Rare Apepes (@RareApepesNFT) — Twitter Score 90 out of 1000

Rare Apepes is an Ethereum PFP NFT collection and meme-IP brand that blends art, imagination, and meme culture as the official account for the project built by Rare Labs. Rare Apepes's Twitter Score is 90 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #9,526 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.

Rare Apepes was co-founded by Rare Designer and kountervailor, who served as Blockchain Developer on the project. The collection draws explicit inspiration from Bored Ape Yacht Club and Rare Pepes, though it is unaffiliated with either. The genesis paid mint launched at 0.05 ETH with no whitelist or bonding curve, producing 1,999 minted tokens before a months-long pause; the remaining supply later switched to a free mint. The full collection totals 10,000 items and holds verified status on OpenSea, a distinction earned after two prior rejections and a community campaign.

Rare Apepes has expanded beyond its core PFP collection into a broader ecosystem. Holders can apply Z1 Serum NFTs to their Rare Apepes to generate Zombie Apepes, a derivative collection. The FPS game RAYC vs ZAYC was released in collaboration with TFG and Swamp Gaming partner CubeX. A second title, RAK 3022, is a browser-based 2D hack-and-slash adventure set in the Rare Apepes Memetic Universe, with a free playable demo live at rak3022.rarelabs.xyz; as of August 2025 the project reported development at 50% completion and was actively seeking strategic investors to finish it, citing planned ApeCoin and ApeChainHUB integration, on-chain NFT evolution, and multiplayer modes.

Rare Apepes underwent a leadership transition in September 2024 when CeoTim was announced as new co-owner and CEO, with the blessing of the original founders, marking what the project described as a reimagined brand era. Rare Designer subsequently announced retirement from Web3 in March 2025, noting he had not received project payments since January 2024. The project's living digital IP is now anchored by Nubi AI, and lore NFTs under the Apepe Odyssey Chapter 1 series have fully minted across multiple pieces. A limited-edition art drop featuring Nubi and a sold-out merchandise collaboration with Dudes Factory round out the project's cultural footprint. The project cites 11.3K ETH in total volume per the nubi.rareapepes.com site. Rare Apepes has published 12,884 posts and has been mentioned by 20 accounts a total of 282 times.
