Paradex is making some interesting moves in the NFT space that people aren't really talking about yet. They're weaving together a three-layer NFT ecosystem that ties directly into their token economy.

The centerpiece? Shizopunk - their flagship collection that's sitting at a 0.72 ETH floor right now. But here's where it gets strategic: holding these NFTs isn't just about the art. They're positioning Shizopunks as the gateway to future $DIME airdrops, basically turning NFT ownership into yield-generating assets.

Then there's the whole Dave Still Stands thing, which seems to be part of their broader NFT framework alongside $DAVE tokens. The setup gives holders optionality - you're buying into culture and community, but there's actual financial leverage baked in through the token connections.

What's clever is how they're bundling cultural assets with DeFi mechanics. Instead of NFTs being purely collectibles or tokens being purely speculative, Paradex is creating this hybrid model where one feeds into the other. The NFT gives you community status and airdrop eligibility, while the tokens ($DIME and $DAVE) provide the liquidity layer.

Still early to see if this model gains traction, but the tokenomics design is worth watching.
