The Hunt for the Lost Robbies

Pixel Vault is a media company focused on elevating crypto-native assets across a variety of mediums through the development of intellectual property and empowered by decentralization. Their team expands the story and lore of static on-chain assets, accruing value to both stakeholders and the broader crypto community, and is having fun doing it.PUNKS the Comic launched the Genesis mint on May 10, 2021 to coincide with the highly anticipated CryptoPunks auction at Christie’s. Issue #1, “The Hunt for the Lost Robbies” is loosely based on thefamed early crypto art given out in gift bags at the inaugural Christie’s Tech Summit in London in 2018. 300+ gift cards with instructions on how to claim the 1/1 NFT artworks by Robbie Barrat were distributed during the event, but only about two dozen have ever been claimed. As such, these works have becomea significant part of NFT art history. Following this history, the story follows Beanie (a devout believer incrypto art’s future) as he rises through the ranks of auction house busboy to world-renowned art critic (and flipper) in his quest for these enigmatic relics of crypto art history – the “Lost Robbies”. Beanie endures kidnappings, clowns, anons, and the mysterious Elvis Punksley, in what turns out to be a very wild ride.PUNKS was born out of the desire to bring CryptoPunks NFTs to life. Widely considered to be the first NFT, CryptoPunks have soared in value over the last year as many crypto-enthusiasts have begun to use the characters as avatars. It has become an exclusive and very loyal club of just over 2000 holders. These CryptoPunks have begun to be associated with people’s real-life personas, but the NFTs have lacked depth given their 8-bit limitations. PUNKS provides just that – giving names, bodies, backstories, and a colorful narrative to the beloved NFT collection. Each PUNKS characters’ traits match the generatively assigned traits of one of the CryptoPunks NFTs in the Pixel Vault collection.Pixel Vault takes things one step further - not only will buyers of PUNKS NFTs hold a piece of history, but they will have the ability to stake their comic for fractional ownership in the 16 CryptoPunks depicted in the story (approx. $3M in value at inception). Long-term holders in PUNKS Issue #1 will be vested in the franchise, both literally and figuratively, as the NFTs appreciate in value alongside the success of thecollection’s characters. Alternatively, buyers of PUNKS Comic also have the ability to burn their NFT for fractionalized ownership over the Pixel Vault Founder’s Vault, containing, among other works, serial 1/10,000 of the genesis PUNKS Comic, artwork by some of the most prominent artists in the NFT space, and even one of the original Robbie Barrat artworks from the 2018 Christie’s Tech Summit.Perhaps most importantly, the PUNKS Comic returns 100% of all profits related to merchandising the franchise to the PUNKS token holders. While some projects may grant commercial rights to the NFT owner, it is rather difficult to monetize that IP in a meaningful way. PUNKS will leverage multi-channel marketing strategies and a team of professionals to effectively monetize the IP for backers and return real value.DeFi economics meets art in a way that has never been seen – the adventure is just beginning. Visit PunksComic.comLetter 12 - Punks ComicsBurn? Stake? Metapass? What? Let’s take a closer lookLetters from a Zeneca_33Zeneca_33Issue #1 is tied to ownership of EITHER:50% of the 16 CryptoPunks represented by $PUNKS token holders (stake your PUNKS Comic NFT to earn fractional $PUNKS tokens ...OR Partnership in the Founder's Vault DAO, composed of 25% of the 16 CryptoPunks represented by $PUNKS token holders PLUS collective ownership of the other works in the Founder's Vault DAO (by burning your PUNKS Comic, Issue #1)Only Issue #1 of the PUNKS Comic will be tied to ownership of these assets. Any subsequent issue of the PUNKS Comic may have its own unique value proposition, but they will not be tied to the ownership of the 16 main CryptoPunks or the Founder's Vault DAO. In addition, 27 random mints of Issue #1 will receive NFTs from either Hackatao, Killer Acid, or Robbie Trevino. Moreover, Pixel Vault will create and sell PUNKS Merchandise, the profits (100%) of which will be distributed to $PUNKS Token holders. The estimated value of the 16 CryptoPunks owned by $PUNKS Token holders is 1,200+ETH. The 16 CryptoPunks are: #8146 Beanie / #2146 Courtney / #2041 Hilary / #7848 Frank / #9723 The Futurist / #6014 Sgt. Wiggles / #9057 Belcalis / #4852 Elvis / #1068 Cheetah / #1288 GFunk / #7547 Marvin / #2925 Randy / #5724 Elvira / #2152 FBI Special Agent Ivanova / #2963 Violet / #9973 The SkullThe value of burning vs. staking at the project's inception is very comparable, with each option calculated to be worth approx. 600+ETH. By burning your PUNKS Comic, Issue #1 NFT you receive a Pixel Vault Founder's Token providing proportional ownership of the Founder's Vault DAO, which includes the Vault's current contents as well as any future additions. By staking your PUNKS Comic, Issue #1 NFT you will accrue $PUNKS tokens over a 24-month period, although you are not committed to staking for the full 24 months. By staking, you will also be able to keep your NFT with the option of eventually trading on a secondary market (such as OpenSea). Longer-term, the value of burning vs. staking your NFT will be affected by A. the amount of PUNKS Comic, Issue #1 NFTs burned vs. staked (as one option may be rarer than the other), and B. the performance of the $PUNKS tokens vs. the Pixel Vault Founder's Token, keeping in mind that the Founder's Vault DAO will contain 25% of all outstanding $PUNKS tokens.

