Doodles

[Doodlebank Discussion] https://forum.doodles.app/t/team-scaling-proposal-v2/1871

The next chapter has begun and we’re incredibly excited to continue building best-in-class experiences for our collectors and fans with the vision to bring Doodles into the homes of millions.

We’ve flexed our muscles with the release of Space Doodles showing the world what we’re capable of with a lean team. It’s time to scale that up and build Doodles for the masses. Here are this year’s NFT-track focused problems we’d like to solve,

• Create a mainstream NFT purchasable with a credit card that is cross-licensed from our collectors’ Doodles. We become responsible for building the platform, collectors experience, and demand. Collectors license their Doodle to us so that we can create/sell officially licensed derivatives (as an example) on their behalf. Collectors earn a share of the revenue.

• Establish the lore of Doodles and take advantage of cross-media opportunities to bring Doodles in front of millions Incredibly amazing Space Doodles experience that is additive to #1 and solves its tragedy of the commons problem through economy design and intelligent sinks

• Upgrade without dilution v2 - a friendly vampire attack on the entire NFT ecosystem to make everyone a member of our universe in a way that adds direct value to Doodlers and avoids dilution

• Legal trademarking and copyright filing, defense and enforcement

We aim to innovate with (3) L-XL sized products this year with the help of our developer partners and long-time blockchain partners/friends. In comparison, Space Doodles was a medium-sized (M) release.
