EDITOR 

Here we are #frens, issue 33 and 17 weeks running. The stats are 

looking fantastic as #Shill breaks the 5000 weekly views. Each zine 

is being viewed over 3000 times. 

#Shill has been working/sharing ideas over DM and Discord. It is 

really heartening to see individuals taking their ideas to the next step. 

@inbloom_sol has a new zine “IN BLOOM” https://bit.ly/3KytuR4 

The discussions I have had with @inbloom_sol show that they know 

where they want to go and how to get there. A unique approach in the 

NFT space generally- I’m glad to say that it is happening on #Solana. 

Think about it #anon. Of all the blockhains offering NFT services. 

With their highly active social media channels. Thousands of users. 

How many have a committed zine, and now artist showcase? If you 

know of one, please send me the link. Personally, I have not come 

across anything as consistent and community friendly as #Shill. 

Pretty soon we will have a built asset in “In Bloom” to access as well. 

Frankly, I’m excited for the space! 

I had the privilege during the week to be part of a Twitter Spaces 

headed by @DCodedNFT for the first round of auctions on 

@PhantomsSol. As the timers on the auctions made their way to 0, 

buyers were coming in propping the sales up to new highs. Overall, 

the PhantomsSol team made an impressive launch into the space. 

They are promising another 97 in the series, if this auction is anything 

to go by make sure you bring a bag of $Sol! A big congratulations to 

the PhantomsSol team- looking forward to your roadmap coming to 

life! 

Keep an eye out for the URS Crown auctions coming up on the 26 

and 27 January. This will be a one-off opportunity to gain access to 

one of the most productive and supportive NFT groups in the Solana 

ecosystem. Owning a crown opens up a 7-month subscription for 

fine art that is curated by the URS. 26 January will be fore whitelisted 

participants and the 27th is for the public. THIS should be on your 

list #anon.

#Shill has a couple of things in the works that should be coming to 

the surface over the next couple of issues. Guest writers covering 

the EU that #Shill has been sorely lacking in due to the constraints 

of time zones and new sections within #Shill covering a large part of 

the ecosystem that we have never touched on- gaming. 

We are kicking it off this issue with an insight into “Photo Finish”. 

For some of us it means nothing at all. For others it is an area of 

interest worth exploring. We have Barndog delivering the goods with 

a live video explainer behind the thinking and strategy he is taking 

as the project starts moving towards launch day. You get to see 

Barndog put his money where his mouth is! Barndog is indicative of 

your average Australian. Casual. A talker. To the point. If the project 

in gaming is shit, he WILL call it out. I am looking forward to more of 

his content in the zine. 

Anon, I impress upon you to carefully read the previous issues when 

it comes to finance. Read. Make an educated opinion. Don’t just 

be sitting in NFT. This space is more than just that. There was true 

#ALPHA going back to November when we first started including 

info about $Chest finance. Go back, follow the breadcrumbs before 

the opportunity passes you by! 

Finally, as I wrap up the editorial for this week, our cover design is by 

none other than Space GOATS who have been featured in #Shill for 

a while now. Their mint is closing in. Their art is just...art! The Space 

GOAT team is phenomenal, I have had the pleasure to listen to them 

talk in a Twitter Spaces. The team just gels together so nicely. And 

of course, there is the main artist E Merlin Murray who is not only the 

visual artist but also an aural artist in his own right! (Check out his 

work in one of the previous #Shill zines). The contents page features 

E Merlin Murray’s work that he ‘whipped up’ just for this issue! 

A big shout out to the Solanauts NFT project. The Commish, Centi 

and JCal just make the Discord community one of the best places 

to frequent. #Shill zine is truly honoured by your adding it to your 

website. Humbled. https://www.zeroglabs.io/community 

Whitelist opportunity if you read the interview carefully! 

Enough said. You know the drill. Let’s f go!

Solana NFT total sales 

volume crosses $1 billion 

by MK Manoylov January 19, 2022 

Non-fungible token (NFT) sales on the Solana blockchain surpassed $1 

billion in total volume in January of 2022, according to the NFT sales 

tracker CryptoSlam! 

