(BCHAMP)

Bear Champ (BCHAMP) is the native utility and community token of "The Bear Champ" ecosystem, built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). It is inspired by the famous boxing-glove-wearing bear mural seen across cities like Chicago and Miami, created by street artist JC Rivera. The project centers on the philosophy of "Rolling with the Punches," emphasizing resilience. Unlike many anonymous projects, BCHAMP is backed by an established artist with a decade of brand history and collaborations with major names like Adidas and the Chicago Bulls.

BCHAMP can be acquired through the XRP Ledger. For a streamlined experience, users can trade BCHAMP on LBank. If using a self-custody approach, users typically set up an XRPL-compatible wallet like Xaman and must establish a "Trust Line" for the BCHAMP issuer address to enable token reception. Once the Trust Line is set, the token can be traded via supported decentralized exchanges on the XRPL or directly through centralized platforms like LBank for those preferring USDT pairs.

The BCHAMP token offers several utilities beyond simple holding. It serves as a tool for token-gating, where holding specific amounts grants exclusive access to physical merchandise such as vinyl toys, apparel, and prints. Furthermore, token holders are historically eligible for airdrops related to new collections or partner projects. The token also facilitates participation in community-centric events, raffles, and the broader "Bear Champs" digital and physical culture.

The project consists of two distinct digital assets. The BCHAMP token is a fungible utility token with a total supply of approximately 1 billion (999.9M), used for trading, liquidity, and general ecosystem participation. The Bear Champ NFTs are unique digital collectibles (1-of-1s or limited editions). While both offer benefits, holding a Bear Champ NFT often provides higher-tier membership status, such as direct access to JC Rivera’s fine art releases, compared to holding the fungible token alone.

The project is led by JC Rivera, the lead artist and public face of the brand. Rivera is a "doxxed" creator, meaning his identity and professional history are public, which provides a higher level of trust than typical anonymous Web3 projects. He works alongside professional collaborators and agencies such as Flourish & Prosper and B le V Creative to manage the project's technical and creative growth across the physical and digital landscapes.

To ensure security and avoid fraudulent tokens, users must verify the official Issuer Address on the XRP Ledger. The official address for BCHAMP is r4qHM7vWeLTtWPVoEzDjT6AskpQjSmui7B. This address can be cross-referenced on official XRPL explorers and tracking sites. Verifying this address is a vital step for any user manually setting a Trust Line in their wallet to ensure they are interacting with the legitimate JC Rivera ecosystem.
