📊 Flow Blockchain Data of the Week
In case you missed the news, Doodles 2 is on Flow Blockchain 🌈
The first Doodles was one of the most influential Ethereum-based PFP projects.
It consisted of 10,000 colorful line-drawn characters. The collection was amongst the highest in sales volume on Opensea and Ethereum.
This led to the company behind Doodles raising $54m at a $704m valuation in 2022.
Doodles 2 will enable users to equip wearables (aka clothing items) to a Doodles avatar. Where both the wearables and the avatars are NFTs on Flow.
It’s now been 2 weeks since Doodles 2 Wearables came to Flow. So how’s it all going?
Our friends, the Flipside community, compared the metrics of Ethereum Doodles and Doodles 2 on Flow.
Result Summary
Weekly Doodles buyers on Ethereum: 229 vs. 375 on Flow (+64% on Flow)
Weekly sales on Ethereum: 729 vs. 1.48k on Flow (+103% on Flow)
Weekly sales volume on Ethereum: $15.5m vs. $162k on Flow (-99% on Flow)
Doodles 2 is the 3rd highest-selling project on Flow by sales volume
Key Insights
Doodles 2 on Flow has had more sales and unique buyers compared to their Ethereum collection. Sales volume is higher on Ethereum due to the greater price of original Doodles compared to wearables.
Moving to number 3 on Flow by sales in their first two weeks is impressive. Especially considering the initially limited access of Doodles 2 to just those with a Dooplicator and a Doodle.