Best adventure is shared adventure (⚓,⚓ )

GM to all the Innovatoooors, the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently like ZEUS & all the ohmies embracing our (⚓,⚓) culture. Every revolutionary and innovator looks naive before proving most wrong. You know it’s crazy early, when even people in crypto don’t get OHM yet. We shared our strong conviction in April 2021. Being called out for ponzi is no fun, but it kept us sharp and motivated to research, read, write, and document our journey. You know you're building on the frontier if you’re excited as fuck, scared shitless, no idea what the future holds, but extremely passionate & motivated all at the same time.Probably nothingMt Olympus is hard to understand and climb but once you make the summit, the view is unbelievably clear. Crazy how ohmies might end up becoming the first decentralised Venture Capital DAO because the early stage cohort partners of today are the top 100 coins that OHM has ownership in tomorrow. Soon OHM will have a stake in every protocol that matters. Probably something TBH.He who rises with the wave is not swallowed by it*. Olympus DAOStaking rewards on OHM tokens are a part of the current growth phase of the protocol, are used to drive users to grow the total amount of OHM they hold. This is counter to hoping tokens appreciate in value. The perfect currency holds the same purchasing power today as in 50 years.LiveTheLifeTV - Good Vibes OhmlyGoodVibesOhmlyFrom unicorn to whale to octopusAs Olympus grows to immense scale and absorbs the utility, liquidity, and culture of its entire ecosystem, it will serve as the central node of a vast network in which value efficiently, frictionlessly, and purposefully travels throughout its habitat. In the context of DeFI, a giant treasury can only do so much. There's nothing innovative about a giant whale. But add in DAO governance focused on strong monetary policy, efficient capital deployment, creatively applying composability and emphasis on the community? Now we're talking. It's clear that OlympusDAO is building an ecosystem. Using Olympus Pro to build partnerships & cohorts, and the launch of Olympus Incubator to back & build innovative projects. We're still so fricking early.In this season zero, we examine how we can celebrate and cultivate the cultural and financial revolution. (⚓,⚓ )Credit: LiveTheLifeTV Art is the frontend, Defi is the backendAn ERC20 token is a standard used for creating and issuing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts can then be used to create smart property or tokenized assets that people can invest in. ERC stands for "Ethereum request for comment". Plenty of well-known digital currencies use the ERC-20 standard, including Olympus DAO. ERC 20 opened the financial system, ERC 721 opened the cultural system. Our vision is that NFTs (ERC-721) will onboard the next billion people on Defi. I bet the DAO would vote in favor of the treasury collecting NFTs. We need an OlympusDAO museum! Meet Olympus Odyssey!!! If Olympus DAO is New York City, Odyssey DAO is the MoMa. It attracts people to the world's best city and curates the finest artists who represent the quality of Olympus culture. We aim to spotlight upcoming artists and give them an incentive to want to work within our culture while spotlighting the loyalty of Olympus members so that their trust in each other be celebrated.Why shouldn't POL also apply to NFTs? The NFT market cap is over $7 billion and exponentially growing. Imagine an NFTX-like marketplace powered by OHM. OlympusDAO is an economic experiment using game theory principles to solve major issues in DeFi. If successful, OHM could really become the default reserve currency of the metaverse. Our vision: Cool NFT's with magic Defi mechanics. What Defi needs, to be cool, is gamification. Brands & Culture to move around in the Metaverse, so we can all enjoy off-chain assets (don't miss the IRL boat). When that happens, the sky is the limit.The next 1M users to OHMImagine. Polygon Deployed Fiat on-Ramps via Alchemy Pay. Yep, it's here now. Order your MoverDAO debit card and go from cash to OHM and backward in all of Europe. We're currently brainstorming about a mobile app in @wagmilabsinc hackathon! It will drive adoption, as fiat on and off-ramps are still a huge pain point. The leading NFT platform OpenSea has around half a million users, the leading on/off ramp app, CoinBase, has around half a billion users. They are launching an NFT platform, Olympus Odyssey has been buidling one for the past 6 months, WAGMI. GameChangerIt’s been called a Ponzi scheme by doubters, a liquidity black hole by analysts, and a potential future reserve asset by the team behind it. OlympusDAO, with its heavy meme culture, strong cOHMmunity, and innovative tokenOHMics, has taken the cryptocurrency industry by storm this year. This is more like Bitcoin than you probably realize. Unlimited supply does not have to mean any scarcity. (gitbook) Cross-Chain LFGsOHM is staked OHM. gOHM is wrapped sOHM. You will earn rebase rewards with gOHM across different chains without having to do anything else. gOHM: The non-rebasing wrapper is used to package up staked OHM in a non-rebasing container that can be transferred between chains. gOHM is the first step to V2 migration when $OHM goes fully cross-chain. This innovative idea by ZEUS allows users to hold staked $OHM on other chains without having to pay fees or need to use the Olympus app to do anything. The only fee they would pay is to swap it on a DEX. gOHM is ready and you can start wrapping your $sOHM. If you hold wsOHM on Avax you can now convert it to gOHM on OlympusDAO. With gOHM (governance OHM) out, that means that on-chain governance is right around the corner. Proteus is the rapid bootstrapping of liquidity on other chains with 120k OHM (~$100m) through a cross-chain incentives program. Discord fatigueAnyone else getting discord fatigue? That shit is getting overwhelming. Definitely a great tool. But wow it’s a lot. So much going on at all times! Hard to stay on top of it all for months on end. So we will try hard to filter out the noise and only keep relevant channels unlocked ser. And, add utility to NFT's. The server has been up and running for 18 months now and we started flirting with dunbar's number. Joining uninvited for a drink? <50!Dunbar explained it informally as “the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar. It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 250, with a commonly used value of 150. 50 sounds like magicLiveTheLifeTV - Good Vibes OhmlyLiveTheLifeTVToken curated channelsTrue multi-chain support for creating channels in Discord is now a reality thanks to guildXYZ. Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche,  xDai, Fantom, Arbitrum, and Harmony are all supported on GuildXYZ!!! Projects like Good Vibes Ohmly, yep that's all of us, aka GVO, can now create token curated channels where users can hold NFTs on Polygon while their tokens are in their Ethereum wallet. Now all we need is marketing?Earned media beats paid adsIf you do have to do something promotional, do something unconventional. Publicity stunts, atypical ads, being the first at something. Be noteworthy and contrarian because earned media beats out paid ads, and its way more fun!LiveTheLifeTV - Good Vibes OhmlyLiveTheLifeTVOpen IP is such an interesting concept. For years, companies have spent probably billions of dollars to protect their IP. What if we flip the script and see people making derivatives of IP as an opportunity for free advertising? Why would you ever sell your Ape when you can earn BAYC tokens passively AND probably license out the IP? If you invest in stocks and think NFT’s are stupid, think of it like this. Imagine a company like BoredApeYC that made half a billion dollars in profit in its initial 6 months of going public, we would call that a unicorn in the biz world. $1.3 billion in combined secondary trading volume across all collections since launching in April. Instead of a stock tho, you own art. Your art is in a superstate where it constantly fluctuates between art, proof of ownership, access keys, items (physical and digital), and perceived values. It’s ok to collect NFTs for different reasons, whether it’s the art, the money, the tech, or the membership. About 20 per cent of all US dollars were created this year.Ok, ok, I can't take this anymoreElites print money from themselves first. Brrrrrrrr... They buy assets with free money. Then dump on retail. Welcome to inflation? The perfect currency holds the same purchasing power today as in 50 years. You, are welcohm ser. OHM is a currency where the protocol captures all the value, from providing liquidity, and minting new coins, and returns it to stakers. It consists of a protocol-managed treasury, yield