AI is transforming the entertainment landscape. New ideas, concept and protocols continue to push the boundaries of digital creativity – and one such project looks to harness the power of AI whilst rewarding human input. That project is called DreamNet.
Developed by the team behind popular NFT collection Doodles, DreamNet looks to reward creativity whilst allowing AI to help build compelling narratives, worlds, characters and lore – with blockchain technology underpinning it all.
DreamNet is ambitious, massive in scale, and has the potential to have a gigantic impact – but what is it for, how does it works, and when can we expect to get our hands on it?
Here’s our complete guide to DreamNet.

DreamNet is a community-owned storytelling protocol designed to drive AI-driven content creation whilst rewarding valuable human creativity.
Developed by the team behind the Doodles NFT collection, DreamNet was revealed in March 2025. At its heart, DreamNet allows humans to contribute characters, lore, locations and more to existing narrative worlds, offering fair rewards based on audience reception, and utilising AI to help further develop and expand these ideas.
Central to DreamNet is the WorldState – a dynamic ledger that records contributions, assesses audience reception, and tracks the development of narrative worlds. WorldState also handles the reward mechanisms of DreamNet, making DreamNet fully-decentralised from the Doodles team.
DreamNet leverages multiple blockchain networks. $DOOD – which was launched on the Solana blockchain, is expected to be bridged to Base – with DreamNet itself to be primarily run on the Base network.
The Doodles team herald DreamNet as a crucial tool for the future of human and AI co-creation – and holders of their NFTs will be the first to experience it. Holders will gain exclusive access to the DreamNet closed beta, with 30% of the supply of $DOOD reserved for holders – allowing them to get a head-start in DreamNet’s economy.
$DOOD will be the core currency of DreamNet – alongside Universe, Agent and Place tokens. $DOOD can be used to pay for AI content generation, staked to earn other tokens, or can be earned by making contributions to existing narratives.

For Doodles holders, DreamNet looks to increase both the utility and the ultimate value of their assets, alongside giving them priority access to both DreamNet itself and specific perks relating to the $DOOD token.
For non-Doodles holders, there’s still plenty of ways to benefit. Got an idea for a narrative world you’ve been build, and want to see how the wider public can build on it? Or, are you a fan of a particular narrative world, and have the perfect idea for a new character, place or lore event? DreamNet allows you to share these ideas with others, with the potential for lucrative $DOOD rewards should the wider public receive them well.
For developers, the Doodles team are looking to provide tools and documentation to provide access to the data on specific narrative worlds, creating a strong foundation for immersive games, apps and experiences.
Doodles will be used as the first narrative world that users can contribute towards using DreamNet. The goal is to expand this to other popular worlds, before a wider release that could allow public world contributions.
Should DreamNet find support, it could give IP holders and communities alike the tools they need to expand their worlds further, democratising the creative process and challenging the current top-down entertainment landscape.
DreamNet’s potential popularity could also create wider opportunities across Web3. With a leader in NFTs committing to a decentralised, community-driven toolset, other NFT communities could see a demand to follow in their footsteps, helping holders to have a bigger impact on the assets they hold.

DreamNet is an ambitious tool on a scale that we’ve yet to see before – and for many of us, we’re still yet to see it in action.
Should the closed beta test go well – which is available exclusively for Doodles holders – we can anticipate a more public release further down the line, though we’ve yet to receive any indication as to when this might occur.
With DreamNet, Doodles have the idea for a tool that helps to ensure that genuine human creativity is rewarded in a world that is increasingly reliant on AI – and could help storytelling enter an all-new era. Will it be a success? Only time will tell.
