Woodies

What Woodies does

Woodies is a decentralized web3 entertainment brand built around a story-driven, family-friendly IP centered on tree-themed characters (Arden, Willow, Merkle, and others) set in the Wondermist Forest narrative universe. The company's core product is the Woodies Generative Characters collection of 9,739 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) issued on the Ethereum blockchain, augmented by four additional on-chain sub-collections: Woodies Core Characters, Special Mints, Origin Scenes by Woodies, and Legends of Wondermist. A distinctive feature is a decentralized IP ownership model under which individual holders of the Generative collection receive full commercial rights to their characters and may monetize, brand, or license them without restriction, while the Woodies Core Character IP is held centrally by UltraDAO Studios, LLC for media franchise development.
