📹 Hoodlums Overview
Hoodlums were the first generative PFP ever launched on Flow.
We just integrated them into Flowverse NFT.
Here’s why you should care about this project.
What are Hoodlums?
Hoodlums is an NFT collection of 5000 uniquely generated characters.
The artwork is by artist somehoodlum.
Their launch date of Sep 28, 2021 makes them the first PFP on Flow.
They sold out for $123.45 per Hoodlum.
Does being first matter?
Being the first PFP on Flow may make Hoodlums historically valuable given demand for NFTs can have a historical aspect.
As R. Selkis said in Messari's 2022 report: "CryptoPunks are valuable simply because they represent the first PFPs to be minted on the Ethereum blockchain".
The Art
As a generative PFP, each of the 5000 Hoodlums is unique with characteristic traits.
The traits reflect trends seen on social media, at music festivals and in vintage stores around the world.
Some rare Hoodlums transcended into the embodiment of these trends.
Amongst the 5000 Hoodlums, there are 10 extremely rare, one-of-one Hoodlums.
Outside of these Lums, the rarest Hoodlums have Alien skin traits (only 33 in the whole collection).
The Artist
@somehoodlum is an artist & animator who combines youth culture and humor through pop art He has worked with brands incl. Amazon, Beats, Refinery 29, TBS, Comedy Central, MTV, Golden Voice, Super Deluxe, Snapchat, and many others.
He has also collaborated with Lil Uzi Vert, Migos, 21 Savage, Schoolboy Q, Rolling Loud Music Festival, BMG, and Atlantic Records.
Utility
Prior Hoodlums utility included a Lumstruments airdrop, VIP upgrades, meetups, parties, and weekly access to some of the entertainment industry's most in-demand events. They also have a residency in Las Vegas.
It is currently unknown to us if there will be future utility.

📊 Flow Blockchain Data of the Week
Creating NFTs can be costly.
Even on some of the most mainstream targeted blockchains i.e. the blockchains trying to attract billions of users.
Except on Flow.
Flow community member, Bz, calculated how much it would cost to mint 1 BILLION NFTs on each blockchain.
Here are the results
Polygon: $50,000,000
Solana: $11,000
Flow: $1,000
This means Flow is 50,000x cheaper to create scalable NFT experiences than Polygon…
