What's New With DeadFellaz NFT? Town Hall Recap

On Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022, the heads of the Deadfellaz NFT project, @betty_nft and @psych_nft, hosted an AMA in the official project Discord. On Monday, Jan. 24, 2022, they followed it up with a Twitter Spaces. Below is a summary of the events.

tl;dr: Up to 13,000 Deadfrenz maximum, Pixelfellaz coming, Merchandise, toys, plushies, and DAO of the Dead soon, IRL meetups and partnerships in the works

Introducing DeadFrenz Companion Collection

• The newest addition to the DeadFellaz collection, DeadFrenz, was previously announced to drop on Feb. 3.
• There will be a maximum of 13,000 NFTs, dropped in a mint-pass style.
  • Thirteen different animal species, 999 NFTs of each species, and 13 1/1 alpha DeadFrenz will be available.
• The original 10,000 holders will be eligible to claim via Lab Access Passes for free plus gas.
  • A wallet snapshot will be taken on Jan. 31
• DeadFellaz Infected S1 holders and Betty Pop Horror holders will be able to purchase one Lab Access Pass for each token for 0.1 ETH plus gas.
• Remaining passes will be distributed to non-holders via a reserved mint list, mostly through partnerships and collaborations with other projects.
• Passes will expire after 120 days.
  • Prior to that, unclaimed/unminted passes will be withdrawn by the team to be redistributed via games and giveaways.
• The goal of the project is to be pfp (profile picture) friendly, not a 1:1 of the original DeadFellaz.
• Thirteen Alpha Lab Access Passes will be randomly airdropped on Feb. 10 to holders of the Lab Access Pass.
  • These passes will look different and be redeemable for a free plus gas mint of the 1/1 Alpha Frenz.
• DeadFrenz will have unique utility (1/1 Alphas separate, extra utility).
  • The team did not elaborate on what that will look like other than to say it will be connected to final supply count.
  • This is why Lab Access Passes will expire after 120 days.
• DeadFrenz will get the same access behind the gate in the Discord as the other NFT projects in the collection, as will all future mints.

Toys, Plushies, and Other Merchandise

• Toys are coming soon.
• Plushies are expected to follow.
• The team is working with Youtooz, a high-quality collectible creator. 
• Merchandise will include physical items and Decentraland items (unannounced, upcoming partnership).
• Merchandise will be released on a rolling basis.
• The team specifically wants merchandise to be different from the standard projects.
  • They are working to design sunglasses, jackets, Halloween costumes, and more that reflect the clothing found on the original Deadfellaz NFTs.

PixelFellaz NFT

• PixelFellaz are currently in development.
• This will not be a new mint, rather just an added utility to DeadFellaz holders.
• This will only be available to the original project holders, not the Infected S1 or Betty Pop Horror holders (for now, potentially subject to change).

Future Marketing

• Betty is currently in touch with Odell Beckham Jr.’s team.
  • We could see him represent the project in some way, if the Los Angeles Rams make the Super Bowl.
• The team has funds set aside for billboards.
  • They are in touch with someone to put them together, but need to decide what cities makes the most sense to place them in.
• The team is planning several future partnerships that are currently in the works (details unable to be shared).

And More

• There have been a couple of new hires to the team on the development side.
• A new website should be launching any day now, which will include regular development blog posts.
• DeadFellaz lore is coming soon.
• A lot of utility will come with Decentraland, Sandbox, and WorldWide Webb.
  • Utility will include both exclusive and open quests, games, and more.
• Several meetups are planned.
  • The team has been stuck in Australia due to Covid but will make it to the UK and do events all over Europe.
  • Stay tuned for more information about Halloween 2022.
  • The team is working with an agency to party plan.
• DAO of the Dead is coming this year at some point, but no details yet.