Solana’s NFTs gained in popularity in the latter part of 2021 as Ethereum, 

the most popular blockchain for NFTs, experienced prohibitively high 

transaction fees. 

The first Solana NFT to break $1 million occurred on September 11, 

for a Degenerate Ape Academy NFT — part of a collection of 10,000 

algorithmically generated 3D primates. The most expensive Solana NFT 

sold for $2.1 million nearly a month later. 

Solana’s highest weekly trade volumes reached $160.39 million on 

August 29, 2021, according to data from The Block. However, trading 

volumes for Solana-based NFTs still pale in comparison with the 

Ethereum-based market, and Solana lacks high-profile NFT projects 

akin to Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks. 

Nonetheless, healthy investment in the Solana NFT space has continued 

into the new year, as seen with the NFT protocol Metaplex raising $46 

million through a SAFT sale on January 18. 

¡Las ventas de tokens no fungibles (NFT) en la cadena de Solana 

superaron los mil millones de dólares en volumen total en enero de

SHILL Issue #33

Los NFT de Solana ganaron popularidad en la última parte de 2021 cuando 

Ethereum, la cadena de bloques más popular para NFT, experimentó tarifas de 

transacción prohibitivamente altas. 

El primer NFT de Solana en romper $ 1 millón ocurrió el 11 de septiembre, 

para un NFT de Degenerate Ape Academy, parte de una colección de 10,000 

primates 3D generados algorítmicamente. El Solana NFT más caro se vendió 

por 2,1 millones de dólares casi un mes después. 

Los volúmenes comerciales semanales más altos de Solana alcanzaron los 

160,39 millones de dólares el 29 de agosto de 2021, según datos de The 

Block. Sin embargo, los volúmenes de comercio de NFT basados en Solana 

aún palidecen en comparación con el mercado basado en Ethereum, y Solana 

carece de proyectos NFT de alto perfil similares a Bored Ape Yacht Club y 

CryptoPunks. 

No obstante, la inversión saludable en el espacio Solana NFT ha continuado 

en el nuevo año, como se vio con el protocolo NFT Metaplex recaudando $ 46 

millones a través de una venta SAFT el 18 de enero.

What is Treasure Islands? 

The team explains in their official docs that Treasure Islands is not 

only a game but an entire DeFi ecosystem. The game has built out 

yield-generating structured product chests to DEXs, liquidity farms, 

and governance councils, all centered around utility and gameplaydriven 

NFTs and $CHEST.

Extinct Creatures 

Moon Club 

Recently many NFT projects have started offering a gamified version of their 

NFT to capture the community. What if there was something more noble? 

Something where you could feel and know that you were making a difference? 

Shill zine has the pleasure of catching up with @boltorium from the ECMC. 

Welcome to the zine. Tell us a little about the team behind ECMC. 

Hey, thanks for having me here. I ve been in crypto since 2018 and own a 

business IRL. Community building and marketing are my passions as well as 

travelling (which I almost forgot about now). I’m 35 yo, with 2 children. My 

partner and artist behind the project @workart_bob is my friend, we've known 

each other for like 10 years already, he is an illustrator, working with different 

brands and companies for more than 15 years as an in-house and outsource 

illustrator. 

Now about the Moonclub. How did the idea come about and why tie it to 

wildlife funds? 

The first project I minted on Solana was 

Trippy Bunny Tribe, it was a degen play, 

but I became a total fan of them and 

their community ever since. When they 

donated 100% of proceeds to charity, 

I thought this is how we can make an 

impact – merge art with charity and do 

something good. This is when the idea 

came to me, and I told everything I knew 

to @Workart_bob. The story line came to 

us unexpected, we thought about Dodo 

birds, the most famous extinct creatures 

of the last several centuries. Then we 

decided to make a story, that they have 

never become extinct, that they have 

moved to another metaverse, or another world, and we choose the Moon to be 

their residence home. The story was developing itself and we have found our 

Dodos on a mission to save the endangered animals on Earth. This became 

our Lore. 

You are one of the few NFT projects with an actual mission statement. Can 

you talk about your statement, what it means to the team and how your 

community see it? 

