As a collaborative collection between the Moonbirds and Proceed w/ Caution communities, the 3000-piece allocation was split equally.

All pieces reserved for the Proceed w/ Caution community have been minted.

One NFT is reserved for each Nudebird—a Moonbird without additional traits including headwear, outerwear, eyewear, and special bodies or eyes—that was nested at 7:00pm PT on March 8th. This allowance is available to whoever holds these birds in the future, even if they are un-nested and sold in the meantime.

In addition, we have airdropped 185 pieces as a surprise to nested Moonbirds (with and without clothing and traits).

Overview

Proceed w/ Caution as you enter the moonlight that shines upon the Monsters, Oddities, and creatures of flight. An epic collaboration between Justin Mezzell, the artist behind Moonbirds, and Des Lucréce, the creator of Monsters and Proceed w/ Caution. What happens when Des’ Monsters collide with the world of Moonbirds? The resulting series introduces 8 species across the iconic spectrum of colors from Proceed w/ Caution.

Glitched Defybirds

In addition to the 64 base Defybirds, there are a further 8 Glitch Defybird types available—one per species.

To claim a Glitch Defybird, you will need to burn one of each color of a single species of Defybird, i.e. 8 in total. Burning will open 9am PT on Friday, March 17th. There is no limit on the number of Glitches that can be claimed.

Eligibility

This collection of 3000 Defybirds is available to all Nudebirds—Moonbirds without additional attributes/traits—who were nested March 8 and selected Des Lucréce holders. delegate.cash will be enabled. You will be able to check here to see if your Moonbird is eligible and with a claim still available.
