A BAYC holder by the name of <a href="http://twitter.com/pokeepandaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pokeee.eth</a> posted a video of him sweeping 69 <a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/degods" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DeGods</a> on <a href="http://magiceden.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Magic Eden</a> live on Twitter. The purchase of these NFTs cost him 38,045.4559 SOL total, or around ~$900,000. The floor of DeGods before this purchase was around 450 SOL but shot up to around 490 SOL just with this one sweep. The video itself went viral with around 4000 likes and 400,000 views in less than a day.&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/pokeepandaa/status/1614968118287433728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheashenone.notion.site%2FME-DeGods-Sweep-Tinder-Article-32e4984175a24a38a02e584f810b499f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/6dcc7862-c712-4253-1197-347c4e71a200/public"></a>For those who might not know, <a href="http://magiceden.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Magic Eden</a> has had a sweeper tool for awhile. Here's how it works: you just slide the toggle at the collection page and sweep to your heart's content. You can also turn on auto-swap so if there's a situation where someone is buying or sweeping NFTs at the same time as you, you can always swap to get the next best NFT. This ensures you're always going to end up with the number of NFTs you wanted to sweep originally!Here's the Magic Eden sweeper tool in action:<figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/e985a2b0-03ff-4b35-d496-3b0ae20de900/auction"></figure>Funnily enough, before this purchase, the sweepor contacted our Chief Degen Officer <a href="http://twitter.com/chartfumonkey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ChartFuMonkey</a> on Twitter to request for a raise in the total amount of NFTs able to be sweeped with our sweep function from 50 to 69 stating it was “of ultimate inconvenience”. Within an hour, our engineers were on it and changed the limit for Pokeee. The mad man had the power he requested and with it, he executed his master sweep.<a href="https://twitter.com/ChartFuMonkey/status/1614939220946157570?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/26d592b9-e0bb-4778-9707-5ba5f4e36d00/public"></a>And of course, with this sweep came the obligatory staple celebrations of the DeGods clan: the Shooeys. Here is a chain of the top videos submitted by their community less than 12 hours after the original tweet.<a href="https://twitter.com/Mr_Cuddlez88/status/1615157896932896768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheashenone.notion.site%2FME-DeGods-Sweep-Tinder-Article-32e4984175a24a38a02e584f810b499f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/b44be0f3-6af5-4139-817a-3fa1fc49f700/public"></a>With his newfound power of being the owner of 69 DeGods, the man did what any other person with this much power and testosterone would’ve done. He took his spoils of war to Tinder in attempts to land a date.&nbsp;Here are his top 5 attempts at a match followed by some questions we asked him about post sweep love life.<h2>1. Immediate Despair</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/cb933078-f933-482a-0029-d55cd94dda00/auction"></figure><h2>2. A Rare One Liner</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/13e2ee54-e263-4e4e-03a5-eb8a85fcc300/public"></figure><h2>3. High Standards &amp; No Time Wasted</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/2904286a-f31a-4389-bf23-df7723355300/auction"></figure><h2>4. Shooting Your Shot Even In The Face of Adversity</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/a7c1a838-3fa9-41be-90cc-e8edf58ee200/auction"></figure><h2>5. No One Said Mainstream Adoption Would Be Easy</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/da6e995a-3438-4d8e-ed05-5c7b00c4b200/auction"></figure>As we all know, with great power comes great responsibility. The women, tinder matches, fame and fortune came at the BAYC holder incredibly quickly. As we saw, his unmatched perspicacity and undying human spirit was tested heavily as he faired the deep, unforgiving waters that a holder of 69 DeGods faces. So, in attempts to gain some wisdom from <a href="http://twitter.com/pokeepandaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pokeee.eth</a>, we asked him some questions about his journey.<h2>Why did you sweep 69 DeGods?</h2>DeGods has the greatest community and culture in the entire NFT space.<h2>Why 69? Why such an uncommon number?</h2>It was more about portfolio weight. The number ended close to 73 initially and wanted a fun number.