This is epic.
@DeGodsNFT & @y00tsNFT holders now have access to personalised profiles on the degods website where you can do the following:
- Showcase your collection
- Update your bio and display picture
- Unlock custom skins based on holdings
Devs cooked with this!
New thread for the sake of organization RE: @kevindegods@PixelRainbowNFT (and @pastagotsauce@0x_chill FWIW)
Maybe this is a playbook others can learn from, though DeGods was a specific time/place with the right group of people to make this work.
Aside from everything outlined below - the "ROI for events" shoulda served as a way to create stronger IRL bonds with members to facilitate trust on profit opportunities.
We tried some shit with this, but it was a poor target: that thing early last year where various Solana projects were buying X number of DeGods and y00ts for financial incentive. But there were no incentives to financial(ize?)
Contrast:
- New blockchains need liquidity and attention.
- The dapps on those blockchains need it even more.
- They'll preload these bonuses with future airdrops and high APYs.
- Using both network and app layers = excellent ROI for providing liquidity.
Something that REALLY sucks for devs on these new chains is a struggle to retain users and keep the ecosystem growing once the initial liquidity incentives have dried up. Berachain being a perfect example (everyone is seriously awesome, I've been happy to get massive APYs and airdrop points at the lows here, expect a strong rebound)
As a user, I've got a remarkable amount of freedom, because I'm not tied to any specific chain or dapp.
The founders and devs are.
The best opportunity in here is . . . having opportunities.
I'm not the best trader. I don't have to be.
Move liquidity into the best spots for growth. The rest takes care of itself.
The core problem, ultimately, is/was this narrow-minded mentality of "Well no one wants to buy NFTs". All the focus was on the volume/floor price of the JPEGs. "What can I do for Number Go Up?" is looking for an answer to the wrong question.
DeGods were Solana Degen culture before Solana Degen culture went mainstream.
Appropriately: we never grew up.
You'll remember: I was the guy banging his head against the wall trying to get the community to come around on this.
You are now here.
Outside of Solana: Berachain BGT rewards, RWA T-Bill flywheels, infinite utility through @plumenetwork, Sonic fees, validator rewards and partnerships, etc.
Follow opportunities wherever they are.
Forever.
DeGods had the cult mentality, whales, and desire to just win for the fuck of it and max out these spots. The community woulda been a true asset to any project/network ready to launch in terms of marketing, exposure and even hit KPIs.
Pick an 7-8 figure wallet at random on DeBank. Any wallet.
That's what the DeGods treasury coulda/shoulda looked like.
But big money acts like dumb money when it doesn't know how smart money operates.
The reason most NFT projects fail isn't because they lack business sense or have a poor roadmap.
Too many parties and useless merch drops.
It's ok to launch a collection without a fully formed business, but preserving runway should always be the priority.
Parties don't bring new holders.
To all the @DeGodsNFT out there!!!
Lets get back to, like every post from another DeGod! Retweet! Bring DeGods back to be the number 1 talked about NFT!
LFG 🫡
DEGODS! DEGODS! DEGODS! DEGODS!
