How it started

Last Valentine’s Day, a lightbulb moment hit our team: What if we airdropped a unique ❤️ Heart NFT to all our Tribes’ supporters? Not for hype or vanity, but as a heartfelt “thank you.” We went for it, and the outpouring of love we received in return was unprecedented. What fun. Right there and then, the Tribes Vibes collection was born.

Introducing a collectible to celebrate milestones with our community has become a tradition for us, a ritual of sorts. From the quirky koala (or should I say, co-walla) to the surreal flying dollar, the meditative bonsai, and the mystic crescent moon, we’ve celebrated both grand launches and tiny tweaks in our journey with these drops. Along the way, it’s become about more than just collectibles.

With Tribes Vibes, we’re knitting the fabric of a special community — our Founding Tribe.

Holding Tribes Vibes says, “I was here early,” and if you were here early, we’re working on more ways to get you involved and reward you. Tribes Vibes collectibles are a fun way to organize this community and an onchain path enabling us to reward our earliest supporters as Tribes grows.

Founding Tribe

Every revolution starts with a tribe, a group of visionaries who see the future before it becomes reality. As Tribes prepares for its next chapter, we’re looking to launch our Founding Tribe.

On web2, we “users” power platforms like Instagram and Twitter/X with our content, accepting dopamine hits instead of durable rewards. But on web3, we’re revolutionizing this dynamic. Now, assets and ownership aren’t just concepts but standards, enabling platforms to reward their community tangibly. This model is a virtuous cycle — at their best, these new systems can reward individuals, improve the community, and strengthen the network all at once.

Rewarding our early supporters

The Tribes Vibes collection is a testament to our gratitude to those who’ve been with us from the early stages. It’s a token of appreciation, our way of saying, “Thank you for believing in us, for collaborating, and for co-creating Tribes Messenger.” We aim for an exhilarating journey ahead, full of rewards, recognition, and shared achievements.

Every member will be rewarded for their contributions to the community and network. Founding Tribes members will enjoy early access and exclusive features, influence product decisions, special discounts, and more. While the finer details of the Founding Tribe will unravel in future posts, for now, remember: every Tribes Vibes collectible you hold increases your stake in our ecosystem and its rewards.

Please follow us on Twitter/X to stay tuned as we share more specifics about our reward mechanisms, ensuring every voice is heard and appreciated. On Tribes, you’re not just a user but a co-creator.

And as a token of gratitude, we’ve minted a new addition to the Tribes Vibes collection: Ahoy! 🏴‍☠️. Catch it if you can! It’s available now in the Tribes apps and at chat.tribes.xyz.
