from<br />

the<br />

<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>69</strong> of #Shill zine and mid-way through August 2022. Markets are choppy. The NFT scene is in a<br />

state of wtfawg. The dust will eventually settle. Some will come through. Others will be so battered and<br />

bruised they may never return.<br />

A heartfelt THANK YOU to @Keezerfeld as he launched his first ever 'editions' piece on exchange.art.<br />

All <strong>69</strong> pieces sol out with a part of the proceeds going to #Shill zine. This has occurred once in the past<br />

with @superjimmer donating 0.5Sol to 3 different projects in the space.<br />

Although that is not the intent of #Shill zine, it is greatly appreciated all the same.<br />

Looking ahead, we are about 30 issues away from #SHIIL ZINE 100. TIme to start thinking about that<br />

issue, what it could look like, and what it should celebrate. Ideas?<br />

Dam Zine is working on issue 3 at the moment with issue 2 set to publish any day now. A lot of work<br />

goes into putting together a publication for the broader community. The DAM zine focuses on a<br />

monthly theme where artists submit their pieces as 'editions' with a portion of sales going back to DAM<br />

zine. Well worth a look with many wonderful pieces from many of your favourite artists.<br />

Of course, there is also 'A Deep State of Mind' by @NFTArtistCheriW which launched in May 2022.<br />

A monthly magazine focussing on great interviews with artists and more of the fine NFT art pieces in<br />

the space. The May and June issues are available from https://adeepstateofmind.wordpress.com/themagazine<br />

#<strong>SHILL</strong> zine has its own little niche. It's a smattering of everything. Mainstream NFT. Artist's NFTs.<br />

Articles. Alpha. Stats. It has its own little purpose in the Solana ecosystem. Every issue is available on<br />

the Yumpu platform. Every issue a snapshot of where Solana was at the time. It's interesting to flick<br />

through some of the older issues every now and then.<br />

Since being wallet drained a couple of weeks ago, #Shill has not invested in anything. We are focussing<br />

on rebuilding what we had which requires a lot of discipline and determination. I'm guessing it is going<br />

to take months to rebuild. And, with each issue during the curation phase there are pieces that tempt<br />

me to add to the #Shill vault but just cannot afford to do so.<br />

Let #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine stand for what it is. A soapbox for the artists out there that need further exposure but<br />

have not got the means or the time to do so on their own. Share the link with your friends to give the<br />

artists further exposure. Retweet so that #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine can grow to 10k views per week.<br />

