Latest Moonbirds Oddities News
PROOF updated its user experience (UX) for Mythic hatching, integrating new features to improve overall user engagement and transparency.
The Deets
- Introduction of Hearth Feed: Real-time display of Mythics hatching across Volaria
- Enhanced visual representation of Rarity Levels in bird summary
- Option to share Mythic choices via social media with "Review Your Mythics"
- Recognition of community builders enhancing the reveal experience
The Bulk
PROOF introduced several updates to its UX for Mythic hatching. The first significant improvement is the Hearth Feed, a real-time display showing all the new Mythics hatching across Volaria. This feature offers a transparent view of the Mythic hatching process, including which Mythics were chosen and which remained "unwoven."
In terms of trait visualization, PROOF has improved the design of how Rarity Levels are displayed in the bird summary. Instead of using Rarity Level badges to denote the highest rarity trait of each bird, the new design depicts the total rarity distribution. The color coding ranges from dark gray for an empty slot, to magenta for Legendary traits, enabling users to understand the rarity distribution at a glance.
Another update is the addition of "Review Your Mythics," a feature that allows users to share their Mythic choices with friends via Twitter or X. The platform is also recognizing the contributions of community builders who are enhancing the Mythic reveal experience through dedicated coverage and reveal platforms.

PROOF will soon open the Odd God's Hearth, providing an opportunity for Oddities to transform into Mythics through a sacrificial burning process.
The Deets
- Oddities can be nominated for sacrifice, transforming into Mythics when selected.
- Each day, 50 Oddities will be randomly selected for burning for 200 days.
- The maximum possible number of Oddities burned depends on daily nominations.
- Unused Oddities slots will be determined by the community.
The Bulk
As the Odd God’s Hearth springs to life, it provides an intriguing opportunity for owners of Oddities. The option to let your Oddity undergo a sacrificial burn could result in the birth of a new, more powerful Mythic. Should you choose to preserve your Oddity, it remains a part of a deflationary art collection.
To participate, owners nominate an Oddity for sacrifice by signing the Terminus Tablet, which earmarks it for destruction when chosen. Those feeling a change of heart can destroy their Tablet, sparing their Oddity from the burn.
Over a period of 200 days, 50 nominated Oddities are selected for burning each day. This implies a potential obliteration of the entire 10,000-piece collection, should all 50 slots be filled daily. However, any unused slots from the daily quota don't roll over. For instance, if only 1 Oddity is nominated in a day, the remaining 49 spots are lost.
The fate of unused Oddity spots rests in the hands of the community.
Once an Oddity is chosen for sacrifice, the process is automatic. The burning results in the emergence of a new Mythic in the owner's wallet, replacing the consumed Oddity. No additional steps or interventions are required by the Oddity owner, and email notifications can be provided upon successful transformation.
🎬 Take Action
Considering a transformation for your Oddity? Make your choice at here.
🔜 What's Next?
While the sacrificial system operates over the next 200 days, keep an eye on community discussions determining the fate of unused Oddity slots. Whether redistributed to Moonbirds or reducing the total supply, this decision will shape the future landscape of the collection.

50 Mythic Eggs and 50 Oddities will embark on their journey to reveal each day starting in July.
The Deets
- The Mythic Egg Reveal: Stone, Runic, and Legendary eggs will provide 1, 2, or 3 respective Mythic choices upon activation.
- Oddity Burn: Oddities can be nominated for burning. They have no choice in the reveal.
- Collection Deflation: The collection will become deflationary over time due to Oddities burning.
- Stay Tuned: More details to follow.
The Bulk
With the forthcoming event in July, holders of Mythic Eggs and Oddities are about to experience a significant milestone. Every day, 50 Stone, Runic, and Legendary eggs will be randomly activated to reveal 1, 2, or 3 Mythic choices respectively. Once activated, the holders can select their desired Mythic to mint.
On the other hand, Oddities present a more unique scenario. Holders can nominate their Oddities for burning. Unlike their Egg counterparts, Oddities won't have a say in the reveal. The twist? This process will lead to a deflationary effect on the collection, progressively increasing the rarity and potential value of the remaining Oddities over time.
🧐 Wait, What
To simplify, think of the Mythic Eggs as mystery boxes with 1 to 3 options upon opening, depending on the type of the Egg. Oddities, on the other hand, are like playing a high-stakes game – you nominate them for burning and take what you get without any choice in the reveal.
🔜 What's Next?
The key dates and details of the reveal and burning process are yet to be announced. So, keep an eye out for more information.

