# Phase 2

The Phase 2 (P2) is starting with publishing of this Paper. It is marked with several things being announced at once, the most prominent two being the *Phases 2 of the study (this page) and of Dysmorphia* [*(here).* ](https://thesis-and-dysmorphia.gitbook.io/lab-paper/dysmorphia/nftnomics/phase-2-changes)

Here below the P2 of the **study** is explained and the details about *NFT project's Phase 2* you can find here.

**Why it's called Phase 2?**\
P2 of the study namely exists because on top of all the things that will continue to be monitored from the P1, we're adding a whole spectrum of other research interests which in itself creates a need to divide those 2 phases in our timeline. It is a big add-on which deserves to have it's designated place in the process. 

**Why create Phase 2 in the first place?**\
We want to *research more*. Besides the study of our own project and the one year span it encompasses, we believe there are many other valuable questions of public interest which can be asked - not just to members of one project but to the wider community. The knowledge about those questions can, we believe, help members of the space make more educated decisions.

**What does Phase 2 encompass?**\
With start of P2 we are commencing the collaboration process with other projects and individuals for study purposes. The entities which will be involved in the study will help T\&D in the data gathering process. Data which will be collected include:\
\- descriptive and sentiment data about (and from) founders, moderators, managers, developers, artists and hosts in space\
\- projects specific data (numbers, sentiments, community, holders, wallets)\
\- "general view of the space" data\
\- more *case study* projects

**How will the data be collected?**\
Through surveys, polls, follow-up of engagement numbers and wallet movements.\