Enough said. You know the drill.<br />

HGE.SOL and Kais relationship worsens after a new exploit<br />

was discovered<br />

It has been an awful few weeks for Okay Bears. What<br />

was meant to be a period of growth and optimism quickly<br />

turned into a nightmare when the “hibernation” site<br />

was essentially non-functional. Worse, rumors spread<br />

that the smart contract on the site made it possible for<br />

a hacker to steal every staked bear. HGE, the biggest<br />

whale in the OKB community, publicly revealed he was<br />

getting harassed in the OKB discord, and Kais was<br />

criticized for blaming the development team instead<br />

of taking it on himself. Things did not look good for the<br />

brand and community-centric project.<br />

But things seemed to be recovering, with the release<br />

of the Founder’s coin, an NFT backed by real gold.<br />

Many, particularly those within the community, really<br />

loved the drop, and there was renewed confidence in<br />

the project.<br />

But the optimism was short-lived as it was discovered<br />

today that the goodie bag that they have promising<br />

for a while now would be further delayed. It turns out<br />

that Shopify page where bears put in their orders for<br />

the goodie bags had a loophole, where a simple username<br />

and password input would allow anyone to order<br />

as many goodie bags as they desired.<br />

The slip-up led to the relationship between HGE and<br />

Kais, and potentially even the entire bear community,<br />

becoming further strained. A few now-deleted tweets<br />

revealed that HGE felt disrespected by the OKB founder<br />

despite all that he has done for the community. The<br />

whale had hired developers to help figure out the issue<br />

but did not receive a “thank you” from Kais or anyone<br />

on the OKB team, resulting in his further displeasure<br />

towards the team at OKB.<br />

It appears that the problems at the project are<br />

deep-rooted and systemic, with mistakes occurring<br />

every other week. Their floor price has now slipped to<br />

the 50 Sol region, a long way away from their 225 Sol<br />

High. One can only hope the team will be able to keep<br />

the sinking ship afloat and bring it back to its former<br />

glory.<br />

Primates tease effects of “Jungle Juice”<br />

Primates have been involved in various announcement<br />

news in recent times, and anticipation is building<br />

on the upcoming merchandise collection that will<br />

be released soon.<br />

They have also been teasing what appears to be an<br />

art upgrade via the “Jungle Juice”. In a tweet put out<br />

today, the above image was attached, teasing the potential<br />

new look that Primates will take on after consuming<br />

the juice.<br />

Although the community was mostly excited, some did<br />

not enjoy the new look, even pointing out how the derivative<br />

created by Infected Mob looked better.<br />

It is an exciting time for the project, and more announcements<br />

are expected soon.<br />

Stoned Ape Crew tease upcoming clothing line<br />

Stoned Ape Crew has begun teasing it’s upcoming<br />

clothing line/merch collection.<br />

The project’s floor price has been steadily declining<br />

since hitting over 100 Sol back in February this year,<br />

and despite the announcement, there was no noticeable<br />

impact on the floor price, sitting currently just under<br />

20 Sol.<br />

That said, many are excited about the upcoming cloth-<br />

ing line, from the sleek design to the absence of obnoxious<br />

NFT logos plastered all over it. One reply said,<br />

“Yep! Stacking that $PUFF I’m here for this. True<br />

definition of clean, summertime swag plus white<br />

socks and the NBs.”<br />

And the feeling is shared by many, that this clothing<br />

line was different, fashionable and of really good quality.<br />

The collection will also have summer specific clothing<br />

items, adding to the variety and depth of the collection.<br />

Suteki launch merch store<br />

Suteki launch merch store where anyone can buy<br />

Suteki themed merch.<br />

Suteki is an anime NFT collection focused on building<br />

a brand. Although they have been struggling post-mint<br />

price wise, the recent announcements have led to<br />

bullish sentiment among holders.<br />

With the merch store, holders are now able to use the<br />

$USHI they have been earning via staking their NFTs<br />

to purchase various clothing items. The floor price has<br />

jumped over 100% over the past week, hitting 2 Sol<br />

late yesterday.<br />

https://twitter.com/Suteki_NFT/status/1556425619587665923<br />

Zion Labs announces Ride, their second NFT project<br />

No news of when the collection will drop but more news<br />

is expected soon. Many are assuming that $PUFF will<br />

be an acceptable payment currency for the collection<br />

alongside USDC as other projects producing clothing/<br />

merch have done the same thing.<br />

Zion Labs announced Ride earlier today. The announcement,<br />

which was made on Twitter, stated that<br />

Ride is a next-generation platform that would bring<br />

skateboarders and fans into the Web 3.0 space. Ride,<br />

according to the tweet, will assist skateboarders in<br />

launching and managing memberships with their<br />

fans. Fans will be able to get closer to and know their<br />

favorite skateboarder through the platform, and skateboarders<br />

will be able to interact with their followers<br />

more deeply while expanding their revenue streams.<br />

Zion Labs is a 777 key collection that has already<br />

launched cypher, an NFT utility tool for its holders. The<br />

collection is currently on floor 6 sol.<br />

Zion Labs also discussed expanding and growing the<br />

Web 3.0 Ecosystem in the thread. Cypher, they feel,<br />

aided the ecosystem by enabling fully autonomous<br />

bots for NFT trading. With Ride, their goal is to draw<br />

people and capital into the space. The team will be<br />

announcing the first skateboarder on their platform,<br />

tomorrow.<br />

@solana hackathon.<br />

In a brutal bear market...


