Last month we helped to redevelop the Ukubongo community centre in Shakaskraal, South Africa – through our charitable initiative #ForjForChange. The centre provides 100 deprived children with a space to play, learn, and grow.
Led by Dylan Smith, a graphic designer and part of the Forj marketing team, it was a fun packed couple of days full of laughter, painting, working together, and games.
The initiative is the second in as many years led by Dylan, and backed by the #ForjForChange team.
Don’t take our word for it though, watch how the project unfolded here…
If you registered in time, then congratulations because it’s MINT day and the moment has arrived for our whitelisted community members to get their hands on one of Paarja, Baiyun or Kaali in the latest Polygon Pet series.
If you completed the whitelist registration process, then you’ll already know that each and every Polygon Pet will come with a very special utility… a playable Polygon Pet avatar in The Sandbox!
The avatar will be playable in our upcoming Pets Rift metaverse gaming experience, due for launch later in 2023 in leading metaverse game The Sandbox, and we can’t wait!
Just to recap, Royal Sapphire is the third of four different rarities: Noble Onyx, Majestic Pearl, Royal Sapphire, and Opulent Diamond.
Those rarities will come with a higher value of utility and, in an industry-first for the Polygon brand, some characters will even enable players to participate in a metaverse experience in The Sandbox where they will be able to earn rewards for participating in virtual games and challenges.
So, now it’s time for everyone who registered for a FREE Royal Sapphire Polygon Pet to claim theirs! Here’s how…

If you missed it in December, here’s your chance to join a number of our Forj executive team as they run you through an incredible 2022 and some of the amazing plans for 2023 – you wont want to miss it!
In 2022, Forj accomplished several significant achievements, including the launch of Metaprints, a platform for creating brand experiences across multiple metaverses, and the rebranding of Bondly to FORJ in partnership with Animoca Brands. Forj also served as the official publisher and agency for The Sandbox, conducting a launchpad for Altava Group and launching the $TAVA token to NFT holders, which was one of the company’s most successful projects of the year.
Forj also developed experiences for 16 brands inside The Sandbox, including Polygon, and served as the first launchpad for a AAA game with Animoca Brands’ Phantom Galaxies project. Additionally, Forj launched Cryptosaurs in partnership with film producer Donald Kushner and his Gumbotron production team, and they plan to continue developing Cryptosaurs in the coming year.
Forj also created the first ever experiences for BAYC in The Sandbox Season 3, which was a huge success with over 165k visits and 45k unique players. Forj also launched the official mascots for Polygon called Polygon Pets, and ended the year with the submission of an AIP to Apecoin DAO, which received recognition from many community members and leaders in the space.However, Web3 projects also faced challenges in the market in the past 8 months, with land prices and volume dropping over 90% and a decrease in job postings and token performance.
One example in the Play 2 Earn space, Axie Infinity, saw a sales drop of over 90%, and Opensea Volume has also declined over the years. Despite these challenges, Forj saw opportunities for increased brand adoption and innovation, with Animoca and Sandbox bringing more brands and celebrities into the metaverse, such as DBS, the largest bank in Singapore, and the Dubai government aiming to establish an HQ in The Sandbox.
Celebrities like Gordon Ramsey, Warner Music Group, Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Steve Aoki, and Tony Hawk have also joined the metaverse. Animoca Brands also became the Title Sponsor of MotoGP and Gucci adopted ApeCoin, indicating potential for further brand adoption in the coming year.
Infrastructure development has also improved, with companies like Improbable introducing capabilities for over 20,000 users to play on their expansive metaverse. Forj’s Metaprints initiative also allows for the creation of experiences at scale.Moving forward, one of the big things coming is the Ape Accelerator, a white-labeled launchpad to support Web3 IPs growth within the Yuga Labs ecosystem. This means that there will be a flow of new projects coming into the Ape Accelerator, where not only we will host the Apes Launchpad but also increase wider distribution for all other projects.
