Latest update from @MallardOrder Discord -
Happy New Year, everyone!
I took a short break to focus on some major Web3 developments, and now the team and I are gearing up to relaunch Raiders Guild this month. Backend and frontend are fully ready; we're just locking in the final marketing assets, information decks, and ongoing conversations with ecosystem leaders from Cardano, @HyperliquidX, Base, XRP, and various Ordinals teams.
We’re aiming for a high-impact re-release. @RaidersGuild will be one of the first dApps to accept $NIGHT (Midnight) as a valid form of payment starting with marketing campaigns. That’s just the start.
We’ve integrated multiple platforms including Twitch and Reddit, and we’re excited to unveil our new “Quests” section, a fully on-chain affiliate marketing system. These offers are paid out directly by marketing networks, meaning you can continue to earn by downloading apps like Grammarly, playing games, completing tasks, and more even if you've completed all the raids for the day.
This gives Raiders Guild a unique edge over other raiding platforms in Web3.
We’re also rolling out a Social Ranking Score tracking social content related to Cardano and Midnight. Top creators will earn seasonal rewards, incentivizing educational and positive content around both ecosystems.
Void Mirror Mint Returns
We’re reopening the Void Mirror mint on Cardano after reaching an amicable resolution with Boxlord, our original artist. He’s excited to support the return of this mint. The previous shutdown was due to internal disagreements, now resolved.
This mint now comes with a twist: it will connect directly to our Midnight mint once the network goes live (we’re currently testing on testnet). We’re aiming to be one of the first NFT projects to mint on Midnight, and this serves as both access and pre-sale eligibility for our upcoming RUNE V2 IDO.
Holders of existing Void Mirrors/TMO Comic Issue# 2 will receive:
-A free Midnight Mallard Order NFT
-A larger allocation of RUNE V2 tokens
-Additional surprise rewards
We’re also introducing new pricing and accepting $NIGHT, $ADA, $SNEK, and $HOSKY as payment methods. There are 3,335 Void Mirrors remaining. The mint won’t close until it's fully sold out. I’ll be hosting daily Twitter Spaces to share more and promote across multiple chains.
A Mint with Purpose
This mint acts as a crowdfunding initiative to fuel a community-led treasury using SIGIL multi-sig. We’ll be electing 10 community council members via Discord voting throughout January.
These members will guide treasury allocations using tools like Fluxpoint Studios’ ADAM bot to manage ventures. The goal: ensure continuous financial flow for Mallards, regardless of market conditions.
Expanding Cross-Chain with Purpose
Expect mint drops for XRP, Hyperliquid, and Base each featuring:
-Raiders Guild Passes for discounted marketing campaigns
-Access to new comic issues
-Future PFP utility
-Funds from each mint feed back into our community-managed treasury, reinforcing our core loop: all roads lead back to Raiders Guild.
Kickstarter & Print Shop Initiatives
After selling out the Web3 comic issues, we’ll launch a Kickstarter for the physical release. Early supporters from Web3 will receive:
-Rebates for backing the Kickstarter
-Exclusive merch & collectibles
-Special recognition in print editions
We’ll run paid ads to drive traction and convert part of the raised funds to USDM (Cardano native stablecoin) for treasury growth.
Our Print Shop goes live in early February. We’re also launching Etsy and eBay storefronts to bring in Web2 revenue. With in-house printing and minimal overhead, this becomes a sustainable Web2 cash stream to supplement our Web3 ecosystem.
Mallard Buyback Program
Through our new treasury, a % of all revenue will go to a Mallard buyback and relisting program:
-Buy floor Mallards
-Relist at 1.2× original price
Reinvest full resale amount back into the treasury
A bot will notify the community when buybacks happen, ensuring transparency and liquidity support.
This is the year we move fast, build hard, and make noise. We’ve learned from our past, built in silence, and now it’s time to go all in. Our goal is to launch an activation every month this year with Raiders Guild and our mint going live this month!
Let’s Mallard UP and take Raiders Guild and the whole ecosystem to the next level.
