Thread by @braposo

A *lot* has been said about @Grim__Syndicate, @JustinMezzell and @moonbirds_xyz lately but is this just a typical influencer pump or are we looking at a true sleeping giant?

A (long) thread... 🧵

Before we start let's get this straight: I have 4 grims, 2 daemons and I'm in charge of alpha collabs at Grim Syndicate.

I didn't mint but I'm a holder since December 2021, haven't sold any yet but have one of them listed.

So what's so special about Grims?

It all starts with a great team.

We all know @JustinMezzell by now, but what about all the others that help building this project every day?

Grims have a structure like very few have in NFTs, and especially in Solana. They cover everything from art, to financials, to growth.

This is one of the most professional teams in the space and you can definitely tell that the minute you interact with any part of the project from the discord, to the ETA dashboard, to the newsletter.

In fact they even have a quarterly financial report🤯 cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/88…

Let's just stop for a minute here and look back into the history of Grim Syndicate.

This was a project that minted on October 1st, 2021 so very early in the space.

The fp has been quite steady around 2-4 in the last 6 months, but why such behavior with very little "utility"?

Killer art!

Grims are very simple to the eye, yet really complex and full of little details that make them special to those who collect them

There's definitely a Grim for everyone of us and people really become attached to their Grims. Here's a random selection from the market

So we've seen that team is stellar, art is great, but what else has kept Grims afloat all these months?

The community!

The Grims are very different from the typical hype projects, this is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and mature community in the space.

This is a community that understand the value of a project and isn't afraid of holding it long term.

If we look at the stats we see that most people have been holding grims for more than 2 months and a big percentage over 6 months! That's insane for an NFT project!

And that's not all, when we look at who the holders are, we see many that belong to the top projects in #SolanaNFTs

220 @peskypenguins, 170 @DegenApeAcademy, 168 @FamousFoxFed, 158 @SolanaMBS and the list goes on!

This is also why our alpha channel is so well respected by many.

Ok that sounds great but we're barely scratching the surface here.

Grims are also builders, and we have LOTS of them: @shinsengokuNFT @viewsolana @forgebots @TheRoundies @Boopieverse @HappyThoughtNFT @Poorbirds_xyz @proof_xyz @moonbirds_xyz are all projects started by Grims!

Let's do a quick recap then:
✅ Team
✅ Art
✅ Community

We talked about the team, the art and the community, but we haven't really talked much about the project, right?

What *is* the Grim Syndicate and what to expect when joining the project?

"The Grim Syndicate is an elite collective of 10,000 Grim Reaper Agents responsible for ferrying some of those fickle Souls from across the dimensional spectrum."

There's another collection called Lurkers of the Abyss which are the main component of the Abysswalkers P2E game

There are many things still in development and many surprises reserved for the future.

This is a very well-planned project with lots of different aspects that is just unwrapping bits by bits as the story unfolds.

Take a look at what's coming up in the next months #bullish

Remember when I said that the team was one of the best in the space?

Well, not only you can stake your Grims to earn $ASTRA, but also have an integrated dashboard to stake SOL with @MarinadeFinance!

Do you still think this is a typical NFT project?

Of course not!

This is a very complex and well-thought project with stunning art, being executed by a world-class team that provides real value to an amazing community.

No wonder why after all the attention from Moonbirds mint, Grims discord has been stormed by these birds!

Now the million dollar question: how far can Grims go?

Let's just say that right now there's no other Solana project with the same level of connection to ETH as Grims.

What that means exactly we don't know but one thing is certain: @JustinMezzell is here to stay #welikethegrims
