On April 14, 2023, PROOF Holdings, Inc. made an exciting move by filing a new trademark called "Moonbirds Approved". It's not being used in the USA yet, but they have big plans for it!

The trademark covers a variety of services related to digital assets, like NFTs, cryptocurrency, and art, as well as cutting-edge technologies like blockchain, virtual reality, and metaverses.

What does this mean for the world of web3? Well, it looks like "Moonbirds Approved" is all about supporting projects related to digital assets and related technologies. They offer consulting, data verification, quality assurance, and grants for projects in these fields. Plus, they're all about promoting the interests of individuals and owners of NFTs and digital assets.

But wait, there's more! The trademark also includes creating and hosting online communities for discussion, feedback, and networking related to these fields. This could be a game-changer for people looking to connect with others in the world of web3.

It's highly likely that "Moonbirds Approved" will be used in their DAO, Lunar Society, where community members can come together to discuss, evaluate, and approve projects related to Moonbirds.

The Moonbirds: Diamond Exhibition launches on April 27 — 10,010 digital artworks.

This exhibition features 22 artists and marks our unified focus on artists, art, and collecting for the Moonbirds community:

This will be redeemable for all Moonbirds once they reach Diamond Nest.

There are 2 types of passes for the Diamond Exhibition.

Moonbirds who nested within the 1st 24 hours will receive a Day One Pass on Apr 18. You can burn your pass from Apr 24-26 to indicate preferences. Then, on Apr 27, they’ll run the draw and airdrop the art to Day One Pass holders.

Moonbirds who reach Diamond Nest from day two and beyond will receive a Mint Pass they can use to choose any available piece from Moonbirds: Diamond Exhibition after April 27.

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with IPX, a global IP platform that created the popular LINE FRIENDS characters loved by millions worldwide. 

Our partnership with IPX opens the door for collaborative content between our IPs, retail distribution at LINE FRIENDS stores, and immersive IRL activations that combine our two worlds.

Stay tuned for more — we’re toying with a few ideas for what could come next 👀

"As we’ve shared, our Founder and CEO was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Since then, her condition has accelerated, which has impacted the go-forward plan for both R Labs and R Planet, and the team has been let go last week. 

As supporters of R Planet, we are still here on our own time as we want to do the best we can for our community. Your R Planet NFT still holds its IP and brand rights. And, we are continuing conversations with one of the biggest media platforms in the world, requiring time and effort. 

There is a place for web3forgood. However, given the lack of resourcing, we are pausing all initiatives and Social Mediums (Discord, Twitter Spaces, Grant Program etc). 

We will be hibernating the project while strategic partnerships and alternatives are considered. We understand that this news has a direct impact on you, and we recognize that we may not have all of the answers at this time. We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this difficult situation and find the best path forward on your behalf."

Great news! PROOF has just announced their newest ecosystem token, $TALONS. At the moment, only the Moonbirds original collection will accrue $TALONS for every nested day, but PROOF plans to add this function to Moonbird Elders and Moonbird Mythics in the future.

If you're currently holding onto some Oddities, you'll be happy to know that you can burn one of them to claim a Stone Mythics Egg and start accruing $TALONS daily. 

This is an exciting opportunity to grow your crypto portfolio and continue to be a part of the PROOF ecosystem.
