Listening to @lokithebird space and hearing @betty_nft speak really irk’ed me. Going to call it as it is but hiding behind low price mint while having a 50k collection
is just another way of scamming people. You are preying on human emotion.
I don’t get it you have a project that you launched, you made life changing $$. But that’s not enough, you launched another project made probably a fair bit from mint instead of trying to grow the one that you already have.
We were told 50k is far too high a supply to sell out, told to put it on an L1, etc etc. We didn’t listen. Why? Because we felt the market was ready for a different kind of minting and collecting experience.
@GM_DFZ is one of the larger collections released now, and I would argue the highest effort mega volume collection that exists. So what did we do differently and why did it work? Well we wanted to bring in a new meta. Here’s some of my thoughts.
- High effort art. @psych_nft really did smash it out of the park. The pieces in this collection have been worked on for literally years. Mostly ready to go recently and iterated on until everything was absolutely perfect. Every single piece must be spectacular and completely unique. No copy paste traits we’ve seen time and time again. Holos to nod to the joy of pulling a shiny in a pokemon pack. From the brain of an absolute psycho artist that has let loose on colour, shape and concept.
- High volume. Supply is a touchy subject and many people have differing thoughts on this but we believe that people love collecting. In order for that to happen, to let people curate their own collections there needed to be ALOT. Who decided 10k was the standard? Well over time, the market did - but we wanted to try something new and we believed we had the ingredients to do it.
- Low price. We gave away many to our beloved @Deadfellaz Horde, allowing them the chance to mint for free before anyone else did. For everyone else we collaborated with existing communities on various stages of release, GTD, FCFS, and public. All at $1 this gave people the opportunity to collect quite a few, opening up the ability to trade and buy without worry of losing a lot of money. We wanted accessibility and no room for pricing woes.
- Collaborating with grassroots, community focussed groups with strong support. Ape Chain was something that was criticised as a choice, but we saw what happened when we released last year’s @Deadfellaz Infected collection and we have seen the enthusiasm and energy there over the past year. Passionate collectors that want to interact on a chain built for them. Working with @bleverxyz over some of the older launchpads was also intentional. The team are talented, hungry, and created an experience that was smooth and positive for everyone involved. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
In short, NFTs are NOT dead. IMO we just need to tap into the parts of the journey creators and collectors find joy in, and maybe change the status quo a bit. We hope you love @GM_DFZ as much as we do. Go forth and experiment. 👻 ⚙️
All the talk about NFT adoption but have we seen any of this being adopted on a consistent basis in the real world? Someone please point me to the project?

In love with this art and my Jira. Really struggling to avoid changing my PFP
@ChartDavidson Everyone is playing the IP card, how does OKB differentiate itself? Also if you can elaborate more on the partnership with IMG. Has there been any developments there since the partnership commenced? What can people look forward to?
