The Doodles NFT ecosystem is heating up as anticipation builds for the launch of its native token, DOOD. Over the past 24 hours, Doodles recorded a 97% surge in sales volume, topping $1.1 million, according to CryptoSlam data—nearly double the previous day’s total. The spike catapulted the project to third place in daily NFT sales rankings, trailing only DMarket and Courtyard.
Momentum has been mounting all week. Over the past seven days, Doodles generated $2.6 million in trading volume—a 368% increase compared to the previous week—earning it a spot among the top five best-performing NFT collections across all chains.
The surge in activity is directly linked to the announcement of the DOOD token generation event, scheduled for May 9. Set to debut on the Solana blockchain, the token is expected to become a key component of the Doodles ecosystem, unlocking new functionality and utility for holders.
As interest in NFT utility intensifies, the Doodles rally highlights a broader trend: collections with well-defined tokenomics and upcoming airdrops are once again commanding market attention. In a gradually recovering NFT landscape, utility-driven hype is pulling sidelined traders back into the market.
Doodles Confirms DOOD Token Airdrop and Major Exchange Listings
As the countdown continues, Doodles has released full details about the highly anticipated DOOD token. The token generation event is set for May 9 and will take place on the Solana blockchain, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens—68% of which is allocated to the community.
According to the project team, 30% of the tokens will be distributed to existing Doodles NFT holders, while 13% will go to the broader “New Blood” community of engaged users. An additional 25% is earmarked for ecosystem development, including grants, activations, and partnerships.
The remaining 32% is split among the Doodles team (17%), the company treasury (5%), and a liquidity reserve (10%). Importantly, insider tokens will be locked for one year and then gradually released over a three-year vesting schedule—indicating a long-term commitment to project sustainability.
NFT holders can pre-register for their airdrop by linking their Ethereum and Solana wallets through the official Doodles platform. The token will also bridge to the Base blockchain in a later phase, setting the stage for multichain interoperability and DeFi integration.
NFT Market Climbs to $103M Weekly Volume as RWA and Doodles Drive Activity
The broader NFT market is also showing renewed momentum, with total sales volume climbing to $103 million over the past week—a 7% increase from the previous period, according to CryptoSlam.
Doodles’ recent spike contributed significantly to the uptick, alongside a major rally in real-world asset NFTs. Courtyard, a platform focused on tokenizing physical items like trading cards, generated more than $17 million in weekly sales, making it the top-performing collection.
Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for NFT transactions, recording $26.5 million in weekly sales. Polygon followed closely with $19.1 million, largely fueled by Courtyard’s performance. Mythos Chain and Bitcoin-based NFTs also saw notable activity, generating $16 million and $12 million respectively—signaling continued cross-chain expansion in the digital collectibles space.