We say that we are saving endangered animals. This is our mission - to build 

26 


a project, which can be known 

for being good to our Earth 

and our little friends here. 

We are building a community 

which shares our vision. They 

are very excited that we are 

going to make several charity 

donations and so do we. If we 

look in the future, we can see 

a lot of opportunities to move 

on with this statement and 

develop ourselves as the NFT 

project supporting wildlife 

charity. You can do anything if 

you have a community which 

backs you up. This is what we 

are working on. 

Let’s have a look at your roadmap. 

We are starting with our first DODO collection, which will have 5555 pcs in it 

(with 10x 1/1) and more than 600+ traits. 

Other than some standard procedures (secondary market listings, holders’ 

verification, sales bots etc etc) we will start working on our second collection 

which is about to be dropped in April-May 2022. The unique aspect of 

this collection (Dodo Mutants Moon Club) will be in the fact that to get a 

mutant, you need to burn your Dodo NFT (our first collection). This will bring 

additional deflation aspects in the first 

collection and make it more valuable for 

our holders. 

ECMC DAO (holders) initiative is going 

to receive 25% of secondary sales % and 

they will be used according to holders' 

votes. 

We understand that any project needs 

money to get developed so we are 

allocating 20% of our mint proceeds for 

DAO and Development funds, to be able 

to explore the further developments 

paths (the last drop for 2022 will be 


a 3D NFT), which opens lots 

of opportunities for further 

development. 

Throughout 2022 year we are 

going to have 4 collection drops, 

and our aim is to get our holders 

to get them for free or with 

almost 0 cost. We are going to 

develop the Lore of our Dodo 

Story, making it an exciting 

journey to take part of. 

Too many mints during 

December and January have 

rugged their community. What 

are some of the steps you have 

put in place to assure your 

community that this project is 

here to stick around? 

We understand the concerns with so many rugs and really feel sorry for 

everyone who suffered a loss because of that. Despite of the fact that we 

truly respect the right to be anon in crypto (for a lot of reasons), we doxxed 

ourselves and got verified with Civickey. We started this project almost 3 

months ago and got ourselves a very 

legit solana dev @ansel_sol, who has 

already worked on many solana NFT 

projects. 

We’ve been working hard for these 3 

months and are not going anywhere. 

We’ve got a full year roadmap we need 

to attend to, so this is what we are going 

to do. 

Exciting times ahead for the ECMC 

holders. I would like to thank you for 

your interview today with #Shill zine and 

look forward to supporting the project 

with a couple for the #Shill wallet! 

Thank you for the interview. The only thing I want to add is that we are looking 

forward to our mint which is going to be on 27th of January and welcome 

everyone to join us in this event. We thought minting should be fun, so we have 

made the treasure hunt event during our mint. There are 7 special attributes 

28 


hidden on our NFTs and they will be activated as we move on with 

our sales. Also, there are 10 1/1 hidden in the collection which will 

grant its owners special $ drops from the project. We allocate 10- 

15% of our mint to these fun activities. 

I also would like to whitelist anyone who comes to our 

discord with “from #Shill zine” password. We have 

been almost 50% full on our WL, but still have some 

left which we would love to share with your readers.

Fast Food chains 

serving NFTs 

Jinia Shawdagor 

Fast-food restaurants across the globe are jumping on the NFT 

bandwagon with their own digital tokens. 

Los restaurantes de comida rápida de todo el mundo se están 

subiendo al carro de NFT con sus propios tokens digitales. 

Analysis 

The past few months have seen an explosive uptake of nonfungible 

tokens (NFT) as crypto artists, gaming enthusiasts, musicians, 

celebrities and now fast food chains deploy the technology in various 

ways. 

Fast food giants such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Taco Bell 

44 


are taking to NFTs because of their capacity to enable gamified 

promotions and distribution of their products and services. 

Análisis 

Los últimos meses han visto una aceptación explosiva de tokens no 

fungibles (NFT) a medida que los criptoartistas, los entusiastas de los 

juegos, los músicos, las celebridades y ahora las cadenas de comida 

rápida implementan la tecnología de varias maneras. 

