The only Golden Multicolored Grin Ape, BAYC No. 7090, <a href="https://etherscan.io/tx/0x6ca129d6d9bd714e2f3626c61ce1b90bb56cda02af1f7b862a6cef13275343fa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sold for 800 ETH Monday morning.</a>&nbsp;
❗Why It Matters
Despite the decline in the Bored Ape Yacht Club floor price from its high of 157 ETH last April, two golden apes have sold for 800 ETH in the last three months. The sale <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/cryptopunks/news/crypto-punks-zombie-sells-for-over-850-e">comes on the heels of a Zombie Punk sale</a>, marking two grail NFTs trading for more than $1 million in the last two days.&nbsp;
💰Money Talks
Since the buyer and seller utilized X2Y2's private listings feature, no fees were taken from the sale and all 800 ETH were transferred to j1mmy. Had the sale taken place on OpenSea, the seller would have yielded 20 ETH to both Yuga Labs and OpenSea, saving him more than $65,000 in the process.&nbsp;
📊 By the Numbers
The 800 ETH sale equates to more than $1.3 million, marking the third-largest Ape sale in collection history (in ETH denomination). What makes this grail sale even more significant, is that it was sold at a 37 percent premium to Deep Value NFT's valuation, which had the Ape valued at a 585 ETH price tag. This sale now sits as the 39th-largest non-auction NFT transaction in history, <a href="https://nftgo.io/analytics/top-nft-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to NFTGo</a>.&nbsp;

Doodles teased several exciting updates to its short-term roadmap in a <a href="https://discord.com/channels/870127360127696896/947534727060021269/1072355410054492220" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Discord announcement Monday night</a>, including Doodles 2 Beta expectations, multi-chain development plans, and even a new IRL event.&nbsp;
❗Why It Matters
In an effort to keep up with a commitment to communication, the Doodles team outlined their comprehensive roadmap for the coming months. Most notably, Doodles will be forgoing SXSW and NFT NYC, in order to launch their own first-ever, semi-permanent Doodles IRL experience, which is expected to take place later this year.&nbsp;
🔜 What&rsquo;s Next?
The announcement also affirmed that Genesis Boxes will be revealed in Feb. and that the Doodles 2 Beta is on track to deploy in the coming months.&nbsp;
The announcement also name-dropped Pharrell, teasing "deets coming soon" in reference to his involvement in the project.&nbsp;
🖼️ The Big Picture
The Doodles ecosystem has taken some heat on multiple fronts lately, mostly concerning the team's communication cadence as well as its decision to utilize the Flow blockchain for Doodles 2. Monday's announcement was a clear attempt to regain trust with the community, stating that they have no intention to stop building on ETH and that they remain committed to being at the forefront of NFT mass adoption through a multi-chain approach.

