About Us — APES OF INFLUENCE (AOI)
Where Influence Meets Web3.
The Apes of Influence (AOI) was created around one shared belief: the most powerful force in the digital world isn't money, technology, or algorithms — it's influence. We live in a culture where a single creator can move markets, make memes into headlines, send brands into orbit, and shift global attention with a post, a video, a stream, or a tweet. AOI is a private Web3 membership built to unite that power — not scatter it.
AOI is not a passive NFT collection or a flex based on rarity alone. It is a network of active digital leaders — creators, collectors, influencers, hosts, founders, strategists, meme-makers, viral architects, storytellers, and audience-builders — who show up online every day with energy, creativity, and motion. If BAYC represented the early cultural movement of NFTs, AOI represents the next era — where NFTs are social access passes to communities that actually do things.
Our Mission
AOI exists to bring together the most active, visible, and influential voices in Web3 and convert their collective reach into opportunity — for each member and for the community as a whole.
We are building a membership that empowers:
→Creators to grow faster
→Collectors to collaborate more deeply
→Brands to discover authentic partnerships
→Innovators to test, build, and scale
→Influencers to amplify each other's work
→Communities to launch real-world initiatives
AOI is more than identity —
it's identity in motion.
What We Stand For
Activity
Influence only matters when used. AOI rewards participation and contribution — members who sit still add nothing to culture.
Collaboration
One voice can be loud — many voices aligned can be seismic. AOI members connect to co-create, co-launch, and co-promote.
Authenticity
Follower count matters less than impact. AOI values creators who actually move audiences, not those who simply have them.
Access
AOI opens doors to deals, drops, brand partnerships, collabs, and opportunities that individuals rarely find alone.
Evolution
Web3 never stops changing. Neither do we. AOI adapts, iterates, learns, and builds forward.
Why Influence? Why Now?
Influence has always been currency — NFTs simply made it visible, verifiable, and transferable.
Creators today don't just entertain; they drive buying decisions, shape culture, and build narratives that companies spend millions trying to imitate.
AOI turns that organic creative force into a structured advantage.
Inside AOI, members get access to one another, forming amplification networks, cross-platform collaborations, brand deal pipelines, and mint-to-earn activations only possible when influence meets intentionality.

The Future of Influence Is Shared
As Web3 matures, the next wave of cultural power will flow to active communities with aligned influence, not disconnected creators shouting alone. AOI was designed to be that force — a collective of builders who lift each other higher.
AOI members don't just watch what happens online —
they make it happen.
