Gold is familiar. Uranium is becoming better understood. But what about the materials sitting underneath energy, manufacturing, defense, and modern technology? This week on TezTalks Radio, Ben Elvidge joins us to discuss Metals.io, a platform bringing physical commodities like gold, uranium, and strategic metals into a more accessible ownership model. We explore access, custody, redemption, and what it takes to connect real-world materials on modern financial rails like Tezos.

One of the biggest scalability upgrades in Tezos history is nearing the finish line. At the same time, new developer infrastructure is going live and projects like metals are showing how Tezos can modernize real-world markets. We cover all that and more in this week's Baking Sheet. bakingsheet.tezoscommons.org/p/the-baking-s…

"Casa Bonita Psilly Palms" was captured inside the legendary Casa Bonita restaurant in Colorado. Taken during a trip with a best friend, and glitched only through the power of psillyness, it holds the entire state of that moment. A picture that speaks beyond the veiled lens, past the reach of words. It represents the beauty of the unexpected. The purpose of the surprise, when we stop resisting it. The way joy tends to arrive after we let go of what we thought it would look like. For those who know Casa Bonita's place in Cartman's heart, an entirely new layer of nostalgia and dreaminess settles into the image. History, fiction, and a glitched afternoon folding into each other. Minted as part of #proofofpalm2026, an event also organized by our gem of the week, @absurdeity. objkt.com/tokens/KT1MJJe…

This Polaroid captures something humanizing. Addiction. Stress. The quiet weight of managing both. For a species said to have no passions or desires, this cracks a perception built by propaganda. A familiar fictional character and scenario, roots stretched forward. Not nostalgia for its own sake but a doorway into something worth talking about. Using the tools available to carry culture forward, intentionally. “Secret Lives of Vulcans 001 - Henok takes a smoking break” - objkt.com/tokens/KT1MvHV…

Our gem of the week is @absurdeity, the kind of artist and collector who eats, sleeps, and breathes the arts. With over 400 mints on Tezos and an astonishing collection of over 20k, there is a wealth of experiences to tap into, learn from, and get inspired by. In this space, those who collect rarely get to talk about what they make, so this gem thread is dedicated to spotlighting art by Absurdeity. Enjoy and tune into Artz Friday for more.

Rare. Earth. Metals. @metalsofficial

What makes Tezos different? Continuous evolution. The network keeps upgrading, improving, and adapting without the disruption of hard forks. Years later, that design decision still looks incredibly powerful. #Tezos #XTZ #TezosX

@GranCube Memes are forever.

July 1st is the anniversary of the launch of Tezos. I eat tacos 🌮 every year on this anniversary. I can't wait😁 $XTZ #TezosX

This week we chat with @absurdeity, who navigates the art world without a compass, offering an artsy perspective worth hearing. A celebrated collector who makes glitch and AI-assisted art to support his own collecting habit. Join us this Friday. x.com/i/spaces/1qGoN…

Where it all began... if you attended this event, you're a Tezos OG.

Catch @BenElvidge from @metalsofficial at an exclusive breakfast in Berlin during @SuperReturn. Ben will deliver insights on the panel titled "On-Chain Yield: Who's Actually Making Money?" alongside industry leaders from 9:05 AM CEST.

This week on Tuesday Tezday, we’re opening up the room for a community call. We’ll talk Tezos, Etherlink, Tezos X, art, games, builders, and the updates people think deserve more attention. Bring your thoughts and questions. Tuesday Tezday, this Tuesday. x.com/i/spaces/1yJAP…

@tezos gm, let's get it sir.

gm ☕️ another day building, creating, collecting.

Here are the links to each of the artworks featured in Friday's gem thread: Paradise Lost: objkt.com/tokens/KT1NQNM… Un Ange Passe: objkt.com/tokens/KT1SCoa… SEED Dreams...: objkt.com/tokens/KT1DXPf…

"SEED dreams ON a daTA river++++++++iTs ALL gOIng TO BE OK." is a looping GIF built around two elements: the flowing river and the seed of life. The seeds are shaped like eyes, yet carry only spectral light. Same as the river. Because it is all data. Data in the form of light, traveling until the energy manifests as whatever it is meant to be. We are a result of that. The piece reminds us that everything is as it should be. So drop the worries and come get Artz with @august3570182. x.com/TezosCommons/s…

Our gem of the week is @August35750182, an NFT aficionado who balances being both an artist and a collector. Today we focus on August's art, often mixed-media work full of nuance worth diving into. Enjoy the thread, and join us for Artz Friday to get the weekend creativity flowing. At the recent ProofOfPalm event, August minted Paradise Lost (Redux): Palm Trees in The "Hands of God." The piece weaves real audio of a nuclear detonation with clips of President Truman speaking in 1945. It's an ongoing exploration in glitching and layering video and audio. August uses art to spread information that matters, and this is one we'll surely dissect during Artz Friday.

The strongest ecosystems aren't built by upgrades alone. They're built by people who keep showing up. This week we're highlighting a community-built analytics platform, the people behind TTC, and the spaces helping people in Tezos stay connected. bakingsheet.tezoscommons.org/p/the-baking-s…