Built by industry veterans and crafted with signature traits like &ldquo;Rainbow Puke,&rdquo; Doodles is among the most popular NFT collections.&nbsp;
Below, find everything you need to know about the collection and its expanding ecosystem.&nbsp;
<h2>What Is Doodles?</h2>
Doodles is a collection of 10,000 profile picture (PFP) NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain best known for its pastel-colored palette and easily recognizable cartoon-like characters.&nbsp;
The collection boasts a handful of notable traits but is best known for the &ldquo;Rainbow Puke&rdquo; trait which is donned by its mascot and a collection of other Doodles characters.&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://d2jfnp6ieh0n8b.cloudfront.net/doodle_mascot_1e73fe4bb6.webp?updated_at=2023-01-24T16:39:35.406Z" alt="" width="409" height="400" />
<a href="https://luckytrader.com/articles/top-5-traits-for-doodles">Learn more about the top traits from the collection.</a>&nbsp;
<h2>Who Created Doodles?</h2>
Doodles was created by <a href="https://twitter.com/evankeast">Evan Keast</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/burnttoast">Scott Martin (Burnt Toast)</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/poopie">Jordan Castro (Poopie)</a>.&nbsp;
Both Keast and Castro carried extensive experience in early web3 and NFT initiatives, having previously worked with Dapper Labs. Castro in particular was a product lead on Dapper Labs&rsquo; CryptoKitties project, an early ETH NFT that allowed users to breed and trade collections of cats.&nbsp;
While Martin, who is better known in web3 as Burnt Toast, was not employed by Dapper Labs, he had been creating &ldquo;Doodle-like&rdquo; art well before the official launch of the Doodles collection. Some of his earliest 1/1 works have sold for more than 15 ETH.&nbsp;
<h3>Other Key Doodles Players</h3>
In addition to a strong founding team, Doodles has added tremendous executive and advisory support to its team since the project launched. Below we&rsquo;ll indicate a few newer, yet important faces in the Doodle ecosystem:
<h4>Julian Holguin&nbsp;</h4>
A former Billboard executive, Holguin was hired in May 2022 to lead Doodles as acting CEO and help Doodles expand Doodles&rsquo; IP through music, gaming, and entertainment.&nbsp;
<h4>Pharrell Williams&nbsp;</h4>
Musical superstar Pharrell Williams joined Doodles in June 2022 as the Chief Brand Officer. Now frequently seen sporting a Doodles hat in public appearances, Williams is charged with helping to expand the Doodles&rsquo; IP, particularly through music.&nbsp;
He <a href="https://www.vibe.com/news/tech/pharrell-doodles-nft-chief-brand-officer-1234670588/">is working on producing a musical album in collaboration with Columbia Records</a> entitled &ldquo;Doodles Records: Volume 1.&rdquo;
<h4>Alexis Ohanian&nbsp;</h4>
Best known for co-founding Reddit, Ohanian has been a strong advocate for web3 and NFT projects, but perhaps none more than Doodles. Ohanian&rsquo;s venture firm 776 led a $54 million fundraising round for Doodles that valued the brand at $704M.&nbsp;
<h2>When Did Doodles Launch?</h2>
Doodles launched its genesis NFT collection on Oct. 16, 2021, in two phases, first to an allowlist and then to the general public.&nbsp;
<h3>Doodles Mint Price</h3>
Each Doodles NFT was minted for 0.123 ETH, approximately $475 on the mint day.&nbsp;
<h2>What's the Benefit of Owning a Doodle?&nbsp;</h2>
Doodles NFT holders are provided a handful of benefits, including access to exclusive allowlists and community partnerships, free Doodles NFT claims (see below), and the opportunity to vote on Doodlebank proposals.&nbsp;
<h3>Doodlebank</h3>
The Doodlebank is a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) that provides Doodles holders the opportunity to propose and vote on community initiatives, using a portion of funds set aside from the project treasury.&nbsp;
The Doodlebank was initially funded with $5 million and has led to the creation of Noodles and Pukenzas, two notable derivate projects. Additionl proposals can be found and voted on in the Doodles' Discord.&nbsp;
<h2>Doodles Expansion and Ecosystem</h2>
Though the genesis collection is its most notable launch to date, the Doodles ecosystem has slowly but surely started to expand, with the ultimate goal of achieving mass adoption of the Doodles IP with &ldquo;millions&rdquo; of holders.&nbsp;
Below we&rsquo;ll walk through the (for now) disparate pieces of the Doodles&rsquo; ecosystem.&nbsp;
<h3>Space Doodles</h3>
The first innovation in the Doodles ecosystem expansion was not really an expansion at all. 
Space Doodles is a non-dilutive companion project available to each genesis Doodles NFT holder.&nbsp;
