Dark Skellies:
Dark Skellies was born from the merge of two rugged communities: SkelliesDAO and Dark Warlocks. Following their successful derug, they needed to establish new revenue streams in order to keep the project sustainable outside secondary sales royalties. Marrow Labs was born, your one-stop solution for developer work. Formed by the core developer team from Dark Skellies they aim to provide affordable web3 development services.

Marrow Labs:
Marrow labs is a business that sets up anything built on Solana from Candy machines, Mint sites, raffles and staking sites. Everything they provide is fully custom and built around your needs. They also provide custom storefronts that can make transactions for any product using an SPL token, SOL, or USDC. They can also pair this with our RPC node service, so you are able to get a custom UI where users can connect their wallet and purchase a node that we provide using your SPL token providing more utility for it.

Pros:
This project is a team of Dev’s which is usually the most expensive part of bringing utilities to a project. They also have 2 people on the team with a sales and marketing background.
I find this to be a bit of a community project with a calendar of weekly events for everyone to have a bit of fun. And being a successful de-rug I find the community to have more of an emotional connection to their NFT’s.
They have been building this project through the bear market and have delivered some top tier apps.
Cons:
The price of $marrow $0.001 (at the time of writing this) is really cheap so getting a ROI through staking and selling the token isn’t realistic at these prices.
Information is quite hard to piece together for this project so may put people off in investing as it can seem unorganised.
General Thoughts:
I think the team are great builders some of their sites are top quality and I don’t doubt they could build anything on Solana. If they can bridge what they are doing and building into more benefits for NFT holders like buying back $marrow with profits to try and help sustain the price that will help a lot. I think they are at a pivotal point where they have enough utility for holders and a steady income stream for the project they just really need to funnel that into the NFT holders and i can see this project doing well.
