A 🧵 on something new I’m working on:
Back in 2022 when launching
@StarcatchersNFT
, I was able to meet some of the brightest folks I could have ever met. Among those was a group of very talented ex-Google engineers.
We all became good friends and given the background that we
(1/7) Sharing what I wrote on discord:
I woke up this morning to find the twitter thread. Needless to say I feel backstabbed and betrayed. When this transaction occurred, I didn't check the metadata because only the founders had access to it.
(1/8) Tomorrow will be the launch of our delegate system for the community treasury alongside with the details on how to use it. I'm proud to announce that we will be the first NFT brand in history to implement the delegation of the ERC-721 token 💫
Here's why this is important:

drew for
@StarcatchersNFT
.
This week, her art was shown in the biggest billboard at Times Square to commemorate a partnership with a multi-billion dollar company.
1/3 Today I announced to my team that we’ll be having Flex Friday’s every week starting 3/14. This means that they can stop doing what they’re working on to work on things they always wanted to work on for Starcatchers, or pursue their passion projects, or take off completely.
After having dinner with
@cloncast
,
@ItsTymo
, and
@GeegNft
I'm incredibly bullish on the future of
@coolcatsnft
.
I found my forever cat and forever grateful for all the support clon and team has given the stars. We love the cats 💫
This has been nothing short of a dream. Thank you
@AEO
💫
I’ll be posting a longer thread about everything we’ve done this week and what’s to come soon.
Also - major shoutout to
@arialxjade
for insane quality in the art she’s been putting out!!!
This has been one of the most upsetting things I've ever read in my life. I'm disappointed in myself for not doing further digging into who we bought this from beforehand.
Thank you
@mehdeegbr
for uncovering this. You have my word I'm looking into this.
In the coming days I’ll be announcing some very major updates to Starcatchers. I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come and the people we’re bringing on to help us create the vision we set out to build ✨
I wanted to personally tweet out the new star of one of our most valued members of the community
@ethbuds902
. Thank you for everything you do for the
@StarcatchersNFT
community 💫
2/3 Why did I do this? Because I trust my team to make sure the work gets done. We’re all adults here and there shouldn’t be the expectation that it takes a whole work week to finish what needs to get done. On top of that, there needs to be a better division of work life balance.
If you don't understand the significance of Google Ventures investing into
@yugalabs
y'all should read up. This is an insane bet from a Tier 1 VC and a huge nod to web3 and the legitimacy of the space as a whole.
Investments like this will shift the landscape in incredible ways.
3/3 Web3 has been the best experience of my life so far but it shouldn’t be this all-consuming thing. My team deserves to live their life the way they choose and not be constantly bogged down by work.
Went to the
@doodles
event on Thursday. Community is still as strong as ever and I got to see so many OG holders from when I first joined the community.
Very impressed with the execution lately.
Looking to scoop up two more.
Okay guys, the time has arrived. I'm giving away 10 Starcatcher pins to the 10 worst starcatcher art drawings.
Post your art on this tweet. I'll announce the winners in exactly one week from today. Make me cry 🥲
I never thought I’d have people actively setting up twitter spaces to talk about Starcatchers. It still blows my mind that we have such an amazing and devoted community. I can’t be more thankful to you all.
