• The team desires to create a collection that stimulates meaningful conversations that dive deep into the art and its messages instead of the usual and shitty promises in the space. With this, they decided to bring this reflection to life through a collection of 5000 1/1 pieces, each individually hand-drawn on Instagram stories.

Website

The website immediately tells you that they are serious in their message. Looking at it, the Buddy Bucks website is fun, interactive, and it is and will never be, for me, boring.

• Another cool thing to note is the option of ‘A Letter to you” in their webpage

If you are a lazy arse, then the summary is through the following:

Art that stands time – Being a child is a bliss, being an adult is a curse if time is inappropriately allotted. It entails living as you want to live by grinding your way through financial freedom in your terms to live your life as you want to live it.

Our Message to you – Always move with purpose as time is fleeting, the world shall soon be your playground. Mint details 5,000 1/1 pieces hand drawn using Instagram stories Mint price, public date, and buying a Buddy buck is TBA WL spots – TBA to acquire but, as for me, I got it through a collaboration Fun fact – it took 12 months to complete the project

Mint details

5,000 1/1 pieces hand drawn using Instagram stories

Mint price, public date, and buying a Buddy buck is TBA

WL spots – TBA to acquire but, as for me, I got it through a collaboration

Fun fact – it took 12 months to complete the project

Bullish Points:

1. Website is fun AF, visit it and you will know what I am talking about

2. If they will keep true to their promise, which personally experiencing it, I think they will, then it will be a statement to the space, not just some another shitty ass promise

3. Their social networks are always full of positivity – this may seem normal, but their delivery is unique as they use their art with it.

4. The art – it is original, might even add memeable, and it is pleasurable to the eyes I had a moderator on one of the servers I am in compliment my PFP (this is an honorary PFP they made for me, love the fam in their discord)

5. Dedication – they started the project, assuming that their first tweet is the start, on December 30, 2022, 3:01AM Pacific Time

   They have been active until now, and it shows consistency and dedication to finish what they started.

6. Giveaways - It simply shows funding, that they are not here for cash grabs, rugs, or even draining our wallets. Their giveaways are one of a kind, and it shows that they have a fund to build this project.

The Sui Name Service is what one may presume is the existing domain of SNS, while the PFP NFT Supply is NFTs that are up for sale (High quality, low mint price). SNS also has various OATs that have different uses and one can get these OATs by keeping up to date with their announcements and tweets. 

The welcome section of the Discord server is the typical welcome section of every server with the welcome, verify, rules, FAW, links, roles, and crew 3 as its subsections. Crew 3 is a platform in which you can complete quests to obtain privileges, in this case, Stork and Stork+ roles in their Discord. 

The Whitelist section of the Discord has to get stork, super stork, oat holder, SNS PFP NFT, and various chats that will be unlocked once you get the role (Stork, Stork+, and Super Stork). You can get these roles Stork, Stork+, and Super stork by doing the following:

Stork

• Filling out the form

• Twitter raids, Invites, Activities, Memes, and Twitter Engagement

• Claim the Stork role when you're LVL 11 at their Crew 3 (I think they updated it up to LVL 13 or LVL 14 now)

Stork+

• Claim the Stork+ role when you're LVL 20 in their Crew 3

Super Stork

• The Top 5 on their Crew 3 leaderboard will be rewarded with this role and it will happen every week.

The remaining sections of the Discord will be discussed in the following discussion. For more information, you can visit their handles below:

The Twitter social of the SNS (@snsstork) has 44 following, 169.2k followers, and 403 tweets as of the writing of this article. In looking at these statistics given by Twitter social. We can state that SNS is taking its goal (For the people) seriously since they only tweet the crucial aspect of its project instead of tweeting theatrical nonsense all the time. 

It is important for a project that plans to be the biggest in the SUI blockchain since tweeting is only a vital part of its journey toward its goal. It will be easier for people, partners, or interested collab projects to do a background check or to backtrack what could they have missed in their Twitter social. Even in their Twitter, they are providing ease of access by making their Twitter social easily accessible and back trackable to anyone who wants to do it. 

The following social we will discuss is their Discord social. For anyone interested, you can visit their Twitter then you can see the link to their Discord in their Twitter profile. The statistics of their Discord are as follows: 384 boosts, 157, 654 members, and 75 early testers. During my stay in their Discord, there were no spamming, their community was willing to take their time to answer your questions (I asked multiple questions, and the community answered them for me), and I admire the daily games/quiz that they do to keep their community active and engaged to the project. These games/quizzes have rewards, and from what I've seen (and I participated in one quiz), the one who will get the Top 1 will "Get storked" per se. 