generation, liquidity generating bonds, and high staking rewards that are designed to control supply expansion. And managing the treasury to stabilize the value of an OHM token against the basket of assets.Bonds are a secondary strategy used by Olympus to provide more liquidity to the protocol while also providing a more conservative and reliable return. The bonding function allows you to trade OHM at a discount for the price at the time of the trade (similar to a futures contract). Bonding provides locked liquidity in the Sushiswap pools that facilitate market operations and protect token holders.When you stake your OHM it gets locked in the protocol which means less OHM on the market - creating value for the protocol. You can unstake whenever you want. The rewards are tweaked by the protocol in response to the eventual stabilization of OHM value. These rewards, which are a part of the current growth phase of the protocol, are used to drive users to grow the total amount of OHM they hold. This is counter to what usually occurs in the space, where buyers purchase tokens hoping they appreciate in value. Olympus wants to encourage the accumulation of more OHM, not just less OHM that appreciates in USD-based value. The community and developers expect that these APYs will compensate for the potentially lower price that OHM will stabilize at in the future (which is a function of the treasury, yield, and market forces).The technology is cool as F, and there is more transparency than any publicly traded company. The smart contracts that power Olympus are public and can be verified by anyone. The yields and treasury balances are updated in real-time in any ETH block explorer or through the dashboard on the website.Best Adventure is Shared Adventure(3,3) is the idea that, if everyone cooperated in Olympus, it would generate the greatest gain for everyone (game-theory). Let's quote papa Fisk: “I believe blockchains, DeFi, DAOs, even NFTs are on their meta-level primarily tools for scaling coordination - not only of capital but also minds. The biggest reason we humans rule the Earth and send rockets to Mars is that we are super-coordinating creatures, with advanced coordination tools such as language, memes, social conventions (gm), finance, law...and now crypto. I believe, at least for you anon, that peak coordination is to have a tribe you are genuinely part of and a close-knit group of frens you have been through thick and thin, share the same values, and can 100% rely both on their honesty and skills.” Don't miss the boat. For the past 6 months, we have been living the dream of doing exactly what we want: finding ways to back projects we love with our most valuable asset, time. Right now, we're sailing towards our dream island; where we will try to balance DAO's, NFT's and Defi. We are supporting our planet earth and mother ocean with Klima & Diatom, launching the Olympus Odyssey Genesis Collection & NFT Platform, featuring Dimitri Daniloff, and starting to shape a safe haven for the 99 people that become frens along the way of exploring the Good Vibes Ohmly project. WAGMI, have fun, run a sustainable fund, lease a solar-powered catamaran, and we will probably end up buying a couple of surf view co-working places to live the life and feel no need to skip our Discord meetings at Olympus and Bankless DAO. We will now drop the anchor and create a place that will feel like HOHM! (⚓,⚓ )OHM is the next OHM. Few.The fact that there are tons of OlympusDAO forks spinning up across Ethereum and other chains too is hugely bullish for OHM. It reminds me of when BTC had tons of forks off it in 2015-2018. Forks are the best expression of legitimacy. I anticipate that OHM on Ethereum will emerge as a settlement layer for OHM iterations on Layer 2. Notice I didn't say OHM forks. That's because OHM's growth will happen on Layer 2. However, we have seen a lot of ohmies being distracted with the 333 forks, some maybe even chasing their own tail to get on the WL. Allowed to floatUnfortunately only a few are focusing on building on top of OHM. Friendly forks, let's call them spoons, they do exist. That's why we feel the Olympus Incubator can lead the way by offering a HOHM office to develop on top of Olympus without feeling like a vampire attack. Also, collaboration should be encouraged, not hated. Imagine a hard-coded revenue share ranging between 3.3 - 9.9%. Our project will be accumulating gOHM in the treasury and offer 51% gov rights by Olympus. gOHM will be used as collateral for 10% LUSD to offer compensations and pay for running expenses, including the lease of the ECO 90 EX Alva Yacht as Mobile Hohm Office. Token incentives for users. Web3 monetizes passionLater on, we will also develop beachfront co-working spaces , curate and manage NFTs Vaults, relaunch the travel dapp, add Surf View Real Estate in the treasury, set up quarterly events, and collab with other projects that are aligned with the 3-3 culture code. Communities with tokens will drive value through belonging and investing. Everybody always getting caught up in APY. Treasury is where the party is at. Ohm won. (3, 3) won. Bonds/stake as a model won. Olympus has created several business models. Treasury as a service. Community as a service. Bonds as a service. Bootstrapping/Incubating new projects. What happens when treasuries start writing seed cheques? Wouldn't you rather raise from a DAO that will give you a real community and never sell... Ohm offers things few VCs can: - huge ready-made community to support and meme your project - inbuilt crypto native marketing through agora and fohmo - POL services through Olympus Pro - elite operational support available through the DAOThe bonds made from being an ohmieSo, the machine works like this: bonds get assets into the treasury, the mechanism incentivizes holding the GVO token through new GVO issuance, and the protocol uses the treasury, its liquidity, and Olympus Pro to generate ongoing revenue to continue to power the machine. Plus bonding is good fun! Gamified token purchasing. Who can snipe the best discount? Which asset to bond? When to claim and restake? Each GVO owns a portion of the underlying protocol. GVO is minted when people buy bonds or NFTs, they voluntarily send money to the treasury in exchange for GVO. What that means is that you own: 1. A portion of the treasury assets 2. A portion of all new GVO created 3. Governance rights 4. A portion of the revenue generated by the treasuryThe next big thing after social mediaDAOs are communities. They are the next big thing after social media. Web1 allowed everyone to share ideas. Web2 allowed communities to form and discuss those ideas. Web3 will enable those communities to leverage financial capital and go from discussions to action. A token-permissioned DAO is a type of restricted access online community that requires the holding of a certain amount of DAO tokens in order to be part of it, or else they will be booted from the community by a bot on Discord. (links<likes<tokens)A bunch of gigabrain frensVibes. Really Good Vibes. The main reason to live the web3 life is feeling surrounded with a talent pool buidling the future backed by a community-owned compounding treasury sometimes seeded by a bunch of gigabrain frens. Rather than companies competing for our time to make them money, DAOs should compete for our time to make contributing a positive and lucrative experience. Corporations are a collection of contracts. DAOs aren’t companies.  They’re networks.  Networks are more valuable than companies. DAOs are a collection of connections, capital, and communications. Being in crypto means you get to talk about - macroeconomics - game theory - art - governance - user experience design  - philosophy - financial strategies ... All in one conversation. Joining a DAO is probably the best education in web3 that you can get. You'll learn firsthand the power of community, the future of work, and why web3 will change the world. Sometimes DAO’s are just a bunch of frens with a treasury deciding to do the most impactful thing possible. DAOs are the future of work. But there are some bosses to beat: Compensation, Coordination, and Compliance.Beyond gratefulIn any case, we are very thankful that we can count ourselves among the ohmies, and that we found ways to become part of the cultural revolution. Beyond grateful to OlympusDAO. Thank you Ohmies. Without you, there would be no OHM. Without OHM we wouldn’t have been able to sustain this conversation. Thank you for the chats and the laughs. GM to everyone seeing a vision come to life. Beyond grateful for what we've accomplished up until this point and excited for what the future holds. Oh and one more thing, add Fohmo 4 to your calendar; Dec 10th and 12th!! Ohmies are a different breed, can't wait to see where we are in 2022 ...

