The Road Ahead
What to Expect from Hodler's Hideout
SE01 - Season of Origins - Q3 2024
CONTENT:
Welcome to the OG season! This quarter, we're diving deep into the LORE of the Hodler's Hideout universe. Get ready to explore the origins and purpose of our space in the wild world of web3. Discover who Hodler Harkin and X-Walter are, what kind of swampy species they belong to, and their unique connection to the blockchain. This season is all about perfecting and enhancing the interactivity of our segments. We're listening to you, our NFT Hodlers, and tweaking the show based on your feedback. By the end of this season, expect some segments to evolve, disappear, or new ones to be added based on what you want to see.
DEV & DESIGN:
This season, we're laser-focused on refining the back end of the Writer's Room voting system. Our goal is to ensure a seamless user experience that reflects our commitment to delivering Emmy-worthy content in the web3 space. We'll be exploring the dynamic design and utilities of our Backstage Pass NFT Collection, including dynamic artwork changes driven by voting results and revenue sharing for cast members, content writers, and Backstage Producer's Leaderboard qualifiers. Additionally, we're enhancing our 2.5D claymation animation style with more dynamic animations to make the experience even more engaging.
SE02 - Season of IRL 01 - Q4 2024
CONTENT:
As many of you Degens know, IRL (In Real Life) events are the heart and soul of the crypto community. They're the perfect chance to meet fellow enthusiasts and finally hang out with those cartoon jpeg friends you've been chatting with online. Whether it's Art Basel in Miami, NFT NYC, Devcon, or Paris Blockchain Week, these events are where lifelong friendships are forged and favorite web3 communities come to life.
This season, we're bringing the excitement of IRL events straight to you! Our interactive TV show, founded by an Emmy-winning producer/filmmaker, will cover these events with unique, on-the-streets interviews, user-generated content, and comprehensive coverage of all the latest projects. We'll hand film cameras to our Community, capturing the essence of these events from their perspective. So even if you can't make it to London, Tokyo, or Dubai, don't worry—we've got you covered.
We'll also introduce animated SNL-type short form scripted skits and storylines starring Hodler Harkin, X-Walter and other cast of characters from the Hodler Harkin IP that will be additional content outside of the weekly show. We'll also be looking to highlight degens and their PFP's in these new skits during the season. So, if you've ever wanted to star in or write skits or sketches like SNL, Key & Peele or Inside Amy Schumer, here's looking at you, kid!
DEV & DESIGN:
We're enhancing our dynamic NFT collection by introducing a Reputation Score. This score will change based on your interaction with the show, impacting not only your voting power but also the design of your NFT. Each Backstage Pass will contain a unique Reputation Score, which will carry over when traded on secondary markets. This season, we're committed to making your experience even more interactive and rewarding.
SE03 - Season of Giving 01 - Q1 2025

We're partnering with major brands entering the space for weekly sponsored giveaways in a new segment dedicated to prizes.
Our founder, Mr. Story, who received a life-saving liver transplant, is deeply passionate about this season's motif.
