what's quirkies?
Quirkies is a community-driven NFT project that positions itself as an action sports and streetwear brand in the digital age. It features collections like Quirkies Originals, which are profile picture NFTs emphasizing inclusivity and a rich backstory extending beyond the blockchain into real-world applications. The project fosters a strong, supportive community through events, partnerships, and initiatives like charity spaces, with recent leadership by community members turning it into a cultural movement. Quirkies aims to bridge web2 and web3, creating an exclusive yet welcoming space called Quirksville for holders and enthusiasts.
