The following is a direct update taken from DuckMaster’s Update in Announcements in Discord. I'm copying it right here so you get the full scoop exactly as he put it:

NONCODUCKS UPDATES

Good morning everyone,

I'd like to take a few minutes this morning to provide you with updates on what's happening behind the scenes in the project and how we're building a future for each and every incredible member of this community:

The Vineyard:

We have completed the trademark registration process for PLUMAJE, obtained export approval to Florida, USA, and the wine is now bottled, awaiting label printing and subsequent laminating treatments. We estimate it will be ready by the beginning of next month, possibly arriving in January.

The Fields:

This Friday marks a crucial day for NoncoDucks as we launch the pre-sale of the first WenGoods box containing the highly anticipated Nonco Gummies after 9 months of hard work. The value of the product box + NFT will be 0.15 ETH, with shipping estimated 60 days after the pre-sale ends. After the pre-sale, all OG Ducks can claim $GOODS daily, and those with the WenGoods NFT can accumulate and claim monthly.

It's essential to understand that, regardless of individual interests in WenGoods boxes or the NFT, supporting this initiative is crucial for the project as it will:

  • Provide an alternative income stream for NoncoDucks' sustainability and growth.

  • Create demand for OG ducks from those who want a community partner that generates tokens.

  • Progressive sweeps to fill the WenGoods marketplace.

  • Establish IP agreements for those participating in HOLLYWOOD.

Hollywood:

We want to congratulate @Jtorr1 for closing the first exclusive IP deal for decoupled ducks.

25% of the revenue generated by NoncoDucks through WenGoods will be distributed as follows:

  • 50% to selected IP licensors

  • 50% to be distributed among those who have generated IPs available for selection by the team for any existing or upcoming opportunities.

The Village:

The wallet with the corresponding NFTVenues assets has been created, and the assets are being transferred to it.

Remember, that we all build NoncoDucks together. We greatly appreciate and value the commitment of our community, and I'm confident that all this hard work will bring its rewards.

It's time to Quack louder than ever and spread the word about everything that's happening!

OG Winners Prize

Pond War happens every month when the OG and Hell Teams compete to help raise their team's floor price above the level of the previous month’s floor price. Everyone is welcome to join. To participate, choose the side you want to join and buy a duck from that collection. Then, let one of the mods know in Discord that you would like to join a team.

The OG Winners were the champions again for the month of October and received a new fanny pack trait to use in the decoupling machine.