@homegirlcaro<br />

After last Wednesday’s auction, I thought I’d give a<br />

little insight into this series and how it came to be.<br />

The idea grew from working on the piece ‘Internal<br />

Conflict’, owned by @JumboJeb. It’s a painting of Saint<br />

Cecilia and Holy Death. Put together from a photograph<br />

of a church ceiling in Santo Domingo and two<br />

renaissance paintings.<br />

Working on the piece, I tried to bring a bright, Angelic,<br />

and hopeful result. But I couldn’t deny myself true<br />

self-expression and the work quickly became the opposite.<br />

After finishing this piece, I began collecting images<br />

from The Met’s online catalog.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

CARO @homegirlcaro · Mar 15<br />

I really wanted to exude positivity and angelic<br />

vibes but my mind is in shambles and it must<br />

be released. The background has now become<br />

dark tones, Saint Cecilia is crying blood, and<br />

Holy Death has popped in to say hello. Wondering<br />

if this should be a “stand-alone” piece?<br />

(This was all put on hold for some time, I wasn’t feeling<br />

my best) As I started to feel better, I was now ready to<br />

revisit the images. I began to play with The Immaculate<br />

Conception “The Saint” for fun/growth. Things were<br />

coming together.<br />

After words of encouragement from the homie @boywithnolegs<br />

and interest in the outcome of ‘The Saint’,<br />

it was clear this needed to be shared. The idea solidified,<br />

Dark Renaissance was coming to life.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

CARO @homegirlcaro · Jul 10<br />

Working on another renaissance piece (for<br />

funsies). Challenging myself! Been wanting to<br />

take ‘The Immaculate Conception’ and make<br />

it DARK. First is saying bye to the angels. Next<br />

replacing colors and then bringing in elements.<br />

So far roughly 1.5 hrs<br />

This series will take well-known paintings to a grim<br />

place. The pieces are my idea of the fears instilled into<br />

people (past & present) but I encourage you to formulate<br />

your own opinion on each painting. So how many<br />

pieces will there be? What is the plan for releasing<br />

them?


8 pieces will be auctioned in total, 1 weekly, every Wednesday till late September. ‘The Unholy’ will be auctioned<br />

this coming Wednesday. Incredibly excited to see the progression of this series & so grateful for the support it has<br />

received.

@subaruimpreza09<br />

All eyes are on @DeGodsNFT/@y00tsNFT right now.<br />

I want to give credit where credit is due, but also express<br />

healthy skepticism. FOMO (which often leads to<br />

poor decisions) can be fought with free discourse and<br />

information sharing.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

Frank0 (33.3%) @frankdegods · Aug 9<br />

Expectations for @y00tsNFT, @DeGodsNFT,<br />

and $DUST are extremely high. Let me just FUD<br />

ourselves right now. We could fuck a lot of stuff<br />

up, tbh. Success is not guaranteed. But what I can<br />

guarantee is persistence. We will not give up, no<br />

matter what.<br />

Frank knows wtf he’s doing. He’s a smart and powerful<br />

leader who knows how to rally his troops and create<br />

hype. However, some forget that he’s just a person<br />

like all of us -- he doesn’t have the secret playbook to<br />

success, and neither does anyone else.<br />

If nothing else, I hope this thread helps Frank, the<br />

team, and the community understand the perspective<br />

of a non-holder. This is not fud for the sake of fud. This<br />

is me sharing my perspective to be helpful for both<br />

holders and non-holders.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

SUBI @subaruimpreza09 · Aug 9<br />

the @y00tsNFT scholarship has created an<br />

interesting dynamic where people seem hesitant<br />

to express any ounce of negativity until the list<br />

comes out. @frankdegods has said he wants honest<br />

feedback, but it also makes sense to handpick<br />

people who are all in... (1/2)<br />

Here’s what I’ll cover:<br />

Utility / innovation (7-12)<br />

Community (13-16)<br />

Brand potential (17-18)<br />

Duppies abandonment (19-20)<br />

y00ts impressions (21-end) Let’s get into it<br />

UTILITY<br />

A combination of exposure from Frank, a killer art<br />

upgrade, and $DUST price rising resulted in a breakthrough<br />

in price.<br />

@cerealfailure14 offers a hot take:<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

