Clon is the founder and artist behind the NFT sensation Cool Cats. Striking a delicate balance between cool and cute, the massive success of this project is a testament to the importance of a good founding team and strong values.
We discuss how Clon fell into the NFT space and found a perfect product-market fit with his work and style. We cover the power of community, dive into tokenomics, and explore how breaking into NFTs actually works.
Although the market is (over)saturated with PFP projects, there are reasons why the cream rises to the top. Tune in and find out.
