@Stammy @jacksondame @lootproject Loot is NFT improv.
It is an invitation to respond with, "Yes, and..."
This is what I have been SUPER EXCITED about...
It's @dhof and his creations: @blitmap @sugarthegame @supdrive, and most importantly @lootproject ❤️
Loot is something different. It's something that has never been done before ever.
It's a paradigm shift in NFT space.

Really think we’re in a different era now. There was Before Loot and now there’s After Loot. Punk moment all over again.
Loot hits the same perfect combination of values as $YFI, $YAM, $MEME and CryptoPunks:
- fair launch
- novel concept
- headless
- simple
All of those attributes elegantly invite crypto-native composability.
John Palmer 🥳 @john_c_palmer
Each Loot holder received an airdrop this morning which is now worth $17,000.
Just a text file though. Prob nothing.
Been thinking a lot about this post¹ by @john_c_palmer recently.
Maybe the way to think about NFTs is not as investments or status objects but as RPG inventory-like items that allow users to unlock features /
superpowers across different apps.

Here is @lootproject's ecosystem for beginners.
The latest proof of compatibility of the NFTmetaverse, created by @dhof.
Absolutely amazed at how fast the ecosystem has grown in the last few days.
Note: This is only half of what happened. More charts to follow.
my loot character's name is Finco Lindil, and he's a horny elf.
here is a song about one of his adventures.
@lootproject @dhof I missed out on Loot the other day and it's a bit out of hand on secondary by this point, but I find myself oddly inspired by the almost non-designed design language of it all and think it would make great merch, like so. I would wear this w/o even owning NFT
@MacaesBruno I think the @lootproject philosophy has it right: pretty much anything that anyone creates "exists", what matters is to what extent other people build upon it.
The great unlock for NFTs is opening up your IP to your community permissionlessly and without restrictions—IP is a new type of platform.
Today's NFT news made me think about @cuysheffield's visionary post on community-owned IP.
“Fantasy Hollywood” — Crypto and Community-Owned Characters future.a16z.com/fantasy-hollyw…
Feels like two paths are emerging in NFT space.
(1) Build a universe but hold onto IP. Ex: @larvalabs deal with UTA (hollywoodreporter.com/business/digit…)
(2) Form a community to build a universe. Give all the IP away. See what happens. Ex: @lootproject
Personally like approach #2 better!
loot project is the same as turning over a box of miscellaneous junk and letting the neighborhood kids go apeshit
