The doodles nft

The floor price for Doodles, the NFT project, has jumped thanks to a rare mix of management chops, community input and its clever artwork.

It’s a mysterious mix of factors that push an NFT project toward a double digit ETH floor price.

Doodles is the latest NFT project to do so, crossing the mark on Jan. 8, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard. The project’s floor now sits at 11 ETH, over $35,000, as of Jan. 11.

Doodles also had its first seven-figure sale last week — Pranksy, an NFT investor and influencer, bought Doodle 6914 for 296.69 ETH on Jan. 4. Pranksy has generally been on a Doodle-buying spree with his wallet showing over 70 Doodles as of Jan. 11.

What’s driving Doodles’ growth? There are more than 30,000 ERC-721 standards for NFTs, or token contracts on Ethereum, according to Etherscan. What makes one stand out?

Mushy, a project manager at Doodles, gave The Defiant four primary reasons for the NFT project’s differentiation. First, inclusive art: with their pastel color palette, Doodles playfully represent a diverse group, some with rainbow hair, others with notes on their face.

The second reason: the Doodlebank, a community-owned treasury and proposal system governed by holders of the project’s NFTs. And third: the team, with the co-founders drawing on experience from Dapper Labs, a company responsible for NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties, which was the first project to use the ERC-721 standard back in 2017.

The mix of factors appears to be working. Doodlebank has pushed out two community-initiated proposals since the Oct. 17 launch. Noodles, is Doodles’ only approved profile picture (pfp) project. Doodles’ governance approved Noodles on Snapshot with sales from the NFTs generating 48.9 ETH, over $158,000 as of Jan. 11, for the Doodlebank treasury.

The second community-approved proposal is Pukenza, a generative art project based on each Doodle’s colors. Pukenza was a free airdrop for Doodles’ holders and cost the treasury 4.2 ETH, according to the Snapshot proposal which finalized the project.

Doodles launched on Oct. 17 with a public sale at a .123 ETH mint price. The sale would generate 420 ETH for the community treasure, according to the project’s website.

For those looking to start NFT projects, it appears that a community-governed treasury is an option worth exploring to maintain engagement of the tokens’ holders. Doodles has produced something rare in the NFT space: a multiyear experience.

In just a few short months, Doodles has transformed into one of the most influential and beloved NFT projects in existence. The collection of colorful line-drawn characters has, quite literally, swept across the globe and ranks high on the list of top PFP (profile-picture) collections in terms of both popularity and sales volume.

What is the Doodles NFT collection?

Doodles is a collection of 10,000 generative NFTs created by Evan Keast, Scott Martin, and Jordan Castro. The team uses “working aliases” and are known as Tulip, Burnt Toast, and Poopie respectively. Before Doodles, Keast and Castro were already well-established in the NFT community, as they helped launch the legendary NFT project known as CryptoKitties in 2017. Martin, meanwhile, had been minting his own pieces and growing his creative brand within the NFT space for about a year.

Within the Doodles ecosystem live humans, cats, pickles, apes, sentient flames, skeletons, aliens, and more. As is the case with nearly all generative avatar collections, Doodles NFTs come in varying degrees of rarity, which is defined by their traits. Although the Doodles team has never officially released a catalog of what traits are the rarest and most common — you can find RaritySniffer’s unofficial rankings here — skeletons, cats, aliens, apes, and mascots have continued to resell for the highest amounts.

Keast, Castro, and Martin launched Doodles on October 17, 2021, originally pricing their product at 0.123 ETH per mint. At the time, the mint price was considered relatively high. Prior to Doodles, most PFP projects implemented mint prices below 0.1 ETH; however, the Doodles founding team decided on this higher price point to ensure an initial treasury of ~420 ETH.

During the rollout of the project, Doodles tried something that had seemingly never been executed by a PFP project previously. About a month before the project went live for minting, the Doodles team closed the Discord when membership numbers had reached just over 1,000. This made it so that no new members could join, creating an extra level of exclusivity within the project’s community.

Building a community for Doodles NFTs

our goal is to make a product that’s sticky.

