Today, Nervous is officially two years old! 

Of course, the company was started on 4/20. We are children of the interwebs, after all.

To celebrate our birthday we thought we’d take a look back at where we started and talk a little about where we are heading!

Nervous started because @dylanreed needed a change. He was working in the health care industry and it was time to move on. His brother @harper.eth said “Hey, you should look at this whole NFT thing” and so he looked. And then he looked some more. And then he dove right in. https://i.imgur.com/t5RRpak.png

.@unklesteve came onboard in late August 2021 after a healthy bout of skepticism about NFTs & the direction they were heading in. He and Dylan found themselves very aligned on the goal of using NFTs to do stuff that was interesting, forward-thinking, and community-focused. https://i.imgur.com/QrMItON.png

So that became the focus of Nervous: using technology to add value to the world and create better communities. And in the two short years we've been here, we feel pretty dang good about what we've done towards that goal! https://i.imgur.com/Reg4oRm.png

We've done delightful art projects: Dumpling Pets (shawnimal), Mini Melties (buffmonster) and Gachapon (with a bunch of artists), because putting more art into the world fills our souls and makes us happy. https://i.imgur.com/xBHefur.png

We helped br0ads1de.com launch an amazing PFP collection tied to an excellent sci-fi novel, and have watched an incredible community form as they continue to develop the world of Broadside. Bestseller list, here they come!

One of our earliest projects was writing the smart contract for The Hundreds epic project, Adam Bomb Squad! Helping one of the best streetwear brands in the world create a tokenized community was an incredible experience, and they still have one of the best communities around. https://i.imgur.com/UlNML4X.png

We even helped one of our favorite bands Less Than Jake, create a tokenized fan club and Discord community that's doing great and giving them an awesome way to connect with their fans. Community really is what we love the most! https://i.imgur.com/Co6E7LZ.png

Since we're nerds and we do love digging into the numbers, here's a brief glance at some of ours: 

Nervous contracts have created more than 60k NFTs with almost 22k unique holders and more than 48.5k ETH in secondary sales. 

That's a lotta tokens, y'all. WOW. https://i.imgur.com/PpYgE8n.png

But as the saying goes, the real NFTs are the friends we've made along the way. And as the market has contracted we've doubled down on our focus: using technology to create better communities. While it's not quite ready for a full launch yet, we're stoked to announce Plus One. https://i.imgur.com/EldiV43.png

Plus One is a service we're offering that lets your holders mint and gift access to whatever aspects of your community you wish. Each Plus One ERC-71 is permanently bound to the original token, and can be gifted and recalled by the primary token holder. https://i.imgur.com/8h4I3NS.png

Plus One is a safe and easy way to empower your community to grow your community, without diluting the supply of your collection. Think of Plus Ones as a guest pass for your community! Check out https://www.nervous.net/plusone for more info and keep an eye open for launch info! https://i.imgur.com/CnWnYWE.png

We've been pretty busy lately, doing a lot on the consulting side of our business. Our biggest project right now is a super-secret thing we're helping the good folks Google take to launch that has nothing to do with NFTs and everything to do with our favorite topic: community. https://i.imgur.com/FmZSud1.png

It's been a wild two years, and we're forever grateful to be part of an industry that has supported us with such love and kindness. Special shoutouts to Bobby Hundreds, crisisdao, Vayner3, Mike Shinoda, Crossmint, NonFungibleSC, Galactic and everyone else who has befriended us. https://i.imgur.com/uZfwjLe.png

Happy birthday to us! Here's to many more years of doing cool shit with rad people! Make sure you subscribe to The Nervous Podcast wherever you get stuff for your earholes (link is on our site) and thanks so much for all the love and support! https://i.imgur.com/DldEiab.png

Working with the warpsound.ai folks on their incredible collection and becoming friends with Jeff and the rest of their team has been an absolute joy, and watching them continue building is truly inspiring. The team, the community, the music...all of it's amazing!
