Contrary to popular stigma, ADHD has been profoundly beneficial for us, and has enabled us to be more creative and open to exploring things others wouldn't have explored, such as crypto and NFTs, and to dive deeper than others in exploring these things (it's how we wrote a 90 page primer on NFTs in 6 days).Some of our favorite people in the world were also almost certainly ADHD, such as Leonardo da Vinci (we like to think he would have been into NFTs!). ADHD has its downsides, but it's far from being without its upsides as well!We felt that it was only fitting to create an avatar that would embody these positive traits about ADHD we cherish so deeply, and we hope you will love your Addy and treat it with care as it explores the frontiers of crypto by your side.
‍
An Addy is your curious ADHD octopus crypto companion, filled with boundless energy and hyperactive enthusiasm for learning each and every little thing about crypto. Smart, curious, and all over the place with eight hands to do eight things at once, we felt an octopus best embodied the essence of being a bold, brave new pioneer on the crypto frontier. Mai and Ben, the developers behind this project, are both ADHD, and a large proportion of our friends in crypto are similarly ADHD - crypto is the perfect playground for an ADHD soul, with a million shiny infinitely interesting things to play with and what feels like thousands of things coming out every day.

This is for us to share some of the more notable benefits we offer to our Addy Hodlers. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to get an Addy, perhaps this will persuade you. And if not, you'll at least have a better understanding of what's going on at the Curious Addys community!

Free courses - We partnered with Nas Academy, an interactive education learning portal with a variety of different classes spanning multiple subjects and created three classes and all of which are provided for free to our OG Addy Hodlers.
- Master NFTs in 7 Days
- Crypto for Beginners
- How to Get Started with Web3 Development

TOOLS & FEATURES - While many of our tools and features are available for the entire community (our custom Octodad security, our virtual trading platform, the Addy Adventure tutorial site), there is one tool reserved exclusively for Addy Hodlers —the Portfolio Tracker. The Portfolio Tracker monitors total cost, total value, floor price, % growth, and more. It can even factor in your gas charges at the time of purchase.

‍Zen Academy discord server access - As we partnered with Zeneca_33, educator/entrepreneur/thought leader of NFTs with 295k followers, Curious Addys NFT holders can get an access to Zen Academy discord server for free! Their community is as friendly as ours yet has so many alpha members who are knowledgeful for NFTs. Check out their discord from here!

‍ART - We regularly commission art for our Addy Hodlers. While some pieces are made more widely available, the vast majority of our artdrops are for OG Addy Hodlers only.

COLLABS/PARTNERSHIPS - One ongoing benefit about being an OG Addy Hodler is the connections we form with other communities. Our members are regularly treated to raffles for presale list spots, NFT giveaways, game demos, early access to tools, and more! And the larger we grow, the more diverse and frequent these partnerships become.‍

Our community is on our discord, so come join from here! Our founders and team members are there to support you for your journey, so come chat with us from here!

Great question! As we've gotten so many questions about how to buy NFTs on OpenSea, we made a guide for you! Check out this article to learn more.
