Before you begin, we recommend a Nouns Lofi or Noun Sounds for background music.
Boxy and MathCan are excited to announce their casting in Nouns: A Movie, The Rise of Blus!
The artists have already started to give us some sneak peeks and UglyDAO is excited to see Boxy and MathCan's Hollywood debut!
Boxy and MathCan aren't the only stars in UglyDAO though! The youngest of the Uggos is always making us so proud! Lil Purple Blueberry built Blueberry DAO to support local children’s charities. For their first project they partnered with Variety-the Children’s Charity in supporting the charity's Bikes for Kids program.
to 13yo Evie-Rose! 
Lil Purple Blueberry presented a bike and ⌐◨-◨ to Evie-Rose, who lives with scoliosis, and with a brother also living with disability. The presentation heralds a new era where digital assets translate to real-world impact. Blueberry DAO, steered by community consensus, is poised to redefine charity, ensuring transparency and direct impact.
"I'm super excited about the collaboration with Variety Children's Charity! When I started Blueberry DAO, my goal was to help kids who need support and make a difference in their lives. Building a community of kind-hearted people who want to help was a big dream, and using blockchain technology to do it allows the community to make decisions together. Plus, I get to make it all fun with my pixel art!
I really hope that other kids and families get inspired by what we're doing. We can all come together and do something good, no matter how big or small. It's amazing to see Variety as part of Blueberry DAO, especially after they joined through bidding on a PURP token. And together we're able to make a child happier through the proposal that the DAO funded for a bike package. Variety's expertise in charities and philanthropy is like a treasure chest of knowledge, and I can't wait to learn from them."
Amazing!! UglyDAO couldn't be prouder of our youngest member! Learn more about Blueberry DAO or pick up a token at: blueberrydao.xyz
