Launched in 2021, Doodles is a non-fungible token collection from the digital artist Burnt Toast featuring a limited edition of 10,000 cartoons hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network. The NFT collection Doodle features a combination of traits, ranging from hairstyles and clothing to accessories and more. Since its inception, Doodles has gained popularity for its distinctive style, presentation, and leadership.

In March 2023, the Ethereum NFT project announced a shift towards becoming a leading media franchise. At the time, the announcement met with some criticism and backlash from community members on Twitter. In response to the community backlash, Doodles did not fully evolve into a media franchise. Instead, the NFT team announced the launch of its official NFT coin “$DOOD” for the Doodles NFT ecosystem.

The NFT team announced the launch of its token while in Paris, France, for the annual NFT event, NFT Paris. Established three years ago, NFT Paris is a yearly non-fungible token event that brings together over 20,000 visitors and over 400 speakers from different regions worldwide to rekindle the NFT fire. The NFT Paris event featured high-profile speakers from top NFT brands, including Luca Netz, the CEO of Pudgy Penguins, and Sebastien Borget, the CEO of The Sandbox.
