According to a report by Decrypt , there is a growing conflict between the founders of the Doodles NFT project and its holders, as the project tries to establish itself in the increasingly competitive Web3 space. The tension has escalated due to recent comments made by one of the co-founders, Jordan “poopie” Castro, defending the team’s approach to building new features and products in private instead of publicly. Members of the community see this as counter to the open ethos of Web3. The post, which was shared on the project’s official Discord server, has since been verified as legitimate by Decrypt. It remains to be seen how this tension will affect the value of Doodles NFTs.