The entire Doodles ecosystem is basically one DAO, and each and every Doodles owner has a say in what that DAO does. Early on, Keast laid out how the DoodleDAO treasury would work, stating that 1 Doodle = 1 Vote towards any and all decisions regarding the DoodleBank.

So far, Doodles members have been able to vote on proposals for Doodles team scaling, Doodles live events, funding a 3D Doodles project, and much more. The Doodles Forum and Doodles Discord allow an extra level of discourse to take place for each proposal.

While proposals have become less frequent as the project has matured, initiatives have become much more paramount to the future and overall success of Doodles as a brand. This is likely due to the project’s leadership, which has seemingly continued to set a viewfinder for the horizon.

Anti Scam/Pro-Artist

As one of the most popular projects on the market, Doodles quickly became the inspiration for numerous derivative and knockoff projects. Keast and the Doodles team seemingly anticipated this issue, as they had already implemented a sort of derivative approval system within their Discord. Developers were incentivized to submit official proposals to create projects that take inspiration from the main Doodles collection. Numerous projects proposed within the Doodles community have been put to a vote, with collections like Noodles and Pukenza coming as a direct result of the 1 Doodle = 1 Vote system.

A scam alert channel was also implemented in the Doodles server, promoting a sort of “see something, say something” mentality. A large volume of fraudulent accounts and projects have been reported there to date, and it seems the channel has helped mitigate a number of unapproved Doodles knockoffs and potential scams.

To the moon

Although the Doodles floor price remained somewhere between 1-5 ETH for months after launch, things started to really pick up towards the end of 2021. Around this time, Keast and the rest of the Doodles crew began to release short animations teasing something new on the horizon. This led to a spike in secondary sales and some of the largest Doodles sales to date.

Yet, while a quick uptick in purchases and trades (a “pump”) is typically experienced when a project makes a major announcement (i.e., Nike acquiring RTFKT) or rolls out a collectors reward, Doodles’ managed to keep the momentum going even a month after making their announcement. The announcement? Space Doodles.

While we’ve seen the launch of Cool Pets, Bored Ape Kennel Club, KingFrogs, and more help popular projects capitalize on demand and further expand their collector base, Space Doodles works directly with the original collection of 10,000 NFTs.

Doodles as an entertainment platform

Twice now, Doodles has created immersive in-person experiences coinciding with annual NFT events. First, in December 2021, the Doodles team partnered with The Heart Project to put on a large-scale event during Art Basel Miami. Heart Basel Miami, as they called it, gave the NFT community its first glimpse into what to expect from Doodles as an entertainment company. The event — which, according to the expenditure proposal, was planned and executed within a very short amount of time — featured a gallery, exclusive merch, live music performances, and more.

The event was an apparent success, with Keast even mentioning shortly after the event that several prominent talent reps have taken an interest in Doodles. It seems events aren’t the only thing that the Doodles crew has in the works though. As revealed during an interview with HYPEBEAST, the founders ultimately aim to “bridge web3 and the real world and connect NFT enthusiasts through community initiatives such as installations, concert merchandise, and more.”

The second event, dubbed the Doodles Genesis Factory, launched in June 2022 alongside NFT.NYC. The activation further helped communicate Doodles’ desire to show up and show out, providing a stage for the unveiling of many upcoming Doodles initiatives, including Doodles’ first fundraise, Doodles 2, Doodles Records, and more.

The future of Doodles

Considering the young age of the Doodles project, it’s incredible to see the growth and accomplishments achieved by this project and its three founders. Currently, the collection has amassed around 141,000 ETH in secondaries. While Doodles still has quite a ways to go before they’re seen as a true contender for the PFP NFT crown currently held by the Bored Ape Yacht Club — which has generated upwards of 629,000 ETH to date — the collection of vibrant characters has undoubtedly won the hearts of countless NFT enthusiasts.

What’s more, the Doodles project is showing no signs of slowing down, even as crypto prices continue to fluctuate greatly since its conception. From live, immersive events to unique, innovative project development, the company has onboarded a range of talent to the team, including former President of Billboard Julian Holguin as CEO and none other than Pharrell Williams as Chief Branding Officer.

