There's a marketing proposal for Wonderland.

There was some discussion on refreshing the brand and logo. (falling Marge Simpson isn't popular)

I hired a few branding experts and designers to get the ball rolling.

Here's what we came up with so far:

🧵
/1 A more accurate Alice

I wanted to make some slight tweaks to the existing logo.

• The Woman falling looks more like Alice.
• The font's name is Alice
• We added a slogan.

Anyone that's invested in this has gone down the rabbit hole, a nod to the tale.
/2 The Cheshire Cat

The Cheshire Cat is on our homepage.

So we did a combination of the Cheshire eyes + Wonderland in the shape of the smile.

/3 Watercolor

We've gone with the dark color schemes so far.

When I think about Alice in Wonderland, I think colorful, happy thoughts.

We are transitioning from Time into wMemo (Wonderful Memories).

It makes me think about a Clock that's fading into memories...
Well, that's it.

Which one's your favorite?

Wonderland might not exist in the future with the proposal.

But I wanted to share this with you guys.

Why did I do this? Because I love Wonderland.

My mentor told me, "Don't wait for things to happen, just fucking do it"

The Co-Founder of Wonderland, @0xSifu, has been Doxxed.

He is Omar Dahani / Michael Patryn.

A Convicted Felon /w two DECADES of frauding people.

Here's what I found out: 🧵 Image
/1 Sifu's Role

While Dani is the “face” of Wonderland, @0xSifu runs the day-to-day.

He has control of the treasury and makes the decisions.

Wonderland is a DAO. The community voted to KEEP Sifu as the treasurer a few months ago. Image
/2 Sifu's Background

It’s common for founders to be anon due to privacy and safety reasons.

What are his qualifications to run a $1b treasury?

Here's his background in his own words

• Limited partner at a Large Fund
• Built several startups including 1 that went public Image

MAJOR FROG NATION ALPHA

There is a proposal to COMBINE Wonderland and Abracadabra into ONE protocol.

@danielesesta conducted an AMA on the proposal.

• Details of the merger
• The upside for both protocols
• The # and $
• What I think of it

Here's the alpha:

🧵 Image
/1 Wonderland Today

• They used rebasing as a tool to raise $835m in its treasury

• They have started investing in projects such as $BSGG and $CFA and soon Wormhole.

• Their treasury farming has been beating the market in the dip

Is Wonderland Successful?
/2 Wonderland started as an experiment.

The goal was to use OHM mechanics to raise funds, and to invest in DeFi projects.

By that metric, they have been successful.

Dani admits that the communication has been horrible.

They are working on improving it.

A Quick 🧵 on the wMemo Price Action Overnight

The price went from

• $43k -> $22k -> 35K now

Here's what happened:
Whales are taking advantage of free arbitrage

• Wonderland does buybacks if the price goes below the backing.

• Whales sell which causes a price drop. Ppl sell. Price drop. Liquidations happen. Price drops more.

Liquidation cascade
Why didn't the Buybacks happen?

• We have a "bot" with $5m. The bot ran out of $.

• Sifu / Dani are in Europe? They play these games when they sleep.

• Replenishing the bots take time because funds are locked under a multi-sig.

• $5m buybacks have happened.

I grew my Twitter from 0 to 22k in a week.

I kinda came out of nowhere.

@danielesesta even asked who's alt I am.

Some ppl have asked if I'm secretly a Wonderland employee

Here's my story: 🧵
Disclaimer:

I don't like talking about myself.

I mean that was the point of me going anon.

But if some of you are starting to take advice from me, I do owe it to you to share a little bit about my background.
I’ve always wanted to be rich.

I’m sure it started before I was born. My parents came to Canada with $0.

My dad was a dishwasher with 3 jobs.

You have a burden when you’re the child of immigrants.

I NEEDED to be successful to show them “Your sacrifice was worth it.”

The Frog Nation entered the @DefiLlama wars to get an NFT from Andre.

We bridged our wMemo to Popsicle on FTM but we didn't crack the top 20.

So what now?
• Background
• EXTRA airdrops from @0xSifu
• Bridging Back to AVAX (Step by Step)
• What to do with our wMemo now

🧵
/1 Background:

• Andre / Dani announce a new project called @solidswap

• They'd give it to the 20 projects on FTM by TVL

• This caused a liquidity war. Every project fought for more liquidity to make it to the top 20.

/2 Frog Nation was mobilized in the 11th hour.

We didn't find out until the night before the Snapshot was due.

But we mobilized and did our best.

Don't miss out on getting ve(3,3)Tokens!

@AndreCronjeTech + @danielesesta are teaming up for the most anticipated DeFi project ever.

• a simple explanation of ve(3,3)
• What the Protocols are saying
• Vampire attacks
• How to get $rock tokens soon

🧵
/1 What is Ve(3,3)?

It’s a new tokenomics model.

It combines the best of DeFi 2.0 and additional tweaks.

• Ve - Users who LOCK up their tokens (for years) get the most voting power.

• 3,3 - staking / rebasing mechanics
• LOCKED voting tokens will be NFT’s which allow liquidity.

The tokenomics will be implemented through a new AMM called @solidswap ($rock) built on FTM

You're not here for the tech :-).

I'm going to focus on how to obtain the tokens.
