# Weekly Doom: Enter The Void

*Host: Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) · Tue, 01 Sep 2026 · 1:20:45 · 4 speakers*

## TL;DR
- The **Bloodsayers void event** is live: burn a Bloodberry Sauce 2.0 + a Doomsayer to secure the 666-piece Ethereum collection early. The void closes next Tuesday (the 8th), mint is mid-October, reveal around Halloween, with the back half going to public mint. [2:13]
- GoYAbEaN recapped his mining-pool project's leap onto Robinhood — a near-instant sellout that ran from ~18 to a high of ~377 — with royalties and staking rewards routed back to the community. [10:27]
- Long stretch on **Robinhood vs. base**: the room's read is that base had the tech and the moment and let Robinhood eat its lunch. [38:56]
- GoYAbEaN previewed a new base RWA platform bundling his three nouns collections into one "bank" — deposit, borrow, and activate for stonk tokens. [1:01:36]
- Doomsayers talked up ACK's **Argonauts** as an art/IP-forward win for the space, and the evolving-artwork mechanic that comes with it. [26:26]
- Project shout-outs: Banger Bots (mint tomorrow), a Mechsicko pixel drop Friday, and Builder Bots by Chaz Gold. [1:07:27]

## Highlights

**The void mechanic, explained** [3:23] Doomsayers walked through the sacrifice: buy a Bloodberry Sauce, send it in, then pick which Doomsayers to feed the void. Burns route through a buffer wallet first so mistakes can be fixed before anything's permanent — old-school 2020/2021 burn-to-mint energy that HalfbloodNerd said he genuinely missed.

**Monthly trade night pitch** [6:12] Doomsayers described the cross-community trade night (the 20th this month) as maybe his favorite thing they run — no money, no fees, just collectors hanging out swapping NFTs. He also flagged that Bloodsayers marketing will go quiet for a month on purpose, so as not to "bang the drum loud on the TL" before it matters.

**The X account-hack scare** [9:07] Doomsayers noticed a wave of failed password attempts and warned everyone to lock down 2FA. HalfbloodNerd's diagnosis: "only famous people got detected" — so, congratulations. Enable it anyway.

**GoYAbEaN's Robinhood run** [10:27] The mining project sold out fast once he opened it to Robinhood, and he built in a community kicker: vault your NFT and 100% of the enforced royalties flow back, plus a miner token paired with a MicroStrategy stonk token feeding trading fees to stakers. Latest tally: ~40 microstrats and 5.22 ETH in the rewards pool "just for holding." [12:49]

**A gaming wave, incoming** [17:29] Doomsayers made the case that ERC-6551 is breathing life back into NFT gaming — idle, gamified, hold-and-earn loops. His bet: short attention spans mean the quick "DGEN" gambly games with a dig-deeper-for-more-risk mechanic will outlast the ambitious grind titles, and teams that lean on AI to ship fast and throw games away will win.

**ACK's Argonauts and evolving art** [26:26] Doomsayers, admittedly smitten, bought in near the floor and grabbed a floral trait. He and HalfbloodNerd chewed on the risk of undisclosed metadata changes — HalfbloodNerd worried premium buyers of rare traits could get burned — while Doomsayers argued the not-telling-you is the art: "you buy the ticket, take the ride." He owned the humility of it too — loving a piece that's only the "preview," not the fully rendered form. [37:50]

**Robinhood ate base's lunch** [38:56] GoYAbEaN's blunt take: base had the tech, the builders, and the timing, then answered Robinhood's momentum by quietly flying people to New York to launch four stonk tokens. His deeper gripe — base only wants to associate with unicorns and forgot the mutual-support roots that made its early NFT scene work. Still, both agreed base's volume and TVL lead is real, just concentrated in stablecoins and the x402 agent market.

**Where do you build, and why** [47:29] Chumwizards grounded the chain debate in practical terms: base is far cheaper than mainnet for his weekly magazine, and equivalent enough that people can still pay in ETH — but every extra chain and token is a layer of friction for newcomers. The real question, he said, is where your audience already lives. [48:48]

**GoYAbEaN's base RWA "bank"** [1:01:36] His next build merges Base Nouns, Dark Nouns, and Little Base Nouns into one platform where you deposit to earn, borrow against your nouns, and activate for stonk tokens — everything gated by a buy-and-burn token that feeds stakers. His honest framing: the Ponzi can't last forever once volume stops, so he's designing multiple ways (LP emissions on Aerodrome, forfeited collateral) to keep feeding the pool. [1:03:44]

**Unvault and the omnichain future** [54:42] Doomsayers explained Unvault's model — one contract, up to eight whitelisted chains, one NFT that can hop to wherever liquidity is hot — and where he's cautious: he wants to see how a spread-out collection actually renders on OpenSea before committing. GoYAbEaN noted he recently bridged a token across chains with a single AI prompt.

- "You either buy the ticket, take the ride, or you don't." — Doomsayers, on ACK's undisclosed art changes [30:18]

- "They only want to associate with unicorns... they need to get back to the roots." — GoYAbEaN, on base [44:31]
- "The Ponzi can't last forever... once the volume stops, the party's over." — GoYAbEaN [1:03:44]

## Who said what
- **Doomsayers** (host, @DoomsayersNFT) — ran the show; walked through the void event and roadmap, made the bull case for a coming gaming wave and for ACK's Argonauts, and stayed measured-curious on Unvault.
- **GoYAbEaN** (@goyabean_eth) — the builder in the room; recapped his mining pool's Robinhood breakout, argued base fumbled its lead, and previewed a base nouns RWA "bank." Ducked out mid-Space to pay a garbage truck and tend his mining agents.
- **HalfbloodNerd** (@halfbloodn3rd) — the questioner; nostalgic for burn mechanics, probed the risks of evolving-metadata art, pressed on why projects stay loyal to base, and teased a stirring OG project ("Operation Sin").
- **Chumwizards** (@Chumwizards) — grounded the chain debate in real economics from running his weekly Twink/tweak magazine, and vouched hard for Chaz Gold's Builder Bots.

## Worth a full listen
- **[38:56]–[53:43]** — The Robinhood-vs-base conversation is the heart of the Space: three builders working through what base got right, what it fumbled, and whether it can come back, without any of it turning sour.
- **[54:42]–[1:07:03]** — A genuinely useful two-part walkthrough of omnichain mechanics (Unvault) and GoYAbEaN's RWA bank design, including candid talk about why token-gated reward loops eventually run out of gas.
- **[26:26]–[37:50]** — The Argonauts stretch, where the art-appreciation enthusiasm and the "but did buyers consent to the art changing?" tension play out honestly, right down to Doomsayers laughing at himself for loving the low-res preview.