And as the Doodles Web3 entertainment company continues to grow, so too have its initiatives. Here are some of the things the Doodles community has to look forward to.

Doodles Fundraise

In summer 2022, it was announced that 776 Management, a venture capital firm created by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, would lead the first round of funding for Doodles. Although the amount of financing was not disclosed, the partnership inherently seemed robust as it was also announced that 776 Co-Founder Katelin Holloway would be joining the Doodles board of directors.

Doodles 2

Even beyond Space Doodles, Doodles 2 is possibly the most exciting next step in the Doodles lengthy roadmap. Yet again, Doodles seems to be foregoing the route of a companion project to launch a completely unique new initiative that is aimed at onboarding more enthusiasts into the Doodles, and the greater NFT ecosystem.

Marketed as “A Doodle for Everyone,” Doodles 2 will allow new collectors to mint a base-level Doodle, choose generic traits like skin tone and hair color, then customize your Doodle with wearables that come in varying tiers of rarity. Doodles 2 are said to be dynamic NFTs where owners can change their look as often as they like, swap between a full-body or PFP perspective, and unlock an animated version of their NFT complete with original music.

Doodles 2 is also where something called the Doodles Genesis Box comes into play. Unveiled at the aforementioned Genesis Factory, this NFT box holds first-edition wearables that will seed the wearables economy of Doodles 2. This full collection of boxes features 24,000 NFTs and was launched via a unique auction format that Doodles called a Bucket Auction (more details here).

Doodles Records

Another new sector of the overarching Doodles brand that Doodles enthusiasts can look forward to is Doodles Records. While little is known about the supposed record label, Doodles Records: Volume 1 has been announced to include original music with executive production from Pharrell, hand-drawn album art from lead Doodles artist Scott Martin, and limited edition wearables for Doodles 2. The first volume comes in partnership with Columbia Records and will feature music that Doodles 2 owners will be able to layer into their new animated NFTs. It’s music and NFTs at their best.

Dooplicator

Beyond the general hype cycle of price increases and celebrities being onboarded into the Doodles community, Doodles has been known to (in some cases) leave their community hanging. This hasn’t necessarily been a bad thing, as while the wider NFT community has become accustomed to biweekly teasers and announcements, it seems that the Doodles team is more than happy to keep quiet until they have something to say.

Sentiment aside though, it’s clear Doodles is planning to take their community on a wild ride over the next few years. With millions of dollars in capital sitting in the Doodle bank and a major fundraise set to kick off, the Doodles team has made their initial treasury holding — which was worth over $1.5 million at the time of the project’s launch — back many times over.

Editor’s Note: At the time of publication, members of the nft now staff were holders of Doodles NFTs.

За 2021 год появлялось множество NFT-коллекций, которые стали конкурировать на рынке блокчейна. Поэтому авторы начали искать способы выделиться и привлечь внимание к своему проекту.

Они стали создавать не просто коллекции с цифровыми изображениями на блокчейне, а развивать экосистему вокруг своих NFT. Также авторы дали сообществу право управлять этими проектами с помощью токенов. В материале разбираем NFT-коллекции, которые стали популярными в конце 2021 года.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) — NFT-коллекция со «скучающими обезьянами из яхт-клуба»

Коллекция Bored Ape Yacht Club стала одной из самых популярных на рынке NFT. В нее вошло больше 10 тыс. цифровых артов со «скучающими обезьянами из яхт-клуба». Коллекция вышла в апреле 2021 года и каждый токен стоил 0,08 ETH. Ко второй половине года почти все NFT были распроданы и теперь их можно купить только на вторичном рынке. Но 30 обезьян из коллекции не отправлялись на продажу. Разработчики оставили их для розыгрышей, вознаграждений за головоломки и для членства самих создателей BAYC.

