Normies, a project, a new paradigm: In February 18, I and Yigit launched Normies after working on every single detail, every possible risk, auditing everything multiple times to make sure we are doing something real, safe and notable. At first we had 10,000 Normies, we had already 2 things on our roadmap. 1. Canvas 2. Arena Canvas is the main value of the Normies. It allows collectors to customize their NFTs, fully on-chain, permissionless. It's possible thanks to being fully on-chain, thanks to being pixel-art collection. There are some on-chain collections that you can contribute, add accessory, change the name of token. But we wanted to give all the keys to the collectors. Your NFT, your rules. Since we had Canvas in our roadmap, we kept mint price very low to let people get more Normies for customization. Mint price was 0.005 ETH (less than $10 at mint time). Collection floor was around same price for few more days. We have seen many people buying. But they were not JUST buying, they were also burning, customizing their Normies. Over the past 60 days, collectors of Normies burned 1730 NFTs, valued at around $500,000. This is not a game, this is not a flex. This is called conviction. A holder burned 100 Normies in single transaction when floor was around 0.17 ETH. It means they burned $40,000. They did it for a good reason, canvas is there, to be customized. We had Arena in our roadmap from day zero. Arena is a game, where holders opt-in and compete each other to win pixels (Action Points). It's not a war, it's reward for holders, to have fun, to get more pixels for editing their Normies. Since launch we had many good ideas about Arena from our OG holders. We are shaping Arena that will let us to have fun, not fight. We will share details about Arena soon. We launched our API two days after Launch. We basically invited "everyone" to build on top of Normies. We gave the keys to everyone. As a result, we have seen people who passionate about building. 60 tools/apps were created on top of Normies. Moral of the story; we had some ideas, we had a collection of Normies but where Normies stands today is shaped by collectors/holders. We are a team, always listens, get feedback, have call with hodlers, host holder only calls in our Discord and note every single idea and review them for possible future integrations. Over the past 2 weeks, we had many productive calls, discussions that helped us to shape the HIVE and agentic integration of Normies. As we always did and will do in the future; we are not in a rush. We will work on every single detail to make every step notable, adding value to Normies and Normies ecosystem. We could open ERC-8004 registeration 2-3 weeks ago, and today i can clearly say: "Thank god, we didn't do it". Because ERC-8004 registry for an NFT collection doesn't make an NFT collection "agentic". There are multiple problems in front of it. But also there are many solutions that we are going to implement and deliver. Things take time and a lot of study. I am doing it for years, since i was kid. I had an interest about something, i studied, practiced and i mastered it at the end of the day. I had some spray cans when i was kid, i tried writing my name on my room's door, now i can proudly say i am good street artist. I was designing shoes that a 20% of the country wear, i designed/built high end furnitures that made 50-60% of the company's turnover. With Normies, I am studying, working really hard every day since launch to master it. It takes 15 hours of my day. Good thing is: I enjoy every second of working on Normies. We are the sponsors of NFC Lisbon, we will meet holders and non-holders. We will gift Normies related products, posters, displays. We will talk, we will chat and create a strong relationships. I will talk on the stage, tell more people about what we are doing. Not just NFTs. A new paradigm. TL;DR: NORMIES.
