Introducing $gob

The first-ever, officially endorsed Goblintown coin

Introducing $gob

It’s more than just a coin

$gob coin

I’m excited to announce that today we are launching $gob, the first-ever, officially endorsed Goblintown coin. You can learn more about it at gob.wtf as well as buy and sell $gob on our Opensea token page.

After years of saying no to the many requests for a Goblintown coin, we are ready to get in the trenches.

Deciding not to launch a token until now was an intentional decision. As a rule of thumb, we try to only do things when we have a differentiated view or unique angle to what we’re building – not just because everyone else is doing them. 

Timing is also essential. Now, it feels like the moment is right for $gob. In 2022 when we released the original Goblintown NFT, the market had crashed and launching (or even buying) any NFT project was considered crazy. NFTs were “over.” 

Right now feels like a similar moment for memecoins, different in the way that, while people still love memecoins, only the people launching them or very early to them, are getting any benefit. It’s causing people to feel like suckers and not play the memecoin game anymore. With that in mind, we think we’ve found a new way to approach memecoins that is better for everyone involved.

We believe the market is overdue and hungry for a fresh token design. 

What we've come up with takes aim at the entire cast of token killers: snipers, MEV bots, investor allocation dumps, pump-and-dumps, whale dumps, unchecked supply, lack of reinvestment, misaligned incentives between team and token holders - you name it. 

Instead of going through the nitty gritty twice, I’m linking to our $gob Green Paper that goes into great detail of our approach. I encourage you to read it.

A few additional notable things to mention about the launch.

gob.wtf Claim Site

As part of the token launch, we are releasing the $gob site, gob.wtf,  that includes more information, tokenomics, and the ability to claim your tokens.

Not just that but there is an epic $gob coin origin story you can watch play out on the site, a direct continuation of the original goblintown.wtf website from May 2022. 

We spent a lot of time thinking about how to reward the Truth ecosystem as well as collections on the periphery and friends of Goblintown.

All ERC-721 Truth ecosystem NFTs have $gob allocations. On top of that, any Truth items on Dyli also have @gob allocations associated with them coming soon. All tokens vest over 24 months with weekly unlock claims (except two NFTs in the ecosystem that vest weekly over 120 months).

On top of this we have set aside allocation for friends of Goblintown. These communities are Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgy, Rods, LinksDAO, Gemesis, Killabears, Chimpers, Deadfellaz, Quirkies, Futureverse’s Fluf World, Cryptopunks, Memeland Captainz, Milady, and BAYC. We have room to add more friends - if you’re an active community that wants a $gob allocation, feel free to reach out.  

Launching on Solana

Solana is, in our opinion, the place for memecoins. It’s where the people and volume are. I find that fighting against the market is a surefire way to have issues with whatever you’re trying to accomplish. We are excited to be on Solana and contributing to the ecosystem.

Opensea $gob Page

We’re happy to launch $gob with a coin page on Opensea, a new feature from them.

Recently, Opensea started launching coin pages to help reduce the rather convoluted experience of trying to find all the information about a memecoin in one place. For most memecoins, you would grab the coins contract address (CA) and then put it in Raydium, Jupiter, Meteora, or some other Solana DEX. Then the team behind the coin would work hard to reach success and eventually get added to CEX’s like Coinbase, Binance, Gate, OKX, etc

The Opensea token pages are robust and customizable to show off your brand/style. It’s a nice mix between DEX and CEX with Opensea’s OG trusted brand. I can totally see these taking off and Opensea competing with Coinbase, Robinhood once they revamp their mobile experience.

We recommend people check out $gob on our Opensea token page for a superior experience. 

Sell The Top

With the release of $gob, we are also rolling out a fun TikTok filter we developed called ‘Sell The Top’. The filter is a game simulating a memecoin trading experience, where you have 30 seconds to make as much as you can by screaming 'Buy' and 'Sell' while the chart goes up and down. At the end you see how much you made or lost.

If you have made money, you get a great Chad-like face filter with money flying down. If you lost money, you get infinite tears and shame on your bloodline for generations. There is also a global leaderboard. We plan to run fun contests to win $gob by playing ‘Sell The Top’. You can check it out here.

Telescram

Like OG Goblintown not having a Discord, we are bringing that same energy for $gob with no proper Telegram. We want to keep the conversation public and on the X timeline. 

However, we did set up a Telescram. Feel free to call our $gob Hotline on Telescram at (954) 869-4462(4GOB) and try to reach us. We are open 24/7/365, but good luck getting an employee to pick up. 

Please follow the directions from the phone menu and we will direct your call to the right department. Leave us a detailed message with all the love and/or hate you have. By calling us, you are giving us the full rights to record it and use the audio in any way we see fit. Including but not limited to, making fun of you on social media.

We are really excited to get $gob out in the world. And just a reminder that if you have any Truth NFTs, you should head over to gob.wtf to learn more about the token and claim your allocation.
