Thugbirdz is an OG collection on the Solana blockchain. The flock has ruled the skies of Solana since they were first minted on October 9, 2021. Now, a year later, the Solana ecosystem is in crisis. The suits have lied, obfuscated and centralized their way to immense power that has created tremendous pressure on the builders, creators, curators and promoters who have made Solana more than a blockchain. It's become a way of life. So Thugbirdz called in the Hellbenders, an outlaw biker gang of massive salamanders native Appalachia, the Ozarks and the Alleghenies. Armed with a new royalty-sharing protocol, Social Crypto Syndication, and a mobile app, Scoby Social, Thugbirdz and Hellbenders are crackin' skulls, breakin' hearts and robbing with a gun. Let's take back Solana and create the world we want.