The socials of the SNS prove that they are serious about what they are building and that they always try to keep things fun and enjoyable for their community, adhering to their goal which is for the people.

Founder (Twitter) - @mistertoucan

Here, we will talk about the socials of the $SNS, which comprises three (3) things: Twitter, Discord, and Crew 3. We will explore their activeness, the relevance of their content, how they communicate to the community (especially since they state that they are for the people), their partnerships, collaborations, and how they make the community contribute, to the Crew 3 quests. 

Crew 3 quests 

The first article is about the Crew 3 quests. These quests comprise seven (7) things: about, invites, ambassadors, articles, tweets, storks, and discord levels. 

The about section of the Crew 3 quests is the daily tasks that one needs to do to level up in Crew 3 and the several significant events about the project and the community.

The invites, articles, and tweets section of this is self-explanatory. It is about affiliates, and the more you progress, the more exp you will get, and the faster you will obtain the Stork. Articles and tweets are the same. You write articles for the $SNS or tweet about them using your Twitter account to acquire exp and level up. 

The ambassadors' section is all about memes. I presume that you can be a $SNS ambassador if you make relevant and trendy memes that people will laugh at wholeheartedly or share their thoughts and ideas. 

Discord level is all about leveling up in their Discord channel, and one can do this by doing several activities or participating in discord events. 

Stork is what I think, the Crew 3 quests are all about. Stork is synonymous with owning a part of $SNS. It is one's access to being a full-fledged member of the $SNS. As the founder stated:

The stork role makes you an Owner in the SNS. 

What does this mean? 

My goal is to create a protocol that is owned by people who really care about it and have helped build it. That means if you earn the Stork role, you'll immediately get: 

(1): Name registration before everyone else on Mainnet 

(2): Inclusion in 2.5% of SNS DAO tokens on release (Specifically allocated out of the 25% for community) 

(3): Direct access to me & the development team 

(4): Special OATs, rewards, giveaways 

(5): & more added daily Stork is a lifetime role. 

Once you get it once, you'll reap benefits forever. No project on #Sui or Crypto is doing this.

That is all for today's article. The following article will focus on socials, Twitter, and Discord. Thank you!

Whitepaper

https://sns-domains.gitbook.io/whitepaper/

Twitter - @snsstork

Founder (Twitter) - @mistertoucan

Governance (Phase 3: Q3 2023 - Q4 2023. THIS IS DEMOCRACY) In this phase, SNS will reward the ones that matter to them the most - the community. It means that the community will receive power without endangering the project; SNS will fulfill its promise to the people yet will take necessary precautions so that these people will do more good than harm.

Speaking, the $SNS will do an airdrop-like project to their community, especially to the ones who hold $SNS domains and use it as they will share the greatest allocation of the airdropped tokens.

Using their own words, this is their initial plant that can be seen in their whitepaper:

1. Only 100M total $SNS tokens will exist forever.

2. 50% of the 100m supply of $SNS tokens will be locked at release. These tokens will be controlled by the $SNS parent company SolNames LLC.

The 50% released token supply shall be distributed accordingly: 25% to the community (2.5% exclusively allocated as extra for whitelist participants) 10% to the parent company as an investment 15% to the founding team and active contributors - discord, valuable contributions (48-month vesting schedules)

1. Tokens will eventually receive dividends from $SNS-owned products, creating a REAL utility for long-term ownership. Dividends will be based on a % of specific $SNS product profits. The exact distribution is unknown, but this is one of the team's personal goals - to create real value for the community.

With this in mind, it will create a system of checks and balances that the developers and the community's active contributors will benefit massively. Profitability is one of their goals as it incites competitiveness while maintaining friendly relations with others.

Business & Beyond (Phase 4: Q4 2023 - BEYOND. Disrupt, disrupt, disrupt)

Here, the owner briefly concludes their plans and their vision for the future, yet they did not disclose confidential details of the project since competition is always nearby.

If you have any questions, whatsoever or potentially would like to join the team as a Co-Founder, please message me on the official Discord, (sns.domains/discord), or email me at "anthony@sns.domains"

Insights In writing about $SNS, they are the very first domain of the SUI blockchain. "Strike the fire while it is hot" is one of the quotes that I like and this applies to everything in the SUI as of the moment, especially $SNS. Since SUI is new and trending so far, building a project that comes along with this community is beneficial to that project and to that community's project. When mainnet starts, all projects will encounter difficulties along the way of building themselves to what they envisioned in the future, yet, I have full confidence that $SNS will manage to topple it all and become what we call a "bluechip" project in the SUI blockchain.

