Doodles NFTs are lighting up the digital collectibles market with a remarkable surge in sales. On May 8, Doodles recorded $1.1 million in sales—a 97% jump from the previous day—catapulting the collection to third place in daily NFT rankings, trailing only DMarket and Courtyard.
The rally hasn’t been a one-day wonder. Over the past week, Doodles has generated $2.6 million in total sales volume, marking a staggering 368% increase from the week prior. The sharp rise comes as anticipation builds for the project’s next milestone: the launch of the DOOD token on May 9.
The DOOD token is designed as the centerpiece of the Doodles ecosystem, with 10 billion tokens slated for minting on Solana and plans to bridge to the Base blockchain. Airdrop allocations have further fueled the hype. Doodles NFT holders can pre-register to claim a portion of the supply, with 30% reserved for the community, 13% for the New Blood collective, and 25% earmarked for an ecosystem fund.
Notably, the project’s team and company will receive 22% of the tokens, subject to a one-year lock and a three-year vesting schedule. The remaining 10% will provide liquidity to support trading. Major exchanges, including Binance and Bybit, have confirmed they will list the token shortly after its May 9 debut.
NFT Market Sees Broader Gains as Doodles Takes the Spotlight
The Doodles boom comes amid a broader uptick in NFT sales. Total weekly NFT sales reached $103 million, up 7% from the previous week, signaling renewed strength across the sector. Ethereum-based NFTs led with $26.5 million in sales, followed by Polygon’s $19.1 million, buoyed largely by Courtyard, which alone accounted for $17 million.
Other blockchains posted strong numbers as well. Mythos Chain logged $16 million in sales, while Bitcoin-based NFTs tallied $12 million.
With its sharp sales growth and the impending DOOD token launch, Doodles is positioning itself not just as a participant in the NFT revival, but as a leader shaping its next chapter. Collectors and traders are watching closely as the project prepares to expand its ecosystem and solidify its place in the fast-evolving digital asset market.
