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.

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.
