### Getting Ready for Business 🏪

*   As a commerce-centered metaverse, we’re continuously developing and ideating on the future of gamified shopping, **leading in VR.**
    
*   Highstreet residents can get a first-hand quack at our virtual Shopify storefronts with FOMO Duck Shop as a testing ground on [Highstreet Campus](https://www.highstreet.market/metaverse), or take the elevator up to the recently opened “Little Shop” in FOMO Eden — an exclusive space for FFDS holders.
    
*   The shop’s current featured **#phygital** product is our squishy, _lucky_ [collectible plushie](https://shop.fomoduck.com/products/fomo-fomo-plushie).

### Monthly Buyback Program (w/Uniswap) 🦄

*   We too are FOMO for our own [FOMO Ducks](https://app.uniswap.org/#/nfts/collection/0x78f190efe7b9198b76207f14d90ba96fb782680e) and have initiated a program to **sweep ducks back to our treasury.**
    
*   These treasury ducks will be vaulted and used in future contests and giveaways to further give holders new and old a chance to enter the squad.
    
*   ffdsdao.eth swept 5 ducks on January 1, 2023 🧹🧹🧹

### Gotta Catch ‘Em Ducklings 🌪️

*   In December, we launched our **MMO Quest system** along with [FOMO Eden](https://medium.com/highstreet-market/fomo-eden-your-gateway-to-relaxation-within-highstreet-world-90ded593191f), an exclusive rooftop lounge for holders. _Did you earn your custom Totem from Carver Carl yet?_
    
*   Not only is Eden a delivery on a promise made to our community at the beginning of our journey, but also a **playground jam-packed with easter eggs** that tease the backstory of our beloved anatine mascot.
    
*   Keen-eyed observers will enjoy the lore’s richness and anticipate the conflict slowly being introduced to fuel the next chapter of Highstreet World’s development.
