Welcome to the BizarreBeasts Empire (powered by @glanker)! Whether you are new to the project or a current community member, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get involved, understand the $BB token, engage with the community, take advantage of the exciting Boosters available this month, and learn how to join the BizarreBeasts Warpcast channel.
Before diving into the mechanics of the BizarreBeasts Empire, I want to share the ethos behind the BizarreBeasts project with you. BizarreBeasts isn’t just about NFTs or tokens; it represents the culmination of my lifelong passion for creation and cultural freedom.
My work has always existed in the space between humor and intensity, where the comical and the unsettling coexist. This duality is central to BizarreBeasts—where darkly captivating characters explore the absurd and sometimes eerie aspects of what it means to be a BizarreBeast in a human world.
The BizarreBeasts Empire is my way of combining these two worlds—traditional art and decentralized technology—to create something truly BIZARRE! Through this empire, I aim to bring together a community of collectors, investors, and art lovers who not only enjoy my creations but can also be part of a movement that supports innovation and new forms of artistic expression across illustration, painting, digital media, web3 games, and other evolving mediums.
The $BB token funds creative projects, games, and artwork, providing a platform for all of us to actively participate in this artistic journey.

The BizarreBeasts Empire is a creative ecosystem centered around original onchain artwork and media, powered by the $BB token. It aims to support projects, games, and artwork within the BizarreBeasts ecosystem while offering economic opportunities for the community. The empire emphasizes collaboration, engagement, and rewarding participation.
The "empire" refers to the self-sustaining ecosystem we are building, in which the $BB token plays a central role in funding new initiatives, rewarding community members, and powering future developments. Each participant, trader, collector, and supporter contributes to its growth.
At the core of the BizarreBeasts Empire is the $BB token. Here’s how it works:
Funding Projects: The $BB token funds new creative projects, including artwork, games, and community-driven initiatives. As the empire expands, more funds are allocated to new ventures and developments.
Community Rewards: Holding $BB tokens provides access to rewards that depend on your involvement. The more $BB tokens you hold, the greater your potential rewards and opportunities for treasury distributions, raffles, and community engagement. Documentation for $BB tokenomics are being developed.
Joining the Community: To become a member of the BizarreBeasts Warpcast Channel, you must have a minimum of 25 million $ BB tokens. This requirement ensures that only the most engaged and committed members are part of the community, fostering deeper connections and more valuable interactions.
Boosters: Boosters are multipliers associated with the NFTs and ERC20 tokens you hold. They enhance your rewards and help you move up the leaderboard, depending on your token holdings and participation. The more Boosters you possess, the higher your rank and the greater the rewards you will receive.
To join the BizarreBeasts Warpcast Channel, you must hold at least 25 million $BB tokens. This requirement ensures that only the most committed members are part of the BizarreBeasts community, fostering deeper discussions and collaborations.
Once you meet the minimum $BB token requirement, you’ll be able to access the BizarreBeasts Warpcast Channel, where you can engage with the community, receive exclusive updates, and participate in discussions about the future of the empire. As a channel member, you also gain access to our channel reward token $BIZARRE, powered by Openrank.
Boosters serve as multipliers that help you increase your score on the leaderboard and earn rewards based on the tokens and NFTs you hold. They incentivize active participation and support for the project.
Boosters are associated with specific tokens and NFTs. By holding certain NFTs or ERC20 tokens, you unlock multipliers that enhance your score and ranking on the leaderboard.
Example: If you hold 200,000 $BB tokens along with a 5x Booster, your score will multiply by a factor of 5, allowing you to climb the leaderboard faster and earn more rewards.
Boosters are crucial for promoting community participation and engagement, playing a key role in maintaining a vibrant and exciting ecosystem.
Here are the Boosters available in April, including their multipliers and how they work:
COMMIT (NFT) – 5x Multiplier
Hold the COMMIT NFT to earn a 5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 200,000 $BB tokens, your score will be 1,000,000 (200,000 * 5x).
