Rumors swirled on X earlier this week, sparking a frenzy with web3 community members dissecting every clue. Their verdict? Doodles, the digital art and entertainment brand built upon Burnt Toast’s playful designs and music legend Pharrell Williams’ creative direction, was teaming up with McDonalds. By November 14, their suspicions proved correct. A Doodles rep confirmed the collaboration to OpenSea, and the announcement followed soon after. 

Starting November 18, customers at participating McDonald’s locations across the U.S. can purchase a McCafe coffee in a Doodles-themed holiday cup to unlock exclusive digital collectibles. Through the McDonalds app, customers can access fun digital character accessories and wearables redeemable on the Doodles Stoodio platform.

Blockchain gaming venture studio Animoca Brands has secured $10 million in funding to accelerate Mocaverse, its open metaverse platform. The funding round included contributions from investors such as CMCC Global and Kingsway Capital, with the goal of expanding features like the Moca ID identity system and building more interoperability infrastructure.

Animoca plans to use Mocaverse to connect its ecosystem of over 450 web3 brands to prioritize seamless transfers between digital environments and a continued focus on community-driven online experiences.
We’re excited to launch Google Sheets, our newest integration for Mode.
Mode’s vision is to connect data and business teams around data analysis. However, having a single source of truth is difficult when many teams use Google Sheets to collect, manage, prep, and share their data. Teams need a way to get that data into Mode that doesn’t require going to the data warehouse. 

Starting today, Mode customers can connect their Google Sheets data to Mode, enabling business and data teams to collaborate within the same platform.
