Since Doodles announced this partnership with Pharrell, the NFT collection’s floor price has soared, now sitting at 15.3 ETH (approximately $17,275) on OpenSea at the time of writing. But this big partnership news isn’t the only thing Doodles shared this week. The Web3 media brand also announced that it secured an undisclosed amount of funding from Alexis Ohanian‘s Seven Seven Six venture capital firm. Seven Seven Six co-founder and brand expert, Katelin Holloway, will also join Doodles’ board.

Additionally, Doodles shared a trailer for its upcoming sophomore NFT collection titled Doodles 2. During NFT.NYC, the brand said its next NFT collection will not be released on the Ethereum blockchain, but didn’t disclose which blockchain it will shift to.
