Quick update for the Frogs of @ThePlagueNFT 1⃣New Discord is live. I will start accelerating the vouches soon. Working through some of the bugs and the process. I have never seen so many people want to get into Discord :) Our goal is to create "clean" channel where our community can gather and not have to deal with the transients or daily shills we all get in this space. 2⃣ Exodus is moving along nicely. Over 4,000 Genesis Frogs burned so far, with a little over 1,100 new Exodus Frogs created. Elder selection process will start to be communicated next wee. 3⃣ The animation process is moving slower than I would like. I will have a more solid update on this by next week. --------------------------------- I believe this bear market will kill the majority of the remaining NFT brands. I do not believe that NFTs are dead. But certainly the NFT market as we knew it has been dead for a while. What we have left are some zombie brands, propped up by a few people hoping their bags will pump on more time. That being said, I do believe there are a good number of NFT communities (including the Frogs) that have a real opportunity to mold the industry into something meaningful. But I am sure half the comments will tell me dumb and "washed" I am.

The hardest thing to find on this app is a real human. I've been on calls all week with people I met through the @ThePlagueNFT years ago. People who actually give a sh*t. That doesn't happen by accident. Pick up a frog.

Most of what I built over the last few weeks doesn't matter. I built a full AI agent system. Dashboard, trend detection, narrative tracking, coordination flagging, SQLite database. It works. It does exactly what I designed it to do. But when I sat with it over the weekend and asked myself what part of this would anyone else actually want, the answer was uncomfortable. Most of it is just my personal workflow dressed up as a product. One piece survived that filter. The narrative intelligence engine. The part that watches CT conversations and tells you whether what you're seeing is organic or coordinated. Whether people are genuinely reacting to something or whether a handful of accounts are manufacturing a narrative. That's what I'm building next. Stripping it out, cleaning it up, and packaging it as a standalone open source tool anyone can install and run. Your accounts. Your data. Your machine. Free. More soon.

The new Frog Discord is live. There is no link. You will start seeing people get vouched for to enter into the discord. Criteria to join: 1.) Be a Frog holder. Genesis or Exodus 2.) Get vouched for by someone who is in there already. 3.) Every person in the discord is given only 2 vouches. There are two primary rules. 1.) The Golden Rule 2.) Don't shill The old Discord will stay open indefinitely. We will still make announcements there, and we will ensure every announcement is also posted from this account. Our goal is to build upon the already amazing community of PEOPLE we have in the Plague. P.S. Elder applications will start getting approved shortly.

every community says they're exclusive then they let anyone with a wallet walk in we're building a room where every person was vouched for by someone already inside no open lobby full of strangers no names nobody recognizes new infrastructure is coming soon and the bar to get in is a name someone trusted enough to put next to yours the plague is spreading make sure you're connected to someone carrying it

I was reflecting on what being a founder in the crypto space has done for me personally. It certainly has not been enriching. I would define it as a net loss if you include opportunity cost. I concluded that it has done two things for me. 1.) Opened my eyes to human nature. I have studied human nature for a long time. But I was never on social media, and I have always been good about avoiding people that cause issues. In short, I have been in a bubble. Being on X has broken me out of that bubble. 2.) Humbled me professionally. If you have followed me any amount of time, or if you hold one of my NFTs then you know why.

1 billion+ on GIPHY btw 🐹

Elder Application Process has begun

There are several companies that are acting like they are not being affected by the new X API ToS. Which means they aren't using the API, or they are ignoring the cease and desist letters. Make your money there while you can... but one thing is for sure, if you buy any assets they are selling, you are taking a big risk

All of this shows the flaws in the Ethos system. If you think you can gain clout with someone of influence by rating them well, then there is a flaw. If you think you can gain clout by slashing someone of influence or by virtue signaling then there is a flaw.

Guy who hates InfoFi because of the concept of posting for rewards, would like you to know that for $200 he will post on behalf of your project.

where are we?

We are making a list

2025 was wild on all fronts. I am not sorry to see it go. Wishing you all a fruitful 2026. Happy New Year!

I agree But two things. 1.) if I could accurately predict 100% of the time which projects we’re going to have successful TGEs , there would be no reason for me to be building a business. I would just make a fortune trading. 2.) this is not just an InfoFi problem. Plenty of KOL agencies have run into the same thing. Again, because it is very hard to predict what will be successful at what will not be successful.
