It’s been an incredible first 3 weeks for DDG, not only celebrated by many, but surrounded by an infectiously positive energy that’s been amazing to witness Over the past 9 months, we carefully planned every part of this experience: the art, the theme, the traits, the balance, the sub-groups, the collectibility, the lore, its past, its future, how the IP could evolve, the launch, the marketing, the honoraries, and most importantly how we could make it genuinely entertaining for those willing to immerse themselves in it No throwing things at the wall hoping something sticks. No chasing trends or shilling memecoins. Just a dedicated team building something passionately they truly believed in, with the proof of work now visible in the results What comes next is about building on top of the foundations we’ve established That’s why this was never designed to be a short-term pump, but instead a steady example of organic growth driven by a genuine community and a space celebrating something high quality that feels different, dynamic, collectible, and undeniably fun Ruang, myself, and the entire team worked incredibly hard on this for many months. As a leader, I’ll never allow that effort... or what this community has built around it... to be downplayed or dismissed Let’s keep this incredible energy around OGT & DDG moving forward with the amazing communities who stood with us Over the past 3 years we’ve proven our integrity Since 2024 we’ve proven our consistency through weekly Spaces We’ve proven our capabilities through the ecosystem we’ve continued building And now with DDG, we’ve proven our execution, creativity, and understanding of what makes IP, art, storytelling & collectibles special Let’s continue supporting those who supported us We dared to be different because… We Are Gorgez

Deadfellaz launched on August 13, 2021 — Friday the 13th — created by anonymous founders Betty (@betty_nft) and Psych (@psych_nft), a creative duo behind parent studio DFZ Labs. Psych led the art, and Betty led the brand, community, and operations. The collection of 10,000 undead PFPs minted at 0.025 ETH and sold out on the same day. Betty has spoken publicly about building Deadfellaz to fill a gap she saw in early NFT culture — a project that didn't conform to the male-dominated aesthetics of the time. The result was a cast of inclusive, genderless zombies and a community known as The Horde. Psych's art draws on horror, punk, anime, and underground pop culture, rendering each Deadfella a green-skinned antihero living on the fringes of a corporate dystopia. Every character is randomly generated across six trait categories — Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Head, Body, and Background — and every trait carries one of three grades: Fresh, Damaged, or Rotten. Fresh is the most common grade, Damaged is rarer, and Rotten is the rarest, with full Rotten combinations among the most sought-after pieces in the collection. The Horde has organized around this grade system for years, treating it as a shared visual language rather than a number on a rarity chart. Under DFZ Labs, Deadfellaz became one of the earliest NFT-native brands to break through into mainstream pop culture. The project partnered with Steve Aoki's Dim Mak in 2022 for a fashion capsule featuring skate decks, hoodies, and jackets, and joined forces with DraftKings and the NFLPA that same year to release officially licensed zombified NFTs of NFL players for use in Reignmakers fantasy football. Additional collaborations have included Wrangler on NFC-chipped vintage denim and Giuseppe Zanotti on metaverse footwear. Betty has been named to NFT Now's NFT100 list of the most influential people in NFTs in both 2022 and 2023. The Deadfellaz universe has expanded well beyond a single PFP collection. Deadfrenz, a companion project of 13,000 animal-themed NFTs introduced in early 2022, brought the same grade system into a new visual world. Death Touch, the team's digital trading card game built in partnership with SKALE Labs, is currently in playable alpha on Steam — a simultaneous-deploy card battler set across four lanes, with matches resolving in under five minutes. Through Studios and Shop verticals, the IP continues to scale into apparel, gaming, and original storytelling. The inclusion of Deadfellaz 7586 in our Flagship Collection recognizes one of the defining NFT-native brands of its generation — a project that turned a genderless zombie PFP into a cultural property spanning fashion, fantasy sports, gaming, and a community known simply as The Horde. Founded on Friday the 13th in 2021, Deadfellaz built a universe where the undead are the anti-heroes, and where Fresh, Damaged, and Rotten became the shared language of an entire ecosystem. Welcome home, 7586 🌊