Самые дорогие NFT из коллекции Bored Ape Yacht Club

Все NFT генерировались программой, в которую авторы добавили 170 возможных черт, в число которых входят выражение лица, головной убор, одежда, аксессуары и цвет шерсти. Эта коллекция отличается от остальных тем, что все владельцы NFT-обезьян получают право пожизненного доступа в секретный клуб сообщества DAO.

С помощью токена BAYC можно участвовать в розыгрышах и конкурсах, которые регулярно устраивают авторы. Например, после завершения 80% продаж участники клуба могли разгадать таинственную записку — Mysterious Note. Первый, кто разгадал надпись, получил в качестве приза 5 ETH и NFT из коллекции.

Разработчики не только устраивают конкурсы, но и выпускают дополнительные коллекции, которые связаны с BAYC. Все владельцы скучающих обезьян могут бесплатно получить NFT из других наборов — они платят только комиссию за транзакцию.

Одну из этих коллекций посвятили мутантам — Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC). Владельцы оригинальных токенов BAYC получили на свои адреса NFT с сыворотками (Serum). Всего их было 3 типа: M1, M2, M3 и они раздавались между пользователями случайным образом. Эти сыворотки отличались по своим свойствам: M1 и M2 создавали новую обезьяну-мутанта с теми же атрибутами, что и у оригинальной. А сыворотка M3 генерировала обезьяну-мутанта с новыми, более редкими атрибутами. Все NFT из этой коллекции создавались как дополнение к оригинальным токенам, а торговый объем этого набора составил $287 млн.

Второй дополнительной коллекцией стала Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) или «клуб собаководства скучающей обезьяны». Владельцы оригинальных BAYC также могут бесплатно создавать эти NFT. А в течение первых шести недель создатели перечисляли 2,5% от каждой продажи токенов в приюты для животных.

Для тех, кто хочет узнать о CryproPunks — первой NFT-коллекции. В материале рассказываем о причинах ее популярности и о том, как она повлияла на цифровое искусство.

Хотя технически BAYC и похожи на CryptoPunks, они также привлекают пользователей своей историей и атмосферой. Авторы коллекции создали вокруг нее целую тематическую вселенную. Одной из ее частей стала небольшая 2D-игра Mutant Ape Arcade, которая была выпущена вместе с коллекцией MAYC. Также авторы открыли интернет-магазин с лицензированными вещами. В нем представлены ограниченные коллекции одежды с логотипом Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Cool Cats NFT — NFT-коллекция с «крутыми кошками»

Коллекция из 9999 случайно сгенерированных и стилистически обработанных NFT на блокчейне Ethereum. «Крутые кошки» были выпущены в продажу в июле 2021. Начальная цена для выпуска NFT составила 0,06 ETH, но было куплено всего 360 кошек. Поэтому команда создателей решила снизить стоимость до 0,02 ETH. А позже они вернули разницу в цене — 0,04 ETH — первым 360-ти покупателям.

Через несколько часов после снижения цены вся коллекция была распродана. Общий объем продаж Cool Cats NFT составил $12,77 млн.

Команда авторов планирует создать интерактивную экосистему, которая будет постоянно расширяться и подогреваться различными розыгрышами. Все пользователи становятся участниками сообщества DAO и получают право голоса, с помощью которого они смогут участвовать в развитии проекта.

В январе 2022 года владельцы Cool Cats NFT уже поучаствовали в эксклюзивных мероприятиях и благотворительных акциях. Например, с 29 октября по 5 ноября 2021 года проводился конкурс с костюмированной вечеринкой. Владельцы токенов могли нарядить себя, своего питомца или «крутую кошку» для Хэллоуина и оставить заявку на участие. А после конкурса всем участникам раздавались NFT из коллекции. Информация обо всех событиях публикуется на официальном сайте и твиттере Cool Cats NFT.

Разработчики планируют внедрить систему разведения, схожую с CryptoKitties. Владельцы этих NFT могут соединить двух кошек и получить токен следующего поколения, который унаследует черты «родителей».

