Gutter Cat Gang is putting together focus groups to help it make decisions in the best interest of the community, according to a Discord message shared Tuesday.
Why It Matters: Gutter Cat Gang is giving its community an outlet to provide constructive criticism amidst a falling floor price and all-time high levels of "FUD."
What They're Saying: "It’s no secret that FUD has been at ATH levels over the past few weeks," said Gutter Mitch. "We’re going to start hosting semi-regular focus groups with small groups of active, positive, constructive members of the community who want to help turn things around and help bring GCG back to its former glory as an undisputed top, OG project in the space. During these sessions, we’ll try to give everyone the mic to share their constructive feedback and suggestions."

Gutter Cat Gang’s newly-launched website intends to reward collectors through gamification by serving “as the foundational infrastructure for [GCG] to build upon … the collector experience.”
Why It Matters: The new website is GCG’s latest attempt to motivate its community to be more active and engaged. Now, collectors can create and manage their profiles, see the top collectors in the ecosystem via the “Gutterboard”, download high-res images of Gutter NFTs, and interact with collection galleries.
As the NFT landscape fizzles, projects must maintain the attention of their holders. By gamifying its collector experience, GCG likely hopes to strengthen its core holder base and introduce top collectors to its broader community. (context)

What People Are Saying: "Ok, yeah, this is cool. It's a whole bunch of things I was waiting for all at once," Ashley Boulter (Bolty) said on Twitter.

The Gutter Cat Gang Clone Machine is open once more, according to a tweet from the project.
This time, holders can utilize the Clone Machine to upgrade a D1 Gutter Dog Clone to a D2 Gutter Dog Clone, offering advanced exclusivity within the Gutter Cat ecosystem.
To build a D2 Gutter Dog Clone, holders need to burn two NFTs, one D1 Gutter Dog Clone, and one D2 DNA Gutter Juice while also choosing a D1 Gutter Dog Clone to "enhance."
D2 Gutter Dog Clones will reveal shortly after completing the cloning process, leaving users with a new Gutter Dog NFT with enhanced traits "inspired by sports, streetwear, culture, and nostalgia."
The cloning process has been a positive experience for some members of the Gutter Cat Gang community.
"The pop culture references in the traits have been a real treat," said Gutter Cat Gang community Member Noah#7301, "The Dalmatian fur became a gutter version of Pac-Man, the Beethoven fur became a reference to Guitar Hero, and the Dog Bone Chain became a Zelda Nintendo game cartridge, the ones you had to blow in to clear out the dust to get them to work. These traits hit home since I grew up playing these games, [it] brings back memories."
All in all, the process to create a D2 Gutter Dog Clone would cost a new participant around 0.26 ETH, 0.19 ETH of which is effectively burned in the process. As of 5:45 p.m. ET, 91 D2 Gutter Dogs have been created, holding a floor price of 0.40 ETH at the time of writing.