BIZARRE (ERC20) – 5x Multiplier
Hold 200,000 BIZARRE tokens to unlock this 5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 200,000 BIZARRE tokens, your score will be 1,000,000 (200,000 * 5x).
Calzone PFP 3 (NFT) – 3.5x Multiplier
Hold this NFT to get a 3.5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 600,000 $BB tokens, your score will be 2,100,000 (600,000 * 3.5x).
BizarreBeasts Memory Game (ERC20) – 3.5x Multiplier
Hold 600,000 BizarreBeasts Memory Game tokens for a 3.5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 600,000 BizarreBeasts Memory Game tokens, your score will be 2,100,000 (600,000 * 3.5x).
hmbt (ERC20) – 3.5x Multiplier
Hold 22,222,222 hmbt tokens to unlock this 3.5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 22,222,222 hmbt tokens, your score will be 77,777,777 (22,222,222 * 3.5x).
BizarreBeast Creator Coin [fid:357897] (ERC20) (BizarrBeast Creator Coin) – 2x Multiplier
Hold 10 fid:357897 tokens for a 2x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 10 fid:357897 tokens, your score will be 20 (10 * 2x).
BizarreBeasts Hypersub (NFT) – 2x Multiplier
Hold the BizarreBeasts NFT for a 2x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 200,000 $BB tokens, your score will be 400,000 (200,000 * 2x).
GLANKER (ERC20) – 1.5x Multiplier
Hold 1,000,000 GLANKER tokens for a 1.5x multiplier.
Example: If you hold 1,000,000 GLANKER tokens, your score will be 1,500,000 (1,000,000 * 1.5x).
The leaderboard tracks your progress based on the Boosters and tokens you hold. The more Boosters you have, the higher your rank, resulting in greater rewards you can earn.
To remain competitive and earn rewards, be sure to actively engage and hold the right tokens and NFTs.
As part of the BizarreBeasts Empire, rewards are distributed from the treasury to active community members based on leaderboard rankings and participation. Here’s how it works:
Total Value to Distribute: This is the amount available in the treasury for distribution to the community.
Leaderboard Rankings: The top members based on their Boosters and $BB tokens will receive a share of the rewards. The higher your rank on the leaderboard, the greater your chance of receiving rewards.
Raffle Mode: Rewards aren’t just for the top rankers! Raffle Mode allows for a randomized distribution for specific leaderboard ranks, adding a fun and unpredictable element to the reward distribution process.
The goal is to ensure that rewards are fairly distributed based on your engagement with the BizarreBeasts Empire, rewarding those who actively participate and support the project's growth while ranking on the leaderboard.
The BizarreBeasts Empire is just beginning, and many more exciting developments are on the horizon! Here’s what you can expect:
Regular releases of new Boosters.
Creative projects funded by the $BB token.
Community events and collaborations to promote the growth of the empire.
Now that you understand the $BB token, the Boosters, and how to maximize your rewards within the BizrreBeasts Empire, it’s time to get involved!
Buy $BB Tokens: Purchase $BB Tokens.
Engage in the Community: Join the BizarreBeasts Warpcast Channel (with 25 million $BB tokens) and connect with others.
Start Collecting Boosters: Hold NFTs and tokens to unlock Boosters and maximize your rewards.
The BizarreBeasts Empire offers you the chance to be part of something BIZARRE and special. Together, we will create something truly incredible. LFBizarre!
What is the BizarreBeasts Empire?
The BizarreBeasts Empire is a creative ecosystem centered around original on-chain artwork and media, powered by the $BB token. It aims to support projects, games, and artwork within the BizarreBeasts ecosystem while providing economic opportunities for the community. The empire emphasizes collaboration, engagement, and rewarding participation in an environment where art and decentralized technology merge.
What is the $BB token and how does it work?