Moonbirds announced that the Diamond Exhibition mint has reopened for eligible holders and provided details for those interested in reshuffling their Day One airdrop.
The Deets
- Diamond Exhibition mint has reopened for Mint Pass holders and new Diamond Nested birds.
- Day One Diamond Exhibition mint holders can submit their airdropped tokens from May 3-7 to reshuffle for a new piece next week.
- Diamond Exhibition mint passes are also now unfrozen on secondary.
The Details
From May 3rd to May 7th, Day One Diamond Exhibition mint holders can submit airdropped Diamond Exhibition artworks on the PROOF website (proof.xyz) to receive a new piece next week. The Diamond Exhibition Day One Shuffle applies to all airdropped Diamond Exhibition artworks, not just duplicates, as long as they're held by the wallet the works were initially sent to. Pieces bought on secondary markets or minted after the Diamond Exhibition reopened today will not be eligible for the Day One Shuffle.
To ensure there’s enough variety in the shuffle pool, PROOF will add extra pieces by Diamond Exhibition artists. Participants in the pool will also be eligible for a bonus art raffle with rewards of additional art not in the original collection and Moonbirds + Oddities.
❗ Why It Matters
After the claim opened for members holding a Day One pass last week, many holders with multiple passes ended up receiving multiples of the same art work instead of art from multiple artists based on their preferences.
The Diamond Exhibition mint has now reopened today, and a re-roll mechanism has been implemented to allow holders to re-shuffle their Day One airdrops. Perhaps this will alleviate some of the furor and outrage from last week.

- Diamond Exhibition Airdrop Begins: Claim Your Art! (April 27, 2023)
Today, Moonbirds announced that the claim period for Mythic Eggs starts April 17.
The Deets
- The Mythic Eggs are part of Moonbirds' upcoming PFP collection, Moonbirds Mythics.
- There are three categories of Mythic Eggs: Stone Eggs, Runic Eggs, and Legendary Eggs.
- The language of the tweet suggests that those with Diamond Nests have a higher chance of producing rarer Moonbird Mythics.
❗ Why It Matters
Moonbirds Mythics represent the first 'official' expansion of the Moonbirds ecosystem and come at a pivotal moment for PROOF.
At the time of writing, the PROOF Collective Pass has a floor price of 12.5 ETH, and Moonbirds have a floor price of 3.2 ETH (down -33% and -50%, respectively, from the beginning of March).
The reception of the new Moonbirds Mythics collection will likely be a bellwether for the future of the PROOF ecosystem.
🔙 Back It Up
- Mythics are a 20,000 PFP collection and feature a unique distribution mechanism, with nested birds randomly selected each day to receive a Mythic egg (only 25 will hatch each day). There is no cap on how many Mythics each bird can hatch.
- Each Moonbird was rewarded with an airdrop of Oddities in July 2022. Moonbirds Oddities are 10,000 'pellets' from artist Gremplin and feature a future burn mechanic related to the upcoming Moonbirds Mythics collection.
- Nesting is the staking mechanism for Moonbirds and takes rarity into account as a multiplier to the length of time that NFTs are nested. Nesting level will have some sort of influence on the new Mythic Egg claim.

PROOF co-founders, Kevin Rose and Justin Mezzell hosted a live stream to align both PROOF and Moonbirds on its "North Star" - art.
❗ Why It Matters
Sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative in the PROOF ecosystem of late, with uncertainty surrounding the brand, its mission, and the future for holders of PROOF Passes and Moonbirds NFTs. While not every holder will have heard what they wanted to in the update, PROOF's transparency provided a welcome reprieve from a spiral of negative speculation in which Rose and Mezzell provided insight into what has failed, what has worked, and what the future holds for both collections in order to execute on PROOF's mission.
The Deets
Two foundational points came from PROOF's in today's update - the team believes that "art is proof of our collective humanity" and the purpose of PROOF is "to create unique experiences for collectors to connect with artists to own and champion their art."
While thematic support was a bulk of the conversation, the team also gave an update on some upcoming changes to collections and the ecosystem, some of the most notable are indicated below:
- Moonbirds Elders: Once the PROOF pass ends on Jan. 1, 2025 - current holders will be cemented as Moonbirds Elders, as part of unifying the Moonbirds and PROOF Passes collections. Elders will have "boosters" which increase chances at exclusive drops and events.
- As the "Art Collector's PFP" the Moonbirds mission will expand with a core focus on:
- Art: curations, drops, collections, etc
- Information: sharing the story of the art, artists, and collectors
- Community: connecting collectors and artists via live and virtual events
- Wen token? "Token not dead, actively being worked on - but also have to have supportive ecosystem in place," said Kevin Rose.
- Moonbirds Nesting: Diamond will be final tier, Diamon Exhibition reward coming on Apr. 18.
- Moonbirds Oddities: An art project, and solely that. Will be burnable for Moonbirds Mythics Egg.
- Moonbirds Mythics: Lower cost of entry to PROOF ecosystem, will have re-roll mechanic, but will not be eligible for art drops.
