Potentially the most underrated, unknown NFT project in the metaverse 🐀

Ok, I’m slightly bias on this one. It was the first NFT I ever minted and it has yet to mint out (~4300 remain for 0.06 Eth each). BUT, the project teams background and previous roadmap execution should not go unnoticed, and some major drops are coming between now and the end of November.

I’m talking about the GOOD GUYS. The sequel to MILLION DOLLAR RAT ‘Art Heist’.

Million Dollar Rat ‘Art Heist’

Firstly, a bit of background credibility on this project which dropped in May 2021.

In early 2021, deep in the sewers of NY city, the city’s mafioso boss — Mr Ratleone — was burgled and his entire art collection was stolen. With rumours spreading of these lost treasures — the greedy rats scoured to get their paws on what they can — leaving no trash pile unturned.

Referred to as the ‘Art Heist’, it rewarded 3310 token holders with some of the best art giveaways in the NFT world. Including BAYC, Crypto Punks, Cool Cats, Sup Ducks, BAKC, Fvck Crystals and Meebits – and not just one or two of them, but multiples of them – yes, no joke!!

12 draws between mid May and September 2021 saw token holders win multiple high value NFTs. Their is a full history of all of the giveaways over on Discord and on the website under ‘prizes’.

The Sequel… Good Guys

My first ever NFT — Good Guys #2390 “Pot Head”

So then comes the Good Guys. 10,000 GOOD GUYS living in Los Ratos — described as a once vibrant art community, now enduring a never-ending hangover. Things took a turn for the worse when the BODEGA “Art & Comics” closed years ago, but luckily for the GOOD GUYS someone is reopening it.

Good Guys still has some of the most impressive generative art I still am yet to experience in the NFT world. This is subjective of course, but if you like comic books, bold story lines and quality art, then this project oozes all of that — you’ll be immediately hooked (!cheese).

I think it’s fair to say, that with the teams previous success and deliverance with Million Dollar Rat, that we should all be excited for what they plan for Good Guys…

The Good Guys Roadmap

Updated 28/10/2021 14:30 UTC — I will update this as I learn more.

Good (or Bad Ass) Girlz…

The Good Guys are getting mates and the Girlz will be free to mint for Good Guys and the broader NFT-community.

The team insist that the NFT space is inclusive and that the community continues to grow.

South African born Annika Brandow is behind the artwork and it is f****** awesome!

Launch: 30th November

$CHESOS UTILITY

$CHESOS — The Good Guys Utility Token

I’ve done a fair bit of writing about the DeFi aspects of NFTs recently, and their popularity has exploded in the last couple of weeks.

When I minted Good Guys, I didn’t even clock the hint of $CHESOS even though it was staring me right in the face!

Each Good Guy will continuously generate $CHESOS (tokens) for its holder, and this will be used as the utility for the upcoming BODEGA drops.

The project team have hinted at the ability to spend it all at once to get what you want, or save them for something more… 👀

Due: November

Go Shopping

I’ll be honest, not a lot has been given away on this one.

Due: November

Mating…

Ok, every NFT is at it! Breeding and cross breeding. But who wouldn’t love there own little baby rat!

Date and mate your rats.

Knowing these guys, they’ll have some surprises up their sleeves when this happens.

Due: TBA

Art Ratos

The world-famous ART RATOS show…

If the ‘Art Heist’ was anything to go by, then we’re in for some major surprises on this one.

Due: TBA

…And that isn’t it! The team have much more up their sleeve and planned for the future.

Don’t miss out

I minted Good Guys because of my inherent love of comics and the artwork. At the time, I understood little about NFT’s and nothing about DeFi mechanics. In a very short space of time, as I help draft roadmaps and write about these mechanics on a daily basis, the Good Guys really do have incredible potential, and I genuinely feel more people should know about them. Mainly because I love them. LawpΞz.