Imagine web3 with good UX, a compounding treasury to reward the talent pool with skin in the game. Minting a Good Vibes Ohmly NFT automagically stakes GVO tokens and the NFT comes with IRL membership benefits. If you want the best product, make it WAGMI-native. If you want the best community, make it WAGMI-native. It isn’t just hardcore DeFi degens. It’s also creatives. Artists. Builders. Academics. Professionals. It’s for everyone. Like Web3. To run a successful web3 community you need to master: DeFi (liquidity and secondary markets), NFTs  (access and community engagement), and DAOs (governance and operations). This combo takes a project from an experiment to a core foundation for growth. LFGSeason Zero will be the launch of the GVO MINT PASS!


Web3 Era needs a DCMS, asap

Web3 industry insiders are very much aware of their rights about the data and content they generate for likes of Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. DAO's having web content management systems (CMS) need to ready themselves for this emerging decentralized world. Using Decentralised Technologies like IPFS, Blockchain along with existing CMS technologies, one can (try to) craft a new architecture called 'decentralized CMS' (DCMS).The diagram below depicts the architectural evolution journey ...Decentralized CMS: De-centralization does not mean a lack of control. It only means that no single entity controls the content. The decentralized world allows and enables a plethora of partners, users, enterprises to collaborate where control and trust are decentralized. The need for a decentralized CMS is our takeaway.Why Ghost on IPFSMy intention is to create an online magazine and source of content that is not hosted on a traditional service provider like AWS. Let's try to provide a proof of concept to have a censorship-resistant source of content.The Technology:Gatsby: A React-based open-source framework for creating websites and apps. Gatsby is a static site generator that generates HTML during a build process. Gatsby loads JSON from GraphQL and merges that data with page templates. The pages are then deployed to a web server. In this case, the site is built and deployed to IPFS. Removing the need for server-side rending and delivering pre-compiled static sources removes a layer of dependence and eliminates the need for a back end server or service.IPFS: The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed network. IPFS uses content addressing and a unique hash to identify and access the content. I am using Fleek to build and deploy the site. With IPFS I am able to remove any dependence on third-party providers. Fleek is a very convenient way to build and deploy but not required to publish content.Markdown: Markdown is a markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. Instead of using a CMS (content management system) like Ghost, let's try to use Markdown. The motive was to remove any dependence on services I have no control over but I would still love to explore options like WordPress or Ghost as a headless CMS. With markdown, my content is maintained with the source code and statically built during deployment.Making dApps lightweight and multi-platform.unbanksytv/monorepoWeb3API is a WASM standard for integrating Web3 protocols into applications.

