👀 On Friday I doubled down on my commitment to digital collectibles by agreeing to acquire most of the assets of @CandyDigital (https://t.co/MGGOC2fmLg). When the transaction closes in a week or two, I will also serve as CEO. 💪

My view is that the sustained value of digital collectibles of all kinds requires transparency, security, liquidity, scarcity, and desirability. https://t.co/MGGOC2fmLg intends to provide all five of those benefits for past and future fans. Agentic and #AI commerce will cause velocity and value to soar where crypto rails make transactions easy and clear digital ownership and rock solid authenticity exist. 🔥

https://t.co/MGGOC2fmLg will operate by a few simple values on my watch: the Golden Rule for all involved; respect for licensor brands and artists; relentless focus on fan experience; frequent communication often from me.💪

My email address is [email protected] for those who want to reach me directly. Please follow @CandyDigital as well for more communication. Our site has been in maintenance mode — frustrating (I know!) — but our many fans are about to have their patience rewarded.🙏

More details on the platform, relaunch, and some dazzling new collectibles and #NFTs you can’t get anywhere else are coming as soon as we close the deal. 👍

We’re not starting over on https://t.co/MGGOC2fmLg. We’re picking up something extraordinary and making it better. 📈🔥🚀‼️

Please join me to write the next chapter of https://t.co/MGGOC2fmLg. 🫡

i think it's safe to say doodles AI is a hit.

millions of impressions. 10k users. 30k generations and growing. one illustration used to take us a full day to make. at that pace, in just 72 hours, you've helped us create 82 years worth of art.

@One1sOfficial @packrush @soldthebottom Appreciate the shout out and glad to hear your issue got resolved quick.

Broke a record at @PackRush 👇

51 features + improvements shipped in ONE WEEK.

Two months ago I tasked my best engineer to improve how we use AI on the frontend. Here’s what’s working

1 engineer-in-the-loop: audits AI reviews, upgrades rules/skills, stress tests harder tasks, manage conflicts

2 idea guys: originate features, make fast calls, kill feedback loops

claude: generation, review, revisions

design system & figma MCP: consistent UI

This setup is getting noticeably better every week. We occasionally tag the full eng team for review and quality is confirmed improving.

51 PRs is nice. The real win is compounding: ship → find gaps → improve the tools or your command of the tools → ship even faster.

two years in the making. creating a 25k collection that lived up to the original doodles magic wasn't easy.. but it’s a labor of love, and i’m proud of the result.

four years in, doodles has never had a secondary character collection. i was apprehensive about making one. i didn’t want another trivial spin-off. it needed to add to our world.. a complementary layer of variation, something with the right ingredients for gamification, something that speaks to new markets, and above all.. the art had to slap. doopies achieves this.

to the doodles community: you've been here since the start, this is for you. thank you for sticking with us and believing in what we’re creating.

to everyone about to join us: welcome to our weird and wonderful world.

6 months ago we started building @packrush and today we’re live.

I’ve been building products in crypto for over a decade. I’ve felt and experienced massive success and also had countless things blow up in my face.

In 2013, I launched @PredictBits. A prediction market for Bitcoin. One of the first. Just as it went into beta, Mt. Gox got hacked and crypto imploded. As if that wasn’t bad enough, my site got hacked too. Customer deposits gone, Twitter gone, all of my BTC gone.

Total devastation. I had to walk away.

I returned to Crypto in 2017 and eventually joined @DapperLabs to work on @CryptoKitties. I was the Product lead. In case you weren’t there - CK created a wave of adoption and onboarded 100k+ normies without the UX we have today. It IS the first NFT and I’ll die on that hill.

By day I was working on making breeding & collecting CK more exciting. By night I was racing cats/horses/pigs on-chain and launching NFT/DeFi experiments. It wasn’t long before our team caused an even bigger wave with @NBATopShot. I found myself ripping packs and aiding the team as a product manager for bugs & customer experience. Everything was on fire but I loved every minute of it.

One of my regrets from this cycle was not having an answer for the P2E waves my good friend @Jihoz_Axie caused and not going hard on early signs of crypto’s iGaming product-market fit.

In 2021 I left Dapper to build Doodles with @burnttoast, @evankeast and we quickly became a big name in NFTs. When top teams jump on a wave, success can quickly follow, but good luck if you’re a tourist.

My biggest learning: ride the waves, keep convictions. I’ve watched teams launch into perfect narratives and fail because they weren’t truly in love with the trenches. Talent matters, but obsession is the edge. Put those together and you 10x the result.

This note is for the founder hesitant to ride a wave, and for the one pivoting to every new meta. I’d build PackRush in any market. The same way I built that prediction market before the headlines. The difference now is a team I trust.

@packrush is here. A culmination of my product experience and obsessions with a world class team in: @ianPun_ my goat CTO and fellow Dapper alum, @soldthebottom COO, @hedgedhog7 CSO

Packs are booming. Prediction markets are booming. iGaming is booming.

It’s time to ride another wave.
