Citizens and Survival

𝖉𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖙𝖆𝖝𝖊𝖘’ by m0dest mints out 6,969 citizens with Transient Labs at 0.0169 ETH each and 117.78 ETH in total. The collection has since seen an additional 38.07 ETH in secondary volume, with list at 0.03 ETH.

The on-chain survival and strategy collection now shifts into gameplay. Each citizen is subject to a daily tax, beginning at 0.00069 ETH and escalating by the same increment each day. Pay voluntarily and advance. Avoid payment and the citizen is subject to audits (and eliminations) via other players and the “Internal Reaper Service”. 93.1% of tax fees go to a treasury that is ultimately split by the final 69 surviving citizens.

Via m0dest:
“the most rewarding part - and one that I did not expect is hearing that people are having fun again.”

Last Selfie Loan

The largest edition loan in history is originated on Gondi.

It is edition of 10 ‘Last Selfie’ by XCOPY generating a $1,000,000 USDC loan at 20% APR over a 180 day term, with an origination fee of $13,315 USDC.

In parallel with the milestone, Gondi introduces Cross Currency support across ETH and USDC for loans, listings, and sales.

Infinite Machine

“Infinite potential on the world computer,” says Ripe.

What began with a ‘TBAM Calibration Plate’ auction settling for 2.4269 ETH to archivist.eth, has continued with the sale of 2,776 ‘To Be a Machine’ editions and counting. During the open edition window, each sale took place at 0.0042 ETH each, and now during the collector controlled phase, settlements escalate by 1.05x.

Upon minting of a token, every Ethereum block generates and streams a new variation of Andy Warhol’s Marilyn to it, infinitely changing. A collector can settle this process once within their token, locking into place a permanent and verifiable frame.

RD Report

Two simultaneous arrivals. M0dest and Ripe created two different things, yet each delivered multi-layered experiences that elicited a strong response.

Is it the on-chain art and mechanics? Is it a desire for surprise, delight, and deeper engagement? It’s worth thinking about. An additional word heard more than a few times across socials: “fun”.