Los gigantes de la comida rápida como McDonald’s, Burger King y 

Taco Bell están recurriendo a las NFT debido a su capacidad para 

permitir promociones gamificadas y distribución de sus productos y 

servicios. 

Taco Bell 

Taco Bell is a popular fast food brand in the United States thanks to 

its Mexican-style products. In a March 2021 marketing campaign, 

Taco Bell launched a new NFT collection emerging as the first among 

fast-food chains to offer collectible tokens. 

Taco Bell NFTs (Taco Art) comprise artistic illustrations of its fastfood 

offerings, with some buyers paying upward of 10 Ether (ETH) 

for one Taco Bell NFT. According to tweets from the restaurant chain, 

earnings generated from the sale were donated to charity. 

Taco Bell es una marca de comida rápida popular en los Estados 

Unidos gracias a sus productos de estilo mexicano. En una campaña 

de marketing de marzo de 2021, Taco Bell lanzó una nueva colección 

NFT que surgió como la primera entre las cadenas de comida rápida 

en ofrecer tokens coleccionables. 

Los Taco Bell NFT (Taco Art) comprenden ilustraciones artísticas de 

sus ofertas de comida rápida, y algunos compradores pagan más de 

10 Ether (ETH) por un Taco Bell NFT. Según los tuits de la cadena 

de restaurantes, las ganancias generadas por la venta se donaron a 

obras de caridad. 

Burger King 

Not one to be left behind, Burger King announced its entry into the 

NFT space with the release of a range of digital collectibles under a 

marketing campaign dubbed “Keep It Real Meals.” 

Every Burger King customer will be able to scan the QR code that 

comes with their meal to receive one of three collectible game pieces. 

Once a player receives all three, they will receive a fourth token that 


could be a reward of a digital collectible, a year’s supply of burgers or a call 

with one of the campaign’s celebrity spokespeople. 

Para no quedarse atrás, Burger King anunció su entrada en el espacio NFT con 

el lanzamiento de una gama de coleccionables digitales bajo una campaña 

de marketing denominada “Keep It Real Meals”. 

Todos los clientes de Burger King podrán escanear el código QR que viene 

con su comida para recibir una de las tres piezas coleccionables del juego. 

Una vez que un jugador recibe los tres, recibirá un cuarto token que podría ser 

una recompensa de un coleccionable digital, un suministro de hamburguesas 

para un año o una llamada con uno de los portavoces famosos de la campaña. 

McDonald’s 

Despite China’s ban on nearly everything crypto-related, McDonald’s China 

branch will release a set of 188 NFTs to its employees and customers as 

part of a giveaway celebration of the franchise’s 31st anniversary. 

The NFTs consist of three-dimensional artistic designs of McDonald’s 

China’s new office headquarters in a project titled “Big Mac Rubik’s Cube,” 

and they were built in partnership with digital asset creation agency Cocafe. 

A pesar de la prohibición de China de casi todo lo relacionado con las 

criptomonedas, la sucursal de McDonald’s en China lanzará un conjunto de 

188 NFT para sus empleados y clientes como parte de una celebración de 

obsequio del 31.º aniversario de la franquicia. 

Los NFT consisten en diseños artísticos tridimensionales de la nueva sede 

de la oficina de McDonald’s China en un proyecto titulado “Big Mac Rubik’s 

Cube”, y se construyeron en asociación con la agencia de creación de activos 

digitales Cocafe. 

Pizza Hut 

The Canadian subsidiary of Pizza Hut, a fast-food chain famous for its allyou-can-eat 

pizza buffet, released an NFT project called “1 Byte Favourites,” 

which are digital NFT images of pizza slices. 

In a March 17 announcement, the company said it would issue NFT images 

of a slice of pizza every other week. Each slice and NFT image would come 

with a different recipe, and interested buyers will have access to the NFTs 

on Rarible. 

Pizza Hut Canada chief marketing officer Daniel Meymen said that the NFT 

campaign was “an opportunity to give fans another way to get their hands 

on their favorite Pizza Hut recipes, even if it’s virtual.” 

46 


La subsidiaria canadiense de Pizza Hut, una cadena de comida rápida famosa 

por su bufé de pizza de todo lo que pueda comer, lanzó un proyecto NFT 

llamado “Favoritos de 1 byte”, que son imágenes digitales NFT de porciones 

de pizza. 