Cerealfailure【Ø】@cerealfailure14 · Aug 8<br />

So they landed on $dust. Now $dust and Dead-<br />

Gods stuck for some reason. The art was better,<br />

but not tremendously so, and the raffling and<br />

auction utility weren’t exactly innovative or new.<br />

Did they get lucky? Probably. But no one would<br />

ever say that out loud.<br />

Would love to hear more from the community, especially<br />

those that have held since < 10 SOL... why was<br />

the parabolic rise not luck?<br />

INNOVATION<br />

DeGods is great at doing the current meta in the best<br />

way -- it makes a lot of sense to me that they would be<br />

valued the highest atm However, their innovation stays<br />

inside metas, rarely pushing boundaries. A few examples<br />

below.<br />

Ex. art upgrade -- before DeadGods, I had seen collections<br />

“upgrade” their art by burning old NFTs for new<br />

ones. The DeadGods approach was smoother, and<br />

the new art is some of the best on Solana. However, it<br />

wasn’t revolutionary, it was just a re-imagination of the<br />

familiar.<br />

Ex. scholarship whitelist -- having an application is a<br />

great way to curate a community that is genuinely<br />

interested in your project. However, this is just innovation<br />

inside the pre-existing whitelist meta; they aren’t


doing anything revolutionary.<br />

Ex. raffles, merch, passive income, etc. Though these<br />

aspects of the project are well-done, they are not innovative<br />

or unique in any way.<br />

This is not to say that lacking true innovation is all bad.<br />

The fp of DeGods speaks for itself, and they have mastered<br />

the art of capturing meta(s). However, what does<br />

this mean for the project when another project comes<br />

and changes the meta altogether?<br />

Perfecting existing metas is pretty low hanging fruit in<br />

terms of innovation. More ambitious goals that have<br />

the potential to change the space take more time, but<br />

they are more resilient. DeGods will have to constantly<br />

shift and react to metas if they continue like this.<br />

COMMUITY<br />

The DeGods community is a glorified army of Frank<br />

stans, which makes it pretty fragile. As opposed to<br />

@SolanaMBS, I don’t think the community is strong<br />

enough to stand on its own through trials and tribulations.<br />

The community is all about “family first.” They are profit<br />

maximalists, and there’s nothing wrong with that.<br />

However, I rarely see community members exhibit any<br />

sort of care about the greater ecosystem or pushing<br />

the space forward.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

Frank0 (33.3%) @frankdegods · Jul 9<br />

feed your family before trying to solve world<br />

hunger<br />

During the recent exploit, communities like @TaiyoRobotics<br />

and @FamousFoxFed offered a hand to the entire<br />

ecosystem. DeGods was pretty quiet... Caring about<br />

yourself is cool and all, but it’s not a zero sum game we<br />

are playing here.<br />

BRAND POTENTIAL<br />

This leads me to my next point... branding potential.<br />

DeGods gives off major frat boy energy. And that’s perfectly<br />

fine. But this specific, non-inclusive feel does not<br />

generalize well. As mass adoption happens, it’s hard to<br />

see DeGods being the face of Solana.<br />

I personally can’t relate to the project at all. Mass<br />

appeal and historical significance will matter a lot for<br />

community projects in the next bull run. The only real<br />

significance of DeGods is their high price tag -- they are<br />

not thought leaders.<br />

DUPPIES ABANDONMENT<br />

I was shocked to see the hasty rebrand from Duppies<br />

to y00ts. Frank “grew to hate” Duppies before it even<br />

launched -- that doesn’t give me confidence that y00ts<br />

will go any differently.<br />

I appreciated the honesty about the rebrand and<br />

reasoning behind it, but I would prefer a leader/project<br />

who makes intentional, calculated decisions instead<br />

of rash ones. It seemed Duppies was not thought-out<br />

enough to start marketing.<br />

Y00TS IMPRESSIONS<br />

Though we don’t know a ton about @y00tsNFT yet, we<br />

do know that Frank is taking inspiration from MSCHF,<br />

an experimental art collective. He mentioned this will<br />

likely mean airdrops for y00ts holders.<br />

Again, airdrops are nothing new. I will have to see how<br />

things progress before I can make any definitive statements,<br />

but it would need to be something that’s never<br />

been done before in NFTs to impress me.<br />

I want the best for @DeGodsNFT and @y00tsNFT<br />

-- any success of a Solana NFT is a success for all of<br />

us. However, second collections have often been the<br />

beginning of the end for projects. Frank’s response to<br />

this criticism is usually “watch me” instead of “here’s<br />

the plan”.<br />

I prefer more transparent and open communication<br />

instead of requiring blind faith in a leader. An informed<br />

community can grow together, but a community that<br />

simply follows their leader is an echo chamber.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

