DFZ Labs, the parent company of the Deadfellaz NFT collection, has teased that a “smol” new addition is on its way for their ecosystem.
Psych, Director of DFZ Labs, took to the DFZ Labs Discord to share that “something smol is brewing”, alongside a tweet that included a .gif of a full-body Deadfellaz character with changing hairstyles. This follows an image shared on May 17, depicting a similar character with multiple expressions and poses.
Though full details on the nature of this project have yet to be shared, this would mark another addition to the Deadfellaz ecosystem – which has recently seen the debut of their Coldlink tool and Ghost Machine NFT collection, and will soon see the debut of their Death Touch TCG and Wallhugger games.

Deadfellaz is a 10,000-piece zombie-themed NFT avatar collection which debuted on Ethereum in August 2021.
A highly-popular collection during the peak of the NFT market in late 2021, its success led to the foundation of DFZ Labs – a company led by founders Betty and Psych – to build and grow the Deadfellaz brand.
February 2022 saw the debut of Deadfrenz – a 13,000-piece canine-based companion collection to Deadfellaz. This was followed by headline partnerships with names such as Wrangler, Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak, and DraftKings.
2025 has been a big year for Deadfellaz so far. March 2025 saw the introduction of Coldlink – a tool which allows hot wallets, social media handles and other identifiers to be securely used to prove ownership of assets in a cold wallet. June 2025 saw the arrival of Ghost Machine – a 50,000-piece hyper-pop art collection on ApeChain, with all NFTs minted for just $1 USD.
Alongside this “smol” Deadfellaz project, the team are know to be working on Death Touch – an upcoming Web3 trading card game, and Wallhugger – a Roblox-based PvP horror title.

As exact details have yet to be shared regarding this “smol” teaser, it’s left up to the community to theorise on what DFZ Labs are working on.
Combining the May 17 image with this “smol” teaser, it would appear that Deadfellaz are working on some sort of avatar system, where users will be able to customise their own Deadfellaz characters. This could allow holders to use perks from their Deadfellaz or Deadfrenz NFTs on their avatars – similar to Doodles 2 – or allow players to customise their appearance across DFZ Labs upcoming suite of games.
This is all theory-crafting so far. The possibilities are endless – but whatever the end result is, it looks like it will be a boon for the Deadfellaz ecosystem.
