PunksFanatics🔶

The Light Proud to share my configuration of Send/Receive #2393 by @ArtOnBlockchain. A CryptoPunk inspired sprite, a nod to the iconic Punks that started it all, while carrying the same vibe as Snowfro's own PFP, the legend who founded Art Blocks. It also stays true to my roots as PunksFanatics. This piece represents the light so many of us discovered in this space, from the raw origins of CryptoPunks, through the entire NFT journey, to the endless creativity of generative art on Art Blocks. It carries that deep symbolic meaning we experienced upon entering. The discovery, the belief, the clarity, and the profound sense of belonging. The Light exists also as a continuation of a broader exploration that began with 'The Shadow', moving from obscurity toward presence, from absence toward form. It reflects a personal and collective journey, shaped by time, experimentation, and the evolving language of onchain art. A special thank you to Erick Snowfro Calderon and the entire Art Blocks team. Send/Receive gave me the rare opportunity to craft and share my own personal symbol of the light with all of you, forever part of the legendary AB500. Deep gratitude for the collective effort that built this space, continues to inspire and bring us all together. 🔗 artblocks.io/token/0xababab…

RUNNING MOON by @Licia_He Running Moon depicts the nuanced interaction between clouds and moonlight. It is a search for boundaries between structure and fluidity, precision and errors. It is a quest for harmony. Running Moon is now on display until August 16 at the Museum of Light + Art @museumartlight as part of the exhibition EMULATION: Selections from the Art Blocks 500.

@dfinzer @openseafdn Thanks for the update. 🫡

an update on $SEA. the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline. a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands. the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves. we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following: no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last. optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow. honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity. 0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea. product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands. so if not now, wen? when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific. here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move: i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today. the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on. we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.

Happy Fidenza Friday! Fidenza #827 by @tylerxhobbs Before Fidenza became one of the most recognized works in generative art, Hobbs spent years as a software engineer while developing his artistic practice on the side. Fidenza was his breakthrough — the culmination of years attempting to fuse programming with visual works.
