The Giraffes. The tokens. The people who gave them a story.
From the early creator-coin days to Giraffes lighting up Times Square, these are pieces of a journey we’ve lived together. Here’s where they came from, where they stand today, and how to collect a piece if it speaks to you.
ORIGINAL ART. INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY. SHARED HISTORY.
01 / THE COLLECTIBLE AT THE HEART OF IT
Meet Giraffe. Stand a little taller.
A familiar silhouette. A personality all its own. A Giraffe you recognize as yours.
Giraffe Tower began in 2021 with illustrated characters, a creator community and a willingness to try something new. The collection started on Ethereum; its current home is Solana. Over time, those faces became profile pictures, conversation starters and a shared thread between people around the world.
There were experiments along the way: events, games, community tools and, for a chapter, token-linked membership. The story changed as we learned and built. The art is still here, and so are the people who connected through it.
WHERE GIRAFFE STANDS TODAY
Giraffe is a separate collectible project. It no longer represents Gary Club membership or unlocks club benefits. Its next chapter is with the Giraffe community, in collaboration with Dunk.
A new community website is planned at Giraffe.club, with the Giraffe Tower NFT X account also moving to community management.

FROM THE ARCHIVE / NEW YORK CITY
Yes, those are our Giraffes. In Times Square.
Five years ago, the Giraffes looked out over one of the busiest corners of the world.
The artwork on the screens. “We love the Giraffes” above it. A moment from the early days, when something we were building together showed up bigger than life.
Gary shared this photo again on October 22, 2026, looking back five years. It belongs here because a collection’s story is also the places it went and the memories people kept.
For the people who were there, and anyone curious about how we got here.
THE CREATOR COIN
$GARY
A community experiment, from the beginning.
$GARY’s story reaches back to the creator-coin era on Rally in 2021. It was part of Gary’s exploration of how creators and the people around them could build something together, with a token woven into community life.
Later, on Solana, $GARY became part of the Gary Club ecosystem: community rewards, participation and experiments with token-powered tools. Those programs belong to its history.
TODAY
Today, $GARY remains a Solana token. Gary Club utility has ended. You can hold it as a piece of that journey, without membership, access or rewards attached.
$GIRAFFISH brought the personality of the Giraffe world into a Solana token. It became part of the community’s games, celebrations, holder milestones and collectible moments.
That chapter included STRETCH, Longneck Luck and Giraffish Moments. The games and token-based programs have ended; the memories and collectibles are part of the story.
TODAY
Today, $GIRAFFISH remains a Solana token with no Gary Club utility. Being Giraffish is still a philosophy you can live every day, whether you hold the token or not.
A character you love. A chapter you remember. Collecting is entirely your choice.
01
Start with your own wallet.
Use a Solana wallet you control. If you previously used a Gary Club wallet, create a new wallet with a new private key. Gary Club’s former custodial wallets are for withdrawals only.
02
Choose your collectible.
Browse the Giraffe Tower collection on Magic Eden. For $GARY or $GIRAFFISH, use the Jupiter links above, which identify each token by its full Solana address. Availability depends on current listings or swap routes.
03
Check, then make it yours.
Confirm the collection or token address, review what your wallet asks you to approve, and keep a little SOL for network fees. Your collectible goes to your own wallet.
Giraffe, $GARY and $GIRAFFISH no longer unlock Gary Club membership, access, perks, rewards or discounts. Buying, swapping and minting inside Gary Club have closed. The links here take you to independent services; they do not create any new club benefit or future entitlement.
Still have assets in a Gary Club wallet? Those wallet keys were compromised. Move assets to a newly created wallet with a new key, and never send new assets to the old wallet. The current token notice explains the exit process and November 15, 2026 service end date.