<h2>What are you going to do with these DeGods?</h2>It depends on how the asset grows. I'm looking at a long term hold and trade in and out of the asset during my free time.<h2>Are you going to bridge them over to ETH or keep them on SOL?</h2>Yes, my purpose of this investment is actually to have them bridged to ETH. Due to on-chain risks, I wasn’t able to deploy larger portions of my portfolio into Solana. I was having fun in Solana on smaller nfts and mints back then.<h2>Who is Pokeee.eth? Tell us a bit about yourself.</h2>I’m in Web 3 full time. I run a private fund where we manage only our own money. This means we employ a group of professionals to deal in all areas crypto. We mainly specialize in DeFi/Liquidity providing on pools/Staking/algo-trading.<h2>Have you swept other collections before? If so, which one(s) and why?</h2>I got a bag of <a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/balloonsville" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Balloonsville</a>. It was once the greatest rug in the history of Solana NFTS. I’ve also seen how a big community come together and they are working hard for what they want to achieve. I do have an entire portfolio of ETH NFTS too.<h2>How have you personally been handling your newfound fame?</h2>I've been on my phone for 24 hours replying to tweets. Tinder is not working out at the moment. They often back out after I try to get them to buy some DeGods. 😂 Money wise, it’s not newfound but a hard grind in the Web 3 space so I’d expect to still be savvy and stay humble 🙏<h2>Conclusion</h2>So, another historic DeGods sweep under their belt by yet another newly converted, die hard DeGods holder. This one however, done with the excitement behind their collection’s move to ETH. Is <a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/y00ts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">y00ts</a> primed for a sweep in anticipation to their move to Polygon as well or will DeGods have all the fun? We’re not even a month into 2023 and with their cross chain move planned for Q1, we still a lot of time left to tell. We look forward to supporting both collections as a cross chain platform on Solana, Polygon, and Ethereum.

💡 A true ape, Pokeee.eth (@pokeepandaa) swept 69 DeGods using Magic Eden's sweeper tool and told many women about it on Tinder in hopes of a match. None of them really cared but we’re all still really happy for the ~$900k he spent on his new jpegs.

Key Insights<ul><li>Four fabrics are sold to initiate funding for all-purpose, investment fund, treasury management and operations</li><li>Every member is provided equal access with the only benefit of holding multiple pieces of fabric being larger voting power</li><li>Everyone in the ecosystem is welcome to view the discussions being held inside <a href="https://twitter.com/theloomnft" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">theLOOM</a></li></ul>&nbsp;<h2>What is theLOOM?</h2>After chatting intimately with one of the project's founders, it was clear <a href="https://twitter.com/theloomnft" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">theLOOM</a> was an experiment brimming with potential. With a set up similar to Nouns DAO on ETH, theLOOM embodies the core concepts that web3 stands for – governance, ownership and decentralization.theLOOM centers itself around thoughtful investing and the discord discussion channel is a melting pot of unique Solana NFT traders fleshing out investment strategies.&nbsp;There’s a total of four fabrics, each granting the same access and voting eligibility. However, there is a difference in the use of funds between the four fabrics. Linen is all-purpose, Cotton is for an investment fund, Silk is for treasury management and Wool is for operations. The DAO is entrusted to vote on which fabric is sold per week.The&nbsp;<a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/linen_?status=%5B%22all%22%5D">daily auction</a> ends at 8 PM UTC, where one piece of fabric is sold off to an interested counterparty.<h2>Where does the money go?</h2>100% of auction proceeds and the founder’s art royalty (1%) are transferred into the DAO treasury. As new artists are engaged in the future, the artist will receive 100% of their agreed royalty.The first official sale was over three months ago on October 13th through word of mouth. The discord didn’t come to fruition until 60 pieces of fabric were sold. The founder has decided to forgo a Twitter group chat because it limits the discussion to 75 individuals. There’s no preferential treatment and the decision-making power has been redirected to the members essentially flipping the script we so often see in our space.<h2>What is the goal of the DAO?