# Pull up for Franky Friday 🐸

*Host: Franky the Frog (@frankythefrog), with co-host Fordenad (@fordenad) · Fri, 21 Aug 2026 · 1:08:32 · ~7 active speakers*

## TL;DR
- The claw machine got a major overhaul: claw coins moved **off-chain**, VRF removed, pulls now resolve in seconds instead of minutes, and there's **no gas cost** to pull. Roughly **1,000 pulls in six hours** after launch. [12:10] [28:00]
- **Dextroid pulled a 1/1** (an alien/asteroid raccoon nibble) — the emotional centerpiece of the whole Space, which he's calling his "NFT birthday." Edward landed the samurai 1/1, and Dare You Two hit Goliath status (10 Frankies) plus an anatomy gnome 1/1. [16:37] [18:42]
- **Cleeroy's Cockfights** launches after Tuesday's round table: 16 entries, two three-week seasons through September, prizes in flies, claw coins, and a nibble. [43:00]
- A **blind box** is coming with both physical and digital components — teased as a big brand milestone, details held back for the Discord round tables. [31:05]
- **NFT NYC + Boston** run of events: Boston dinner on the 29th, NYC dinner on the 31st (three plates left), brunch on the 3rd, plus Maha speaking at World Trade Center (1st) and NFT NYC (2nd). [52:00]
- Housekeeping: **poker tonight, 8pm EST** in the Discord VC; round tables every **Tuesday 5pm EST**. [1:07:30]

## Highlights

**The claw goes off-chain and free** [12:10] Maha (@Maaaaahhhaaaaa)\* walked through Julian's rework: claw coins are now off-chain, VRF is gone, pulls land in seconds, and users no longer pay gas. Ford (@fordenad)\* later reminded everyone the coin NFTs in their wallets are now just cosmetic "for memories," and that balances live inside the claw machine, not the wallet. [28:00]

**Dex's 1/1 moment** [13:44] Maha recounted the scene: everyone assumed Dex had just cornered another fire ghost (a market he's been aggressively chasing), so the room barely reacted — until it turned out to be a 1/1. Maha: "I don't know if I've ever heard Dex swear in my life." The pull happened, per the running joke, right after Ford tried to go to sleep. [14:00]

**Dex tells it himself** [17:21] Voice half-gone, Dextroid (@dextroid1)\* described 18 hours of pure kid-at-heart joy after three-plus years "on the other side of the glass." He said his family thought something was wrong — "like I just cured cancer or something." It's now his forever PFP. [21:38]

**Raccoon or fire ghost?** [27:11] Joe put Dex on the spot; Dex needed a "pros and cons chart." He circled back later with the verdict: raccoon first, fire ghost a close second. [42:14]

**Cleeroy's Cockfights structure** [43:00] Cleeroy (@clarkredus)\* laid out the tournament: 16 entries per week, round wins paying 100 flies each, weekly champs earning claw coins and a shot at a nibble, all built by the community team (YBJ hard-coded it in Python, Jawa handling fight videos). He gave 100 flies to a listener on the spot. [45:18]

**Blind box tease** [31:05] Maha framed the upcoming box as a validation milestone for the brand — part physical, part digital, limited, tied to the incoming website and logo evolution. He deliberately stopped short of spilling it and told Ford to change the subject. [33:03]

**The events run** [52:00] Maha detailed the Boston/NYC schedule and got candid about the team never having been in one room — floating a long-term goal of a physical HQ within three to five years, and gently exposing Ford's insistence on "slaving away" back home instead of taking credit. [56:14]

**Jazzy on the pond** [57:38] RealJazzyJ92515 (@RealJazzyJ92515)\* joined on her lunch break (mid Kung Pao chicken) for her first Franky Friday in a while, pulled a pink gecko she'd been seeking, praised the update's speed, and delivered a heartfelt pitch that the community welcomes people with or without an asset — coining "Thankful Thursdays" on the way out.

## Who said what

- **Ford (@fordenad)\*** — Host on the mic, MC energy, relentless like-and-repost campaigner; drove the claw explainer and stayed home to "do the thing" during events season.
- **Joe / Franky the Frog (@frankythefrog)\*** — Co-host running the Franky account; kept the celebrations moving, ran the "raccoon or fire ghost" bit, and closed with the Frankie's Adventures teaser.
- **Maha (@Maaaaahhhaaaaa)\*** — The business/lore voice; narrated the pulls, teased the blind box and website evolution, and mapped out the NFT NYC/Boston events.
- **Dextroid (@dextroid1)\*** — The night's hero; recounted his first 1/1 after 3+ years, a fire-ghost obsessive turned raccoon convert.
- **YBJ (@YourBoiJesus23)\*** — Congratulated Dex, and (per Cleeroy) hard-coded the cockfight tournament in Python.
- **Cleeroy (@clarkredus)\*** — Ran the Cleeroy's Cockfights rollout and gave away flies live.
- **Jazzy (@RealJazzyJ92515)\*** — Community voice; pulled a sought-after pink gecko and made the case for the pond as a no-asset-required welcome.

## Worth a full listen

- **[13:44]–[22:28]** — The full arc of Dex's 1/1, from the room's flat "oh, another fire ghost" reaction to the realization it was a grail, then Dex telling it in his own voice. The summary can't carry the genuine emotion in the room.
- **[43:00]–[47:14]** — Cleeroy's complete cockfight breakdown, including the season structure, rewards, and the live flies giveaway — useful if you want to actually enter.
- **[1:03:12]–[1:06:18]** — Jazzy's closing reflection on onboarding and community belonging, plus the "Thankful Thursdays" idea, delivered better in full than paraphrased.
