Okay, so Doodles, the folks behind those colorful cartoon pictures everyone talks about, just dropped something new. It’s their very own token. They call it DOOD. And guess what? It landed on Solana.
- The Doodles project has launched its own token, DOOD, on the Solana network, marking a significant expansion of its ecosystem. This token will be integrated into various aspects of the Doodles world.
- DreamNet, a decentralized AI-powered storytelling platform, is being launched alongside the token, allowing users to create and monetize content. Users can earn DOOD tokens for their creations.
- The DOOD token will be used in a new game called “Lord of the Files,” which is an office-based survival game on X. The prize for the game is 500,000 DOOD tokens.
Putting a token out there is a big step. It means they want this DOOD thing to be part of everything they do. Like a key that unlocks different doors in the Doodles world. You can claim some of this DOOD right now if you’re eligible. The place to do that is on the Doodles website itself. It’s a bit like getting a little piece of the action, isn’t it?
The DOOD token claim is now live on the Doodles website.

Several places where people trade crypto are getting on board with DOOD too. We’re talking about names like Bybit, Binance Alpha, Gate, KuCoin, and MEXC. The word is, more exchanges will join the list soon. It makes sense; you need places for people to actually get their hands on the token, right?
They didn’t just launch a token, though. They also rolled out something called DreamNet. Think of it like a decentralized (meaning not controlled by one single company) place for AI-powered storytelling. Users can build characters and whole story worlds inside DreamNet. And here’s the clever part: if someone else uses your creation in their game or animation on this network, you earn fees. Fees paid in DOOD, naturally.
Alongside DreamNet, they launched a game. It’s called “Lord of the Files.” Yes, like office files. It’s an office-based survival game. Players compete against each other. The prize? A pot of 500,000 DOOD tokens. It lives entirely on X (that’s the platform formerly known as Twitter). An office survival game on social media? It certainly sounds… unique. You have to wonder what kind of office politics are involved.
Scott Martin, the CEO over at Doodles, had a few things to say about all this. He mentioned that DOOD will be woven into everything they do. That includes DreamNet, other products, games, and how people participate. He seemed pretty excited about Lord of the Files being one of the first experiences powered by the token, especially since it’s right there on X.
The idea for this DOOD token first popped up back in February. There’s a grand total of 10 billion DOOD tokens out there. That’s a lot of tokens. How are they divvied up? Well, the Doodles community gets a nice big piece, 30% of the pie. An ecosystem fund gets 25%. The team behind Doodles keeps 17%. Then there’s a portion, 13%, set aside for something called “New Blood.” Sounds a bit dramatic, doesn’t it? Like a recruitment drive for vampires or something. The rest is for liquidity (making sure people can easily trade the token) and a small bit for the company itself.
Even though DOOD is starting its life on Solana, Doodles has plans for it to live on another network too. They intend to launch it on Base. Base is a network built by Coinbase, designed to make things faster and cheaper for crypto transactions. It’s like having a token that can travel between different neighborhoods in the crypto city.
Martin also talked about the bigger picture. He said they’ve always wanted to build a place where people can escape and connect at the same time. Launching DOOD on Solana is a big step towards making that real, he feels. It’s about giving more people a real stake, a piece of ownership, in the worlds Doodles is building. It’s about using technology to bring art, ownership, and imagination closer together. A noble goal, if you think about it.
Just a quick note on Doodles itself, the NFT part of the story. It’s a collection of 10,000 cartoon images. They first showed up in October 2021. If you wanted to buy one today, the lowest price you’d likely find is around 3.37 ETH. That’s about $8,000, depending on the day’s price. The project has seen about $4 million in trading volume since May 9. People are still buying and selling these pictures, it seems.
So there you have it. Doodles has a token now. It’s on Solana. It’s tied into new games and AI storytelling. And it has plans to spread out to other networks later. It’s another piece added to the ever-growing puzzle of how these digital art projects want to build bigger worlds around themselves.
