# Making Lil Frens

As true Polygon enthusiasts, we are supporting development on the Polygon zkEVM frontier. It is a perfect first deployment as the Aavegotchi project calls the current Polygon PoS home. We have observed the NFT community on zkEVM in it's earliest days. As humble pioneers ourselves, it is a natural fit for our first Lil Frens to launch.

Our official minting widget can be found below. Then we will be working to get listed/verified on Tofu NFT Marketplace and more as they arrive. Not much on zkEVM yet these days. That'll change though.

## Our First Lil Fren

It is our honor to announce our launching feature artist: **Kravitch**. We've known Kravitch over two years now and have witnessed his continuous improvement first hand. His mastery of pixel art gained quick attention in the Gotchigang and we are lucky to have him as such a gud fren. He is definitely GMI and we cannot wait to showcase his talent.

Kraavs is a self-taught artist whose work spans across various mediums, from digital art to IRL crafts and photography. He discovered a passion for pixel art when he created his first ever [FAKEgotchi](https://www.fakegotchis.com/) piece, entitled “[Are Ya Channeling, Son?](https://www.fakegotchis.com/explore/8749)”. As a fan of retro RPG games, pixel art felt like a natural fit for him. His work focuses primarily on slice of life scenes, recreation of movie scenes, and creating lore characters, which he brings to life with charming animation. He is on X, [@krvtch](https://twitter.com/krvtch), and Discord, @kraavs if you wanna learn more about him and his artwork.

## How Many will there be?

We are doing this collection in reverse from typical fashion. We are starting with small batch numbers and expanding outward. Instead of a usual 10k pfp avatar drop, our Lil Frens have real obligations to fulfill. Not only do they have to consistently prevent bad vibes with dangerous levels of cuteness, they act as an exploration pass into the Aavegotchi Ecosystem on the Polygon PoS mainnet.

With that in mind, we have to carefully balance the amount of Lil Frens that can exist against the amount of resources available through the GMIfrens Network. We will work hard to grow our power as an organization and always add more resources so we can make moar Lil Frens. But this will be a Power Circle, not an ocean.

***Lil Fren Series 1 is 420 editions launched on the Polygon zkEVM mainnet for .00333 eth each.***&#x20;
