Doodles: Everything to Know

Overview

Doodles are a collection of digital characters designed as non fungible tokens (NFTs). They exist on the blockchain. An investor can acquire, sell, or trade a Doodle within the Doodle ecosystem. Doodles are decentralized digital items that an investor can acquire to build wealth. They also allow owners to interact. Users can exchange the characters and accessories related to them.

A Brief History

Three artists launched Doodles on October 17, 2021. These were Evan Keast, also known as Tulip, Scott Martin, aka Burnt Toast, and Jordan Castro, aka Poopie. The artists were already known for creating other NFTs before creating Doodles. The artists created Doodles because they wanted to establish a community-driven NFT project. They hoped this project would stand out in the digital art and collectibles space of Web3.

NFTs in OG Doodles started at a mint price of 0.123 ETH. They reached a peak of 20 ETH in May 2022. The high price demonstrates these NFTs' popularity and the success possible in the NFT market.

In September 2022, Doodles raised $54 million in equity funding. The effort had the support of Seven Seven Six , aka 776, a venture capital firm headed by Alexis Ohanian , the co-founder of Reddit. The funding from 776 has played a significant role in the growth and success of Doodles. This funding enabled the Doodles team to further expand the project.

What are Doodles?

Doodles is a collection of NFTs in the form of unique digital characters. There are accessories associated with these NFTs, which are digital spaceships, toys, and clothes. Each Doodle is a hand-drawn digital art piece. The term "Doodles" also refers to the community of users which own, buy, sell, and trade these NFTs.

The original Doodles, or OG Doodles, were on the Ethereum blockchain. There are 10,000 of these Doodles. The next generation of Doodles, known as Doodles 2, launched on the Flow blockchain in January 2023. Ownership of a Doodle or Doodles 2 allows a user access to the respective Doodles community. An owner has voting rights in the community. They can purchase other Doodles products and participate in Doodles-related events. An owner becomes part of the founders' team. The goal of this team is to develop a roadmap for the community.

A Doodles owner can delve further into the ecosystem by getting involved with Space Doodles. A Space Doodle is an NFT token that wraps an original Doodle. In order to get a Space Doodle, an owner transfers a Doodle in and gets a Space Doodle out. At any time, the owner can hold either a Doodle or a Space Doodle, never both. The Doodles ecosystem enforces this through smart contract logic.

A Doodles 2 owner can get further involved with their ecosystem by customizing their Doodle. A Doodles 2 character can be customized with clothing and accessories. There are crossover tools. For example, the Dooplicator allows an owner to create wearables, or clothes, from OG Doodles for a Doodles 2 character.

Getting Started
