Vision

To build an NFT project from the ground up. Documenting the learning and collaboration between two friends, @otterOlie and @elf_floating that come from a background of trading shitcoins at maximum gas and an almost definite rug potential. We choose to build this project for ourselves as a learning experience, and are inviting you along for the ride. The concept of the art is what we want it to be. It has slowly evolved from Elfin’s shill material for meme coins into where we are now.

The art is where we want it, our social media is in check, and now we are looking to populate our community with like-minded degens who want to learn but also participate.

Mindset

We rather build our project than constantly overpromise and under deliver like many other projects. Think a staking pool funded by the royalties collected from OpenSea, allowing the holders to be rewarded for their diamond hands and continued support and trust in the project.

All decisions that will change the outcome of the project will be voted on as a DAO using snapshot, once the project has completely minted out.

Developed as passion project not a profit project, we plan on sticking around long-term.

We are here for the web3 culture, appreciate the art. Naps, degen moves and token apes at 4am is the vibe, we want to do this with more people as we continue to grow our community.

The team

Founders @otterOlie and @floating_elfin have been friends for around 8 years, currently living in different hemispheres, and decided to combine our skills and previous experience to build dojoDegen. We had a few ideas for various NFT projects, but settled on the goofy, feel good dojo as we want it to be a welcoming, easy going and approachable pfp.

otter comes from a background of web3 business strategy and marketing with a passion for web3 development.

elfin comes from an architecture background, and is currently in the film industry. Along with a heavy interest in graphic design, he is also in the process of scriptwriting for various projects, the dojo drawings are an IRL release and escape for him.

We are looking for a community manager, if you have a strong background in NFT’s and have an interesting story about how you got to where you are now (reading this) please reach out via Twitter.

The goal

Stage 1. To begin with, we plan to hit some community size targets of 1k, 5k, 10k +. We want to mint out as soon as possible, leading into the development of our cartoon series. Wearable fashion line, more than just hoodies. Our collection is limited to 4420 NFT’s, we will never extend our collection these are a limited non-fungible token not a tap that can turned on for more NFT’s. We have seen this happen time over time as the community grows, the floor price increases and the team decides to add more NFT’s to the collection. Shortly after this, the floor price drops and the community begins to cannibalize itself.

Our plans

Tap into different audiences as we bridge token oriented people into NFT’s, providing a platform with the correct information to further educate them as we endeavour to be the first NFT they mint.

This endeavour started as we made new friends in web3 (twitter spaces), reconnected with old friends and began to share our experiences along the way.

The goal is to build a platform to help others follow alongside our pathway as they build their own projects, we provide support through marketing, contract deployment, advise on minting and file storage. Let’s call it the dojo standard for now, this service will only be available to holders.

Final statement;

about dojoDegen //finding peace within the inner degen

my name is elfin i am an artist who has recently found inner peace by developing illustrations for various crypto currency tokens. from telegram stickers, music and movie posters to apparel. these different mediums have allowed me to further develop myself as an illustrator and develop my unique visual language. i express positivity through my illustrations, i do not talk so much but when i do it is only words of support for meaningful discussion with the sole goal to promote good vibes. i wanted my art to come to the next level, from twitter post and coin banner to the NFT space, i have come here to make friends with my art, not to make money from my art. everything i have learnt has been self taught, every part of this project will be shared and we (dogoDegens) are constantly looking to collaborate with like minded projects and make new internet frens.

the degen lives in all of us, at certain moments we all stare at the screen for too long thinking red is green and green is red whilst the world spins and before u know it the sun is up and u need to drink a nice glass of water and pass out..

dojoDegen //why are we here

the irl realm to the spirit realm and the moments in between we aim to capture, a smile of the face as u unlock ur phone, a moment where u ponder on a cloud as the breeze from the fan moves around ur room.. little moments ppl forget and don’t store for very long we wish to be able to store them for u in the dojo.. a place of kinship and growth where stories can be shared and ppl can feel at home in their little pocket of web3 and beyond. degens are relatable, void of skin colour, age and geographic boundaries. a DojoDegen can be anything you want it to be, the relatable traits are generated to spike curiosity about where they came from and where they are going.

dojoDegen roadmap? //wats a roadmap?

“journey, it’ll happen..

destination, to give back”

all degens holding a dojoDegen are allowed entry and membership into our community, filled with giveaways, contests, and collaborations with other projects. degens only have good vibes and kindness we are helpful and always online. This mindset is the foundation of our brand using the art to kick start and build a strong community of degens from throughout our planet. our values and engagement inside our community will flow outwards to help other communities throughout not only the NFT space but into the real life realm.

clothing 4 degens — stickers, free NFT’s, prints, community products, profits will be shared and injected back into the dojoDegens. there will be no fat wallet, profits are shared with the members of the community.

collabs — we will back and support any talented artist that connects with us, we plan to establish a launchpad for the future NFT projects that are willing to share our same values. this will include support designing, minting and promoting your project. the degen is not only a pfp but a ticket to ride.

discord is now open to anyone who can find the link

don’t forget to say GM + GN to the DojoDegen, he has an amazing memory.

we are investing heavily in our community, we will always have giveaways. after minting we will have our first appeal drop, stay tuned, word on the street says @elf_floating is already rocking a v1 pre mint in rl.
