TNT #69 - Passport Sneak Peeks, Poker, Pond War & More
Lots to see in this one!
Happy Saturday
I'm excited to share that this week's Nonco Times is sponsored by the MaxiFund of NFT Venues, which helps keep this newsletter free for everyone.
It has been an exciting week with lots happening in the pond. We've been given sneak peeks of the traits that will come with the passport mints, and the long-awaited alpha release from WenGoods is on the horizon if you've been following Discord.
Ducks are currently on sale, with the floor prices quite low. Ducks are eagerly awaiting the changes that WenGoods will bring. We look forward to hearing more soon as they work behind the scenes.
The Twitter community has been buzzing, and we appreciate everyone actively spreading the word about ducks. Keep up the great work! We're getting closer to the 22ETH milestone.
Happy Reading,

Pond War
To participate, all community members are invited to choose a team and purchase 1 NFT from their preferred collection (OG/HELL) every 2 months. NO WETH purchases. We are counting the purchases since the last announcement (6/8/23) until today.
Once you join the team, your mission will be to help raise your team's floor price above the level of the prior month's floor price. That month-over-month floor price increase is what will measure the Pond War.
At the end of the 22nd of every month, the team with the highest floor price over the prior month will have all their members entered into a roulette, and three winners will be selected for amazing prizes. Teams can add new members at any time. Additionally, certain months will feature special prizes for achieving specific objectives.
To participate, follow these simple instructions:
Choose your team - OG Ducks or Hell Ducks. You can only choose one side every 2 months.
Purchase 1 NFT from your preferred collection every 2 months to re-enter the team.
If you LIST any OG or Hell duck during the 2-month period, you will have to buy double the amount of ducks that you listed in order to qualify for the prizes.
Join the team's channel and start promoting the collection to raise the floor price.
The team with the highest floor price over their prior month at the end of each 22nd will have the chance to win amazing prizes.
Keep an eye out for special prizes for achieving specific objectives.
