Latest KILLABEARS News
A Killabear and Killabit pair, both with matching gold fur and gold eyes, was sold to MetaWin today for 29 ETH (~$54k USD), per a tweet from @Meta_Winners.
The Details
- KILLABEAR #3239 was purchased by MetaWin_xyz along with KILLABIT #3239, who also has matching gold fur, gold eyes, and a party hat, along with an Ice Sword.
- The seller was Killa_Cortana (@Cortana_0), whose OpenSea account (biggboi--vault.eth) still has 10 other Killabears and 39 Cubryos.
- The purchase was made at about a 10x multiple of the KILLABEARS floor (2.71 ETH).
❗ Why It Matters
This pair of golden bears will be up for grabs via MetaWin's raffle contest system soon, and it will be MetaWin's first 'Double prize' competition, with the winner walking away with the matching set.
It's the 4th highest KILLABEAR sale ever, according to OpenSea.

The KILLACUBS Cubryo Incubator is now live, allowing users to evolve and customize their Cubryos through eight incubation phases.
The Deets:
- 8 incubation phases (1 week per phase) for Cubryos
- Cubryos can be customized with base traits and KILLATRAITS
- Cubryos' evolution halts if removed from the Incubator
- Optional BIT-BOOST for a larger base trait pool
- KILLAGEAR can be transformed into KILLACUB traits
The Details
The Cubryo Incubator launched, allowing users to stake and evolve their Cubryos through eight incubation phases. Each phase lasts a week, and once a Cubryo reaches Phase 8, users can "lock in" the design or customize it using traits from the Base Trait Pool and KILLATRAITS collection.
Users can remove their Cubryos from the Incubator at any time, but doing so will halt the creature's evolution. Upon re-staking, the Cubryo will continue evolving from the phase where it stopped. During the first phase of incubation, users can choose to pair a KILLABIT with their staked Cubryo for a larger base trait pool and a higher chance of getting rarer traits.
❗️Why It Matters
The Cubryo Incubator launch marks the start of the journey to KILLACUBS, the companion to KILLABEARS NFTs. Interestingly, KILLABEARS has rolled out an approach similar to that of Yuga Labs' Trial of Jimmy The Monkey, which unfolded phase by phase, encouraging continued awareness and participation by holders throughout a multi-week journey.
🎬 Take Action
Incubate your Cubryos now by visiting cubs.killabears.com and stake them in the Incubator to begin their evolution journey.
KILLABEARS will deploy two new contracts and airdrop new Killacubs because of reports of an issue with wallet-to-wallet transfers, per a tweet from the project, which includes a video message from @drf0m0.
❗ Why It Matters
For each Killacub you own, you will get a new version with the new contract. But nothing else needs to be done at this time.
The Details
- The project has had some reports of an error with wallet-to-wallet transfers of Killacubs.
- In order to fix this issue, two new contracts will be deployed tonight.
- Holders will be airdropped new Killacubs on a 1:1 basis, based on how many are owned at the time of the airdrop. This includes staked Cubryos, and you will not need to re-stake or pay any gas fees whatsoever.
- Metadata for the current Killacubs and Killacubs Incubation collections will change to ensure all holders are aware of what's happening.
🔜 What’s Next?
Killabears will make an announcement approximately 90 minutes before the airdrop happens.