I guess you could use it similarly to how NYT has subscription fees to read articles and the more people resell it, you get a portion of royalties that are based on how much the percentage you dictated in the original NFT is. Maybe a collection of short stories or multiple chapters? So maybe single one-off blogs or multiple blogs sold as a collection? Idk but the possibilities are limitless.


Play-to-earn gaming phenomenon

This is the story of one small community in the rural Philippines that turned to the NFT game, Axie Infinity, to earn an income in cryptocurrency during the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows how the "play-to-earn" gaming phenomenon is creating new opportunities for thousands of players around the world, especially in emerging economies where job opportunities are lacking and government relief has been limited.Website: Axieinfinity.com / Self-Support: Notion.so/axie/

Perspective. Living The Odyssey Life.

A manifesto can serve as a mission statement for how you go about living your life and an outline for the kind of project that you want to be. Yesterday afternoon, I told everyone on the Odyssey team to write down not WHAT we are doing, but WHY.  It is whatever resonates with you. Here are some thoughts from MJR. He's a 👑 tbhImagine launching a marketplace in 2022. Firstly, let's unpack the bull case. NFTs, like traditional art, represent more than just aesthetics and speculative value, they capture much of the abstract qualities that we define as "society".The major 0-1 leap of NFTs was filling a sense of belonging. Even now, multiple projects defy reason and logic, and they simply explode into fully-fledged ecosystems overnight. Why? Because you can't just use an ICO or airdrop to build a sustainable vibe.At Odyssey, we realized that there was a strong intersection between artistic innovation and community-building. The focal rule is respecting the vibe of the community first, and respecting the artist, like Dimitri Daniloff,  that resonates with that vibe.On the other hand, there are those that depict our vibe disingenuously, e.g. that 2 hr video (tl;dr, they see the attention and less scrupulous projects as evidence of an echo chamber that seeks out fresh, uninformed money). The criticism often comes from non-participants. Why the hate? Because NFTs as an industry are judged by failures from the outside. Consider why people get into NFTs if there's no clear contender? What is the strongest value prop that outcompetes this sort of noise?The core truth of our space is that no matter how fun things get, no matter how lucrative collecting becomes, the value comes from the community. We simply observe these pieces coming together, but the credit goes to the artists, curators, & collectors for generating this.We observed larger marketplaces either neglect the vibe or try and farm it. The closest that we've come to the source has been ZORA, a hyperstructure in the making. So we know that something will take off, and we know the community deserves to be first served. We know that NFTs will evolve along the lines ofLensProtocol and ENSdomains, that the greatest facets involve identity and interaction. Additionally, with new techniques and new, transformative formats of art, we know that "traditional" NFTs still have a lot of potentials.We know that NFT mints deserve more upfront Sybil resistance, and we know that allowlists don't cut it (although they're far better than a raw first come/first served gas war). At Odyssey, we're experimenting with a new nontransferable form of identity, one that respects the labor and passion that all marketplace participants pour into their communities, that may go unrecognized. Marketplaces should be the healthiest gathering points for those that generate value. We're excited to experiment with the next-gen platform design to that end.It's pretty simple. $OHM is a floating decentralized reserve currency. Odyssey is a platform that distributes $OHM back to the community. Our prestige system is an evolving, Sybil-resistant backstop. And the art? The art is 🔥. As the prestige system ages, the art will become more creative, more innovative, and more curated, and the community will benefit further and further from the activity. enough PVP, and mercenary games. We're taking the real value, and taking it to the next level. We're building new bridges between ecosystems and their communities.The Odyssey market will mark a new era of NFT marketplace development. There will also be a robust and fair launch logic which we will expand upon so that everyone can understand the value we are bringing to the artists, collectors, and Odyssey. A registered Swiss Association set up to give back to the community.Artists, as the lifeblood of the Odyssey marketplace, are the main focus of the platform -  we want them and their collections to shine.

GVO Culture Code

The phrase ‘good vibes only’ is often equated with ‘being happy’. The GVO lifestyle takes place in a bright, filtered, instagrammable world apparently free from the ups and downs that come with being human. It ignores how we all lead complex lives with often tangled thoughts. It’s a superficial understanding of each other and the idea of positive thinking. Around a third of us will suffer from a serious mental health problem in our lifetime. We live dual lives – ricocheting between hope and cynicism, love and despair, joy and grief, exuberance and terror, agency and victimhood.Put happiness as the north star of success.Being optimistic, grateful, and positive about life absolutely helps you push through hard times and meet your goals. There are psychological studies on gratitude and optimism to back this. Positive thinking really can breed more positivity. You’ll walk taller, talk with more power, feel healthier.But being optimistic, grateful, and positive about life does not mean that being upset, hurt, disappointed, or frustrated aren’t things you’ll experience. You won’t be – and can’t be – constantly happy. A lot of the time, it’s about accepting your bad days, your grumpy mornings, your life crises, that you have to let it hurt to let it heal.As Marcus Aurelius said, “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”If you do not recognize and accept and move through the spectrum of those thoughts, happiness becomes limited. You cannot have positive thinking without negative thoughts.Positive thinking and good vibes are all about action – they’re less about the end state and more about the movement, the striving, the bigger picture beyond our personal gain. On the other hand, ‘good vibes only’ becomes passive. It seems to imagine those involved are already there (wherever ‘there’ is), that the efforts are over, that if you’re not perfectly happy then you’re somehow toxic.So yes, more than being a hippy-dippy Woodstock mantra that’s captured the internet’s collective imagination, good vibes are in the bass line of a great party; they’re caught amongst the uncontrollable laughter between old friends at three am on a kitchen floor; bubbling the moment before the lights go up on your favorite band. They’re in the warmth on your face as sunlight drips through the trees. They’re staring back as you walk into the bar and catch onto a stranger’s crooked smile and feel, know, they’ll change your life for the better.Good vibes are also the uplift, the energy, the bright, warm, contented, beautiful feeling you experience because of a particular person, place, or moment. They’re the stories that give you hope.But they are not the vibes that will tell you that everything is fine or will be better. They are about action, motion, sharing, accepting the messiness of being human, refusing to accept the superficiality or laziness of optimism.🏔 The dream lifeWorking for a DAOHave time for friends & familyLive by the sea/mountainsEarn a passive income from Defi & not worry about moneyResearch new opportunities in cryptoTalk to smart people and share ideasTravel the world🤝 ValuesBe creative and resourceful.Embrace and drive change.Celebrate and enjoy the journey.We value our people and reward their performance.Deliver WOW through UX.Create fun and a little weirdness.Be adventurous, creative, and open-minded.Pursue growth and learning.Build open and honest relationships with communication.Build a positive team and family spirit.Do more with less.Be passionate and determined.Be humble.Push yourselves and push others.Stretch the possible.


