What is Moonbirds?

Moonbirds is a prominent Ethereum-based NFT collection of 10,000 unique, pixelated owl profile picture (PFP) avatars, launched on April 16, 2022, by internet entrepreneur Kevin Rose through his PROOF Collective, designed to foster a vibrant community of collectors, creatives, and dreamers in the Web3 space with utility beyond mere digital art.

The holders can stake their Moonbirds to earn rarer "Nests" over time — such as Rare, Epic, or Legendary — granting escalating benefits like exclusive Discord access, events, and IP rights, alongside customizable backgrounds and soulbound minting partnerships for deeper ecosystem integration.

The project expanded to include related collections like Mythics and Oddities, emphasizing rarity-powered traits and private club membership to build lasting connections in Web3 art and culture.
