Ecosystem Spotlight: The Loonies—Ditching Limits
Launched during the early days of the Aptos mainnet, The Loonies emerged as one of the first NFT collections to bring community energy, artistic vision and builder momentum to the Aptos ecosystem.
At a time when the NFT landscape was still taking shape, The Loonies leaned into the opportunity—dropping a full collection and building steadily from the ground up.
But that’s The Loonies for you. Their motto, “Ditch Limits,” isn’t just a phrase — it’s how they’ve been showing up since day -0 on Aptos.
A Bold Identity
The Loonies is a 2,222-piece PFP collection living on the Aptos blockchain.
Each character—male or female—is packed with unique traits inspired by everything from celestial beings and pop culture icons to legendary scientists.
But The Loonies collection is more than just art. The Loonies reflect the spirit of its community—a wild mix of founders, creators, builders and believers who dare to ditch limits and build something different.
Origin of The Loonies
The Loonies were brought to life by Mokshya Protocol, an Aptos-native (and now multichain) framework development company known for constantly cooking up new ideas behind the scenes.
But the team didn’t stop there.
They also built Wapal—the leading NFT marketplace on Aptos—and Alura, an AI-powered trading agent that blends predictive analytics with on-chain execution built for the future of DeFi and Web3 finance.
Fast forward to The Loonies, which were first revealed to the public in April 2024 by Mokshya’s co-founder @nrepesh. He shared that The Loonies are inspired by all kinds of “craziness” — a reminder that thinking differently, staying determined and breaking norms can lead to real change. For example, each Loonie embodies:
Challenges to societal boundaries
Personas of relentless passion, like Steve Jobs or Gandhi
Ambassadors who stretch the limits of human potential, like Kai Lenny or David Blaine
The team worked tirelessly to build momentum for the mint which went live on Wapal’s launchpad on June 13.
Together, these products reflect the team’s broader vision to support innovation across NFTs, DeFi and user tools on Aptos and beyond.
Ecosystem Growth & Engagement
The Loonies bring a unique, quirky, comic book vibe that stands out in any PFP lineup. More than just visuals, the Loonies’ art fuels memes, community identity and artistic appeal through strong branding and rarity.
Beyond the art, the team has also launched its community-first token, LOON, as well as Spin & Win, a playful initiative intended to reward its community which saw:
Total Spins: 399.2K+
Total Users: 17.2K+
LOON Rewards: $93.4M+
With their community-first mindset and relentless builder spirit, The Loonies are more than just a project. The team’s community-driven pioneers are helping to shape the future of the decentralized world on Aptos.
