Latest PROOF Collective Pass News
PROOF founder Kevin Rose shared a sneak peek of the 3D world that Mona (@monaverse) has been building as a virtual home for the Moonbirds community.
What if we had a place to host events, connect, explore art, have conversations, and get out of discord for some fun. Coming soon, Moonbirds X MONA pic.twitter.com/TvYdXTwQIs

❗ Why It Matters
PROOF has a lot of ongoing projects and different ideas planned for the future, to put it lightly. But today Kevin Rose shared a simpler aspiration: a Moonbirds presence in Mona, a 3D world-building platform, and a web3 social network for the metaverse.
The intention of the partnership is to facilitate community experiences, including live town halls, art reveals, and viewing parties.
The concept appears reminiscient of what both Punk6529 and Chimpers built on OnCyber, which is also a metaverse platform and similarly allows holders to congregate virtually and even show off curated art on walls within buildings.

- A Comprehensive Guide to Moonbirds NFTs (April 4, 2023)
- PROOF + Moonbirds Community Council Created (April 25, 2023)
- Re-Shuffle Coming for Diamond Exhibition (April 28, 2023)
Moonbirds will create a new smart contract to allow Day One Diamond Exhibition art holders to shuffle any duplicated results.
🧐 Wait, What?
Yesterday the claim opened for members holding a Day One pass for the Diamond Exhbition claim. And while many received their work without issue, lots of holders with multiple passes ended up receiving multiples of the same art work, instead of art from multiple artists according to their preferences. Find a more detailed thread about the issue here.
The Deets
- Smart contract for art deposit and exchange
- Additional rare art and Moonbirds + Oddities added to pool
- Diamond Exhibition mint reopening post-reshuffle
The Details
Due to concerns regarding the Day One Diamond Exhibition experience, PROOF is quickly acting to rectify an issue. A new smart contract will be introduced, allowing users to deposit their Diamond Exhibition art and receive a new piece from the collection.
PROOF will also add in Moonbirds and Oddities to the exchange as a bonus. The Diamond Exhibition mint will reopen for Mint Pass holders and new Diamond Nested birds once the reshuffling process is complete. Those interested in participating in the Reshuffle are advised to wait for further updates.
❗️Why It Matters
It's unfortunate that such a major event ended with a notable issue, one large enough to pause the entire Diamond Exhibition mint. Despite making small strides in recent months to regain momentum as part of its art focus, PROOF takes a few steps back on the failed execution for Day One nesters. Nevertheless, the team did speak up quickly and is rectifying the issue...a small victory.
🎤 Founder Feedback
We're going to work tirelessly to make things right. To honor those of you who have been here. To honor our incredible creative contributors whose work deserves all of the headlines and attention. To honor those community members who have been here and who continue to show up everyday. I'm sorry to anyone who had to deal with that overshadowing what should have been an absolute banger for all involved. We're going to make this right.Justin Mezzell
📊 By the Numbers
Moonbirds fell on the event, down nearly 11 percent in the last 24 hours to 2.38 ETH.
🎬Take Action
If you're interested in participating in the Reshuffle, keep an eye out for updates and instructions on how to deposit your Diamond Exhibition art for exchange.
The Diamond Exhibition's Day One Pass submission window has closed, allocation is complete, and the airdrop is now underway for Diamond Nesters collectors announced the team.
❗Why It Matters
This is an awesome opportunity for MoonBirds holders to collect awesome art and have a similar experience to collecting as the Proof Collective. In addition, it's the team's way of staying true to their mission of becoming the "Art Collector's" PFP.
The Deets
- Collection opens to all Diamond Nesters at 12 pm PDT (3 PM EST)
- Diamond-nested Moonbird holders can mint or claim tradable Mint Passes
- Unused Day One passes converted to regular Mint Passes
The Details
The Diamond Exhibition has successfully closed. If you have a Diamond-nested Moonbird but didn't get a Day One pass, don't worry – you can still head to the PROOF website after 12 pm PT to either mint your favorite remaining piece or claim a tradable Mint Pass.
For those who missed the Day One submission window, any unused Day One passes have been converted into regular Mint Passes. This means you'll have the opportunity to grab your favorite piece from the remaining collection.

If you missed the Day One Pass submission window, visit the PROOF website after 12 pm PT to mint your favorite remaining piece or claim a tradable Mint Pass.

Today, Moonbirds announced the formation of a PROOF + Moonbirds Community Council.
- 10 community members were nominated by holders to represent the wants, needs, and desires of the PROOF and Moonbirds community.
- The council will meet bi-weekly with PROOF leadership to give feedback, share ideas, and keep an open line of communication between PROOF and the community.
- PROOF’s new Community Council members include: @marloljohnson, @EBMDCrypto, @yukokosaka, @KyleRiggins, @cropcircle_eth, @AxuETH, @Lakoz_, @philip_yoong, @DrewBarman, @maskzilla_eth
❗ Why It Matters
The newly formed Community Council is intended to create more opportunities for collaboration within the community and serve as one feedback channel for the PROOF team. Other projects like Gutter Cat Gang and Doodles have formed similar types of focus groups or councils recently to address grievances within their respective communities; it doesn't always work out in the sense that it ultimately still falls on the team to execute on newly presented suggestions and crowdsourced ideas, but it's a good step to take nonetheless.

Moonbirds announced its exclusive Diamond Exhibition NFT drop, featuring 10,000 artworks by 22 artists, on April 27.
The Deets
- Day One Diamond Nest "Choice Pass" airdrop on April 18
- Choice Pass preference selection from April 24 to April 27

The Details

The Diamond Exhibition is a collection of 10,000 digital artworks created by 22 admired artists, each with unique artwork, perspectives, and stories. Some of the featured artists include Dirty Robot, Summer Wagner, Terrell Jones, Mindz Eye, and 0xdgb.
❗️Why It Matters
The Moonbirds Diamond Exhibition is a signature event for Moonbirds holders, many of whom have felt under-rewarded when compared to PROOF Collective Passes and adjacent NFT ecosystems. Neverthless, PROOF has ensured Moonbirds holders that it is committed to making them the art collector's PFP and those that have loyally "nested" since Day 1 will have a rare opportunity to collect from some of the most notable artists in the space thanks to PROOF's connections. Might this be a tipping point for PROOF sentiment?

PROOF announced the raffle winners for its upcoming IRL event which hosts a live Beeple Everydays creation, with special accommodations for waitlisted and at-home attendees.
❗Why It Matters
Despite being met with negative sentiment at the cancelation of PROOF of Conference, the PROOF ecosystem still held plenty of demand for its Beeple event, one of four events the brand will host during NFT NYC next week. Despite some turnover in holder base, and declining floor prices, the company still has connections to some of the most notable artists in the space, a major advantage for a PROOF community that is now all in on art.
The Details
In an effort to include as many attendees as possible, PROOF has also introduced a waitlist ticket system. Those on the waitlist will have a separate line at the event and are encouraged to arrive early for a chance to gain entry.
All lucky winners and waitlisters must set up Tokenproof to redeem their tickets, ensuring a seamless process for entry into the exclusive event.
For those who cannot attend in person, a private token-gated live stream has been arranged, accessible to the entire PROOF Collective, @moonbirds, and @oddities_xyz communities.
