minted out in minutes on October 8th, 2021 for 3 SOL and gained notoriety as a premiere PFP project w/in the SOL NFT eco
Early innovative ideas (like the Paper Hand B*tch Tax- a 33.3% tax on sec sales below mint price) were unsuccessful but the community was bought in
In Q1 the team introduced the $DUST ecosystem and DeGods staking causing listings to plummet and the floor price began its parabolic uptrend.
Early utility for $DUST revolved around p2e integration and other metaverse projects, but the intro of new art brought upon innovation.
The DeGod - DeadGod transformation
Listening to their community, artists
@SCUMSOL
,
@delilahdegods
, and
@sircandyapple
went back to work on revising the original DeGods artwork.
For 1,000 $DUST and 1 DeGod, holders could acquire a DeadGod providing boosted $DUST staking rewards
In May,
@DeGodsNFT
announced their second collection

.
But, in early July the Duppies plan was scrapped and Frank & company went back to the drawing board.
The one Duppies plan that stuck?

What are
@y00tsNFT
?
On the surface, y00ts are the stakable-PFP at the heart of a new Y00Topian ecosystem.
Beneath the surface?
y00ts are a groundbreaking digital fashion NFT bridging the gap between trad PFP projects and dynamic PFPs integrating avatar-wearable fashion.
Major takeaways of the Ⓨ paper:
Ⓨ is to be seen as the copyright of the y00ts ecosystem.
Staked y00ts will receive one Ⓨ token every 30 days (max 6 Ⓨ tokens) to be used in the y00ts st0re.
The y00ts st0re will be the epicenter of sub-groups and dynamic PFP fashion.
Each Ⓨ token will give holders the opportunity to make a monthly customizable trait change to their y00t
This will not allow holders to drastically change their y00t as the metadata cannot change (ex: can't add a hoodie to your y00t, but could change color/design of hoodie)
With the increase of trad fashion brands entering web3 (Tiffany x Punks, Nike x RTFKT) you can imagine brands & creators wanting to create a desirable Ⓨ trait for a % of royalties on trait-specific sales
The caveat?
No more user-generated traits will be accepted after 6 mos
'We tried some shit,
we learned some shit,
and now we're trying new shit.'
This is the type of leadership you want to push the space forward.
@frankdegods
and the rest of the

team are cooking up something special w/
@y00tsNFT
- prepare accordingly 🤝
@y00tsNFT
has a concept based on curating an nft community that will thrive through these dark times.
Pepe the frog has a meme concept.
What better way to go though these times than through memes?
Now what happens when pepe meets y00ts?
