Doodles: Closing the Gap Between URL and IRL

Evan Keast (AKA Tulip) and Jordan Castro (AKA Poopie) are two of the co-founders of Doodles, one of the leading profile picture projects (PFP) in the NFT space. The collection of 10,000 generative NFTs has amassed more than 102,700 ETH in sales volume ($305,016,749) since its launch in October 2021. Doodles features original art created by third co-founder, Scott Martin (AKA Burnt Toast), who produced hundreds of unique visual traits for the collection. While many avatar projects market themselves as community-centered, Doodles has been about empowering their community from the very start. The team is all about working to bridge the gap between URL and IRL with multi-city takeovers, activations, installations, and more. In this episode we cover:The importance of building community through IRL eventsThe team’s SXSW activation with ShopifyHow founders can avoid bots when launching a projectHow the Doodles DAO ecosystem functions The founders’ longterm visions for DoodlesTo listen to the audio version of this episode, go to http://smarturl.it/nftnowTo sign up for the nft now newsletter where we break down the NFT market into actionable insights each week, go to: https://www.nftnow.com To follow Evan Keast on Twitter, go here: https://twitter.com/​​evankeastTo follow Jordan Castro on Twitter, go here:https://twitter.com/poopieTo follow Evan Keast on Instagram, go here: https://instagram.com/evankeast To follow Jordan Castro on Instagram, go here: https://instagram.com/jordan.f.castro Hosted on Acast.
