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! Nouns: A Movie ⌐◨-◨ @nounsmovie The community casting for Episode 2 is here! Looking through hundreds of submissions, we landed on the following to make an appearance in the next segment. Details below 168 1:54 PM • Aug 2, 2023 The artists have already started to give us some sneak peeks and UglyDAO is excited to see Boxy and MathCan's Hollywood debut! Nouns: A Movie ⌐◨-◨ @nounsmovie Well Nouns can be anything! @uglynouns is bound to turn some heads cc @ProfWerder 21 1:29 PM • Aug 10, 2023 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. BlueberryDAO @blueberry_dao Exciting day at Blueberry DAO as we presented a brand new bike package to 13yo Evie-Rose! Together with Variety the Children’s Charity and inspiration from Nouns ⌐◨-◨ , we’re making positive changes for kids in need. 24 4:02 AM • Aug 16, 2023 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!

Without Ripe, i would have never known that is even possible, and Opepen as we know it wouldn't exist today (on the same contract without a migration like for Checks). 52 2:27 PM • Aug 20, 2023 bullseye_0x 🎯 || 0xFUNFT.eth @0xBullseye This is so super clean … some @autoglyphs vibes. @opepeneditionset 014 by @ripe0x 3 6:14 PM • Aug 20, 2023 pixelnews.eth 📰 @pixelnews_xyz Spoke too soon on the @opepenedition double opt-in this weekend ...
