1) Here is an overview of @IBCFrens and why we got #6 rarest IBC Fren of V2 and #15 of V1. This is not advice but why we wanted to support them and add it to the future Curious Cosmonaut Research Gallery. #cosmos #stargaze #nft

2) IBC Frens is a 2 part collection totaling 10,000 NFTs. IBC Frens aims to be a hub of information on the NFT ecosystem overall in Cosmos by building out IBCNFTS.com.

3) IBCNFTS.com has overviews of NFTs on 5 IBC chains and over 200 projects linked. Many of these projects actually applied to be on the site as well.

4) The IBC Fren DAO owns the IBCNFTS.com website. So the NFT holders own the future of the product. IBC Frens is trying to build a Decentralized Product Organization where the community progresses the project, builds/maintains the products using the community pool

5) IBC Frens is already working on an NFT incubator where they will help others launch projects every 4-6 weeks approximately for fees that will go to the IBC Fren group. IBC Frens will start allowing some advertising on the website to generate some revenue for the NFT DAO.

6) They have already launched 4 validator sets in ecosystems and plan to grow that. This brings in revenue for the community, and it helps reduce fees for IBC Frens holders in those ecosystems. IBC Frens has been doing some fun things like monthly NFT coloring competitions.

7) They have some ambitious goals from expanding validators, @SecretNetwork tools, IBC NFT passes, auto compounding to increase staking rewards for those who stake with them.

8) Given that IBC Frens and Curious Cosmonaut Research share similar goals and synergies, we are excited to announce that we did this. We also snagged almost all of the WGMI faces as an NFT PFP writers who help support CCR in the future can potentially use if they’d like.
