The Strays
Overview
The Strays is Maven1408's Solana creative hub for artists, builders, and misfits — a tattoo-rooted PFP line tied to Strayville, Melk Money ($MEOW), and a New York IRL ink shop under the same brand. Holders stake on GOTM Labz, swap and upgrade traits with SOL or $MEOW, and sit inside a studio stack that moves from on-chain PFPs to street merch and custom art.
Rewards / staking
Holders stake The Strays on GOTM Labz (pathname thestrays / nftstake.app) to earn Melk Money ($MEOW), with a separate $MEOW stake surface on stake.gotmlabz.io for token-side accrual.
Token
$MEOW (Melk Money) is the Strayville reward token holders earn by staking The Strays — spent into trait swaps, raffles, and exclusive drops, with thin open-market liquidity on Solana.
Holder utility
Beyond staking, holders upgrade Strays through trait swaps and premium trait flows (SOL or $MEOW), scoop pool buys with instant upgrades, access merch and IRL tattoo-shop perks in New York, and join Strayville community programs around art and creators.
Services
The Strays team offers creative and technical services for other NFT projects — full collections, custom traits, 1/1 artwork, and branded marketing materials beyond the house PFP line.