Самые дорогие NFT из коллекции Cool Cats NFT

Все кошки распределены на 8 групп по своим характеристикам и несут в себе определенное количество очков. Это дополнительный параметр, который дает преимущество владельцу NFT при участии в розыгрышах и голосовании. Самыми дорогими в коллекции стали «крутые кошки» с самыми редкими атрибутами, например зомби-кошка.

Doodles — NFT-коллекция с «каракулями» от художника Burnt Toast

Коллекция Doodles — это NFT проект, который управляется его сообществом и состоит из 10 000 изображений ехудожника Burnt Toast. Каждый токен с «каракулей» сгенерирован из 100 возможных черт, в число которых входят форма лица, волосы, шляпы, тело и фон.

Проект Doodles представляет собой DAO, для членства в котором необходимо купить NFT. Их владельцы получают не только цифровой арт, но и право голоса для управления проектом. Все участники DAO могут коллективно решать, на что расходуются средства из казначейства сообщества.

Продажи Doodles стартовали 17 октября. Начальная цена токенов составляла 0,123 ETH. А за первую неделю продаж их стоимость на вторичном рынке выросла в 15 раз. После окончания продаж всех токенов авторы проекта перевели в казну сообщества 420 ETH. Средняя стоимость Doodles на январь 2022 года составляет 10 ETH.

За первую неделю января 2022 года были совершены несколько сделок на вторичном рынке с покупкой самых дорогих NFT из этой коллекции. А пользователь под ником Pranksy купил редкую золотую обезьяну Doodle всего через 40 минут после начала продаж. В его коллекции из 30 тыс. NFT есть уже есть 71 Doodle.

Заключение

Самыми популярными NFT-коллекциями в конце 2021 года стали проекты, которые развивают собственные экосистемы. Они постоянно занимаются развитием сообщества и подогревают интерес пользователей. К перспективным проектам 2022 года относятся:

Summary

What Is Doodles NFT?

The Doodles NFT collection, launched in October 2021, consists of 10,000 unique, rainbow-hued NFTs designed by artist Scott Martin (alias Burnt Toast). Like other NFT collections such as CryptoPunks and Bored Apes, Doodle NFTs are made up of hundreds of visual traits that are mixed and matched to create one-of-a-kind designs.

The various characters and components of a Doodles NFT include hand-drawn skeletons, cats, apes, mascots, and others, as well as rare costumes, heads, and other accessories.

In addition, Doodles NFT owners can purchase additional features and experiences, such as Doodle spacecraft NFTs, making the Doodle universe an ever-expanding and ever creative place for its community.

Through its Doodle decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Doodles also empowers its community by allowing Doodle NFT holders to vote on community-driven features and events.

The Doodles team states that the project was birthed to “bring joy to everyone who sees them,” and it has achieved this in more ways than one. Since it launched, the collection has generated $528 million worth of secondary sales to date, based on data from NFT aggregator CryptoSlam. The entire Doodles brand is currently valued at $704 million, after a recent funding round (see below section.)

“Our vision at Doodles is to be one of the world’s leading producers of media and entertainment,” the team said in a June 2022 tweet. “We’re building an ecosystem rich in diversity and utility.”

The brand has since expanded beyond the initial 10,000 NFTs and has released a new NFT collection called Doodles 2.

4 Reasons To Put Doodles NFT On Your Watchlist

As the industry evolves and matures, those in the NFT space are starting to realise that success means striking a delicate balance between growth and community–grow too fast and you’ll bump up your revenue in the short term but dilute your brand and cause your early investors to dump your assets, causing price to fall.

Here are some compelling reasons to keep an eye on it if you’re shopping around for NFTs to invest in during this buy season:

How Much Is a Doodle NFT?

Doodles NFT mint price started at 0.123 ETH ($300 at the time), as opposed to the more usual 0.1 ETH for these types of projects. This does not seem very “community-first” initially, but it was a smart move that resulted in a growth treasury of 420 ETH to power future developments. Decision-making on how to use this treasury is controlled by the founders and collectors, with the latter having one vote per Doodle NFT owned.

This in turn led to an increase in the Doodles NFT price, which quickly took it from newcomer to market leader.

