Doodles NFT is a joyful collection of pastel colors, and its founders hope to make it the next Web3 entertainment space. But is it worth investing in?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you scroll through Twitter often, you may have run across a line-drawn colorful pastel avatar. These rainbow illustrations aren\u2019t cast members of a cartoon show like Adventure Time<\/em>. Instead, they’re non-fungible tokens (NFT) known as Doodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These NFTs aren\u2019t like the random scribbles drawn during a Zoom meeting that could have been an email (come on, we\u2019ve all been there). The Canadian illustrator Burnt Toast rose to fame after turning his seemingly simple yet colorful hand-drawn doodles into NFTs and creating a whole universe of avatars with different traits and backstories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doodles is moving beyond simple NFT collections and into the web3 era of gamification.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As NFTs exploded in popularity, so too have various NFT collections. Doodles took center stage recently by expanding into the tangible world with merchandise, a pop-up store, events, and an online community of avid supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what makes Doodles NFTs different from other collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club? Before you start scanning your Zoom meeting scribbles, let\u2019s sift through the pastel-tinted world of Doodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Doodles NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doodles NFTs are line-drawn characters distinguished by their range of pastel colors, simplistic cartoon figures, and various traits. It’s a community-based NFT project built on the Ethereum blockchain. Each Doodle owner can vote on experiences and projects paid for by the Doodles Community Treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doodles collection went live in October 2021 with 10,000 avatars priced at 0.123 ETH per mint. The NFT collection has since become among the top lucrative collections on the market, with over $500 million in secondary trading volume since it started trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ecosystem includes humans, cats, pickles, apes, flames, aliens, skeletons, and even balloons. Prices on the secondary market vary, but cats, skeletons, and aliens often fetch the highest prices. The NFTs can be purchased on NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doodles team has since announced they’re expanding the collection with Doodles 2, a collection of millions of avatars with several interchangeable traits and wearable items so users can customize the look of their Doodles 2 NFT. The new collection won\u2019t be released on Ethereum, but which blockchain it’ll be deployed on is yet to be announced by the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is behind Doodles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doodles founders are super experienced in the NFT space. The primary artist, Scott Martin, goes by the alias ‘Burnt Toast.’ The Canada-based illustrator is a career freelance designer, animator, and muralist who has worked for clients like Whatsapp, Google, and Snapchat. He\u2019s also minted his own pieces and has worked in the NFT space for a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-founders Evan Keast and Jordan Castro, who go by the aliases ‘Tulip’ and ‘Poopie,’ respectively, have worked at other NFT companies like Dapper Labs and helped launch the CryptoKitties NFT collection in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doodles include the original art of Scott Martin with hundreds of unique visual traits. Like other NFT collections, the creators procedurally generated Doodles with mixed-and-matched traits to create the entire collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Doodles NFTs unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doodles NFTs are digital assets with utility beyond just a blockchain token. The team takes a community-first approach to Doodles. The joyful collection of avatars grants users voting rights, which makes the project roadmap a collaborative effort. The community\u2019s voting system and its anti-scam, pro-artist culture have reinforced this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community-driven<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After the collection went live, the founders closed the community Discord channel when it reached just over 1,000 members\u2014a move that got mixed reviews. The Discord server was reopened once the Doodles collection sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doodles community is essentially a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which means that Doodles holders have a say in what the ecosystem does. Owning one Doodle equates to one vote on any decision made by the DoodleBank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

our goal is to make a product that\u2019s sticky.
