Our team will be in the @purebasestudio discord as we build into the new year. We hope to see you there. https://t.co/tLE4pSMQAU

All refunds to holders and buyers of secondary sales have been refunded the full amount.

To the holders that minted - we thank you for your trust, belief and support. We hope to have your support on future endeavors. To the community - thank you for being loud, for showing up and for choosing to spend your time with us.

Our team is going back to basics. We are going to focus on super-serving the genesis IP that we launched in 2021, @luckyzeros, while figuring out next steps with HTMKER.

This is not the end for HTMKER. Our team still believe that this is an innovate and radical new way to launch artists, music and experiences. For the time being we will pause HTMKER social channels and Discord while we rebuild.

This was an extremely difficult decision to make but ultimately we want to do what is right for the holders. In this market & at this time, we as a team feel the most comfortable refunding holders, reflecting and coming back in 2023 with a new plan.

After consulting the holders & community & taking all feedback into consideration, we have decided that the best path forward for our holders and for the future of HTMKER will be a refund to all that minted and for us to put a pause on HTMKER while we regroup.

Upon joining, you’ll be prompted to a contestant room. This room serves as a mild filter against bots and fake, transactional grinders. You just need to answer simple questions genuinely, and the music staff will bridge a reasonable amount of folks daily.
