Samurai Sea Sellout
‘X FIGURES AMADON’ by Nuclear Samurai swiftly sells out with OpenSea.
The 300 piece collection sells out for 0.018 ETH each and has now seen 9.49 ETH of total volume, with current list at 0.06 ETH. Unique artwork reveal for collectors is a few days away.
It follows the June 2025 release of the 404 piece ‘X FIGURES’ collection, re-imagining XCOPY artworks as digital figures. ‘X FIGURES AMADON’ continues the tradition of emphasizing CC0 artwork, this time that of artist Patrick Amadon.
Via Amadon:
“Congrats to Nuke on the sellout and beautifully executed collection! One of the best uses of CC0 I’ve seen. His success couldn’t have happened to a nicer human as well. Happy for him.”

RD Report
Check this effort out from Yon Visuals. In advance of the 24 Hours 2026 Subscription mint conclusion (tomorrow at noon ET), he built a live, real-time visualizer of our network (that likely includes you!) Not only that, but he flexed his own artistry, re-imagining the ART as an “endlessly looping, swirling form”. An interactive, dynamic network sculpture provides such an engaging window into what 24 Hours represents. He nailed the heart of it. Thank you, Yon.
Weekend Reading:
‘Curator of Mystery: Outrunyouth’s Liminal Dream Logic’ by Justin Wetch. The 29th installment in the Weekly Dose of ART series.
