# XRP Dudes&#x20;

Hello dudes, Coin here. The Dudes... The Dudes is a part of my development as a person. Since I was a little guy I always dream of having a group of dope frens to share stories and adventures. Little did I know that those adventures were gonna be built on top of the XRPL technology, in the virtual world or as I'd like to call it "the future". Since the beginning of my journey, I've had the opportunity to learn about the culture and the community of different chains. I always had that feeling inside of me, that I wanted to build and start the journey of my life's project. After many, many, many brainstorming and visualization sessions about my life's project and my goals in crypto, it always starts with The Dudes. "The Dudes" is the GENESIS, the seed of Miyamoto's journey, the OG dudes, the pioneers of the ecosystem. Wherever Miyamoto goes, The Dudes will always be involved.

The XRP Dudes Ecosystem went live with the launch of the XRP Dudes Genesis Banners, 111 banners with a dimension of 1500px x 500px minted for free for the OG Dudes and Pre-Sale Whitelisted. These banners were designated for X (formerly Twitter) header dimensions. There are two types of banners, Shelf, and ID.&#x20;

Each banner shows the PFP and The Dude serial number. These banners give you access to the holder's Discord and the banners portal where Monthly Lootboxes will be delivered to your Dude's ID. These Lootboxes can contain Banners, PFPs, Wallpapers, Stickers, Comics, and many more surprises
