What is Moonbirds (BIRB)?
Moonbirds (BIRB) is the ecosystem token for a collection of 10,000 pixelated owl NFTs that first launched on Ethereum in 2022. After being acquired by gaming studio Orange Cap Games in 2025, the project migrated to Solana, shifting from a pure digital art collection toward a more interactive, community-driven experience.
What role does BIRB play in the Moonbirds ecosystem?
BIRB is not a governance token—it does not grant voting rights or claims on project revenue. Issued natively on Solana, it benefits from fast and low-cost transactions, designed to fuel community engagement through a playful culture the project calls 'birbish.'
Holders of Moonbirds and Mythics NFTs can accumulate reward points known as Talons simply by keeping them. This mechanism encourages long-term participation and lays groundwork for future game integrations and brand partnerships, with BIRB acting as the connective layer for these on-chain interactions.
What makes the Moonbirds collection distinct?
The original 10,000-piece collection is fully on-chain, meaning the pixel art is rendered directly from Ethereum smart contracts. Owners can toggle between the pixelated version and an illustrated style, which includes personal and commercial usage rights. Artist collaborations also provide unique, customizable backgrounds.
The ecosystem later expanded with Moonbirds Mythics, a new generation of bird characters. Under Orange Cap Games, these assets combined with the BIRB token go beyond static profile pictures, enabling real-time, on-chain experiences that were once impractical on Ethereum.
