History
The Famous Fox Federation started on Solana in September 2021 with the mint of 7,777 Famous Foxes. The project was first planned for Ethereum, and the team moved it to Solana for lower fees and faster transactions.
Firsts
Over the years the team shipped a number of tools that were new to Solana at the time:
- One of the first NFT staking programs on Solana.
- Peer-to-peer multi-NFT swaps (FoxySwap).
- The first mint paid for with a project's own token ($FOXY, for Famous Fox Dens).
- The first collection to run auctions and raffles in its own token.
- Dens: on-chain homes for your Foxes, linked to your socials and NFT portfolio.
- NFT messaging (Ding).
- One of the first floor-sweeping, bulk-sending and bulk-listing tools.
- An OTC trading post and a peer-to-peer whitelist token market.
- Gamified staking (Missions).
- The first peer-to-peer raffle service, which grew into Rafffle.
Some of these tools have since been retired. See Retired products.
