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 events
- The team’s SXSW activation with Shopify
- How founders can avoid bots when launching a project
- How the Doodles DAO ecosystem functions
- The founders’ longterm visions for Doodles
