1/ Get a cup of coffee.
In this thread, I'll walk you through various reasons why I think @DroniesNFT is going to be a bluechip project in Solana.
This will help you judge the project quality better, and hence invest better.

3/ First Differentiator
@JpegLord mentioned that they had worked with Disney and were based in LA but wasn't correct and they clarified
1 of their designers did a freelance project for Star Wars (not the unfold team based in FL/CO)
Transparency is the main philosophy ❤

4/ Operators/Creators
In today's world where every project promises a lot and delivers nothing.
Operators are the stars, and especially when things are going less well in the NFT macro.

4.4/ Unfold Conclusion
Real folks, real team, good rep, and track record with their clients. They wouldn't do this and risk their reputation by doing anything stupid.

5/ Why Solana?
Solana Labs is a client of Unfold. At the time SOL NFT ecosystem was super small when they start creating the Dronies and @PeterDeltondo reach out to co-founder of SOL @rajgokal in Slack originally just to understand Solana NFT benefits vs ETH.

They are in constant conversations on Slack and do meet-ups twice a week.

6/ Transparency
Most importantly from the Dronies and Unfold team, their ethos is always to be honest, transparent and ensure things are done right.
The clarity in communication about questions/roadmap/price/whitelist etc. is IMPRESSIVE.

7/Livestreams
The team constantly does live streams on youtube answering questions, showing their faces and doing live art.
An absurd difference when many other projects we don't know if the art is subcontracted on fiverr.

9/Whitelist or EarlyBird
They want to build a community of people that are excited about Dronies and are engaged with the story.
They dont do that invite schemes or Mee6 tracking that encourage bots
They talk about this on one of previous livestreams here:

The passionate community comes together through people loving transparency, commitment, and honesty
Everyone recognizes the quality of this project and doesnt see it simply as a quick flip
The engagement is UNREAL and you can see diverse people collaborating

10.1/ Community Discord
The energy is super good, I am amazed to see no issues with members (a huge feat for the internet lol). Just good folks excited about the project, connecting with people, and friendships starting. Really cool seeing folks starting to connect with IRL.

10.2/ Gif SPAM
On certain commemorative moments, the community gets together and spams loudly those Dronies Gifs in Nest to celebrate.
Maybe the fault of the Rabbitar @GrowthInvestin2

12/ What’s the roadmap look like?
They talk about this on the streams a lot, from a talent and capabilities standpoint, there's little they can't successfully execute, will depend on the community desire for specific things

Card game, board game, metaverse space and experience, mobile game, desktop game, vr game, etc is TBD. They're intentionally leaving that flexible so that they can pivot based on whats best for the brand/project and what the community really wants.
@PeterDeltondo mention that they got some images to share soon from real generative tests.
It seems that the community and the team are talking a lot about a possible TV series and probably that will be included on the roadmap, everyone is a big fan of @arcaneshow

The story will be unfold after the mint but clues are always being given in the Dossier and the community putting the whole puzzle together in Evidence

14/Marketing
Instead of paying for adverising the team has been working in podcasts with influencers like @noahkagan that are coming out in following weeks that might boost the project, and few collaborations they have yet to announce