SUBI @subaruimpreza09 · Jul 19<br />

8/ Collective ownership can be achieved multiple<br />

ways: holder voting, listening to holder suggestions,<br />

etc. This is what separates a community<br />

from a cult. A community innovates and evolves<br />

with the project and its founder, whereas a cult<br />

blindly follows their owner<br />

I agree that if anyone can continue an upward trend after<br />

a second collection in the current market, it’s Frank<br />

and DeGods. But with stakes high and FOMO higher,<br />

there’s a lot to lose as well. Here’s your reminder to<br />

never invest more than you can afford to lose.<br />

Thanks so much for giving this a read. I’m looking forward<br />

to the y00ts art reveal and learning more about<br />

their plans. I would love to engage in further conversation<br />

about this. Let me know your thoughts.

Discord * Twitter<br />

Bitcoin is trading over 24,000 and as usual, we can see the bulls coming back from their holes<br />

and are enthusiastic whether it’s your timeline or the Discord servers you are in and with this<br />

enthusiasm comes the FOMO factor which will again make a lot of people lose their portfolio<br />

trying to catch the bottom.<br />

However, $SOL above 40 and a general bullish sentiment always help the projects which go for<br />

mint during these phases and there is one such project going for mint today and this has some<br />

great things to offer or as they say, “nobody does better than them”.<br />

Beneath is a collection of anime-inspired art NFTs having different factions based on the colour<br />

of the eye of the NFTs and the main aim of the project is to provide all the tools (automated or<br />

analytics) under one umbrella.<br />

The mint information about the project is as follows:<br />

Supply: 3500<br />

Cost: 1.25 $SOL (WL) | 1.5 $SOL (Public)<br />

Time: 6 pm UTC (WL) | 6:45 pm UTC (Public)<br />

Now let us talk about the utilities that the project is planning to provide to its holders:<br />

ANALYTICS<br />

As the name suggests the analytics dashboard will provide you with all the information you<br />

need to curate your trading and investing data which will range from analysing your portfolio in<br />

terms of all the projects that you have minted or sniped from the secondary marketplace, your<br />

total wallet value in terms of NFTs, Crypto and USDC over time and the total profit you have<br />

made over the months.<br />

Not only this but this will also help you identify your most profitable trades and the ones you<br />

have taken heavy losses as well, making it easier for you to identify your strengths and weaknesses.


UPCOMING PROJECTS<br />

This page will provide all the information regarding the upcoming projects that are going to<br />

launch in the space with not just their names but everything you need to know if they are worthy<br />

to get a WL or not.<br />

REAL-TIME INFO<br />

Again self-explanatory, this page will provide all the real-time information regarding current<br />

mints, secondary sales and recent activity including features which will tell the highest sale that<br />

has happened on a particular day.<br />

CURATED DISCORD SERVER<br />

Now, this is something interesting, here the dashboard will help you curate all the important<br />

servers and channels that you want to monitor keeping aside the pile of hundreds of unwanted<br />

servers and channels that just increase the noise and are of no use to you.<br />