Unlike other NFT collections that had dropped companions that increased ecosystem supply, Doodles uniquely launched Space Doodles as a non-dilutive collection to keep the total supply at 10,000 NFTs. Instead of producing a separate NFT, holders merely "wrap" their original Doodle NFT, sending it into space amidst a spaceship of varying traits.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://d2jfnp6ieh0n8b.cloudfront.net/space_doodles_b38f8d5192.webp?updated_at=2023-01-24T16:41:03.659Z" alt="" width="634" height="252" />
While a technical innovation and unique idea at implementation, the launch did create some initial confusion. Because of the popularity of other companion collections and their additive nature, some early holders sold their Space Doodles assuming it was a separate NFT.&nbsp;
Unfortunately though, because the Space Doodles project is merely a wrapper the sale of a Space Doodles NFT actually completes the sale of the original Doodles NFT.&nbsp;
Doodles have since added a note to the launcher app on the Doodles website, ensuring users are aware that by selling their Space Doodles, they will really be selling their Doodles NFT.&nbsp;
Still wish to go to space?&nbsp;
Holders of Doodles can send their Doodles to space, and acquire the Spaceship wrapper by using the <a href="https://doodles.app/upgrade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"launcher" app on Doodles.app.</a>&nbsp;
<h3>Doodles 2</h3>
While the Space Doodles launch showcased the ingenuity of the Doodles team, Doodles 2 is expected to showcase their ambitiousness.&nbsp;
Doodles 2 is the major expansionary collection for the project, aimed at bringing the IP and brand to millions of users with its "build-your-Doodle" mechanics. With Doodles 2, users can build their digital identity utilizing wearables and accessories from inside the Genesis Box NFTs, and traits pulled from the initial Doodles collection (using the Dooplicator).&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://d2jfnp6ieh0n8b.cloudfront.net/doodles2app_3ea8da07ba.webp?updated_at=2023-01-25T15:47:18.972Z" alt="" width="670" height="328" />
A Jan. 2023 announcement indicated that Doodles 2 will be housed on the Flow blockchain, where users have an easier onboarding and are not forced to pay costly gas fees that would add up to accessorizing and trading wearables on the Ethereum blockchain.&nbsp;
The Doodles 2 private beta, which will be open to Genesis Box and Dooplicator users, is scheduled to begin on Jan. 31, 2023.&nbsp;
<h3>Dooplicator</h3>
An integral part of the Doodles 2 expansion, Dooplicator NFTs were provided to all Doodles NFT holders as a free claim.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While it is known that the Dooplicator will play some role in duplicating the traits associated with the original Doodles collection, the official utility and use has not yet been revealed.&nbsp;
In Dec. 2022, Jordan Castro updated holders about the upcoming timelines associated with the Dooplicator, and apologized for a severe delay and poor communication, <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-update-holders-on-roadmap-timelines">citing the team's commitment to perfection as a reason for the slowdown</a>.
Starting in Jan. 2023, Dooplicator holders were able to use their NFTs to Dooplicate their own original Doodles NFT, or buy the "dooplication" rights from an existing Doodles holder. Find more information on the Dooplication process below.&nbsp;
<h3>Genesis Boxes</h3>
The most recently launched component of the Doodles ecosystem is the Genesis Box NFT. Each Genesis Box NFT is composed of digital wearables and accessories that will be usable with the launch of the Doodles 2 collection.&nbsp;
The collection was first launched via a public "bucket" auction which featured a mechanic that allowed users to submit a bid above the mint's current price and receive a refund if the final price ended below the bid. For example, if a user bid 1 ETH and the Genesis Boxes sold for 0.6 ETH, the user would be refunded 0.4 ETH.
The collection ultimately sold out its 24,000 pieces at 0.508 ETH.&nbsp;
More is known about the Genesis Boxes than Dooplicators, but the ultimate reveal of its contents is not scheduled until Feb. 2023, according to the Dec. 2022 update from Castro.
<h3>Doodles 2 Wearables</h3>
Doodles 2 wearables are the output of the initial dooplication process. These wearables are generated after using the Dooplicator NFT <a href="https://doodles.app/dooplicator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">via the Doodles App</a>. All Doodles 2 wearables are individual NFTs that are populated on the Flow blockchain, the blockchain of choice for Doodles 2. While the wearables can not yet be applied to a Doodles 2 character, they are actively tradeable on the Gaia marketplace on Flow.&nbsp;
Some of the top Doodles 2 wearables have traded for more than 1 ETH, approximately 17 percent of the original Doodles floor price.&nbsp;
<h3>Golden Wolf</h3>