En un anuncio del 17 de marzo, la compañía dijo que emitiría imágenes NFT 

de una porción de pizza cada dos semanas. Cada rebanada e imagen NFT 

vendrá con una receta diferente, y los compradores interesados tendrán 

acceso a los NFT en Rarible. 

El director de marketing de Pizza Hut Canadá, Daniel Meymen, dijo que la 

campaña NFT era “una oportunidad para brindarles a los fanáticos otra 

forma de tener en sus manos sus recetas favoritas de Pizza Hut, incluso si 

es virtual”. 

The new marketing medium for big brands 

Like every other popular trend online, marketers have hopped onto the NFT 

bandwagon to get a piece of the pie and grab people’s attention by using 

the novel technology. 

Fast food brands and other consumer good brands are quickly discovering 

that selling their products with the NFT badge and other digital collectible 

jargon as part of their campaign is a winning strategy. 

Even in cases where the collectibles are not limited or rare, the masses 

have continued to buy NFTs at exorbitantly high prices. The jury is still out 

on whether this is the future of brand marketing or just hype that will soon 

die down. 

Al igual que cualquier otra tendencia popular en línea, los especialistas en 

marketing se han subido al carro de NFT para obtener una parte del pastel y 

captar la atención de las personas mediante el uso de la tecnología novedosa. 

Las marcas de comida rápida y otras marcas de bienes de consumo están 

descubriendo rápidamente que vender sus productos con la insignia NFT y 

otra jerga coleccionable digital como parte de su campaña es una estrategia 

ganadora. 

Incluso en los casos en que los coleccionables no son limitados o raros, 

las masas han seguido comprando NFT a precios exorbitantes. El jurado 

aún está deliberando sobre si este es el futuro del marketing de marca o 

simplemente una exageración que pronto se extinguirá.

GenesysGo Will Launch a 

Decentralized IDO Platform 

Decentralizing IDO´s 

After the smooth SHDW token IDO, GenesysGO will now release an IDO platform 

to lay the foundation for developers to launch their own projects. 

The largest remote procedure call provider on Solana announced their plans to 

launch an IDO platform on January 22 via Twitter, drawing on the successful 

SHDW token initial DEX offering three weeks ago. According to their Medium 

blog, it was the first decentralized IDO on the Solana network and was powered 

by their team of Alpha-Shadow operators. 

Después del suave IDO del token SHDW, GenesysGO ahora lanzará una plataforma 

IDO para sentar las bases para que los desarrolladores lancen sus propios 

proyectos. 

El mayor proveedor de llamadas de procedimientos remotos en Solana anunció 

sus planes para lanzar una plataforma IDO el 22 de enero a través de Twitter, 

aprovechando la exitosa oferta inicial de DEX del token SHDW hace tres semanas. 

Según su blog Medium, fue el primer IDO descentralizado en la red Solana y 

fue impulsado por su equipo de operadores Alpha-Shadow. 

“After the $SHDW IDO ended, we realized that we were basically 90% of the way 

to an IDO platform already… and, given the network difficulties that some IDO 

platforms have caused the validator network lately, we decided to finish out that 

last 10%,” they explain on the blog. 

50 


“Después de que finalizó $SHDW IDO, nos dimos cuenta de que básicamente 

ya habíamos recorrido el 90 % del camino hacia una plataforma IDO… y, dadas 

las dificultades de red que algunas plataformas IDO han causado últimamente 

a la red de validación, decidimos terminar los últimos 10 %”, explican 

en el blog. 

The IDO platform will be the first of many new use cases for the Shadow 

Token and aims to be fully decentralized, leveraging GenesysGo´s decentralized 

RPC network and incentivizing developers to promote their projects 

across the whole Solana ecosystem, not restricted or limited by a centralized 

launchpad authority. It will be completely automated and on-chain via 

audited smart contracts built on Anchor. 

Projects that want to use the platform for their IDO launch will need to deposit 

15K USD in SHDW tokens to pay for the independent server operator 

fees that power GenesysGo’s decentralized RPC network. 