MARKETPLACE<br />

This page will be specifically made for the NFT holders as they will be able to take part in auctions,<br />

raffles or FCFS sales for NFTs, WL Spots and merch.<br />

SOCIAL INTEGRATION<br />

This feature will help you as a holder to connect with all your WEB-3 friends and will allow you<br />

to know how many times your chiefs got rekt falling for a social pump using some well-acknowledged<br />

lagging indicators in the space.<br />

Just Kidding… or am I?<br />

COLLAB PLATFORM<br />

Looks like after SOL Decoder’s Seamless and Delysid Kiddos platform the next thing everyone<br />

wants to target is the collab platform where it will be easier for you as a community member or<br />

an alpha-hunter to claim and provide WL Opportunities without posting screenshots showing<br />

your DAO Proofs.<br />

AUTOMATED PROCESS<br />

Here Beneath Labs will provide you guys with automated tools such as:<br />

Auto listing which will enable you to automatically list your NFTs based on the qualification of<br />

the parameters you will set for yourself which may include anything such as the crossing of the<br />

floor at a certain level or a specific volume meter, etc.<br />

Monitors which will provide you features such as<br />

• Smart money tracking<br />

• Floor price<br />

• Recent/All-time volume<br />

• Fluctuations in floor price<br />

• Average 24h price<br />

• %change in FP<br />

Bulk Processes, this feature will enable you to perform 4 different types of functions namely,<br />

listing, bidding, sweeping, and cancelling in bulk.


ART<br />

As I have mentioned earlier, the NFT Art will include 5 different factions and each faction will<br />

have a faction leader (we’ll talk about this later).<br />

The art of the NFT is somehow giving me the vibes of vandal city art but unlike vandal, it is<br />

inspired by anime and is right facing.<br />

The Website of the project is also good and in one word it is professional.<br />

ENGAGEMENT<br />

Talking about engagement, Beneath is the most talked about mint of today and clearly in a<br />

bullish environment when you don’t have a lot of competition there is a good chance all eyes<br />

are on this one.<br />

In terms of number, the Twitter account of the project has around 7,000 followers and they<br />

have made around 62 Tweets which is a really low number keeping in mind the first tweet from<br />

the account came on the 3rd of June.


When we talk about the quality of tweets they have made, I would say they don’t have posted<br />

many giveaways to farm engagement and have used their Twitter Handle to show sneak peeks<br />

of their art and inform the people outside their Discord about what the project is building.<br />

The Discord server has got around 8,000 members and they are clocking on average 300 reactions<br />

per post, which is quite a low number keeping in mind that they have a 3500 Supply to<br />

sell out.<br />

The project is going to mint via tokens, and they have listed their tokens on the FFF token marketplace<br />

the demand is not there for the tokens and the floor price is also down the drain.<br />

To conclude I would say that the project is not going to do something which has never been<br />

done in this space before and is not going to build some exceptional utility around the project<br />

because all the things are being provided by a lot of tool-driven projects out there and mostly<br />

for free.<br />

However, the thing that makes them stand out is the fact that they have introduced a DAO<br />

FACTION LEADER concept in their roadmap where each Faction will have its leaders, being<br />

chosen amongst the community members through various contests.<br />

After that, each of these factions will have a separate wallet which will be in the control of the<br />

faction leader, and those faction members can decide how to spend the money in that wallet for<br />

the benefit of their community.<br />

Another thing that I liked is their supply and cost combination, they have done their homework<br />

after looking at the performance of their fellow analytical tools projects last month.<br />

At last, one thing to take care of if you are going for a quick flip is that the demand is somewhere<br />

on the lower side as of now, it might come back up during the mint time, so make sure<br />

you don’t pull the trigger without analysing the volume and the engagement.<br />

Discord * Twitter<br />

In the past few weeks, we haven’t seen any significant movements in the cryptocurrency market,<br />

even though some investors were trying to trade the news of the CPI meetings, they all<br />

took losses and BTC was back to the range it was trading in.<br />

While all this was happening in the crypto market, Magic Eden witnessed some significant<br />

volume inflows because of a few projects and we even saw it in the 6 figures again, however,<br />

that volume didn’t stay there for a good time and the daily volume mark has again reached to<br />

around 60,000. But all we can gather from this is there are people out there who are willing to<br />

invest their money and are just waiting for the right time and the right project.<br />

By right projects, I don’t necessarily mean projects with great fundamentals but projects who<br />

have managed to bring in the investor’s trust that they are the next big thing.<br />

Well, we have something for today, not sure when I say that they have the investor’s trust, but<br />

the numbers say so. And if you think that we are past the “Large Twitter Following” or “Big Discord<br />