The Doodles NFT price started low at an average of 1.26 ETH per Doodle NFT. That figure stayed around 1-5 ETH for months but then rapidly rose with the implementation of new projects and announcements.

One project to make real ripples was Doodles Space NFTs, which allows collectors to have their Doodles fly around in an audiovisual-enriched space realm until their “bladder capacity” ran out. By the beginning of 2022, a Doodle NFT was going for 20.70 ETH, translating into approximately $60K at the time.

The Doodles NFT price hit its highest point in July 2022, when the NFTs were selling for an average of 35.64 ETH. This has dropped significantly to an average sell price of 8.75 ETH today (September 2022), no doubt dragged down by the overall downtrend in crypto. However, with upcoming announcements about Doodles 2, price may soon see some positive action.

How to Buy Doodles NFT?

As with most NFTs, Doodles can be bought on OpenSea. Here, collectors can browse and buy the Doodle NFTs on offer, filtering by the desired features (background, body, hair, face, head, and others), price, currency, quantity, as well as payment method (buy now, auction, buy with card).

OpenSea will also give prospective Doodle NFT collectors information on the value of the project, the total number of Doodle NFT owners as well as previous sell prices for specific NFTs.

Conclusion

It is true that the current bear market has had a negative impact across the industry, and Doodles NFTs have not been spared. However, with Doodles 2 on the horizon and new announcements forthcoming, it may only be a matter of time before the bull rises its head once more and charges up the Doodle puke rainbow.

Launched in October 2021, the Doodles NFT collection is one of the most loved collections in the NFT industry. From humans and cats to aliens, pickles, and more, the colorful characters struck a chord with the NFT community worldwide. They boast a pastel aesthetic and a dedicated community. But What is doodles NFT? What are Space Doodles and what the hell are dooplicators? We will explain everything you need to know in this guide.

Meet the pastel project that stole everyone’s hearts

The Doodles NFT collection features 10,000 NFTs generated from hundreds of traits. Some of the traits include face, hair, head, piercing, body, and background. Besides, as with other NFT projects like BAYC or Cool Cats, Each NFT has a unique set of traits. Of these, some of the rarest traits are stellar sweater, devil cat, holographic alien, bubblegum face, bed head, and much more—all of which are available in a single quantity.

Who Created The Doodles NFT Collection?

Evan Keast, Scott Martin, and Jordan Castro launched the Doodles NFT collection on October 17. Martin – a digital artist and animator with years of experience – designed the characters in the collection. Also known as ‘Burnt Toast’, the Canadian illustrator already had several NFTs to his name. Obviously, this helped him garner a name for himself in the NFT space. Joining him,  team-members Keast and Castro – who led the OG NFT project, CryptoKitties.

Why are these NFTs so popular?

Of course,  their wealth of experience appealed to the NFT community. Roughly a month before the public mint, Doodles closed its Discord server after reaching barely 1,000 members. Although this was previously unheard of in the NFT space, the decision definitely added exclusivity to the project.

“The main focus should be on making good art and reaching a large audience,” Martin told . “Both of these require a lot of hard work and time to achieve. I was lucky enough to have been building an audience around my artwork for nearly a decade.”

Doodle #559 won over NFT collectors’ hearts and minds (and pockets).

How expensive were Doodles at mint?

Despite a relatively high mint price of 0.123 ETH, the Doodles NFT collection quickly sold out. Believe it or not, their floor climbed to 2.3 ETH that same month. At the time of writing, their Floor Price sits at a whopping 12 ETH.

Clearly, the iconic artwork played a crucial role in Doodles’ growth. Compared to the gender stereotypes practiced by several top NFT projects, this project caters to a diverse group of people. With the Pastel-hued line-drawn characters, you could be a golden-crowned ape or a rainbow-haired human. Or even a pickle wearing sunglasses.

What is The Doodlebank?

is the Doodles NFT collection’s community treasury. With over $5 million, the treasury aims to fund products and events voted by the community. Essentially, the community functions almost as a DAO or Decentralized Autonomous Organization. In other words, each Doodle NFT serves as one vote in making any decisions relating to the DoodleBank.