The $BB token is at the heart of the BizarreBeasts Empire. It funds creative projects, games, and artwork within the empire. Holding $BB tokens provides access to rewards based on your participation and engagement. The more $BB tokens you hold, the greater your potential rewards and chances of receiving treasury distributions, raffles, and other benefits within the community.
How do I join the BizarreBeasts community?
To join the BizarreBeasts Warpcast Channel and become part of the community, you must hold a minimum of 25 million $BB tokens. This requirement ensures that the most engaged members can take part in meaningful discussions and collaborations within the community.
What are Boosters?
Boosters are multipliers linked to specific NFTs and ERC20 tokens in your possession. They enhance your leaderboard score and the rewards you earn, depending on the tokens and NFTs in your collection. The more Boosters you possess, the higher your ranking on the leaderboard, consequently increasing your chances of receiving rewards.
How do Boosters work?
When you hold specific NFTs or ERC20 tokens, you unlock multipliers (Boosters) that increase your score on the leaderboard. For instance, holding 200,000 $BB tokens along with a 5x Booster would multiply your score by 5, allowing you to rise up the leaderboard more quickly.
How do I earn rewards within the BizarreBeasts Empire?
Rewards are distributed from the treasury based on your ranking on the leaderboard and your participation in the community. The higher your Booster multipliers and the more $BB tokens you hold, the greater your chances of earning rewards. Raffle Mode also introduces a random element, allowing some top participants to win rewards through a lottery system.
How does the treasury distribution work?
The treasury manages funds that are allocated and distributed to the community. The allocation process is determined by leaderboard rankings and participation. There's no need to claim rewards manually; they are awarded to active members based on their involvement. Rewards are divided among the top leaderboard participants, with an added element of surprise through Raffle Mode.
What is the purpose of the BizarreBeasts Empire?
The BizarreBeasts Empire isn’t solely focused on creating NFTs and tokens; it aims to build a creative ecosystem where art, innovation, and community can flourish. The objective is to support new projects, reward active participants, and fund artistic initiatives through the $BB token while uniting a community of creators, collectors, and innovators.

@bizarrebeast with the fantastic @rodeodotclub flow! 9 diff panels, live now, celebrating the launch of his new @farcade game. Collect all of them to get a Free Full Grid drop + entry into a raffle to win 5mil $BB! Have to think he's going to be taking advantage of the new Empire Builder expansion to allowing 20 Boosters! Also one of the best explainers/roll outs for how Empire helps Creators in his paragraph post here: https://paragraph.com/@bizarrebeasts/discover-the-bizarrebeasts-empire-everything-you-need-to-know-to-get-started (which you also want to collect as a booster 😉) Honestly... @bizarrebeast is crushing it! Showing how to weave together @rodeodotclub, @paragraph, /farcade, & Empire Builder /glanker into a very mighty flow! What will he do next on the road from Dream to Empire! 🏛️ cc: @proxystudio.eth @dish @jessepollak @chuckstock @diviflyy
My fren! Empire has totally freed me up to FINALLY weave all of these components together to create something BIZARRE! Thanks for the tremendous utility stack 🙌 🫶
There is a fresh 5x booster in the BizarreBeasts ($BB) Empire for collecting my @paragraph, "Discover the BizarreBeasts Empire: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started."👇 Another $BB distribution will be dropping this week! How will you stack up on the leaderboard? https://paragraph.com/@bizarrebeasts/discover-the-bizarrebeasts-empire-everything-you-need-to-know-to-get-started?referrer=0x3FDD6aFEd7a19990632468c7102219d051E685dB
Do you know if you can connect other wallets to the empire, because I hold most of the bizarre beast boosters outside of my Warpcast wallet
Whatever wallet you have $BB tokens in are in the empire automatically. For the benefit of your leaderboard rank I would recommend putting your tokens in the wallet with your boosters. Rn it considers the wallets separately
Who doesn't love a weekend notification letting you know about $BB rewards dropped to your wallet?! Learn more about the BizarreBeasts Empire and check out the "Get Started" guide in the comments.👇 GO BIZARRE. GET BANK.
