CyberKongz has the $KONG TGE event on September 10, 2025, replacing $BANANA as the ecosystem's main currency and fuel.

CyberKongz is officially set to launch its new token, $KONG, on September 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM UTC. This highly anticipated Token Generation Event (TGE) replaces the previous $BANANA token with a stronger, more liquid, and community-focused alternative.
Starting at launch, $BANANA holders can convert their tokens to $KONG directly on the CyberKongz website. Later that day, by 9:00 PM UTC, users can also claim their airdropped $KONG allocations. While centralized exchange listings are expected soon, the team has not yet revealed the exact partners.
To kick off the ecosystem, CyberKongz: Evolution, a major post-launch event, will take place approximately two weeks after the TGE.
$KONG will be deployed solely on Ethereum, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. At TGE, the initial circulating supply will be 282 million tokens—primarily from converted $BANANA.
The breakdown looks like this:
More than 70% of the total supply supports the community, either directly or via rewards. There’s no presale, no holder dilution, and no VCs offloading. Instead, the team will determine seasons, and rewards will be linked to active participation, especially through staking and holding.
CyberKongz designed $KONG as a direct upgrade to $BANANA. Each $BANANA converts at a 1:25 ratio across all chains. However, only the claimed and circulating supply counts toward conversion.
The $BANANA yield ended on August 18, and a snapshot was taken that day. From TGE, users have three months to claim their yield as $KONG. After the window closes, any unclaimed tokens will be burned, helping maintain $KONG’s scarcity.
Conversion takes place only on the official CyberKongz website.
Alongside the TGE, CyberKongz will distribute 2% of the total supply (20M $KONG) via airdrop. This airdrop rewards:
Eligible users can claim the tokens on September 10, though more claiming details will follow via official channels. Additionally, CyberKongz plans to roll out seasonal airdrops tied to staking activity and ecosystem participation.
Although $KONG doesn’t act as a governance or in-game token, it powers a DeFi-rich, community-first ecosystem.
Holding $KONG grants access to community events, raffles, and giveaways. Additionally, Wall Street Kongz (WSK), a DeFi tools hub offers premium analytics and alpha. While Genesis and Baby holders get lifetime access, others can subscribe for $150/month or $1,500/year, payable in $KONG.
Since 2021, before the TGE, CyberKongz has led NFT innovation, launching pixel art gorillas before most knew what a PFP was. It introduced token yield mechanics, inspired top-tier projects like BAYC, and built one of the most loyal communities in web3.