As the project notes on the , “Owning a Doodle allows you to vote on community-driven features, products and events.” Besides, this makes its “roadmap collaborative to be decided by the project founders and Doodle holders via the Doodlebank.”

Celebrities That own Doodles

The collection’s fans also include celebrities like , who halted a live show just to show off his Doodles NFT! He bought Doodle #2238, the 9th rarest in existence. Meanwhile, Pranksy bought Doodle #6914, a rare golden ape, for a whopping 296.69 ETH or around $1.1 million. Remarkably, this was the collection’s first seven-figure sale. Australian DJ Timmy Trumpet is another celebrity who has aped into the pastel pioneers’ collection.

What Benefits do holders get?

For a community-focused NFT project like Doodles, there were bound to be some additional perks for collectors. First of all, there are live events. Apparently, they plan to become an . But actually, their interest in live events comes as no surprise.

Doodles also collaborated with The Heart Project to hold a real-life event during Art Basel Miami. The ‘Heart Basel Miami’ event included limited-edition merch, a gallery,  murals and live music performance.

the founders are also planning installations, concert merchandise, and more in the future. Ultimately, they aim to “bridge web3 and the real world”.

What are Space Doodles?

So, what is  Space Doodles all about? The team released Space Doodles for all current Doodles NFT holders in February 2022. However, Space doodles was not a dilutive drop. Rather, each Space Doodle is backed 1:1 by its counterpart in the original collection. These space doodles were spaceships, allowing each character a unique method of transport in the form of a cute animation.

Only current holders can mint Space Doodles.

“Only one can exist in your wallet at any time and you can wrap/unwrap as many times as you’d like,” explained the projects founder. Basically, each Doodles NFT holder received an NFT spaceship that would allow the ‘Dood’ to go to space! The spaceships were all individual and ranged from traditional looking crafts, to objects and faces!

However, with the success of the initial NFT collection, many Doodles holders wanted to expand the community. After a few months, the founders announced a new NFT drop.

What are Dooplicators?

Doodles announced dooplicators in May 2022. Immediately, the hype was real. At the time of writing, they sit at a 3ETH floor pre-reveal! Every owner of the OG collection could claim a dooplicator for free within a specific time period. Now, we’ll just have to wait to see what Dooplicators really are.

What is Doodles 2?

Doodles 2 is the project’s effort to bring Doodles to a wider audience. To be sure, the team has hinted that the new collection could have millions of NFTs. What’s more, holders will be able to customise their NFTs. To explain, they can buy a basic Doodles 2 NFT and some basic traits and customise their NFT with new wearables and accessories.

What are the Genesis Box NFTs?

As the project gears up for the Doodles 2 launch, it has already auctioned Genesis Box NFTs, which is instrumental to the upcoming collection. Essentially, Genesis Box NFTs are the first set of accessories that holders can use to customise their Doodles 2 NFTs. In fact, the project noted, “Each one-time-use Box contains a rare assortment of apparel and accessories.”

Of the total 24,000 Genesis Boxes, the first 4,000 were reserved for Doodles holders and their guests at NFT.NYC. In fact, the project partnered with Shopify to allow customers to reserve a box for $123 using a credit card. Later, the team auctioned the remaining 20,000 boxes through a “bucket auction”.

Ultimately, there were 4,446 winning bids for a threshold price of 0.508 ETH. Notably, acclaimed NFT collector Pranksy was the top bidder, who paid 290.01 ETH for 570 boxes.

Apart from Genesis Box NFTs, the Dooplicators also play a crucial role in the Doodles 2 collection. To explain, these will generate wearables for the new NFTs. While the team has not confirmed a date yet, Doodles 2 will launch this year, bringing together the new NFTs, Dooplicators, and Genesis Boxes.

Clearly, Doodles NFTs are on the right path. With their spectacular artwork, doxxed veteran developers, and a great community, it’s hard to ignore these trend-setters. Besides, who could turn down a pickle with sunglasses?
