Hi, I'm Keegan. Last year, I embarked on an unconventional journey that challenged conventional wisdom about intellectual property and digital assets. I created my own IP for a stick figure named Frank.
Here's the thing about stick figures: generally, you can't secure intellectual property rights for them. They're too simple, too generic, too universal. Copyright law requires sufficient originality and creativity, and your basic stick figure, circle head, line body, stick arms and legs, doesn't meet that threshold. It belongs to everyone and no one.
But Frank? Frank was different. Through careful customization and unique characteristics, I developed a stick figure character that transcended the limitations of the medium. Frank wasn't just any stick figure. He had his own personality, his own story, his own identity. This level of creative expression allowed us to establish intellectual property protections that wouldn't typically apply to standard stick figure representations.
What started as a creative experiment evolved into something remarkable. Our community rallied around Frank, and together we built something truly special. Last year, we successfully raised substantial funds for our IP, demonstrating that even the simplest concepts can resonate powerfully when executed with authenticity and vision.
At our peak, we hit approximately a $4 million market cap, though I should note this figure may not be entirely accurate due to our strategic approach of injecting single sided liquidity to optimize fee generation and maintain healthy liquidity depth. This sophisticated treasury management strategy helped us build a sustainable economic model around the Frank IP.
Our success wasn't just about creating a character. It was about pioneering a new model for how simple, accessible art can create real value in the digital age. We proved that with the right approach, even a stick figure can become a legitimate intellectual property asset. Frank represented a bridge between the democratic accessibility of stick figure art and the value creation potential of unique creative works.
The liquidity strategies we employed weren't just financial engineering. They were about creating long term sustainability. By carefully managing our treasury and implementing single sided liquidity injection, we generated consistent fees that fed back into the ecosystem, creating a virtuous cycle of value creation and community growth.
The Frank experiment taught us invaluable lessons about community building, IP creation, and the intersection of art and economics in the digital space. It demonstrated that simplicity isn't a limitation, it's a feature. The most basic forms of expression, when paired with genuine creativity and strong community engagement, can achieve remarkable things.
Now we're doing something even bigger. We're creating a project that focuses on stick figures as a whole, not just a single character. We're tokenizing a stickman, the most universal symbol in human history. Think about it: stick figures transcend every language, every culture, every border. They've been with us for 30,000 years, from cave walls to exit signs to internet memes. There's no symbol more recognizable, more democratic, more fundamentally human.
By tokenizing this universal symbol, we're not just creating another digital asset. We're building a movement around the idea that the simplest things can hold the most value. We're proving that you don't need complexity to create community. You don't need elaborate art to build something meaningful. Sometimes all you need is a circle, a few lines, and a vision.
This project represents the natural evolution of what we started with Frank. If Frank showed us that a customized stick figure could become valuable IP, this new venture explores what happens when we embrace the stick figure in its purest, most universal form. We're not fighting against the fact that anyone can draw a stick figure. We're celebrating it. We're tokenizing it. We're making it ours while keeping it everyone's.
