Introduction
The Voi Network, known for its commitment to decentralization and community-driven innovation, has seen tremendous growth, particularly during Phase 2 of its test net. At the heart of this progress lies the Dorks NFT community, a group that has played a pivotal role in shaping the ecosystem. The Dorks, originally a fun project on Algorand by members of the Algorillas community, have evolved into a much larger effort on Voi, thanks to favorable tokenomics, refined art style, and strong community acceptance. As we dive into their contributions, we also acknowledge the challenges faced in Phase 2, such as low NFT activity and limited community engagement, which the Dorks sought to overcome.
Background on the Dorks NFT Community
The Dorks NFT community started on Algorand as a spontaneous and creative project led by members of the Algorillas community. The collection was conceived and minted within just 24 hours, with playful traits and little thought given to long-term goals or future plans. However, this small-scale project found new life as it expanded onto the Voi Network, accompanied by a detailed long-term plan and enhanced artwork by Narubet. Now considered the true genesis collection on Voi, the Dorks community is driven by core principles of collaboration, innovation, and engagement — values that have fueled its growth and influence within the Voi ecosystem.
The Lasting Value of Dorks on Voi
One of the standout features of the Dorks NFT project on Voi is its exclusivity. With only 50 pieces in existence, Dorks NFTs have become one of the most sought-after collections on the network. Acquiring these NFTs from holders is no easy feat, given their rarity and the anticipated value they will hold on the main net. Amazingly, a Dork was recently acquired by two new community members for the equivalent of $150–300 (1,169–2,500 $ALGO), while previous sales have reached as high as 133,200 main net VOI (a lot more than $150). These sales highlight the growing demand and value of Dorks NFTs, positioning them as prized assets within the Voi ecosystem.

The Launch of Chubs v2 NFTs
As the Dorks community looked to further enhance engagement within the Voi Network, they introduced Chubs v2 NFTs. The primary goal of this launch was to increase NFT adoption and provide test net users additional activity. The launch was a resounding success, with nearly 900 wallets now holding Chubs and over 2000 sales totaling 3.2M $VOI via the Nautilus marketplace. This level of engagement significantly boosted activity within the test net, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the Voi ecosystem.
The Introduction of UNIT and wUNIT Tokens
The Dorks community also played a crucial role in the launch of UNIT and wUNIT tokens within the Voi Network. These tokens were introduced to incentivize participation, with UNIT serving as a key component in rewarding test net users and driving engagement. The introduction of UNIT after the launch of Chubs v2 ensured that holding a Chubs NFT would have real value on the main net, aligning with the overall goal of increasing engagement. As the project progressed, a question emerged: Could UNIT become the go-to pairing for other successful projects’ liquidity pools within the Voi ecosystem? This possibility adds an exciting dimension to the long-term vision for UNIT and its role within the network.

Vision and Excitement for Shaping the Future of Voi
Looking ahead, the Dorks community is filled with enthusiasm for its ongoing participation in the Voi Network. Members are eager to continue contributing to the network’s growth, leveraging their creativity and collaborative spirit to shape the future of Voi. The community envisions playing a significant role in the development of new projects and initiatives that will further strengthen the ecosystem. With their proven track record and unwavering commitment, the Dorks community is poised to be a driving force in the evolution of the Voi Network.
Conclusion
The Dorks NFT community has been instrumental in the success of Voi Network Phase 2 test net. From launching exclusive NFTs to introducing innovative tokens like UNIT, the Dorks have demonstrated the power of community-driven initiatives within the blockchain space. As the network prepares for its main net launch, the Dorks community remains dedicated to fostering a vibrant and engaged ecosystem. For those looking to be part of this exciting journey, there has never been a better time to join the Dorks community and contribute to the future of Voi.
