart meets Pokémon Go style game won ApeCoin’s ApeDen hackathon event, the project is minting its first ever ApeChain character, dubbed ApeTon, on Blever and everyone’s invited to ape in!

“ApeTon are the first official characters in our forthcoming Newton Collection of tontachiAR,” the project wrote. “These are super rare with special attributes only on ApeChain. This limited, hybrid collection contains advanced utility in our mobile game, with a 1:1 association to our utility token, $BACON. Owning an ApeTon gives exclusive access to robust features related to blockchain gaming, play-to-earn, augmented reality, and their convergence IRL. “

 

In total, 1,111 NFTs are available for 11 $APE or $6 USD each.

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Tontachi is a racing game that invites players to hop on a hog and race against their frens while also letting them take “pigtures” of their pigs in the real world using AR!

“Tontachi is an ambitious project and we’re a small team, but I think I’ve discovered the solution to the proper balance of web3 and AR tech, and tbh ApeChain is the final element,” Johnny told the Gazette back in March.

 

If you mint an ApeTon NFT today, you’ll be able to use it in races inside the app and unlock a bunch of crypto oppurutnties because the NFT  doubles as an ERC-20 token called $BACON, according to Johnny.

Looking ahead, Johnny says the team plans to add ApeCoin to the game’s liquidity pools by September, following this mint, and then activate the game IRL at ApeFest 2025.
