Today's Based Gooeys lore is about the Wily Wisp!
Natural tricksters, Wily Wisps are spirits comprised of energy flows found throughout the island. While Wisps can appear across the lands, they tend to congregate around the Shimmering Fields due to its abundant energy flows.
Wily Wisps have a mischievous chaotic nature, often attempting to lure, scare and steal from unwary Gooeys as sport and entertainment.
Wily Wisps are able to change form, playing tricks on naïve Gooeys. They often imitate the appearance of Gooeys as a way to lure unsuspecting Gooeys into dangerous situations. Benevolent Gooeys commonly fall victim to Wily Wisps, mistaking them for their kin in need of assistance.

Today's lore is about the Clutter Crab!
As their name suggests, Clutter Crabs collect things and place them on their shells as trophies. Some of their finds are of questionable utility, but they will collect and steal whatever catches their eye!
Unfortunately their penchant for theft means that Gooeys are often faced with the challenging task of confronting Clutter Crabs to reclaim stolen items.
Clutter Crabs grow in size during their lifetime and like most hermits, prefer a life of solitude. An older Clutter Crab's shell can sometimes look like a pile of trash from afar due to the amount of items it has hoarded. Like many crabs, it can vacate its shell and change, sizing up as they grow. Beware their pincers and keep your belongings with you at all times!

Today's lore post is about the elusive Coralhorn!
Coralhorn are commonly hunted for its delicious meat while their hard coral bones are used to craft jewellery, tools and weaponry. Coralhorn are agile beasts, but extremely timid in nature. They are large creatures, who don't normally view Gooeys as a threat. Coralhorn are well protected, their weakness being their soft underbellies. It makes traditional hunting with arrows and blades difficult as they simply run away. Their fortified bodies mean that Gooeys generally try to stun Coralhorn for the kill, rather than hunting them outright.
Typically, Gooeys will try to spook Coralhorn with loud traps and unexpected noises from high up in the Squashroom treetops. By causing enough of a calamity, the Coralhorn may be stunned long enough for Gooeys to go in for the kill. Careful of their charging horns though--an angry Coralhorn can cause serious damage!

Let's dive further into our lore today, and explore the monsters from Based Gooeys!
The creatures roaming the Squashroom Forest are more akin to curiosities than monsters. Many are peaceful and timid in nature, but may become defensive if approached or antagonised.
Due to the forest's high humidity, you can see Jellicopters flying above creeks, their large ears flapping as if they were wings. Don't get too close and be wary of their tentacles though! Jellicopters are curious by nature, and may try to reach out and touch Gooeys, giving an itchy sting--ouch!

With thanks to @horsefacts.eth for giving me the heads-up; looks like waifucast was acting up!
She's all fixed - awaiting mints will gen within 48hrs!
(Special thanks to @neynar for not handing me an AWS bill for hitting 1400% compute units as it errored out in a loop 💀)

Gooeys are optimistic creatures: they believe that if one wishes hard enough, things will work out--and they often are right! Their child-like curiosity for the world around them frequently leads to fascinating discoveries, particularly when crafting and cooking.
Gooeys find new ingredients and materials on their adventures, which they don't have much knowledge about. Luckily they are fairly immune to food poisoning, and their desire to try to cook everything often leads to enchanting and useful buffs. However, we don't recommend trying their dishes if you're not a Gooey, no matter what they promise you!

A reminder from @eggman.eth that his long-term project is the one and only Nova DAO. We've built through the storms and continue to build... this time on @base! 🔵
Today's Based Gooeys world lore is about Gooey villages!
What Gooey villages lack in neatness and modernity, they make up for in cosiness. Precision engineering may not be their forte, but everything is constructed with passion: homes are a part of a Gooey's identity.
Homes usually look like a small mound, sometimes embedded at the trunk of a large tree. They have windows, doors, and even wooden extensions to support a growing Gooey family!
Homes are reinforced inside with clay, and adorned with vegetation and flowers. Shards of yellow energy crystals are used for lamps, which gives Gooey villages their distinctive welcoming glow, seen from a distance even within the darkest depths of Fae Forest.

While the live version of WaifuCast remains the same (consistency and all), I've kept adding lil' improvements over time.
Biggest ofc was hooking it to /imgnai - srs power in modern models.
Mebbe a lil summin' to release to the v1 minters in the future? 👀
1000 $degen for anyone who guesses all the waifus below!

Check this interview with our lead developer @eggman.eth and Whiskas from @0x52basedpepe! So many great topics covered from v3 LPs to fair launches and of course what we're cooking ober here at Nova DAO!
Definitely well worth a listen!

Today's world lore is about the Shimmering Fields!
Further afield from the Squashroom Forest lie the Shimmering Fields. Luminescent flowers, pink grass and gnarled roots grow across these fields. The flat terrain is easy to traverse, littered with food, resources and outposts for adventuring Gooeys to rest and share their tales at the campfire.
The Shimmering Fields are home to some monsters, an ideal hunting ground for Gooeys to hone their skills. Living stumps are known to roam these fields, attacking Gooeys brazen enough to approach. Statues from long-abandoned shrines can be found throughout, and perhaps a roaming spirit or two!

Chalk one up for the "because we can" gang
USDO, Nova's dogecoin-backed stablecoin has now held the $1 peg for 229 days so far.
It remains over-collateralized by 261.565%; and until recently, stood as the *only* stablecoin available on Dogechain (bridged usdc & usdt arriving back in!)
USDO serves more as a technical showcase than anything else, as its inherent "safety first" mechanics makes it very difficult to grow in liquidity.
However, the protocol itself has stood through some deeply turbulent times in the market without breaking a sweat.
More importantly, USDO can function with *any* protocol - turning any token at all into a fully-fledged, and fully decentralized stablecoin.
