OUR VISION - AN INCLUSIVE WEB3

DAW’s vision is a world of limitless creative freedom for all, regardless of who they are. Where everyone can find a representation of themselves in the collection or through our experiences, make and share wild art, music, writing, fashion, memes, and more. Where artists of all kinds have a platform to push the limits of what’s possible and impact more people with their work. And where brands can find ways to express themselves in the metaverse and beyond.

THE DAW COLLECTION

We originally dropped 10,000 unapologetic female ape characters in October 2021. The collection was carefully designed and curated to represent influential and iconic women and styles in history and pop culture.

Each Desperate Apewife is unique and algorithmically generated from over 218 traits. DAWs are stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS.