Dimitri Daniloff. Genesis Series

At the age of 26, Dimitri Daniloff received a camera as a gift and became enamored and obsessed with photography. He has been immersed in its world ever since. While his work is often inspired by fantasy, he goes to great lengths to accomplish as much in-camera as possible. He relishes the opportunity to work with raw ideas and shape them piece by piece into reality. The DDA Collection brings his oeuvre into the world of NFTs during the First LTL Collection Drop. #SeasonZeroFor over a decade, the award-winning photographer Dimitri Daniloff has been among the top 10 advertising photographers in the world. Around the Millenium, Dimitri Daniloff pioneered the switch from analog to digital. Some of the brands that bought his work are Absolut Vodka, Air France, Audi, Carlsberg, Land Rover, LG, Longchamp, Nike, and Sony Playstation.Below is a list of the curated selection of 33 iconic images, by Dimitri Daniloff.DDA_Molds 1 This image is from 2005, the third year of my shooting for PS. There are two versions of this image in existence. The image seen here with the black background is the official version. We were in an incredible house in the suburbs of Paris, designed by Mallet Stevens. I had the day (which was normal at the time) to shoot the image and therefore explore different options. So the first version I completed was with a window overlooking the countryside, then in the afternoon this second version. I used a large amount of flash to “turn off” the scenery behind the windows, hence the night effect on the scene.DDA_PlugsThis image is part of the 3rd season I shot for PS2, in 2005. I remember the day of the shoot very well. We were in a sort of abandoned castle one hour from Paris, in the middle of winter. We were freezing to death because there were no heaters. I spent the day shooting different scenes with the actors but I wasn’t completely satisfied. At the end of the day, I was looking at my assistant who wore a Mohawk at the time. So I said to myself, “I’m going to try a shot with him in the image” and replaced one of the actors that I found too “perfect”. I then asked my assistant to go shirtless. The room was 5°C and I promised him that I would take no more than a max of 5 photos with him. I took 4. I announced the end of the shoot. The image was perfect with him.DDA_Molds 2Image from 2005. It’s the 2nd version of this image that exists, the other being in front of black windows. This is the "director's cut" version. I discussed at length with the agency to know which would be the official version of these 2 images. I like this version because it confronts reality more clearly, with the landscape in the background, and a surreal universe with the characters in the foreground. DDA_MrPotatoes2nd year of my shooting for PS, 2004. Everything had started with a conflict with the agency as I absolutely wanted to create the image with this red tool box that for me was perfect for this character that needed to arrange his eyes, noses, mouths… in an orderly way. But the agency wanted to use a white table… right up until the moment I told them I wouldn’t take on the project unless I had the piece of furniture I wanted. The next step was to change the style a little in relation to the first year. I wanted something more raw, more natural than the first year. So the morning of the shoot, I woke up telling myself I would use only one flash that day, without a single accessory, not even a reflector bowl, while I had probably planned a list of lights with a dozen flashes and as many accessories if not more. Finally and such is often my routine, I spent my day shooting several scenes of images by changing the layout of the elements with the actor that was chosen for the role. And again not satisfied by the end of the day. So I asked the artistic director who was beside me if he would like to replace the actor, just as a test. He was perfect! In the end it’s him in the photograph.DDA_SmokingThis image was made in 2011, but it was never released. This is not an official image. It was never published because the regulations in France prohibit all praising of drugs in advertising, which seems normal to me for that matter. I shot this image in a castle that we previously emptied of all its furniture to adapt the decor to the atmosphere I was looking for. The shelves with all the jars on the left have been completely added in. It seems to me that the chandelier was not there either. I worked on the characters in small groups so that I could properly direct them before editing the image as a whole in post-production. I myself appear in the picture... DDA_CubismeCubism is one of my first series of images where I utilized 3D, created in 2008. It was part of a personal research task. I used 3D not as an element allowing the creation of realistic objects, which was not possible in a photo at the time, but as a means to construct the image. Using the principle of cubism, which consists of showing a face from different angles in the same composition, I first shot several images of my model to then project these different angles onto geometries in the 3D software and render an image. Therefore these images are truly 3D, and not photographs. The photos served as textures for the 3D. It’s a reinterpretation of cubism using contemporary tools. The images have been published but I don’t recall which ones.DDA_Bus StopThis is an image from 2011 that I shot in LA for a department store chain. I really like this ad for both its natural and surreal side. It is the portrait of an abandoned video game giant. I had found this character, uncomfortable, tall, strong, and with this unusual body during the casting. He was perfect in his way of moving (yes even for a photo). I chose a place to take the photo where there is no bus stop, and I proposed to the decorator with whom I am working on this project to make one. I asked him to intentionally make it too small to constrain the actor’s work, hamper his body, and in this way accentuate his uncomfortable and giant side. Then, at the time of the shoot, the actor finds himself at a bus stop that is too small for him. It's perfect! All I had to do was enlarge the character and the bus stop in post-production to give it a realistic size and to give my actor the proportions of a giant.DDA_TreadmillThis image is from 2008 and it is probably one of the most difficult I’ve had to do because part of it was shot in the studio and the other part was in the mountains. It was an ad for a chocolate bar. The base of the treadmill was a scale model that I had made and shot in the studio, as well as the snow groomer that appears in the lower part of the treadmill. The people in the bathtub were also shot in the studio. I shot the snowboarder in the mountains by spending a few hours lying in the snow, and the other elements were also shot in the mountains. I had to have my image clear in mind to shoot each element from the right perspective. DDA_SpiderThis 2004 Shocking image caused significant controversy. It was designed to raise awareness about the risks of unprotected sex. The scene is located in a bright Parisian bourgeois apartment. By toning down the image, instead of a dark obscured atmosphere, and by utilizing the daily environments of the target audience, I help people connect more easily to a world they know. The idea is to shock but not make people look away from the image: that’s what I’m attempting to accomplish by mixing these different elements of luxury and provocation. I had asked for the creation of a giant spider, simplified, to shoot all the interactions between the model and the beast’s “fur”. Then I also shot a taxidermied tarantula, using a macro lens, to capture every little detail of the texture and replace it on the model in post-production.DDA_PillsImage shot in 2004 and in reference to the movie “The Matrix”. But let's be clear. I've never shot Morpheus, or even a lookalike. The model didn't really look like the movie actor. He was "adjusted" in post-production. I even think the body of the character isn’t his because he didn’t fit in the clothes. DDA_HourglassImage from 2007 and produced for a campaign against AIDS. For this image, I had called on a contemporary dance company whose work was partly centered on nudity. I made this choice for 2 reasons. The first reason is a very natural relationship to nudity, in order for them not to be embarrassed by contact, even if they were not naked for the shoot. And the second reason was the way of moving that I wanted to be very natural but also very elegant and controlled. I actually only had about twenty dancers for the shoot, so they were duplicated to fill the hourglass. The way to place themselves was different depending on whether they were at the top or bottom of the hourglass. A little anecdote, during the shoot, so as to not create a difference between the dancers and me and my producer, we undress. And it's right in the middle of this shoot, when I'm very scantily dressed, that my client arrives and my producer introduces me for the first time.  