what's Bears & Salmon?
Bears & Salmon is a token project on the Avalanche blockchain, launched through TheArena platform. It combines meme coin appeal with utility as a launchpad and incubator, focusing on funding and supporting game development directly on the TheArena app store. Community members stake $BANDS tokens to participate in governance, voting on projects submitted during application phases like the Bear Den. This structure incentivizes long-term holding and ecosystem growth by spotlighting and backing emerging Avalanche-based initiatives.
Bears & Salmon partnered with Baglords & Bandits; 96% of presale sold within 48 hours.