Numbers” projects, well we are not because Alien Trippin’ High is going for mint today and<br />

the numbers they have achieved on their socials its quite fascinating for a bear market.<br />

Before we move forward, the mint details of the project are as follows: -<br />

Supply: 5900<br />

Cost: 2.4 $SOL (WL) | 2.75 $SOL (Public)<br />

Time: 5:15 pm UTC<br />

ROADMAP<br />

Alien Trippin High as a project will be driven by its community and the roadmap of the project is<br />

also based on the fact that they aim to provide different experiences to their community members.


There are different phases of their roadmap, let us look at each one of them:<br />

Fashion and Cannabis Store<br />

The first aim of the team is going to build a fashion and a cannabis store where not only their<br />

holders are their customers but also people from outside the NFT space which they believe<br />

they will achieve by creating a synergy between the team and the community. Holders will also<br />

achieve a revenue share from the brand being built.<br />

Experiences<br />

As I said earlier, the team aims to provide different experiences to its holders, one of the things<br />

they did was the “ATH Wheel” where they allowed their discord members to spin the wheel for<br />

free and win prizes which includes NFTs and $SOL.<br />

Events & Showcases<br />

Here the team will present the brand of ATH in every conference or meet related to NFTs.<br />

Not only this but the team has also mentioned that they will evolve their roadmap in the future<br />

as per the needs and wants of the community and that they have things like, Airdrops, Tokenomics,<br />

and Staking in plans.<br />

ART<br />

Now since it is a community-driven project, the art needs to be something that the community<br />

flex on their socials so that new investors get attracted to the project. And I am not impressed<br />

with the NFT Art and one of my concerns is that the supply is too big to ignore the fact that<br />

there will be commons who might not look that attractive on the floor.<br />

However, talking about their website, is something that has impressed me a lot and it is evident<br />

that the team has put a lot of work into there.<br />

One more thing I loved about the website is the fact that the team has showcased the fan art of<br />

their community members on their website with their discord name and tag included, which is a<br />

good way to tell their investors that yes they care about their community members.<br />

ENGAGEMENT<br />

In terms of engagement the team of Alien Trippin’ High is clocking great numbers, the numbers<br />

that were the last scene during the mints of Great Goats, Vandal City and Wobblebug.<br />

On Twitter, the project has almost 100,000 followers and they have made around 79 tweets<br />

and they have done multiple AMAs with a lot of well-respected projects in this space.


The follower count of the project was much higher, however, as per their tweet they have managed<br />

to ban all the fake followers and the follower count of the project is mostly real.<br />

Speaking of their Discord, the server has around 84,000 members and again the team has<br />

claimed that they have managed to ban over 30,000 bots from their server.<br />

This is a great thing that the team has openly shown its disinterest towards the number of botted<br />

followers they have and that they are working endlessly towards fixing it.<br />

In terms of the numbers of engagement, the team is clocking over 4000 reactions per announcement<br />

and over 1500 reactions per post in sneak peeks.<br />

One more feat the team has achieved is that they sold out their first NFT Merch in 50 seconds.<br />

To conclude, I would say that in the last 1.5 months this is probably the best project that is<br />

coming to mint on Solana in terms of “engagement numbers” that they are clocking, and why<br />

I am saying this is because even if the engagement is botted or not real it attracts people and I<br />

am sure almost every active member of the space is looking towards how the mint of the project<br />

went.


Also, the team has already done things that can work as a trust builder, they have sold out their<br />

first NFT Merch and they have built a free Wheel Spin to reward their active community members.<br />

If you have a whitelist in the project, like always make sure to analyse the demand kicking in<br />

at the last moment before jumping on the train. However, make sure you have enough time to<br />

mint because the team has announced that they have overallocated the whitelist spots.<br />

One more thing I would like to say is to wait till the mint gets over before you think of sniping<br />

some good ones on the floor.<br />

Also, if you are a whitelist, make sure you don’t list the NFT right after minting because the royalties<br />

will be set at 95% till the mint gets over.<br />

As always DYOR.