The Ape Accelerator will also be able to use $BONDLY tokens, and holders of these tokens will have priority access. This means that if you hold $BONDLY tokens, you will be given preferential treatment in terms of your ability to participate in the Ape Accelerator and access the resources it provides.
For 2023, Forj plans to focus on using their brand to reach mass audiences and onboard new users to the Web3 space by educating and automating processes to make it easier for people to enter the metaverse. Forj will also prioritize scaling and expanding their existing projects and partnerships and exploring new opportunities in the NFT and blockchain spaces.
Forj will also prioritize community building and engagement through events and social media. Finally, Forj plans to continue the development of Cryptosaurs and potentially launch new projects in the metaverse space.
Earlier in the month, legendary film producer Donald Kushner spoke at the Red Sea Film Festival (Red Sea 360°), about a whole host of topics, not least storytelling in the metaverse.
Kushner was joined on stage by Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, and what followed was a fascinating panel discussion about how digitally connected our world continues to be, and the blurred barriers between the physical and digital.
In summer 2022, Kushner and his Gumbotron production team partnered with us, to produce a new metaverse story world – Cryptosaurs. Cryptosaurs is the “next evolution of dinosaurs,” which will take audiences on a journey using Web3 technology that will bring each Cryptosaur character to life.
We don’t want to spoil all the secrets from the article though, so make sure that you take some time out and read it here.
About Cryptosaurs
Designed and created by the team behind the legendary movie franchise Tron, Cryptosaurs are a new breed of PFP collection, featuring unique dinosaur characters.
Cryptosaurs are creatures that can ‘evolve’ through owner interactions and interventions, unlocking new utilities and opportunities along the way.
All species are bred initially from a ‘Genesis Egg’, which ensures random distribution of species to holders — although eagle-eyed egg owners may be able to distinguish some key features that will offer a clue as to the Cryptosaur within.
The Stats For ‘Monkeying Around’ Are Absolutely Bananas

Following the success of Polygon Pets Chapter 1 and 2, we have great pleasure in introducing you all to the third chapter in the series.
If you’ve missed some of the earlier fun, including the opening two chapters, head over to our recap page here for a more thorough run through.
So, without further ado, here’s Chapter 3…
**START**
In the distance, Baiyun ran for his life. Thousands of shadowy creatures chased him, all writhing masses of eldritch flesh and blinking eyes. Their vicious claws nipped at Baiyun’s heels, and the cloud leopard scattered them with a blast of wind. Clouds gathered around him and carried him away, but there were too many to fight alone.
Fortunately, he would not be alone for much longer.
Faraway, Paarja and Kaali moved.
Shadow and lightning. Each as fast as the other. The two of them swept down from the sky in two flashes of monochrome, and in an instant, they reached the pursuit that Baiyun had spent days fighting alone.
Boom!
Purple lightning split the ocean. A spout of seawater burst upwards as if a mountain had fallen into the sea. Shadowy tendrils lashed and sliced, cutting the air like a thousand blades. The dark creatures screeched and backed off, dozens of them shredded and incinerated by the combined might of storm and shadow.
Seawater fell like rain. Storm clouds gathered. Darkness thickened. And the horde of enemies that seemed impossibly huge before, now seemed so very small.
Baiyun stood stunned, blinking, as two silhouettes softly descended to stand atop the churning seas.
And where there was once one, there were now three.
“Not much changes, after all,” Paarja said, turning his head halfway to scowl at Baiyun. “You’re still getting into fights you can’t finish.”
Kaali smiled wistfully. “And here we are again, trying to get him out of it.”
Paarja scoffed, but the way he stood changed. He raised his head, squared his stance, and puffed his chest out towards the legion of foes surrounding them from all sides: It was the perfect image of an older brother trying to look dependable in front of his siblings.
Baiyun grinned widely as he stared at their backs.
“I missed you two,” he said, moving to stand in the middle of them. “I was scared I’d never see you again.”
Kaali knocked her shoulder into his. “With the kind trouble you cause? It’s hard to imagine.”
“Then… Thank you, for coming to bail me out again.”