Payments (Phase 1: Q3 2022 - Q1 2023. The BIG break)

The payments section of their whitepaper is all about wallet addresses and how they plan to be the $ENS of the SUI. Being the $ENS or the Ethereum Name Service of SUI is tough to achieve since it requires ease of use. Domain names and internet protocol addresses should match to provide ease of use for average internet users. In this case, if these domains are flawed, complicated, and not seamless, then only a handful of people will use them. One must take into consideration the crypto adoption. If the $SNS is successful in being the $ENS or even a better version, people might adopt it. Using their own words, "our goal is to disrupt the name-service ecosystem with a new .sui name service focused on gaming, profiles, and community. This phase has three primary goals:"

1. Build up the $SNS community

2. Release our name service & resolver extension

3. Raise enough funds to continue the development

It is the most challenging part for the $SNS, but if it is successful, they will reap the fruit of their hard work. 

Profiles (Phase 2: Q1 2023 - Q1.5 2023. Where it starts coming together.... bang bang)

Simply put, the ease of social media. Profiles focus on delivering the "ease of usage" that I talked about in the first section (payments). By creating a profile in the $SNS, people can easily see your owned NFTs and vice versa without opening another tab to move to Etherscan; it comes with a neat UI/UX for the people like me who wants it plain and simple. 

Users have the option to connect their social media or to remain web2 anonymous, the choice is in the user's hands. Another feature they boast of is the ease of signing in, like Google Chrome. It is only a matter of clicking or pressing buttons to sign in. 

All of these features in their profiles stem from the concept of community-driven by $SNS. In having this concept, they are true to their word that $SNS is for the people since they prioritize their users (ease of usage and sign-in) over others.

Services (Phase 3: Q1.5 2023 - Q3 2023. You've GOT MAIL)

The principal service that $SNS highlight is SUI-based messaging. It is encrypted, untraceable, and FREE to use. 

Sui profiles will utilize this in NFT messaging. Anybody can message the owner of one of their favorite NFTs and try to negotiate with them on chain. The use of .sui registration and a clean, seamless browser extension makes this possible. However, this extension is not necessary. 

As the community is the focus of $SNS, their features are all voluntary, but it provides seamless and easy usage features for those who will be a part of them. 

For part 2 and the last part of this blog, we will tackle the governance and Business & Beyond section of $SNS.

Founder (Twitter) - @mistertoucan

The Founder

The CEO, Anthony (@mistertoucan), is a full-stack developer, CEO, and head of marketing for the project. He says that he nothing will hinder his way for the success of this project and believes in the people of SUI. His credentials are as of follows:

• Georgetown University

  • BS, Computer Science (3.93 GPA)

  • Coinbase AML Research

• Shopify App Company

  • Independently founded

  • 15,000+ Businesses

• Self-taught programming in 6th grade

As what we can see, Anthony is not new in the marketing business as he independently founded a Shopify App company that transacted at least 15,000+ businesses. It shows that marketing is his forte. Having a Computer Science degree along with the necessary experience to back it up is of crucial matter as SNS, in its essence, is crypto, and as we all know, crypto is technology. With this in mind, a Computer Science degree will be of assistance in programming about the project. Knowing about the CEO/founder of a project is significant since there are various instances when they will face a make or break situation. What this entails is that the founder or CEO for this kind of project must be experienced, have a deep background regarding his work, and must possess a good character. I will let you decide if the founder, Anthony, is deserving of this, but, personally speaking, I believe that he is. For business transactions, contact Anthony at sns.domains.

Vision of SNS

The $SNS is about the community coming together and building something together

Observing SUIs historically ground-breaking technology to use for a practical, marketable reason. Gaming is almost synonymous to cryptocurrency since it enters the space frequently, the $SNS is so focused on it. Gamers are more computer literate than typical consumers, and they are already familiar with real-world applications for crypto-concepts, such as CSGO skins as NFTs.

The $SNS aims to create a community-owned Sui Name Service, or "Gmail for Crypto Gaming," that will serve as your digital identity for services and products related to cryptocurrency gaming. The ".sui" top-level domain will regulate each ".sui" registration's equivalent ".sui" TLD. Currently, they are starting off as a name service for Sui, but our goal is to develop an eco-system of products on Sui that one can access via your web browser.

We will connect Web2 to Web3 with Community Oversight.

Every game has a profile system via which you may communicate with friends, see their collections of skins, in-game stuff, and achievements, and send and confirm transactions. Building on Sui would make all of these seamless.
