Brokered Autoglyphs

Two more 'Autoglyphs' 1/1/512 by Larva Labs have new homes during an intense week for the collection.

'Autoglyph #139' sells for 100 ETH from DANNYSECURE in a deal brokered by Eli Scheinman.

'Autoglyph #378' sells for 100 WETH to ATS_Crypto from OperaMagna-fsft in a deal brokered by Oliver Morris.

Botto Ablaze

The auction of Genesis Period Botto 1/1 'Err Hold' is official as a 76.9 ETH bid from elgrandepenguino meets reserve on SuperRare.

It is a sequel of sorts to a razor thin vote within the Botto community. The vote declined to sell the artwork to Kanbas for 70 ETH after elgrandepenguino placed a 75 ETH open offer to highlight another path for the piece.

The Kanbas proposal lost by 0.38% of vote needed for super majority, and the alternative is now in progress.

It is not the only artwork ending on Friday at 4:00pm ET, as new Botto 1/1 'Alien Gardener Contemplates Earthly Blooms' has a 5 ETH bid and a simultaneous closing time.

RD Report

It is nice to see primary markets in motion, as opposed to solely secondary activity.

Botto looks set to grab the microphone Thursday into Friday, especially if we see an additional bid on 'Err Hold'.

'ULTRASOUND DATA SCULPTURES' is a fun one to explore if you're unfamiliar with that corner of the Refik Anadol universe. It's in the 1/1/X section.

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of (USD) $10k+ Collection, $1k+ 1/1, $2.5k+ 1/1/X, and $1k+ Edition artworks

Under threshold but interesting to me is observing where 'Larva Labs ❤️’s LA' /355 by Larva Labs (part of the mmERCH release) settles. There were 3 sales for 0.2 ETH each, with current list also at 0.2 ETH, so we may be approaching equilibrium.

2025 Subscriber Corner

The twenty-first ART of 2025 (3 weeks!) leans into Sheldrick's Empire release and Hivemind's acquisitions of Light Years by Dmitri Cherniak. Behind-the-scenes Justin Wetch and I debated placement of the ART itself within the constructed scene, landing on an in-between state that we enjoy.
