When I customized my Linux Mint neofetch display with an ASCII HMNKY I created, inspired by my favorite Hedera Monkey NFT. I never expected it would spark a whole new community project. But that’s exactly what happened when I shared my creation with the HMNKY community.
The enthusiasm was immediate and encouraging. What started out as fun customization of my terminal quickly evolved into something bigger: fellow HMNKY holders wanted their own ASCII HMNKY. This organic response from the community inspired me to create something special – the ASCII HMNKY Collection.
The Collection
The ASCII HMNKY Collection is created by the community, for the community. Another way to show your support and excitement for the Hedera Monkey community, and the Hedera Network, while adding a unique retro-computing twist. Each NFT comes with both a PNG visualization and the actual ASCII text file.

Current Status
I’m in the creative phase, bringing each variant to life through careful ASCII conversion work. The project is pending final approval from SentX, and I’m excited to share progress updates as we move forward.
This project represents the spirit of the Hedera Monkey community – where a simple shared moment can spark something special. It’s been incredible to see how fellow HMNKY holders have embraced this idea and helped shape it into a meaningful community collection. This isn’t just about ASCII art or NFTs – it’s about creating another fun way for our community to come together, show their HMNKY pride, and continue building the amazing culture we all love.
Stay tuned for updates on the launch and minting details!
