Validator Details
The Chimpions
The Chimpions Validator is operated by the elected CHIAO council. It originates from the first whitelist-only, fully animated 1-of-1 collection on Solana (222 pieces), the first to use Libreplex on-chain inscriptions and to embed artist commissions in each NFT’s metadata.

Pioneering NFT collection
Chimpions launched the first whitelist-only mint on Solana, delivered the first fully animated 1-of-1 set (222 pieces), pioneered Libreplex inscriptions, and remains the only collection that embeds commissioned artwork directly in NFT metadata.
Community art & governance
Fully owned by a DAO with an elected volunteer council, Chimpions subsidises artist commissions, routes royalties to creators, hosts an open art hub, and collaborates with projects like Knittables and Suns Saga to promote Solana talent.
Ecosystem partnerships & investments
A Ledger partnership, and early-stage investments in Adrastea, DoubleZero, and Carrot demonstrate the project’s ongoing commitment to growing the Solana ecosystem.