Though not an NFT, <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-acquires-golden-wolf">Doodles expanded its ecosystem with the acquisition of the notable creative studio and animation agency, Golden Wolf in Jan. 2023.</a> Golden Wolf has helped produce animated shows like "Rick &amp;&nbsp; Morty" and will help legitimize the Doodles' pursuit of IP expansion via creative media.&nbsp;
<h2>Dooplicating Your Doodle</h2>
The second major innovation in the Doodles brand was the unlocking of the Dooplicator utility. Originally launched in early 2022, the Dooplicator finally came to life in Jan. 2023.&nbsp;
<h3>What Does The Dooplicator Do?&nbsp;</h3>
Dooplicator NFTs allow holders to "dooplicate" the traits and attributes of original Doodles NFTs into wearables and traits for Doodles 2 NFTs. More or less, the Dooplication process "copies" the traits from Doodles on ETH, and "pastes" them as new NFTs on the Flow blockchain. While the process is quite simple, there are some unique mechanics we'll explore below.&nbsp;
<h3>How Do I Dooplicate My Doodle?&nbsp;</h3>
Doodles can be dooplicated in just a few steps from the <a href="https://doodles.app/dooplicator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doodles App</a>.&nbsp;
1. Connect Your Dooplicator Wallet&nbsp;
First you'll need to connect the wallet that holds your Dooplicator NFT, or its delegated counterpart on the Doodles App.
2. Select Your Dooplicator
After you've connected your Dooplicator wallet, you can select a Dooplicator and a Doodles NFT to dooplicate (if you own it). If you don't own a Doodles NFT, but still wish to make use of your Dooplicator device don't worry, you still can!&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://d2jfnp6ieh0n8b.cloudfront.net/dooplicator_2b24e6efae.webp?updated_at=2023-02-14T14:15:36.275Z" alt="" width="794" height="472" />
2a. Buy Doodles Rights
If you don't have a Doodles NFT, but wish to make use of a Dooplicator, you can buy a Doodles' <a href="https://doopmarket.doodles.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"dooplication" rights from the Dooplicator marketplace.</a> If you must buy Dooplication rights, you can begin the Dooplication process directly from this page, choosing the Doodle of your choice, paying the listing fee and utilizing the Dooplicator in your wallet.&nbsp;
2b. Sell Doodles Rights
If you don't want to dooplicate your Doodle, but instead would rather allow someone else to dooplicate its traits, you can list your Dooplication rights on the aforementioned marketplace. If your Doodle is chosen for dooplication, you'll receive a the listing fee of your choosing. <a href="https://doopmarket.doodles.app/sell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Head here to choose your price and list your Doodle for potential Dooplication</a>. You can evaluate the price of other Doodles rights on the marketplace.&nbsp;
3. Connect a Dapper Wallet
Because Doodles 2 wearables are NFTs on the Flow blockchain, you'll need to connect a Dapper Wallet (a wallet for Flow NFTs) to appropriately receive your Doodles 2 wearable NFTs. Dapper Wallets can be created with just an email address and password.&nbsp;
4. Dooplicate!&nbsp;
Once you've chosen a Dooplicator and Doodles and connected your Dapper wallet, you can begin the Dooplication process. Once the process is complete, you'll receive your Doodles 2 wearables on the Flow blockchain.&nbsp;
<h2>Where Can I Trade Doodles 2 NFTs?&nbsp;</h2>
Doodles 2 NFTs and wearables will all be tradeable on the Flow blockchain. At present time, <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/the-dooplicator/news/doodles-2-trading-goes-live-on-gaia">the Gaia Marketplace on Flow is the primary marketplace for trading</a>!&nbsp;
<h2>Doodles IRL Events</h2>
Doodles not only gained acclaim for its innovation on the blockchain, but also "in real life" at its events hosted at SXSW, Art Basel in Miami, and NFT NYC.&nbsp;
At each activation, Doodles has gone above and beyond to provide a unique experience for holders and community participants.&nbsp;
For example, at the NFT NYC event in 2022, Doodles allowed select users to mint Genesis Boxes on-site and at<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2djJhgfl91s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> SXSW a Shopify partnership powered a unique product distribution and sales experience</a>.&nbsp;
<h2>How Much Is the Doodles Brand Worth?&nbsp;</h2>
In 2022, Doodles received a $54 million fundraising round that valued the company at $704 million. The company suggested it would deploy the funds to add members to its growing organization in an attempt to create an NFT brand that gains mass adoption.&nbsp;
<h2>How Much Are Doodles NFTs?&nbsp;</h2>
While Doodles have previously achieved an all-time high floor price above 20 ETH, the floor price as of Tuesday, Jan. 24 is 8 ETH or approximately $12,800.&nbsp;

