Building trust one artist at a time
(Ongoing throughout project)
The DegenDude Project is designed to grow a garden not to build a rocket ship. The deliberate slow growth mentality establishes trust with the community through small releases of 10-20 new artists at a time.
Don’t get us wrong we love rocket ships but onboarding artists should be done with intention and individual consideration to make the best possible outcome.
The slow growth approach also allows us to learn as we grow making sustainable growth possible as we iron out any bumps in our process while we prove the viability of the concept.
Educating artists new to NFTs
(Currently 80% Completed)
NFTs have empowered Artists to be free of Web2 constraints and controls. However there are still considerable barriers to entry for Artists on boarding into the NFT space.
One of the goals of the DegenDude Project is to support and educate Artists coming into the NFT space.
We will do this through community support but also by giving each DegenDude Artist a Free Guide to NFTs to help them navigate the complexities of the space with knowledge and safety.
The DegenDude Guidebook will be a living document that can be used for free use by all our Artists and it will be maintained by a core group of editors and contributors who continually update the rapidly changing information in the NFT space.
On-boarding platform for artists
(Currently 65% Completed)
With DegenDudes™ Artists don’t need 3D experience to create a 3D digital figurine.
Streamlining the on boarding process is essential to our growth.
We are developing easy to use reference materials including video tutorials that Artists can follow to create the best possible DegenDude utilizing all the tips and tricks.
We will also use a lot of automation processes and Ai where possible to reduce the timeframe and workload required to make each DegenDude released a success.
Product development with Mighty Wallet
(Activated at 20 Artists)
DegenDude will be releasing Special Limited Edition Mighty Wallets by Degen Artists*
*Artists will be chosen and curated to have their work printed and sold through www.mightywallet.shop and also distributed and sold around the world giving more exposure to those Artist’s work.
Partnership development with IRL Brands
(Activated at 50 Artists)
As IRL brands look to NFTs as an opportunity to explore a developing marketplace DegenDudes™ will build partnerships with IRL brands to explore opportunities for our artists to create clothing, accessories, home goods etc through partnerships leveraging the talent of the DegenDude community.
AR Viewer for DegenDude Holders
(Activated at 100 Artists)
DegenDude™ seeks to utilize AR technology for our community members to show off their DegenDudes™ in their own environment.
AR will encourage more social sharing and awareness of the project while also building a deeper connection between holders and their DegenDudes.
Blending the digital world with our IRL environment can also take the form of “group shows” that utilize AR as a window to see the DegenDudes™ as sculptures in Art exhibitions held by community members in cities around the world.
DegenDude 3D Characters IRL
(Activated at +200 Artists with secret snapshot of hodlers of top ranked DegenDudes)
Special Releases are being planned for our most successful “10x Degen Artists”. Artists who complete all 10 of their DegenDude™ Characters become 10x Degens with special recognition on our site. Those who rank at the top of the Degen Dude Artist’s sales will be chosen for special IRL character drops.