DDA_ScorpionThis 2004 Shocking image caused significant controversy. It was designed to raise awareness about the risks of unprotected sex. I decided to set the scene in a bright student’s room, seemingly from a “good family”, to reinforce that the risk is not restricted only to the middle of the night. Once again, the usage of a bright environment makes it possible to tone down the image, to better convey the message, and allow time for people to take in the scene. A dark ambiance combined with the scorpion would have created a sort of immediate radical disgust and would have been less effective at conveying the message. I had a human-sized resin scorpion made, simplified with no details, only covered in black paint so that each element would be separate. This allowed me to, for example, shoot the pressure points of the legs on the human body. Next, with the help of a macro lens, I shot a real taxidermied scorpion to replace and apply the texture to the resin model in post-production.DDA_RebirthThis image was shot in 2003 and won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions International Festival. I was on vacation when the agency requested I shoot this campaign, and I immediately returned to Paris to work on the project. The agency wanted a more realistic interpretation, in a hospital, while I thought a more stylized rendition would be fairer and more “acceptable”. So I took the image in that direction by using a simplified setting. The editing of the woman was inspired by that which was in style at the time, with shiny skin and hair that stuck together to add sensuality. You may also note that the woman is not visibly pregnant.DDA_SupermarketThis image is part of the first PS campaign I shot in 2003. It won numerous awards including a Golden Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival. It was also the cover of Archives magazine. This is probably the image that pushed me to go digital. Without a digital shoot, it would have been very complicated to manage this image, it would have been necessary to calibrate more than 30 negatives for the editing, and without the ability to see if there was a perspective error in real-time. So for this image, I first shot an empty supermarket with the main character. I then went to the studio where I reconstructed my perspective lines to arrange the characters and shot them in groups of 3. There are 110 people in the image, shot in one day, so I couldn't control the makeup for each of them. I therefore asked my hair/makeup team to exaggerate the features of each of them. Then each character was placed in the studio at the exact angle and position as would appear in the final image. DDA_Eye_1This image is from 2004, created for the magazine “Courrier International”. The message was to see things as they are. It’s a very technical image due to the close-up of the eye. I remember exactly what I used to create this peeling effect. I sent my assistant to pick up hard-boiled eggs from the kitchen of the studio where I worked. By peeling the hard-boiled eggs I got the exact texture I was looking for in my composition. So I shot a few photos of this texture to use in my final composition. Since the idea was shocking, I took the bias to treat the image in a “beautifying” way, with radiant skin to make the image more “acceptable”.DDA_Eye_2Image from 2003, made for the DA club in Paris. The difficulty of this image lies in the casting, finding the eye that will express terror. It’s quite difficult to control one’s eye so that it stays wide open, so a very expressive eye was required to achieve the final image. I think I had to shoot 2 or 3 people that day to have the best options possible during the final edit. Electroshocks in contact with water had then been shot, to create the light ripple effect on the eye. To make the composition more realistic, eyelashes pass over the arm.DDA_Porcelaine DollsPorcelaine Dolls is a series from 2007 that is part of my personal work. It’s a reflection on the fragility of our image, the image we construct of ourselves through the modifications that we give it. The images are presented in the form of a diptych associating a character with an object, to reinforce the object effect of the portrait. The series was published in Eyemazing magazine and one of the images was the cover. I used real porcelain dolls whose faces I broke to create the special effects. DDA_SkinI love this 2003 image for its simplicity and efficiency. The message is simple and clear. There is no assembly in this image. The tag was simply glued to the skin, as well as the small pieces of thread. A little makeup to redden the skin and voila! This image was made for a campaign against cancer. DDA_PizzaThis is an image shot in 2011 for an American department store chain. I shot this image in LA entirely in the studio. He's an inactive video game character, at home. I had called in an actor, despite the fact that he can’t be seen, because I wanted to explore body language so that the character conveys an emotion. I remember the preparation meeting with the decorator about 15 days before the shoot. I didn't want to end up with a new couch aged in a fake way, or with rental furniture for movies. So I asked the decorator to buy everything in the “used ads" by picking out what he found most "awful". I also asked him to buy pizzas that same day, and to keep them until the day of the shoot to ensure the realism of the mould. Everything is real in this picture, even the dirty laundry. DDA_DeathThis is the first image I shot for PS in 2003. If I’m not mistaken it was shot with a 4x5 camera. It required a lot of setups because I used a simple medical school skeleton. Every element was shot separately, the hand, the skull, the revolver… to finally be assembled in post-production. Then the textures, probably marble, but I don’t recall exactly, were applied to the image to give it that aged look.DDA_Digital_Game“Digital game” is a series that I shot around 2006 for Bon magazine. It’s a series in which I imagined the future of romantic relationships thanks to the intervention of new technologies in the digital age. Use of technologies that allow us to recreate touch or to generate shapes. With the interior designer, we had used very basic elements such as PVC pipes to create the basis of the decor because our budget was very tight.DDA_Ombre_PorteeThis is one of my favorite series, I shot it in 2003 for the Style And The Family Tunes magazine. Shot in the 4x5 room, it’s a beauty series that required a lot of work. The concept was simple, shape the face like an illustration in 2D. For this, I first projected a hard light on the model’s face, and then the makeup artist was taking the shadows to rework and accentuate them. Then I shot the model in a very soft light to not interfere with the makeup. This image was the cover of the October 2003 issue.Read MoreDimitri DaniloffDimitri’s pursuit isn’t just about employing new techniques; it’s about pushing his own boundaries, exploring new aesthetics, and continually reinventing his craft.