📊 By the Numbers
Despite some enthusiasm from the Doodles' community regarding the long-awaited release, prices have steadily decreased since the Doodles 2 and Flow news from last week. Below find the floor price movement from the major NFTs in the ecosystem in the last seven days:
<ul>
<li>Dooplicators: -39%, 0.81 ETH</li>
<li>Genesis Boxes: -4%, 0.21 ETH</li>
<li>Doodles: -16%, 6.69 ETH</li>
</ul>

<li>Secondly, Genesis Box users will be granted a Beta Key for use in the Doodles 2 Beta on Flow.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Lastly, OG Doodles holders can rent out their Doodles' traits in the Dooplicator marketplace, without utilizing a Dooplicator.&nbsp;</li>

Doodles announced all Genesis Box NFTs will contain rare or exclusive items <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1630292270170685442?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a tweet on Monday afternoon</a>.&nbsp;
❗Why It Matters
Doodles has been listening to feedback from the community and ramping up communication with holders after last year's questionable silence. Often in NFTs, the anticipation of an event is more impactful than the event itself and Doodles leaned into that today, willingly providing an "announcement of an announcement."&nbsp;
The Deets
Below were the two most important notes from the Doodles announcement:
<ul>
<li>Genesis Boxes - "EVERYTHING in these boxes is gonna be rare" announced the team. Now every box might contain an exclusive, a grail, a Beta Pass, or even a 1/1s trait. The change will impact the reveal of Genesis Box NFTs, which was previously slated for Feb.&nbsp;</li>
<li>DOODLEMAP - "Doodles is here to ship products, not promises."&nbsp;</li>

The DoodleMap, an illustration of the DoodleVerse, <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1631711612347326469" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was released by Doodles on Friday afternoon</a>.
The Deets
The DoodleMap provides a visual representation of the Doodles ecosystem and attempts to showcase the team's continued investment in the Ethereum ecosystem and the original Doodles collection.
While many of the DoodleMap items were already known, a few new or rarely talked about items are listed below:
<ul>
<li>Doodles Records: Placed closely to the "Stoodio," Doodles Records is indicated as a part of the Doodles' Ethereum roadmap. For those who may not recall, Chief Brand Officer Pharrell is actively working on <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1541615702943051777" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doodles Records: Volume 1 for release sometime this year</a>.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Planets: There has been some speculation that a game would come for those who wrapped their Doodles NFTs into Space Doodles, but that has not been confirmed.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The Stoodio: It's not immediately clear what the depiction of "The Stoodio" is - though it's placed closely to Doodles Records, and a pencil - which may indicate some artistic or creative endeavor or "studio."&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
❗Why It Matters
Doodles, much like PROOF, has been consistently dinged for its inability to transparently and consistently communicate its progress and plans with holders and the NFT community. In the wake of the news that a bulk of the future of Doodles plans (Doodles 2) would take place on a different blockchain, many speculated that it would be difficult for the team to drive value back to the original Doodles on ETH. While the details are limited, the DoodlesMap appears to indicate that the team has a handful of initiatives planned for those staying closer to the Ethereum blockchain.&nbsp;

Doodles founder <a title="https://twitter.com/poopie" href="https://twitter.com/poopie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@poopie</a> also came under fire for telling a collector who was critical of the project to "floor it and GTFO," and the project's recent <a title="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-kicks-off-sock-piling-competition" href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-kicks-off-sock-piling-competition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"gold sock" competition</a> was criticized for being tone deaf amidst Doodles' communication and execution shortcomings.

