TNT #72 - Exclusive Sneak Peek + 3 French Ducks Return + Space Riders

Nonco Times has the first peek of a trait going out with passport mints!

July 29, 2023

Happy Saturday

On Monday, I released information about the future of The Nonconformist Times. Moving forward, I would love your input on what you would like from this newsletter. Would you prefer to see only information about the Nonconformist Ducks, or would you be open to The Nonco Times expanding its coverage to include more projects?

If you could take the poll right after this, I'd appreciate it. It will help me plan for the future of this newsletter because my goal has always been to expand and cover more communities. The Web3 space can only thrive if we work together, and that is my ultimate objective.

Happy Reading,

Just one more poll…

Passport Sneak Peek -Traits

You may have caught a glimpse of these sneak peeks in the Pond or on Twi…. X!

A big apology to Zubic who we forgot to include in last week’s Nonco Times so today we’re giving him a big shoutout, especially for being the founder of an amazing project that is also building great things! (See Below to learn more about SpaceRiders!)

New Backgrounds

There was a small window to mint passports last week, which granted you an extra background trait. They were released on Wednesday (7/26), and they are awesome! Here’s what some of your fellow duck mates have done with them:

3 French Ducks Return

On July 22nd, 10 ducks got the chance to travel to France first, and holders scrambled to secure their spots on that inaugural flight.

All the ducks' traits underwent a change. As for the next flight, we're unsure of its departure date, but on July 28th, 3 ducks returned, boasting a Frenchy fresh new look!
