Doodles NFT Sales Spike 97% Ahead of DOOD Token Airdrop and Memecoin Launch

Doodles NFT Sales Soar Ahead of DOOD Token Airdrop and Solana Memecoin Launch

Anticipation around the Doodles project’s upcoming DOOD token airdrop and memecoin launch has sparked a sharp rise in NFT trading activity. Sales of Doodles NFTs surged 97% within 24 hours, climbing to over $1.1 million on May 8, according to data from CryptoSlam. This nearly doubled the previous day’s volume and catapulted the collection to third place in daily NFT sales, behind only DMarket and Courtyard NFTs.

The boost in trading volume comes just ahead of the project’s token generation event, which is scheduled for May 9.

DOOD Token to Launch With Major Airdrop and Cross-Chain Plans

First announced in February, the DOOD token will have a total supply of 10 billion tokens minted on the Solana blockchain. The team has confirmed future plans to bridge the token to Base, expanding its reach across ecosystems.

Of the total supply, 68% is being allocated to the community:

• 30% to Doodles NFT holders

• 13% to the “New Blood” community

• 25% to an ecosystem development fund

The remaining distribution includes 17% for team members and 5% for the company, both of which are subject to a one-year cliff and a three-year vesting schedule. Another 10% is reserved for liquidity provisioning.

NFT holders are eligible to pre-register for the airdrop, with centralized exchanges like Binance and Bybit confirming they will list the token following its mint.

Massive Spike in Sales and Volume Across the NFT Market

Doodles recorded $2.6 million in sales over the past seven days, a 368% increase week-over-week, ranking it as the fifth most traded NFT collection. The broader NFT market also saw a lift, with total weekly sales volume reaching $103 million — a 7% gain compared to the previous week.

Ethereum-based NFTs continue to lead, accounting for $26.5 million in weekly sales, while Polygon NFTs followed with $19.1 million. The spike in Polygon activity was largely driven by real-world asset platform Courtyard, which alone registered $17 million in sales, topping all NFT collections for the week.

Mythos Chain and Bitcoin NFTs also saw solid weekly volumes, with $16 million and $12 million in sales, respectively.

Conclusion

As the Doodles project prepares to launch its highly anticipated DOOD token, traders are pouring into the NFT collection ahead of the airdrop. With strong community allocation, cross-chain ambitions, and major exchange support, Doodles is positioning itself at the intersection of NFT culture and memecoin momentum — fueling renewed energy across the broader digital collectible market.