Doodles <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1641188351062491136?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> a link to the Genesis Box site, where holders can go to prepare ahead of the box opening date on March 31st.
❗ Why It Matters
March 31st is Genesis Box day, and opening boxes is generally a time for excitement. But the box reveal was previously slated for February, and it certainly feels like sentiment about the project and towards the team has been on a downward trend for awhile now.
This is a moment of truth for the Doodles team, which has been under fire in recent weeks for poor communication and a perceived inability to deliver tangible value to holders. <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-wont-spend-to-appease-those-with-financial-motivations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Poopie's callous remarks</a> certainly didn't help matters.
The Deets
<ul>
<li>Each Genesis Box includes two wearables and a Beta Pass. The box burns upon opening.
<ul>
<li>"One Wearable will be an Exclusive&nbsp;while the other will be an&nbsp;Exclusive, a&nbsp;Grail&nbsp;or a&nbsp;1 of 1."</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Beta Pass is an early access key to Doodles 2. Using a Dooplicator will also unbox a Beta Pass.</li>
<li>There are 201 unique Wearables in total that can be collected and used in Doodles 2.</li>
<li>The Wearables are a randomized mix of items, including headwear, accessories, tops, bottoms, and footwear.</li>

Prepare To Open Doodles 2 Genesis Boxes on March 31st

Holders can go to the Doodles Genesis Box site to prepare ahead of the box opening date on March 31st.

Holders can go to the Doodles (@doodles) Genesis Box site to prepare ahead of the box opening date on March 31st.

Doodles is seeking to transform its Doodlebank with a focus on community empowerment and holder rewards, streamlining funding and improving governance <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1641428953591169024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to an amendment posted by the project.</a>&nbsp;
The Deets:
The new Doodlebank will:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Appoint a founding community council and establish governance.</li>
<li>Remove $100k commercial license cap for approved projects.</li>
<li>Improve oversight and communication.</li>
<li>Replace snapshot proposal voting with council and team approval.</li>
<li>Remove quorum requirements and align incentives strategically.</li>
</ul>
The Details
Doodlebank is appointing a founding community council to streamline funding and establish effective governance. This council will be responsible for community budget planning, proposal vetting, and communicating Doodlebank progress to the community. They will also help plan the rewards program roadmap, offering valuable input on the product roadmap.
Removing the $100k commercial license cap for revenues derived from projects executed under approved Doodlebank proposals will allow community members to think more creatively and pursue opportunities that complement or strengthen the Doodles team's efforts. Replacing snapshot proposal voting with community council and Doodles team approval, as well as removing quorum requirements, will better align incentives between holders and the core team, enabling the strategic distribution of Doodlebank funds.
❗Why It Matters
This transformation of Doodlebank introduces a critical potential pivot in the relationship between Doodles and its community. By focusing on community empowerment and holder rewards, the Doodlebank is encouraging the development of new projects and ideas, which can contribute to the overall success of the Doodles brand and the NFT space. Streamlining the funding process and improving governance will enable quicker and more efficient deployment of resources, benefiting both individual creators and the entire ecosystem. These changes can serve as a model for other NFT projects, promoting a more sustainable and collaborative environment within the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and NFTs.

The wait is finally over! Doodles' <a title="https://luckytrader.com/nft/genesis-box" href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/genesis-box" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genesis Boxes</a> can now be <a title="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1641847552948551680" href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1641847552948551680" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened</a> after these NFTs were originally airdropped to holders eight months ago.
❗&nbsp;Why It Matters
Genesis Boxes are a key component of the <a title="https://luckytrader.com/nft/ecosystems/doodles" href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/ecosystems/doodles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doodles ecosystem</a> that bridge genesis Doodles with Doodles 2. Specifically, Genesis Boxes contain Doodles 2 early access "beta" passes and wearables that can be equipped to Doodles 2 characters.
🔎The Details
The two wearables in each box are a randomized mix of items, including headwear, tops, bottoms, footwear, and accessories. Once opened, your wearables will be available in your Flow wallet, and you can buy, sell, or explore more Doodles 2 wearables on the <a title="https://ongaia.com/" href="https://ongaia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaia Marketplace</a>.For those who prefer self-custody, <a title="https://docs.doodles.app/genesis-box-documentation" href="https://docs.doodles.app/genesis-box-documentation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a guide is available</a> for unboxing without needing to touch custodial wallets. However, this is not supported by Doodles, and users should proceed at their own risk. KYC will be required in select instances when using a Dapper Wallet, according to the announcement.
Wearables can be classified as Exclusive, Grail or 1-of-1. Collectors have a 100% chance of ripping an Exclusive wearable in each box opening, a 16.6% chance at a Grail wearable and a 0.05% chance at a 1-of-1.

The Wait is Over: Open Your Genesis Box

The wait is over: open your @doodles Genesis Box

Doodles <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1645509648508674056" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced it has opened applications for five key Community Council roles</a> to engage and empower its community.&nbsp;
❗Why It Matters
The establishment of a Community Council demonstrates Doodles' new commitment to empowering the community to take an active role in shaping the future of the Doodles ecosystem. The positions will span across five critical components of the Doodles ecosystem, with a focus on communicating effectively to the community and creating and rewarding that community appropriately. Doodles has long been criticized for its poor communication to holders and others have feared potential waning interest in rewarding existing holders (<a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-wont-spend-to-appease-those-with-financial-motivations">perhaps in part due to Poopie's recent commentary</a>). The council will be the first step in correcting the negative sentiment that has boiled over in recent months.&nbsp;
The Deets
<ul>
<li>Five roles available: Chair, Treasurer, Events, Grants, and Rewards</li>
<li>Application process open through April 17</li>
<li>Community members can support applicants by liking submissions and engaging in the forum</li>
</ul>
The Details
Doodles has opened applications for its Community Council, aiming to fill five crucial roles: Chair, Treasurer, Events, Grants, and Rewards. This initiative seeks to involve the community in the decision-making process and strengthen the Doodles ecosystem.
The application period will run until April 17, and the process is outlined in the Doodles forum. Community members are encouraged to participate by liking applicant submissions and asking questions directly in the forum. Only Doodles holders can apply.&nbsp;

<li>The Stoodio will be the new home for the Doodles experiences</li>
<li>Assumed name for Doodles 2 creation "studio"</li>
<li>Early beta access starting April 28</li>
</ul>
❗️Why It Matters
After unveiling its Dooplication process earlier this year, Doodles has had only a few positive moments in which it could push forward its community, a community that has been in some turmoil amidst <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-wont-spend-to-appease-those-with-financial-motivations">comments from Poopie</a> and a falling floor price. Regardless, the team remains committed to its path, as evidenced by its commentary when the Stoodio was first teased in the<a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/doodles-official/news/doodles-shares-doodle-map"> Doodles' commitment to ETH Doodlemap release</a>.&nbsp;
It feels dramatic, but each step of the Doodlemap feels like a critical "make it or break it" type event for Doodles' connection to the native web3 demographic and community, particularly given the divide that Doodles 2 previously created. Will the Stoodio energize a whole new group of collectors, hoping to create their own Doodles? Or will there be a mass of low-value supply Doodles that users prefer to the originals? We'll see.&nbsp;
🎬 Take Action
Mark your calendars for April 28 and be among the first to explore The Stoodio on Friday. No action is required at this time.&nbsp;
It is not yet confirmed, but expectation is that "Beta Passes" will be required to use the Stoodio. <a href="https://ongaia.com/doodles2wearables" target="_blank" rel="noopener">These can be purchased on the secondary market on Flow</a>.&nbsp;

Doodles' Stoodio Opening Friday

The Stoodio, a new platform for creating custom Doodles, is set to launch its early beta access on April 28.

The Doodles Stoodio is expected to open its doors on Friday. 

The Doodles (@doodles) Stoodio is expected to open its doors on Friday. 

Last night, Doodles <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1652028295117172736?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that the beta for Doodles 2 is now open at the Stoodio, which will serve as the portal for all Doodles digital experiences.
The Deets
<ul>
<li>The Stoodio is the central hub for everything in the Doodlesverse and can be found here (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://t.co/BtrZrQ0l3Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stoodio.doodles.app</a>).</li>
<li>Also, the Stoodio is the bridge to the Doodles 2 Character Builder.</li>
<li>Be sure to remove wearables from your Doodles 2 character if you sell anything, as its name and all wearables that are equipped will be sold with it.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://www.doodles.app/pharrell-pack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pharrell Pack</a> is a limited edition box (300 in total) with 3 digital wearables, 1 Redeemable, and 1 Beta Pass.</li>
<li>Redeemables are your digital ticket to physical goods, and you can redeem your physical item in The Stoodio between June 6th and June 15, 2023.</li>
</ul>
The Details
The Stoodio is the member home base and the HQ for the Doodles collector experience; it includes holder profiles, rewards, etc. It&rsquo;ll serve as the portal to physical and digital experiences, collectibles, and access to exclusive brand and artist partnerships. It&rsquo;s also where you can start the Doodles 2 experience and create and customize your Doodle in the Doodles 2 Character Builder.
At launch, you&rsquo;ll be able to trade your Doodles 2 character on Evaluate or other marketplaces that pull directly from the chain. Be aware that if you sell your fully equipped Doodles 2 character, its name and all wearables that are equipped will be sold with it. And if you wish to sell specific items, make sure that you remove wearables from your Doodle before doing so. The Doodles team will be rolling out the preferred marketplace experience for this after the initial beta launch.
The Pharell Pack is limited to 300, curated by <a href="https://twitter.com/Pharrell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@Pharrell</a>, and is filled with three digital wearables and physical items from some of his favorite brands, including <a href="https://twitter.com/adidas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@adidas</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/humanrace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@humanrace</a>, Billionaire Boys Club, and <a href="https://twitter.com/bbcicecream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bbcicecream</a>. Every single Pharrell Pack will come with a Redeemable, which you can burn to redeem for a physical item. And 12 Doodles will receive a Redeemable for the limited Pharrell 50th birthday edition green Sambas. You can redeem your physical item in The Stoodio between June 6th and June 15, 2023.
❗ Why It Matters
At last, the next chapter of the Doodles has arrived. The Doodles team has leaned into the customization angle as the driver of building out the Doodles universe, as well as signaled their intention to deliver both physical and digital offerings that appeal to their holder base. How Doodles 2 will impact holders over the long term from a value proposition standpoint still remains to be seen, but they've executed on building an interesting experience that will re-ignite interest for many.
🎬 Take Action
<ol>
<li>Create a Stoodio account and connect your Dapper Wallet. Use the Beta Pass in your wallet to create a blank Doodle and claim your Doodles name.</li>
<li>Choose organic traits like skin and hair, browse and equip Wearables, finalize your look, and mint your customized Doodle to the blockchain.</li>
</ol>
Pharrell Pack&nbsp;
Those hoping to score a Pharrell Pack will need to complete each of the following five steps:
<ul>
<li>Create a Stoodio Profile</li>
<li>Hold an OG Doodle</li>
<li>Create a Doodle (in the Stoodio)</li>
<li>Dooplicate at least once</li>
<li>Open a Genesis Box</li>
</ul>

The Stoodio Opens Its Doors for Doodles 2 Beta

The Doodles 2 beta is now open at the Stoodio, which is the portal for all Doodles digital experiences.

Doodle Watch <a href="https://twitter.com/doodles/status/1653474385632608257" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is now accepting applications</a> for two community oversight positions until May 5 at 11:59 pm ET.
The Deets:
<ul>
<li>Establish community oversight of the community council</li>
<li>Develop a feeder program for future community council positions</li>
<li>Ensure the community's voice is heard in council meetings</li>
<li>2 positions available, with a 3-month term and $6,000 pay per term</li>
<li>Election process: Snapshot voting from May 8th to May 20th</li>
</ul>
The Details
The Doodle Watch aims to establish community oversight over the community council, develop a feeder program for future community council positions, and ensure the community's voice is heard during council meetings. Two positions are currently available, with the possibility of adding more in the future. Members will be elected for a 3-month term and receive a pay of $6,000 per term.
To apply, candidates should create a "new topic" under the corresponding Doodle Watch category, summarizing their qualifications, experience, and reasons for wanting to serve on the Doodle Watch. They should also include their Doodle ID(s) and contact information (Twitter and Discord are preferred).
Only Doodle holders may apply to the Doodle Watch. Candidates will be elected by Snapshot voting, which will take place from May 8th to May 20th, with one Doodle equating to one vote.
❗️Why It Matters
Doodles has been criticized for downplaying the importance of its community's feedback and communications, but Doodle Watch positions join the recently announced Community Council as formal positions designed to engage the project's holders. The project just released the beta of its Doodles' Stoodio, but is in need of more small victories to continue earning back its once held stellar reputation in web3.&nbsp;