The KILLACUBS NFT mint event is set to begin on April 20, with three mint windows, offering multiple opportunities to secure the KILLABEARS companions.
The Deets
- Three mint windows: Allowlist, Killaverse Holders, and Public
- One free cubryo for each KILLABEAR or Mint Pass owned
- 8,888 KillaCubs available at 0.25 ETH each
- Top 2,000 on the KILLASCORE leaderboard earn allowlist.
The Details
The highly anticipated KILLACUBS NFT mint event is almost here, with three mint windows planned. The first window, from 5- 8:00 p.m. ET, is reserved for the Allowlist. The second window, from 8-9:00 p.m. ET, is open to all Killaverse holders. Finally, the third window starts at 9:00 p.m. ET and is open to the public if supplies last.
KILLABEAR owners and those with a KILLACUBS Mint Pass will have an advantage, as they will be able to mint one free cubryo each. Additionally, KILLABEAR holders are not required to mint within a certain timeframe and can do so without expiration.
A total of 8,888 KillaCubs will be up for grabs, priced at 0.25 ETH each. To stand a chance at getting in the top 2000 on the KillaScore leaderboard, users must hold KillaChronicles. Full details can be found here.
After mint, KILLACUBS will need to be evolved through eight stages of incubation before it becomes a full KILLACUB.
❗️Why It Matters
KILLABEARS has been teasing the KILLACUBS mint for quite some time, and it will finally come to fruition later this week, offering a new entry point to the Killaverse and the KILLACUBS ecosystem. While many projects have been unable to capture positive momentum or sentiment, KILLABEARS has seemingly found its demographic, which has stood up strongly to the unrest seen throughout the rest of the NFT market. It's not uncommon for projects to experience a floor price decrease after a long-anticipated event is finally set in motion, so we'll see if the execution risk or lack of anticipation can help put a dent in this otherwise steady chart.

The Killacubs are minting on April 20th, per an announcement today from KILLABEARS.
❗ Why It Matters
The original collection of 3,333 Killabears has experienced strong success, with a healthy floor price of 3 ETH. The project has managed to maintain a strong ecosystem centered around staking, Killabits (the first companion collection), KillaGear, and even an open edition. And now the Killacubs workshop is opening its doors.
Killacubs will become a part of the storyline and will be used to unlock additional benefits within the Killaverse ecosystem.
The Deets
- The mint date is April 20, and the mint price will be 0.25 ETH.
- After being minted, Cubryos will evolve through eight phases of incubation on their way to becoming full-grown Killacubs.
- Full-grown Killacubs include randomized base traits but can be redesigned and customized using KillaTraits.
- KillaTraits are the tokenized traits for Killacubs and can be bought, sold, and traded via the official collection.
- Total supply of 8,888 Killacubs:
- 3,333 will be reserved for KILLABEAR holders, who can mint one cubryo for free for every KILLABEAR that they own.
- 333 will be reserved for owners of KILLAPASSES (floor price of 0.55 ETH).
- 2,748 will be reserved for an allowlist, for those that get in the top 2,000 on the KillaScore leaderboard (more details in this tweet 🧵).
- And after hearing feedback from the community, there will be a mint round for all Killaverse holders immediately following the AllowList period for Killacubs. If there are any cubs left after that, the mint will then be opened up to the public.

2 copies of The Killa Chronicles Volume 2: The Sacrifice can be burned for 1 copy of Volume 3 next Friday, Feb 24th, according to a tweet today from the project.
❗ Why It Matters
Holders of Volume 1: The Hunt were able to burn 2 copies for 1 copy of Volume 2 two days ago, and a similar 2:1 swap dynamic is in play for the burn next week.
📊 By the Numbers
36,568 copies of Volume 1 were burned according to the graphic on the website, which means there are 18,284 copies of Volume 2 in circulation. Thus a maximum of 9,142 copies of Volume 3 can exist.
At the time of writing, the floor price for Volume 1 sits at 0.05 ETH, and Volume 2 sits at 0.069 ETH. Interestingly, that means those that didn't hold numerous copies from the mint of Volume 1 (0.02 ETH price) would actually be better off just buying Volume 2 on the secondary, if they are planning to burn for Volume 3.
🎬 Take Action
Holders of Volume 2: The Sacrifice can burn two copies at memo.killabears.com next Friday, Feb 24th @ 4:20pm EST.
- [note: the website still has the details for The Sacrifice burn, but that will presumably be updated to The Rescue in the next week]
