If any NFT project is still worth looking forward to in a bear market, Doodles 2 is certainly one of them. Now, the latest iteration of the Doodles project, beloved by the crypto community, has finally arrived.

On January 25th, Doodles officially announced that it would release Doodles 2 on the Flow blockchain (Doodles is still on the Ethereum blockchain), which would allow anyone to make a "base doodle" and "select common features like skin tone and hair color". Doodles 2 can also be customized using wearable items with different rarity levels. In addition, the Doodles 2 NFT will be "dynamic" and images will be available in either full body or PFP form.

Of course, if you've been watching Doodles since 2021, you probably won't be too surprised that Doodles 2 is changing its blockchain. A cross-chain project of this size can't be left to chance, and NFT holders of Doodle and its supporting projects shouldn't be too worried.

What is Doodles 2?

NFT Eco Doodles is derived from the comic book character created by crypto artist Scott Martin (aka "Burnt Toast").

To be honest, the Doodles project has made a lot of progress over the past year (albeit not with a very active social media presence), especially for its CEO Julian Holguin and Pharrell Williams joining the project executive team directly to give hope to the community, Doodles naturally lived up to expectations, as Doodles 2 was finally welcomed after a series of products and services from Space Doodles to Dooplicator, Genesis Box and Doodle Records.

Doodles has retained a large audience over the past year and a half using community, attractive artwork, self-expression and personalization NFT as a community-driven collectible project, with a total release of 10,000 Doodles, primarily based on BurntToast artwork designs, Doodles 2's mission was to give everyone a digital identity and act as a passport to all products in the entire ecosystem, including NFT experiences, games, apps, music, animation releases, and allow fans to personalize and get inspired.

In fact, Doodles 2 is not a "companion" project, but exists as a new scheme to get more NFT enthusiasts to join Doodles, especially those outside the Ethereum ecosystem. On Tuesday January 24th Doodles announced that it had bought Golden Wolf, an Emmy-nominated animation studio, in a deal that would expand Doodles' franchise, although Golden Wolf would remain independent. But Ingi Erlingsson, its founder and chief executive, will serve as Doodles' chief content officer while building the next wave of Doodles products. Sources say Golden Wolf may push Doodles to become "everyone's doodles."

According to Doodles official explanation, Doodles 2 allows users to customize the NFT appearance by attributes such as body, hair and mood. Users can also customize Doodles using wearable gear (clothing, accessories, gadgets, etc.). This "dynamic" NFT body can be integrated and shared on social media and IRLs. Everyone will be able to buy, sell and trade the wearable NFT, which will be officially released, some by Doodles themselves, and some in collaboration with partners, musicians and creators.

What exactly does Doodles 2 give NFT holders?

Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou believes Doodles is well positioned to help build the Web3 future, as Doodles is already an iconic brand and has a very active community. With a simple user experience, scalable technology, Doodles 2 will open up the world to all, and more importantly, Doodles captures the key to the next wave of Web3 adoption - usability and fun.

In terms of mechanics, Doodles NFT owners will be rewarded on January 31st by activating Dooplicator (a Doodles' super power device '). Actually, the Dooplicator is the first step on the Doodles 2 journey, allowing owners to make the first edition of the Doodles 2 wearable. Next up (expected in about a month), Genesis Box will release the second edition of its wearable for NFT owners. In addition, any version of the wearable unlocked during this period will include a Doodles 2 Beta Pass, allowing owners to access and create their own "private beta" Doodle tool in the near future.

According to Doodles co-founder Jordan Castro, Doodles 2 is essentially "customizable Doodles." Unlike the original NFT series, Doodles 2 has two different types of NFT. One is a "doodle", which you can think of as a "mannequin". A basic character on which you can customize different attributes, all of which are recorded on the chain. The second is "wearable Doodles", wearable devices that can be combined with doodles to create desired styles (Doodles 2 below).

In the beginning, Doodles NFT owners were allowed to design their own personalized body, hair, emotions and, of course, wearable gear, creating a whole new "Doodles microeconomy" as everyone could buy, sell and trade wearable NFTS. Doodles 2 lets users make a basic level doodle, select common features such as skin tone and hair color, and change the appearance as needed. In the future, Doodles NFT owners can expect to see more new devices released, including the ability to switch between full-body or PFP perspectives and unlock animated versions of the NFT with original music.

Doodles CEO Julian Holguin believes that the Doodles core community has started to use their Doodles as a kind of social representation of themselves and will eventually become a part of social media. The cool thing about Doodles 2 is that it gives owners a lot of tools to help them build their own "digital representation", which creates a sense of "community identity".

Why the Flow blockchain?

It's been a year since it expanded its ecosystem, but the new Doodles 2 was a surprise because it didn't choose Ethereum. As an iconic NFT brand, Doodles 2 was released on Flow blockchain. Jordan Castro, co-founder of the project, explained that Doodles 2 was hosted on Flow blockchain for two reasons:

1. Flow blockchain has simple user experience, strong scalability and no Gas cost;

2. The future of NFT is multi-chain, choosing different blockchains can expand Doodles license and ecosystem access.

However, Jordan Castro clarified that choosing Flow does not mean abandoning Ethereum and that Doodles will continue to work on developing Ethereum's on-chain Doodles ecosystem:

"Doodles didn't marry Flow, but chose a blockchain that would solve the current problem. Doodles 2 is a mass market product and in this context, choosing a multi-chain strategy is necessary for future roadmap development."

As we have seen from other influential NFT projects, ecological extension is often successful in creating value and breaking new ground. It remains to be seen what impact the expansion to Flow blockchain will have for the Doodles community, but it is clear that the Doodles team is working hard to define the Web3 brand and the NF consensus in the crypto community is going from strength to strength as the head NFT project recovers. Doodles 2 should get some value support.