</h2>The goal is to value investing over gambling. By setting a daily auction, theLOOM aims to cast a wider net and draw in Solana NFT enthusiasts from all paths. If someone is priced out one day, they can rely on sweat equity to find a bargain on another day. “We want to cultivate a space where we can thoroughly discuss the investment thesis.” One of the community members also known as a “weaver” motioned on a vote to make the discord viewable and auditable to ensure transparency. The first purchase of the DAO was a custom discord security bot – MEE6. Weavers also just passed the motion to purchase SMB #1444 for 268.2 SOL as their first NFT for the treasury. The treasury currently holds 198 SOL on top of 560 USD.&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/odUZEBfhoLpkWouaYb9jdny--RqrQBjvkfxzAmPwnAh6hUQs-BFovXCAR67QXoNMU_FY12L9rMvrUAM3y4Gflu6MVw4wokBkLipooaDAwEAtbx-YrQyMqkcgCNDK7UH8OrvySAxnR9s7h180qNvlVkiTlRcm7EBKBtudQXvkiW2zQP90lrFBtldQr0tRVw">SMB #1444, purchased by theLOOMtheLOOM values transparency and the DAO allows everyone without membership to meet people and watch conversations for ideas.<h2>Who are the types of members?</h2>The founder anticipates three different types of holders. Those will 1 piece of fabric will be content with full access, whilst those with 2-5 pieces will try and arbitrage and flip for profit. Holders with over 6 pieces of fabric are gunning for voting power.<h2>How is the art constructed? How are decisions made?</h2>The founder manipulates clothing material they own in real life by altering the saturation and texture. “The idea is to take something natural and transform it into something else, similar to the way our lives have been altered through online digital experiences”.&nbsp;&nbsp;In terms of decisions, ideas percolate in the discord server for a minimum of 2 days to allow them time to breathe. Once the vote is ready, it takes place over 3 days ensuring all members have the opportunity to cast.<h2>Intertwining the threads</h2>theLOOM was an idea developed over time. The founder has worked on many projects and harnessed the lessons learned and mistakes made. “It’s little pieces from all over the place, recognizing where NFTs are now, utilizing 1/1 art, and allowing for customization. Thoughtful investing is what the space craves”The power of the project lies within its community – a concept that is so often preached but not wholeheartedly executed. theLOOMs decentralization, coupled with its transparent governance sets a strong foundation for this DAO to purchase stable NFT collection, build a sizeable treasury, collaborate with artists, all whilst providing anyone in the Solana NFT ecosystem to opportunity to&nbsp;<a href="https://t.co/A7OJZagz4z">peer into</a> these otherwise private discussions.

theLOOM is a DAO governed by holders that wield the power to individually and collectively vote on any type of decision put forth by each other

We want to empower developers with the platform and tools to come up with insightful ways to manage and motivate the payment of royalties.First place, $80,000:&nbsp;Regalia Regalia is a fully functioning royalty-tracking and fulfillment tool linked to the Regalia Oracle, which provides developers with a framework through which they can easily build their own royalty tracking tools and serves as a source of truth for royalty fulfillment.The Regalia Portal is an implementation of Regalia Oracle and is a full-fledged royalty tracking and fulfillment app for project creators and community members alike, ready for use today with plans on next steps of development outlined.Their tool suite provides developers &amp; creators with a boilerplate &amp; API framework to use as a springboard, upon which they can very easily develop their own set of royalty management tools, all while being sure that their tools will be able to communicate with others platforms that are built on top of or connect to Regalia.<ul><li><a href="https://github.com/irwynks/regalia/tree/master">Full Github</a></li><li><a href="https://regalia.live/">Regalia Portal Site</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ0x8-_rNFE">Regalia Portal Demo</a></li><li><a href="https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/19486091/2s8YzUwMBb">Regalia Oracle</a></li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/d528e4da-d456-4c01-29c6-66f4aa2b4900/auction"></figure>Second Place, $30,000:&nbsp;CPL Dashboard&nbsp;<ul><li>CPL analyses and aggregates royalty payments across all marketplaces in realtime and makes this data available in a pretty dashboard. It also includes a fully-featured API for integration into any third party application, such as staking, verification etc.