99.5% for the community.
0.5% (40 NFTs) for the team.
Each of us gets 1 (including me) - not just the artists behind the PFPs, but everyone building Dino and @sleepagotchi: engineers, PMs, designers.
Because Dino isn’t just a PFP - it’s everything we’ve built.
1,000+ collab requests in 48 hours 🤯
Bigger than we imagined.
Filtering with @wallchain_xyz trust scores to manage inbound:

Why we're doing a free mint for Sleepagotchi's NFTs:
We debated this internally, but here's why we're confident it's the right move:
1) Community first. We want to give back to the people who believe in us from day one.
2) Maximize holder upside. As @LucaNetz says about
Spent the last 2 months building our free-mint PFP collection.
Huge respect for how much work actually goes into these -- edge cases, post-processing, scaling, rarity, unisex traits.
This game is won on the details.
We didn’t want Dino to be “just another NFT.”
Before launching the collection, we tested whether Dino could resonate with mainstream audiences—without any crypto incentives.
A few months ago, Dino made the front page of Daily Mail.
Proof that Dino already has mass appeal.
Dino started as a plush toy on a bed in Sleepagotchi v1 (OGs remember)

Hey @alexisohanian, big fan. We're building a sleep&collect app: 1 free NFT every morning, 2 if you slept well. We got PH product of the day, bootstrapped our Alpha to 4K DAUs, 70+% D31 retention.
We were offered warm intros to @sevensevensix but thought a public DM's more fun😉
