This proposal introduces a community-led profile picture (PFP) collection centered on Emmy, Magic Eden’s iconic figure. The project will deliver a set of 8,000 unique, hand-crafted Emmys that empower holders to express their identity while uniting under the Magic Eden community. Built together with the community, this collection strengthens engagement, expands cultural presence, and provides a collective opportunity to use proceeds from mint in support of $ME (through potential community-decided burns).
-Motivation
Profile picture collections are one of the strongest ways to unify a Web3 community. By launching a collection that everyone can identify with, we give Magic Eden members the ability to proudly rep Emmy across social platforms. This increases visibility, strengthens brand culture, and showcases the creativity of the Magic Eden ecosystem. A portion of mint proceeds may also be directed toward buying and burning $ME, aligning with broader community goals of strengthening the token.
- Specification
-
Tool/Product: An 8,000-supply Emmy PFP collection, designed with unique traits and heavy community input.
-
Technology Stack: Art created using Adobe Creative Suite; metadata generation and deployment handled via Magic Eden Launchpad.
-
Implementation Steps:
-
Collect trait suggestions and ideas from the community.
-
Design and finalize Emmy base art and variations.
-
Generate metadata and collection files.
-
Deploy collection through Magic Eden Launchpad.
-
Conduct mint, with stakers receiving free allocation and the rest open to the public.
-
Post-mint: Community decides if a portion of proceeds should be used for $ME burn & What $Me mint price should be.
-
-
Timeline (1–2.5 months):
-
Weeks 1–2: Community brainstorming + trait selection.
-
Weeks 2–6: Art creation and metadata preparation.
-
Weeks 6–8 (if needed): Launchpad integration, mint launch, and community reporting.
-
Benefits / Risks
Benefits:
-
Strengthens Magic Eden culture by giving members a visual identity.
-
Creates organic marketing as Emmy PFPs spread across X, Discord, and NFT communities.
-
Aligns with $ME tokenomics by enabling a potential community-led burn of mint proceeds.
-
Fosters inclusivity by involving the community in the design process.
Risks & Mitigation:
-
Risk: Mint may not fully sell out.
- Mitigation: Free allocation for stakers increases adoption; community giveaways drive awareness.
Outcomes
Success Criteria:
-
Launch of 8,000 Emmy PFPs on Magic Eden Launchpad.
-
High adoption by Magic Eden stakers and community members.
-
Emmy PFPs widely visible across social platforms.
-
Community governance in action around proceeds and potential $ME burn.
KPIs:
-
% of collection minted.
-
of unique minters.
-
% of staker participation.
-
Social visibility (Emmy PFPs used as avatars, mentions on X).
-
Amount of $ME burned (if chosen).
Cost Summary
Total Requested Budget: $5,110 USD ($ME equivalent at disbursement)
-
Artist Pay (Ghost): $4,000 (covering 1–2.5 months at ~$20/hr).
-
Adobe Creative Suite: $110 (2 months).
-
Community Giveaways: $1,000.
Notes:
-
Minting and royalty handling will be done via Magic Eden Launchpad.
-
Proceeds distribution (including possible $ME burn) will be determined by community governance.
-
Royalties: To ensure sustainability for ongoing art support, I am respectfully requesting a modest 1% share of royalties. This ensures the continued involvement while leaving the majority of royalties within the ecosystem.
Performance Milestones
-
Week 2: Trait brainstorming complete; 25% base art ready.
-
Week 4: 75% of traits finished; metadata structure finalized.
-
Week 6: 100% of traits completed; Launchpad integration started.

Week 8 (if needed): Mint live; community update on early adoption and proceeds.
Below I will include some examples I have shared across X & discord for feedback, etc, that have received great feedback. Size of the collection can be lowered if decided by everyone but I personally don’t think it should be a 10k+ collection.
I’m aiming to make us one of the greatest PFP collections possible for $ME where we can all unite under and show off across the world.
In advance I appreciate everyone here for your input and feedback / decision, because we all matter. I want to make traits you all want and can identify with. I want to make this collection something dope , cute, a vibe , and most importantly a reward for $ME believers we can be proud of.
The % of free mint to stakers I feel we should decide on together , rather it’s for the 1% or the top 50%. I personally feel the more stakers included the better, the larger & wider $ME gets seen. I also feel we should decide together the $ME price mint after stakers claim.
Much love to everyone , no matter what let’s kee the $ME vibes up💪
