πΉ Miss The First Mint Live Show this week? LG & Phil chopped it up with collector Josh Ong, got some strange vibes rolling with the Bonsai by ZENFT crew, and formally said goodbye to Cool Cats. Check out the full replay here, and our Cool Cats Tribute video from the awesome community submissions below (shout out to our man @topshotsnipes for the editing skills).
It's hard to say goodbye to Cool CatsπΏ
So we asked the community to help us make a proper Cool Cats tribute videoπΊ

News From The Lab π§ͺ
What I think of every time i see the name Roham. Obscure Lord of the Rings quotes, anyone?
Roham has entered the chat (if you were confused about the subject line, itβs from this scene in LOTR). The Dapper Labs CEO joined Community lead Jacob Eisenberg for βOffice Hoursβ on Friday, hitting on a variety of topics, developments and user concerns. Our live thread:
Office Hours w @Eisenberg43 @rohamg π
COOL CATS MASTER BENEFITSπΌ
βͺοΈ Anyone can get in on benefits (Cat Lounge Discord)
βͺοΈ Allows future collectors to be able to buy in
βͺοΈ Will be able to tell WHO did challenge, WHO bought in, potential badges
β‘οΈLive Thread with the updatesπ½
A quick breakdown of the most important tidbits:
πΊ Cool Cats β Sounds like they really want to make the CC holders feel exclusive. Roham talked about the challenge being the βSoHo Houseβ membership of Top Shot β with more functionality/perks to come in the future.
πUtility β We got lots of juicy info on potential uses for moments going forward, including the likely implementation of both staking and burning moments down the road. Closer is in-arena benefits for collectors, which will be experimented with βrelatively soonβ.
π¦Marketplace β Lots of good insights here, including future plans for more withdrawal options (give us North Americans access to that FLOW token π), the addition of an in-house economist to the team, and various platform improvements (ex: listing full sets).
