The token draws inspiration from the famous proverb of the "Three Wise Monkeys"—"See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil."

What is Wise Monkey?

Wise Monkey ($MONKY) is a Meme coin built on the BNB blockchain, launched by Ape Accelerator & Forj, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, with strong backing from Floki.
The token draws inspiration from the famous proverb of the “Three Wise Monkeys”—“See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.” This proverb has garnered approximately 11 million search results globally and serves as $MONKY’s mission to promote responsible, community-focused thinking within Web3.

Why Wise Monkey?

A Story Rooted in Culture

The “Three Wise Monkeys” are widely considered one of the earliest memes. This cultural symbol has transcended centuries, conveying universal values of “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.” Its simplicity and visual clarity have made it a cultural cornerstone, evolving from ancient Japanese carvings to modern adaptations across global media.

Over the years, this symbol has been reinterpreted countless times, appearing in political cartoons, pop culture, and social media. From historical figures like U.S. President Bill Clinton referencing it during a NATO summit to modern icons like Neymar and Kim Kardashian, this meme continues to prove its relevance and adaptability.
Now, $MONKY leverages this enduring cultural momentum to bring the wisdom of the “Three Wise Monkeys” into the crypto world.

Adaptation to the Web3 Era

In the fast-evolving Web3 landscape, the values of the “Three Wise Monkeys” are more critical than ever. In a space filled with innovation and hype, $MONKY reinterprets these ancient principles to align with the core tenets of Web3:

  • Resisting misinformation (Reject FUD);
  • Critical thinking (Avoid blind acceptance of rumors);
  • Responsible communication (Steer clear of malicious hype).

With these values as its foundation, $MONKY is building a community based on trust, collaboration, and sustainability, positioning itself as a beacon of wisdom and stability in the ever-changing world of Web3.

Gate.io’s Compensation Plan for Wise Monkey(MONKY) Trading Discrepancy

After the listing of MONKY for trading, we observed abnormal trading activity, which caused irregular price fluctuations within the first 8 minutes. We immediately reached out to the project team, who responded promptly and discussed solutions with us. We finally decided to provide compensation for users who made purchases between 10:00 and 10:08 (UTC) on December 12, 2024. The details of the compensation are as follows:

    Compensation Calculation: (USDT spent for purchase - USDT obtained from sale) / 0.00002 USDT = Amount of MONKY to be compensated. If the user has not yet sold the purchased MONKY, the amount of USDT obtained from the sale will be calculated as: (Amount of MONKY purchased - Amount of MONKY sold) * 0.00002 USDT.
  2. Application Process:
