The Deets:

- Develop a feeder program for future community council positions
- Ensure the community's voice is heard in council meetings
- 2 positions available, with a 3-month term and $6,000 pay per term

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.
🎬 Take Action
Submit your Doodle Watch application by creating a "new topic" under the corresponding Doodle Watch category before May 5th, 11:59 pm ET. Make sure to include your qualifications, experience, Doodle ID(s), and contact information.
Last night, Doodles announced 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
- The Stoodio is the central hub for everything in the Doodlesverse and can be found here (stoodio.doodles.app).
- Also, the Stoodio is the bridge to the Doodles 2 Character Builder.
- 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.
- The Pharrell Pack is a limited edition box (300 in total) with 3 digital wearables, 1 Redeemable, and 1 Beta Pass.
- 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.
The Details
The Stoodio is the member home base and the HQ for the Doodles collector experience; it includes holder profiles, rewards, etc. It’ll serve as the portal to physical and digital experiences, collectibles, and access to exclusive brand and artist partnerships. It’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’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 @Pharrell, and is filled with three digital wearables and physical items from some of his favorite brands, including @adidas, @humanrace, Billionaire Boys Club, and @bbcicecream. 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.

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.

The Stoodio, a new platform for creating custom Doodles, is set to launch its early beta access on April 28.
The Deets
- The Stoodio will be the new home for the Doodles experiences
- Assumed name for Doodles 2 creation "studio"
- Early beta access starting April 28
❗️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 comments from Poopie 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 Doodles' commitment to ETH Doodlemap release.
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.
🎬 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.
It is not yet confirmed, but expectation is that "Beta Passes" will be required to use the Stoodio. These can be purchased on the secondary market on Flow.

Doodles announced it has opened applications for five key Community Council roles to engage and empower its community.
❗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 (perhaps in part due to Poopie's recent commentary). The council will be the first step in correcting the negative sentiment that has boiled over in recent months.
The Deets
- Five roles available: Chair, Treasurer, Events, Grants, and Rewards
- Application process open through April 17
- Community members can support applicants by liking submissions and engaging in the forum
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 wait is finally over! Doodles' Genesis Boxes can now be opened after these NFTs were originally airdropped to holders eight months ago.
❗ Why It Matters
Genesis Boxes are a key component of the Doodles ecosystem 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 Gaia Marketplace.For those who prefer self-custody, a guide is available 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.

Genesis Boxes can be opened at https://genesisbox.doodles.app/. Holders interested in opening their box can refer to this "how-to" video provided by the Doodles team.
