About the Nonconformist Ducks

The Nonconformist Ducks is an NFT (non-fungible token) project that offers a wide range of Duck PFPs with different attributes and abilities. These ducks can be collected and used to participate in various activities within the ecosystem, such as exploring the lore, earning rewards, and participating in social events. The project aims to provide a unique and engaging experience for its community, while also ensuring its long-term sustainability through creative solutions that reduce the overall supply of ducks.

Current Events: The Eternal War

The highly anticipated “Eternal War” is fast approaching and the ducks are prepared for a fierce showdown. As the battle lines are drawn, holders have been busy building their armies, choosing sides between the Hell Ducks or OG Ducks, or even recruiting for both. Over recent months, holders have been gathering their forces strategically for this momentous event. As the moment of truth approaches, tensions are high and the ducks are ready to fight for victory. Are you prepared to join the fray and lead your army to victory?

There is still time to prepare your army for battle!

To learn more about “The Eternal War” and what ducks you will need to fight on the OG or Hell Side, see TNT #11 - How to Play Eternal War

Join the Pond Without Playing

Are you looking to join the pond without joining the fight in "The Eternal War"?

No problem!

The Nonconformist Ducks community has plenty of ways for you to get involved without having to play the game. There are plenty of other activities that don't involve the epic showdown of "The Eternal War". Simply grab a duck that you like from the OG, Hell, 2nd Gen, Signature Collection, or Upside Ducks and join an amazing and supportive community.

There's a place for every duck in the pond. As you decide which duck you want, here are some of the activities to keep in mind that can require specific traits to join:

Do you love the iconic Jason Voorhees hockey mask from the "Friday the 13th" horror film? If you're a fan, make sure to snag a duck from the OG or Hell collection with a Jason Mask. Every Friday the 13th, you'll have the chance to compete for the highly coveted Golden Jason Duck Mask.

  • Open to OG or Hell Ducks with the Jason Mask Trait

Loyds Tavern is a subgroup of the Nonconformist Ducks with various channels for discussing and sharing information about NFT projects, minting strategies, and other opportunities for participating in the web3 community. Members can post about their successes and connect with other team members working on their own projects in the hopes of bridging gaps and fostering new relationships within the community.

  • Open to OG or Hell Ducks with the Loyd or Homer Trait

The Duck Wrestling Federation is a subgroup within the Nonconformist Ducks community that hosts wrestling matches on a weekly basis.

  • Open to OG or Hell Ducks with wrestling masks

Poker games are held twice a week for all ducks that own a horseduck or upper class duck. Participate in the games and have the chance to win amazing prizes!

From time to time, the duck airports open up and offer unique opportunities for holders to snag a bag with a specific destination. Right now the Hellish Duck Airport is open.

Pond Academy is designed to be the long-term, sustainable source of external revenue for the Nonconformist Ducks.

You do not need a Duck to join Pond Academy!

Pond Academy is a platform that helps content creators in Web3 generate alternative income by recommending their favorite projects on Twitter. Studies show that people are more likely to be influenced by those in their close circles and that smaller audiences often have higher engagement. Pond Academy aims to decentralize influence by training people to create impactful content and monetize their recommendations of Web3 projects through the platform.

To join the academy, mint a pass and gain access to learn from professionals while earning non-traditional income for sharing your thoughts on Twitter.

Pond academy is still minting. 

There will be a total of 8,709 passes.
