On Kabosu the Doge’s 17th birthday, it was decided that the international Doge community should band together and build a monument for her. Own The Doge worked with The Dogecoin Foundation, NFD, The Doge Pound and Rainbow Wallet to launch a fundraising campaign.
Nearly $100k was raised from Shibes around the world. The Statue Collective engaged Japanese bronze foundry Takenaka Douki to design and manufacture the statue, and over the next 12 months, they worked closely with Atsuko Sato and the Sakura City Council to ensure everyone was happy with this permanent testament to the Doge’s influence and legacy.
Thanks to the support of all donors, and project managers within The Statue Collective, on Kabosu’s 18th birthday, at 4:20 pm, the statue was unveiled on the first-ever International Doge Day.
The statue was scanned and the file is free and open source forever. It can be used by anyone, anywhere.
However, for 6.9 days, you can mint it as an NFT on Zora’s L2.
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Oh

Yeah
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah
Oh, so hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?
Oh care
