GM Toads and future Toads… It’s been about 6 months since we started this journey together, and I thought it’d be helpful to reflect on what we’ve achieved so far and set the tone for what’s coming in the first part of next year.
May
Flashback to May 1st, the day of Toad the Great’s very first post. We were always tired of talking about money, so we tried something different—telling the history of the Toads.
June
Mid-June: Locked in our first partnership in the ecosystem with eFrogs, boosting the project’s visibility.
June 20th: Selected as one of the 20 projects during Linea’s Culture SZN to promote and educate people on NFTs.
June 30th: Announced the drop date for the “The Birth Lottery” collection: 2 NFTs per wallet, priced at 0.024 $ETH for the first 666 pieces that formed the core of our community.
July
July 2nd: Launched on NFTs2Me and sold out in 20 minutes.
July 4th: Opened the private Telegram channel for holders - “The Inner Circle”
July 9th: Whitelisting went live for Toads holders for the eFroglets launch, plus a $1,500 USDT lottery split among 3 winners.
July 14th: Culture SZN day—we showcased the “History of Toads”, a collage of visuals narrating the origins of Toad the Great on X, with 777,777 mints available.
July 20th: Hosted an Art Contest, distributing $2,500 in prizes to the top 10 artists, for 2 weeks.
August
Mid-August: Started a collaboration with Linus, organizing a poker night together and awarding prizes to 3 Toad holders as winners.
September
7th September: Began dropping teaser pages of the comic on X and Launched the Paid2Raid lotteries with weekly prizes of $25 USDT, $50 USDT, or 1 Toad based on collective targets in the Inner Circle.
10th September: Teamed up for the first Intraverse tournament and landed in the top 10 projects. Started scouting resources and new collaborators.
October
15 October: Collaborated with The Nemesis and hosted the “Speed Run” tournament, awarding over $500 to the top 10 players.
27 October: Partnered with Denaria, offering bonus points with the NFT-TOA code, usable for a future airdrop.
November/December
3 November: Donald Toad was deployed on Lynex —the first initiative by our community members that included an airdrop of 21,000 $DTC to all Toads NFTs Holder.
Participated in our first AMAs, in collaboration with the Linea team.
Defined strategies and objectives for 2025.
Onboarded new talent, developed marketing content, and continued work on the comic.
Started aligning with Linea’s team for future collaborations.
WEN TGE? WHAT’S Q1?
Here’s the plan:
Toadthegreat.eth.limo: On Toad's official website, it will feature art galleries, an online shop with the Official Toad Brand, and a members-only area for community activities powered by NFTs2Me’s APIs. The goal is to build a fully decentralized site, optimizing user experience and community management activities, with the idea of managing voting activities (DAO) in a second phase.
Comic: The first part will drop by January 30th, with the second part coming in late Q1 or early Q2—a piece of entertainment that can evolve into additional media content. We’re currently talking with several partners to expand its reach.
Enlarge the community members and prizes for LXP Holders: Launch 1,500 Free NFTs for Toads’ Holders and Top LXP Holders on Phosophor featuring the comic's cover, while simultaneously opening the “Toads Community Group” on Discord.
R&D on Digital Twins and AI Agents: We’ll publish a paper and release a beta version of our first MVP (with its own brand identity).
Support Toads Branded Initiatives: As with Donald Toad, some projects utilizing characters from our collection will receive support in terms of visibility and creative assistance.
More collabs with dApps integrating Linea: Expect contests, AMAs, and visibility events. We’re laser-focused on giving our NFTs more value and utility.
Let’s keep building! 🚀