La plataforma IDO será el primero de muchos casos de uso nuevos para

“The platform will live as long as Solana does and be available for any and 

all to use. That’s the beauty of blockchain, we can use it to build meaningful 

platforms that help move the ecosystem forward but do it in a way that 

doesn’t force the ecosystem to become more and more reliant on a centralized 

team over time”, the blog concludes highlighting the importance of 

decentralization to move the Solana ecosystem forward. 

“La plataforma vivirá tanto tiempo como Solana y estará disponible para que 

todos la usen. Esa es la belleza de blockchain, podemos usarla para construir 

plataformas significativas que ayuden a hacer avanzar el ecosistema, pero 

hacerlo de una manera que no obligue al ecosistema a depender cada vez 

más de un equipo centralizado con el tiempo”, concluye el blog. destacando

The real question is what projects should we have an eye on moving 

forward. The year 2021 was an incredible year for crypto. Specifically 

for smart contract platforms and tokens building on them. 

The market has definitely acknowledged the value of Solana, which 

was trading below $2 on Jan 1. The token is up nearly 1000% YTD, 

trading at ~200 during writing. While Solana may not do another 10x 

next year, the possibility can be found in a plethora of ecosystem 

tokens. 

Solana has been one of the most prominent names in Web3, 

DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. The blockchain proposes scalability and 

innovation while maintaining security and decentralization. 

Metaverse, Web3, Blockchain, Open Economy, - Just Gaming 

The rise of gaming, the metaverse, and NFTs seems inevitable. The 

growth of these Web3 verticals is echoed through traditional spaces. 

News continues to hit headlines but notably, players like Facebook 

rebranding to Meta, Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard, and G2 

Esports entering the NFT scene displays the trend. 

Solana is the perfect breeding ground for these protocols considering 

the scalability and institutional interest. 

What is Mini Royale: Nations? 

Mini Royale: Nations is the first live multiplayer game to launch on 

the Solana blockchain. The game is a seamless browser-based firstperson 

shooter that requires no third-party client or installation.

There is already a live beta mode available online at miniroyale.io 

that has achieved considerable popularity. Over 2 million players 

have banded together to compete in action-packed PvP gameplay 

during their Open Beta. 

Faraway, the studio behind MRN, has raised a total of $29 million 

via a seed and Series A funding round as reported by CoinDesk. The 

most recent of $21 million was led by FTX and Lightspeed Venture 

Partners. Other investors such as a16z, Sequoia Capital, Pantera 

Capital, Jump Capital and Solana are listed on the whitepaper. 

What is Nyan Heroes? 

Nyan Heroes is a P2E NFT based game built on the Solana blockchain 

network as a part of the growing metaverse. In the game, players will 

be able to collect Nyans (Cats) and their Guardian Robots as NFTs. 

These heroes can then be used to battle other players in a shooterstyle 

action game. 

The main cryptocurrency behind Nyan Heroes will be $NYN and 

$CNTP (pegged in-game currency). The token will provide a 

multifunctional governance token allocated during private and public 

sales, with specific proportions set out for the core team, staking 

rewards, and community treasury. 

Nyan Hero has completed a $2.5 million seed round led by Three 

Arrows Capital, Mechanism Capital and DeFiance Capital. Additional 

strategic backing includes Sino Global Capital, Infinity Ventures 

Capital, Solana Ventures, Skyvision Capital, Yield Guild Games and 

Merit Circle. 


What is Solice? 

Solice is a VR Metaverse built on the Solana blockchain. Solice 

elevates the metaverse experience to the next dimension by 

providing top-quality infrastructure with next-level, immersive lifelike 

visualizations. 

The protocol is where virtual worlds, NFTs, and communities 

intersect, with the aim to improve the overall user experience, 

connecting them through interoperability across the metaverse. The 

project recently began the first phase of its roadmap. 

The project had a funding round enviable to most protocols. The 

backing was led by Zhu Su’s Three Arrows Capital, DeFiance Capital, 

and Animoca Brands. Alameda Research, Jump Capital, Genblock 

Capital, KuCoin Labs, Solar Eco Fund, CMS Holdings, and Rarestone 

Capital were also involved. 

