Im so sorry. Im so sorry to the Aku family. I care so deeply about the Aku family, I let you all down & I'm so sorry.
I will continue to build brick by brick, continue to work tirelessly, because without the Aku community, Aku's nothing
We've come too far, I cannot stop now.

Akutars are characters & it's our hope that their beauty can be observed by everyone (see Alt Text). Excited to partner with
@MicrosoftEdge
to highlight the importance of Alt Text to ensure the visually impaired can still enjoy the richness of our characters.

The mistakes that were made are no more costly to anyone than myself. I’ve reinvested most everything into building Aku.
& most everything will go back to refunds and we will keep building what we set out to do.
Brick by brick.
Update:
.5E Refunds for Pass Holders
- Will be honored
- ETA: Monday/Tuesday
- Why? Bank opens Monday. Money from Chapter treasury will be used.
Akutars
- Will be airdropped
- Auditing contract to ensure accuracy
- ETA: Sunday
- Wait for the official Akutar OpenSea link

Simply put, Jeanette Epps has always been on a mission to chase her dreams.
Before she's set to live at the Space Station, we sat down and talked about what it takes to be an astronaut and answered fun questions for students! ✨

The last few days have been the hardest days of my life.
But, had it not been for this community I would've never reached this moment.
I've been in a hotel, thousands of miles away from my family- but, this family here stepped in and blanketed me with love I didn't deserve.
Update: It’s official! All 15,000 have officially been minted and airdropped! 🚀🚀🚀

Meet Aku: The Moon God

Aku was born from a question,
“Mom, can astronauts be black?”
His journey is one that takes him across the universe in pursuit of his dreams. Always pushing the limits and proving anything is possible.

For the past 14 or so months I’ve been in a routine of wake up… look at phone… work.
But- this morning I left my phone in the room, worked out, and walked with my daughter down to the beach.
It was the best day ever.

This has been incredibly difficult & humbling- but it has armed me with a lot of learnings.
The money is gone- but the drive and the vision is not.
At the end of the day, the learnings I've received the last few days will prove to be far more valuable than any amount of money.

The competitor in me thought the only way to stay near the top of an always on industry was to sacrifice everything & work every hour.
But, after some humbling health tests I’ve made my health a non negotiable and honestly, my energy and productivity has never been higher. 🚀

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got can apply to a lot of us builders/creators in the NFT space.
When I was slumping in the MLB. My coach pulled me aside and said,
"Don't change. Everything you were doing before you got here- is the reason you're here."

This is what the foundation of a “metaverse” looks like.
Our company utilizes Unreal Engine to build something once that can appear in Film, TV, Games, and IRL.
Aka we build big things fast with minimal technical debt.
15,000 pfp built in Unreal Engine designed for the Akuverse. This project is literally built different. You can keep your pixelated jpeg my bags are packed for the future 🚀🌘
