I found it surprisingly hard to decide which event tokens I'm gonna offer for a chance to get a Fenestra token. I assessed them by rarity, then by which ones I like the most, then I had memories of minting one and how much I liked its moments... argh hard decisions there 🥲

@lifeofc @o8odigitalart That sounds interesting!!!

I’m now at the stage for @o8odigitalart that I need to feed it some data. As I mentioned before, input data on X and then output on a webpage. This means I need to input data by posting live on the timeline. Nothing like building in public!😅 So you will start to see me replying to or quoting posts and tagging @o8odigitalart. This is how you will get it to notice and process information about digital art. Each of my posts or replies will include why I think it’s relevant and also tag any artists that I think it relates to. If you are paying attention, feel free to join in the fun and help me feed my new system data. When there is enough data, then I’ll launch the website and you can see what it is producing.

👨‍🚀 ALWAYS HAS BEEN🔫 REFRESHER🍹 I wanted to give everybody a quick refresher on my latest artwork ALWAYS HAS BEEN. PHASE 1: The Terminal - COMPLETE This was 28 days of an interactive experience where people viewed a simulated reality through aesthetic windows. They unlocked events and captured windows. The key thing to know, this is how the artwork was created. In the end, it was 1784 events contained within 28 windows. PHASE 2: The Collection - NOW IN PROGRESS The Collection is the minting of the 1784 event tokens. It is a blind mint and 652 have been minted so far and the mint is still open. Go here to mint now: alwayshasbeen.xyz/mint This is the key way to support the project today. PHASE 3: The Redemption - EARLY APRIL This has not started yet, but The Redemption phase is where you can offer event tokens for a window token, also called Fenestra tokens. This is the main way you can get a Fenestra token and you must offer the most event tokens to win. Each event is from a specific window and you need to offer event tokens from the window you want to claim. PHASE 4: The Treasury - TBD The Treasury phase is when you can redeem an event token for ETH from The Treasury. 50% of proceeds from the mint and any royalties from secondary go into The Treasury and those who hold an event token can burn them for ETH. PHASE 5: The Relics - Summer 2026 This is the final phase of ALWAYS HAS BEEN and it is the 3 physical pieces that are at the center of the artwork. I’ve been posting early prototypes but the final piece is a sculpture made from Ulexite, often called “TV rock”. I will be sharing more details on this soon. I hope this helps you understand all of the key details on what has happened, what is currently happening and what is going to come with ALWAYS HAS BEEN. This is a multi-month release, so wanted to give everybody some bearings on the project. If there is one thing to take away from this post, go mint an event token right now! alwayshasbeen.xyz/mint

@lifeofc @gypsielou Woaaaaah... That made my weekend. I'll do a massive deep dive in the data!!!

Per the request of @gypsielou and @am_paloni, two of the most active people on The Terminal, here is the full data from all of the ALWAYS HAS BEEN windows for you to browse around. terminal.alwayshasbeen.xyz/stats Thanks to all who helped created this artwork over 28 days!🙏🫡 Minting now at alwayshasbeen.xyz/mint

@lifeofc @gypsielou @dgnsnail @jaytenfwammers @kyrindown This project has been such a joy to explore in the past year... Every time I wanted to escape from day to day routine, I just went and explored events in an alternative universe. Love to see the graph now that monitors my old LST activity...

During the 28 days that The Terminal was open, I built a custom stats viewer to track all of the generation activity. You can see how consistently @am_paloni showed up during the alpha. @gypsielou bursting onto the scene and then @dgnsnail @jaytenfwammers @kyrindown soon after. Thanks to all of you who entered The Terminal. ALWAYS HAS BEEN Minting now at alwayshasbeen.xyz/mint

@gypsielou @lifeofc @dgnsnail @jaytenfwammers @kyrindown Same here... Love a good graph!!!

@lifeofc @am_paloni @dgnsnail @jaytenfwammers @kyrindown The data nerd in me loves this! Can we see more?

I want to give a huge shout out to @0x_brain for being such a huge supporter of ALWAYS HAS BEEN having already minted 25, but then just a moment ago minted 10 more. Thank you so much for believing in this collection. It truly means a lot to me.🙏🥲 alwayshasbeen.xyz/mint

@lifeofc @alwayshasbnxyz It's been suuuch an honor and pleasure to follow you in this (so thank you)!!! Brilliant work and so happy and a bit sad, to see this phase coming to an end. Excited for the next phase though 🙌🙌🙌

@am_paloni @alwayshasbnxyz Me too!!! LST launched in August last year and you've been here for the whole journey! Thank you my friend.🫂

@am_paloni @alwayshasbnxyz Such a good image for this moment

@lifeofc 💙👍👏

My mind went off on a tangent yesterday and I ended up designing a logo for my name. What do you think?

@gypsielou @lifeofc @alwayshasbnxyz Oh it was such a fun window to explore! And I had never seen anything like the terminal before so I felt extremely lucky that I had the time to play with it these early days... but I'm very impressed at your scores as well👏👏 3 number 1s in a row 😍🙌🫡 let's goo

@lifeofc @alwayshasbnxyz I'm impressed by @am_paloni's 100 in Window #1!

Window #22 is open. Only 6 windows left in @alwayshasbnxyz. @gypsielou now takes the 3rd #1 spot in a row for a total of 8! Absolutely impressed and stunned by how much she has dived into The Terminal.

@lifeofc @alwayshasbnxyz Already feel rewarded by taking part in your terminal exploration 🙌🙌 but also, I can't wait to see how the white paper mechanisms will play out!!! You are awesome sir 👏🫡⭐

I am working on preparing for the mint of The Collection for @alwayshasbnxyz in a couple weeks and I’m analyzing all of the data from the windows so far. I must say that I’m proud of this group of early believers, who collectively spent over 140 hours in The Terminal with the top person having spent 32+ hours with an average session time of 80 minutes.. From what I can tell, it is 40% women, 35% people of color, and almost half international. These people are reflective of my values and the community that I want to part of. I appreciate every one of you for showing up. You will be rewarded accordingly. 🙏🫡

Window #20 is open on @alwayshasbnxyz @gypsielou came back strong in Window #19 to take the top spot. Crazy to think the last window is coming up next week!