Selecting and Weeding Through Web3 ‘dApps’ 

A lot goes into evaluating projects. One of the best things I first ask 

is whether or not the product or service is innovative. This is only the 

tip of the iceberg. From there due diligence spans multiple fields: 

Business 

Finance 

Legal 

Tech 

56 


Key Personnel 

Due diligence checks are thought to reduce financial risks, which 

Web3 and crypto markets can bolster with. Ranging from rug pulls, 

flash loan attacks, and project failure. But, due diligence is not a sole 

indicator of performance 

The good news is, due diligence is typically performed by multiple 

parties if it’s a well-regarded project. This means for the retail investor 

it can be as simple as looking at what Venture Capitalists(VC), funds, 

and angels are supporting. 

Large and well-regarded VCs have extensive due diligence processes. 

For this exact reason, the two main criteria I will be following are: 

Concluding Thoughts 

An innovative, novel, or necessary product 

Accredited VC’s with a reputable record 

I would like to stress that this is far from financial advice. The 

‘suites’ can be wrong too, but I typically don’t like to bet against 

experts. Cobie, Co-Founder of UpOnly Podcast, pointed out some 

potential flaws in Solana ecosystem tokenomics in his “Trading the 

metagame” substack post. 

“The Solana ecosystem had it’s own “very high FDV” sub-metagame, 

whereby the only people that were really early were the people that 

funded the seed round.” Cobie did point out. Popular trader Hsaka 

also poked fun at the ecosystem Tweeting a meme highlighting the 

‘very high FDV’ and the early seed round investors. 

So, there are ‘veterans’, who suggest differently. 


@PhantomsSol 

Phantoms 

What is PHANTOMS? 

PHANTOMS is a project of 100 hand-drawn art created by @ 

PhantomsSol and @DCodedNFT on the Solana blockchain. It is most 

important to us is to build an organic following base and have each 

PHANTOMS as a rare asset, not to release thousands of PHANTOMS 

which decreases the value. 

Here at Phantoms our mission is to build the best community here on 

the Solana blockchain and bring value to all holders of a PHANTOM. 

Our number one priority is to provide value to our PHANTOMS holders. 

We will be looking into ways to secure partnerships, giveaways and 

much more. 

At PHANTOMS our roadmap is straight-forward. Providing value for 

holders and releasing regular auctions. As the community grows, we 

will allow the holders and community to decide what the future will 

hold and keep our followers up to date with plans once verified. 

Excited for the future of this project with more announcements 

to come. Now our question to you is... will you be one of the 100 

PHANTOMs living in a mansion? 

Regular auctions will be held on @holaplex 

Secondary sales will be live on @exchgART 

Discord link: https://discord.gg/hXG5Q68p 

¿Qué es FANTASMAS? 

PHANTOMS es un proyecto de 100 obras de arte dibujadas a 

mano creadas por @PhantomsSol y @DCodedNFT en la cadena de 

bloques de Solana. Lo más importante para nosotros es construir 

una base orgánica de seguidores y tener cada PHANTOM como un 

activo raro, no liberar miles de PHANTOM, lo que disminuye el valor. 

Aquí en Phantoms, nuestra misión es construir la mejor comunidad 

aquí en la cadena de bloques de Solana y aportar valor a todos 

los titulares de un PHANTOM. Nuestra prioridad número uno es 

58 


proporcionar valor a nuestros titulares de PHANTOMS. Buscaremos 

formas de asegurar asociaciones, obsequios y mucho más. 

En PHANTOMS, nuestra hoja de ruta es sencilla. Proporcionar valor 

para los tenedores y lanzar subastas periódicas. A medida que la 

comunidad crezca, permitiremos que los titulares y la comunidad 

decidan qué les deparará el futuro y mantendremos a nuestros 

seguidores actualizados con los planes una vez verificados. 

Emocionado por el futuro de este proyecto con más anuncios por 

venir. Ahora nuestra pregunta para ti es... ¿serás uno de los 100 

PHANTOM que viven en una mansión? 

Las subastas regulares se llevarán a cabo en @holaplex 

Las ventas secundarias estarán en vivo en @exchgART