</li><li><a href="https://cpl-client.vercel.app/">Demo Site</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWD8yNUpFFE">Demo Video</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/Xin-Dragons/">Github</a></li></ul>Third Place, $20,000:&nbsp;Decentralised Social<ul><li>Decentralised Social aims to incentivize royalties through a social system and governance. This social-graph based DAO governance tool brings transparency and aligned incentives to royalties by allowing the community and the team to put forward on-chain proposals for tasks that would benefit the project/community, which get funded directly from the DAO-governed Royalties treasury. Align ensures that consumer funded royalty payments are aligned better with a project &amp; product vision, while user reputation is gained through successful proposals.</li><li><a href="https://www.figma.com/proto/kJiqATz9lwEuiW42YcEDUU/Phase-%E2%80%94-Working?page-id=1418%3A568&amp;node-id=1560%3A337&amp;viewport=69%2C534%2C0.09&amp;scaling=scale-down-width&amp;starting-point-node-id=1560%3A">Demo Presentation</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePGniVPEF0Q">Demo Video</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePGniVPEF0Q">Github</a></li></ul>Fourth Place, $15,000:&nbsp;ToBeContinued<ul><li>There's a lack of trust and collaboration between creators in the current world. ToBeContinued is a collaboration platform for people to build with NFTs of attributes, clothes, accessories, etc. and mint the work as an NFT.&nbsp;ToBeContinued keeps track of royalties for base NFTs on its platform. This means that anytime there is a sale of a base NFT with accessory minted, the base NFTs’ creator royalties will always get properly attributed and rewarded. Thus, when the resulting NFT is being sold, royalties will also be sent to creators of the attributes.&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://tobecontinued-magic.netlify.app">Demo Site</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwA3WKoP5r0">Demo Video</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/karywjh/ToBeContinued-Magic">Github</a></li></ul>Fifth Place, $10,000:&nbsp;Karmabot<ul><li>Karmabot is a platform and discord bot to track, manage, and incentivize royalty payments for Solana communities &amp; creators.

This track touched upon helping NFT creators to develop those additional sources of income and monetization opportunities, outside of royalties.First place, $30,000:&nbsp;AuroraLiteAuroraLite is a subscription based revenue model for Solana projects. Projects can offer their community a subscription rank that is purchasable inside their discord to support the project by paying a monthly fee (SOL).If users decide to buy this subscription they will be granted a specific role(subscription role) inside the discord that the project selected before which offers for example exclusive content/access. Using AuroraLITE projects can set up a unique subscription experience for their users and can receive a monthly revenue stream.<ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8MraU73NDY">Demo Video</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/Flokyyy/auroralite">Github</a></li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://imagedelivery.net/E-VnZk4fwouzlzwX_qz4fg/9a9ddfc6-8c86-4411-14a9-3ad87d358000/public"></figure>Second place, $20,000:&nbsp; Web3 Music Vault<ul><li>The Web3 Music Vault gives NFT Music Fans the ability to unlock NFT music for as long as they possess an NFT or to get temporary access via a content-accessed NFT.</li><li><a href="https://web3musicvault.xyz/">Demo Site</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m58DfZnxclY">Demo Video</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/web3-music-vault/webapp">Github</a></li></ul>Third place, $15,000:&nbsp;Creator Rent<ul><li>The creator-rent smart contract allows NFT collection owners to start a rent collection plan for their NFT collection by setting the rent collection period (ex. once a month) and a rent price.

Each NFT gets a 24 hour countdown which starts whenever a person buys an NFT without royalties. The countdown is terminated if royalties/fee are paid on projects website or when it's sold to another person with royalties. Monetisation for the project is based on the tweaks that can be done with the countdown and metadata: prolongation/termination of countdown, changes in metadata (rarity, attributes, benefits) based on the countdown, 'revival' of NFT through payment.</li><li><a href="https://github.com/DenisParamount/destruct">Github</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krO8dXZs_PE">Demo Video</a></li></ul>Judges’ Award, $5,000: Helm<ul><li>Helm is an alternative for digital content creators to Fund, Publish and Sell their digital work.
