Weekly Doom with Tweaks 💀

Host: Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) with cohosts Sirski & Crypfu · Tue, 11 Aug 2026 · 1:21:40 · ~9 speakers + the intro track

TL;DR

• The Doomsayers crew returned after skipping a week and hosted the Twisted Tweaks team (Chumwizards & co.) for a joint hang.
• Doom news: airdrops all week (a "Doom World" song cover to 1% holders, records for 6+ Doom holders, "life support" to everyone on Base Fri/Sat), trade night Aug 20 co-hosted by Decapination, a Lex Doom Tezos drop at month's end, the Doomsayers 1-year anniversary Aug 26, and the second-and-final Void event Sept 1 (send a Doomsayer + a 2.0 to guarantee a Bloodsayer free mint in October).
• Tweak news: buy-one-get-one on Twisted Tweaks, a gift-a-tweak onboarding path, the weekly tweak-design magazine (Tuesdays), and an artist-of-the-month drop (Chombo) on the 25th.
• Long conversation about the new "Robin Hood"/utility meta — Stonkbrokers, Mancers, Simple Farmer, and Unvault's omnichain contract + Divot rewards — and whether art/IP projects should adapt or hold their course.
• A rug recap: the Sprite Hood 44k mint tied to Cole, an ex-Pudgy Penguins founder let go over embezzlement.
• Repeated call to grow beyond the crypto silo — IRL pop-ups, stickers/merch, Web2 presence (Giphy) — as the real onboarding lever.

Highlights

[2:29] Back on schedule. Doomsayers (Jay) opened "Weekly Doom" after a missed week, with Speaker 8 admitting the gap left her in "a frenzy" — she needs the show "to anchor me into reality." Sirski welcomed the Twisted Tweaks crew for a long-awaited joint sesh.

[4:32] Doom news. Jay ran the week: airdrops for 1% holders (the "Doom World" cover just heard, a 15-piece drop), records for holders of six or more Dooms, and "life support" airdropped to everyone on Base by the weekend. Trade night lands Aug 20, co-hosted by Decapination/Avoid. Sirski added the Aug 26 one-year anniversary and the Sept 1 Void event.

[10:16] Tweak news. Chumwizards explained the Twisted Tweaks mechanics: buy one off the floor and get a fresh, never-held airdrop; or gift a tweak to onboard a friend without losing your own. He also flagged the weekly design magazine (Tuesdays, aimed at artist discovery) and the artist-of-the-month drop featuring Chombo on the 25th.

[16:10] The Sprite Hood rug. Crypfu brought up the 44k Sprite Hood mint that reportedly rugged; Sirski tied it to Cole, an early Pudgy Penguins founder booted for what the room summarized as embezzlement. The group lamented that a known bad actor could still sell out instantly — a springboard into a longer riff on DYOR dying and people blindly copy-trading influencers.

[28:13] Keys on "statues." Keys argued NFTs can become "statues" that coast on legacy, and praised Doomsayers for evolving instead — Bloodsayers, holder drops, music. His thesis: in a shrinking-attention market you win by holding your DNA while still refining, not copying, since "when you copy somebody else their work is your ceiling." [32:26]

[32:26 / 35:03] The "fresh meat" bit. Keys framed the Robin Hood wave as finally bringing new people into the space — "fresh meat." Speaker 8 ran with it into an exit-liquidity deadpan ("we've been waiting for some fresh meat… you're going down"), and Keys painted the image of "a hungry pack of savages at the bottom of the cave" with food dangled on a rope [36:30]. Chum steered it back to a real point: the room needs to "break out of the silo" and give outsiders products they can actually enjoy [36:38].

[41:30 → 57:56] Unvault & Divot. Sirski, Thanos, and Keys dug into Unvault — a fresh omnichain contract that lets a collection pick which chains it lives on (bridge once, toggle Robin Hood/Ethereum), plus the idea of member projects forming an ecosystem under Anvil. They walked through Divot, which lets founders route royalties to reward on-chain behavior (Kaito-style) rather than "giving away shit to give away shit." Keys voiced cautious optimism, wary of the pace of three back-to-back launches; Thanos vouched for the devs (Simple Farmer, Hirsch).

[1:09:08 → 1:16:00] Getting physical. On what "utility" should actually mean now, the room converged on scalable, real-world products separate from the finite main collection — Corky's trading cards and Shredding Sassys' sticker packs + rewards token as models, plus Web2 presence (Giphy, à la Pudgy Penguins) and merch. Morgan's ask: "I would kill for a Doomsayer skateboard."

[1:17:34] Bloodsayers wrap. Sirski closed with logistics: 2.0s still mintable on Manifold ahead of the Sept 1 Void event; the Doomsayer you send in doesn't affect the Bloodsayer you get, so "send your zero, not your hero." [1:18:52] The hosts floated making the Tweaks collab a monthly thing.

Who said what

• Sirski (@sirsapient)^*: Main driver of the session; ran topics, laid out Void-event and Bloodsayers logistics, and framed the meta question as balancing "stay true to your DNA" against staying liquid enough to pivot.
• Doomsayers / "Jay" (@DoomsayersNFT)^*: Opened the space and delivered Doom news; blunt on the embezzler mint.
• Crypfu (@thecrypfu)^*: Back after a break; surfaced the Sprite Hood rug and championed physical/Web2 expansion and the Shredding Sassys model.
• Chumwizards (@Chumwizards)^*: Guest from Twisted Tweaks; explained tweak mechanics and pushed hardest on IRL events, galleries, and breaking the crypto silo.
• Keys (@Cryptokeysm)^*: Reflective guest voice; "statues" thesis, cautious optimism on Unvault, and the "fresh meat" framing.
• Thanos: DeFi-fluent regular; explained Unvault/Anvil and Divot and vouched for the Simple Farmer/Hirsch devs.
• Robbie / "Gramps": Tweaks member; asked the sharp practical question of whether being omnichain solves a real need, plus a dad joke about a wallet full of bones.
• Morgan: Community regular; suggested Giphy presence and lobbied for Doomsayer skateboards.
• Speaker 8: Doom regular and comic relief; the "fresh meat / exit liquidity" runner and Toronto-meetup enthusiast.

Worth a full listen

• [32:12] → [37:00] — The "fresh meat" / exit-liquidity exchange between Keys and Speaker 8 is the room at its funniest, and Chum's pivot back to the silo point keeps it from being pure banter.
• [41:30] → [58:00] — The Unvault + Divot deep dive is the most substantive stretch; the summary flattens the back-and-forth on omnichain trade-offs and Robbie's genuinely good "is there really a need?" question.
• [1:09:08] → [1:16:00] — The utility-as-physical-product discussion (Corky's, Shredding Sassys, Giphy, merch) is where the group actually sketches a path forward for art-first projects.