A bolt of lightning crashed into the sea with another deafening boom. The horde of shadows flinched back. Paarja grinned as thunder boomed overhead. “Enough talking,” he said. “You have payback to deliver, little brother.”
Baiyun flexed his claws, and a rich, jade wind began to swirl around him. He roared towards the foes he had spent days running from as jade spears formed around him, the wind of Notus made solid. Baiyun laughed.
“Deliveries are what I’m best at!”
Sssspt!
The spears flew like rain and struck like thunder. They pierced several dark creatures, puncturing limbs and tearing through heads, before exploding into a burst of gale wind. Eldritch flesh crumpled as the creatures roared, enraged, before charging towards the three of them.
They were met by lightning, wind, and shadow.
Paarja shredded a three-headed shadow creature with lightning-infused claws. The winds of Notus whirled around Baiyun like great hammers, crushing all that drew near. And Kaali danced between them as she teleported across the battlefield like a specter, bouncing from shadow to shadow and slashing their foes apart.
Each wound they took was enveloped by the wind of Notus and healed in seconds. Every foe that stood in their way saw themselves incinerated by purple lightning, and all those that dared to run were broken by huge, shadowy claws.
Together, they were unstoppable. A thousand foes meant nothing.
But every legion had its leader, and he was the strongest of them all.
A beak emerged from the open Rift. Sharp and hooked, its edges lined with needle teeth. Then a wretched, curling neck, surrounded by dark feathers. Two wings followed, each vast enough to split the clouds, with feathers that glinted like ten thousand knives.
It was a huge vulture, and it had murder glinting in its crimson eyes.
The vulture’s wings rose, then—
Boom!
With a single snap of its wings, the Vulture shot out of the Rift. Water exploded in a wave behind it, displaced by the force of its wingbeat. It shot towards Baiyun.
Baiyun turned too late. Kaali screamed.
“Brother!”
Talons. A flash of lightning. The two met, and in a deafening blast of electricity, Baiyun found himself blown away as Paarja blocked the vulture’s attack. Baiyun crashed into the water, sinking deep into the sea, as lightning thundered overhead.
He desperately swam up as Kaali’s shadows joined the fighting.
Above the water, Paarja fought for his life. A beak pecked at him and he dodged, barely, to the side. He countered with a blast of lightning. Abyssal feathers absorbed it like it was nothing.
Paarja charged his lightning into his fangs, his mouth glowing with waves of heat and plasma, as Kaali battered the vulture with floating, shadowy claws.
A wing swatted her away. Paarja leapt forward.
He tore into the vulture’s neck.
Its talons pierced his chest.
In the same moment, Baiyun broke through the water, and Kaali’s shadows whipped around to strike the vulture, blasting it away. A crash. The vulture slammed into the seawater, and Kaali pounded it down further with a huge wave of solid darkness.
Paarja staggered away from their battle with torn, dark flesh in his mouth, melting in his fangs. A giant wound gaped open on his chest. Paarja staggered, then fell towards the sea.
Baiyun rushed to him, his eyes wide, as he immediately channeled the wind of Notus into the wound.
It refused to heal.
Paarja growled as he pushed the panicking Baiyun away with a paw. “I’ll live,” he said, breathing hoarsely. “Its talons are poisoned with dark energy, but I can purge it. Face forward, little brother. Our enemy isn’t gone yet.”
The two of them looked towards Kaali, who floated over the water. She looked tired and pale, her power expended, as the vulture began to rise from the sea.
It flew up to face the three of them, grievously wounded.
And for the first time, their enemy spoke.
“You swallowed the Orb of Notus,” it said, its eyes on Baiyun. The voice that left its mouth was dry—like snapping twigs and scraping stones. It hissed at them. “Know now that you will be the first to die when the queen descends.”
Baiyun glared. “She won’t find me again.”
The vulture tilted its head at them, then smiled wickedly as a low, rumbling growl began to echo from the Rift. Two obsidian claws emerged and began to pull the Rift apart, forcing it open wider.
A single red eye, as vast as the moon in the sky, peered up at them all.
The vulture released a dry, scraping laugh.
“She already has.”
