Beanie Bearmanos
gm gm everyone, and happy Thursday! As I always say, it’s the best day of the week - all the promise of the weekend without a moment wasted.
We had an absolutely awesome KillaNews spaces last night, so if you missed that, I highly encourage you to check that out below. We got rugged halfway through and unfortunately didn’t record the second part as we rushed to get the show back on the road, but there’s still a great hour of content you can listen to or read the transcript👇
Today’s newsletter is a little special, however, as I wanted to highlight an absolutely awesome group of people doing some amazing things in the @killabearsnft community - the Beanie Bearmanos.
Beanie Bearmanos
So who - what? - are the Beanie Bearmanos? Well, it’s simple really - they’re a group of Killabears whose bears have the beanie trait, of course. But it’s much more than that, actually - it’s an actual project in and of itself that has some of the best community members that Killabears has to offer, and that’s saying a lot. I’ll let one of their members, @macstradamous, explain what it’s all about:
Welcome to Beanie Bearmanos! We're a brand deeply rooted in the Killabears community, inspired by the Yellow Beanie trait. We noticed a beautiful thread of goodness and positivity weaving through the community, and we knew we had to bring that to life. Thus, Beanie Bearmanos was born, a brand designed to mirror the essence of the community that inspired it.
Although we're not an officially licensed gear provider for Killabears, we are a proud part of the KB family. Our mission is to add value to the subtrait community by telling captivating stories, offering support to one another, and fostering an environment of camaraderie and love.
Our website is the hub of Beanie Bearmanos digital marketing, showcasing our activities, merchandise, and the vibrant spirit of our community. We're excited to share our passion for the Killaverse ecosystem with you through our unique products and immersive storytelling.
As a brand dedicated to giving back, we allocate our proceeds to feed the BeanieBearmanos.eth multi-signature wallet. This wallet, brimming with proceeds, is used to acquire assets from the Killaverse ecosystem, which we then redistribute to our loyal holders. In this way, we ensure that our community thrives while we continue to spread the positivity that brought us all together in the first place.
Join the Beanie Bearmanos family, and experience the magic of a community that supports, inspires, and uplifts one another. Together, we'll make the world a brighter place, one beanie at a time!
Brand New
Just recently, they officially launched their new Branding Kit - the intentions are to allow them to have their own distinct identity that is separate, but not disconnected, from Killabears, in the words of @scootermcscoob.
For lack of a better term, it’s an incredible “sub-community” borne from friends in the Killabears ecosystem. Their goal is to support the Killabears ecosystem while offering awesome opportunities, activities, events, and rewards to people within their community. Awesomely, the Killabears team has been hugely supportive of this as well.
They also have their own website and merch, which you can check out below:
However, keep in mind that since they have just rebranded, the OG Beanie will no longer be available as it currently exists after March 31st (tomorrow!)
If you have a beanie (OG or Bit), make sure to join their discord here!
They also recently used the proceeds from their beanie sales to buy more Open Editions off of the open market for their community - check out this thread here:

If you’re looking for a general breakdown of the entire Killabears ecosystem, well, look no further. Here’s the infographic that you should be sharing with your friends going forward! Huge shoutout to @designedbyallen, @winkthecreator, and @eyedefi!
That’s it for today - I hope you have a great Thursday!