We will partner with institutions and donate resources to help with environmental preservation.Are you still feeling confused about our roadmap anon? Well, that's fine, we'll talk more in detail in the next few months but above all, we recommend you listen to the BanklessDAO podcast episode with Kevin Rose, we just did and it gave us the conviction that we're onto something here. He's a very talented entrepreneur, and to be honest, hearing him speak, ... will help degens like you, to connect the GVO dots.


The PlayStation Culture

Along with the innovations of interactive 3D technology that Playstation helped pioneer, also came games developed for maturer audiences. These games helped usher a series of design stances that justified utilizing late 90s club culture, Corporate Grunge, and GEN X Soft-Club designs as a guiding ethos. These aesthetics became the muse for PS2 print advertisements. Video and print ads for Playstation looked similar to films like Trainspotting, The Matrix, and Requiem for a Dream. Even director David Lynch directed a couple of PS2 promos.The phrase, "Different Place. Different Rules," is perhaps the thematic commonality of almost all the PS2 promotional material of the late 90s and early 2000s. The simple idea was to make the mundane happenings of typical daily life collide head-on with the most obscure and surreal abstractions. By utilizing the punk, industrial, and dystopian arrangements set forth by various underground club movements and films like Fight Club (1999) and Blade (1998), Sony's Playstation captured a sense of fear and unease in their print adverts. These images targeted an older audience; they let gamers know that no matter your age, gaming could now be part of everyone's everyday life (as it collides with even the most underground street movements). They brought a sense of danger, macabre, and excitement to the otherwise uneventful. Author: Vram_CPU

Anyone that is holding a GVO NFT will be able to choose what will happen next. Everything will be dynamically affected by those decisions.The Odyssey Art Magazine - LiveTheLifeTV / GVOGoodVibesOhmlyAbove all, GVO is a testing lab for new ideas to push the Odyssey project going forward. The only thing we know for sure is that we have a world-class resident artist and that the art is the only utility we deliver at this stage. That being said, we're bullish AF on what we are working on. There is so much room to innovate and this feels like the adventure of a lifetime tbh.

DDA CollectionLiveTheLifeTV and GVO are launching the DDA Collection: an intimate community that unlocks exclusive digital, physical, and experiential benefits for holders. DDA is working to become a carbon-offsetting NFT collection by using Klima’s carbon offset aggregator tool.The Odyssey Art Magazine - LiveTheLifeTV / GVOGoodVibesOhmlytesting our mint flow on RinkebyThe NFT contract for the LTL/GVO collection has a few objectives:independence of centralized NFT marketplacessupport secondaries on all major NFT marketplacesdecentralized art storage Arweave (+IPFS backup)minting on your own Good Vibes OHMly websitecustom primary & secondary sales splitspresale lists, mint pass, on-chain art, staking, vesting, etc.unique ASCII artist signature (and more features soon)Usually, your own contract requires coding or hiring your own developers, and costs ~0.5 ETH to deploy. Also, it might contain security issues that will lead to unrecoverable loss of funds or blocking bugs. That's why we are exploring the Metaverse NFT contract that already helped creators raise more than 1500ETH without any security issues. This also cuts down contract deployment cost to 0.02-0.04 ETH and lets us launch an NFT collection with minting on the LTL/GVO website. Even more, this architecture allows us to build & connect Extensions with additional functionality like delayed claims, vesting, etc. There's no rush, no race to mint first, no gas wars. NFT drops are broken. Mints should be fair. LFG fix this.Speaking of Fairmint, as soon as they deploy the V2 on Optimism, we will incorporate LTL/GVO as a Delaware C Corp to be 100% compliant to offer crypto native token rewards. We want to raise funds to ship the web3 travel app, and add fresh content to our NFT magazine. Fairmint will allow us to raise continuously from the people that love and support what we do and reward our 70K+ web2 community with LTL/GVO equity on web3 rails.

GVO Labs inspired by Nouns DAO

What gives an NFT value? Is it the vibe? Is it the artwork that can be displayed online or IRL in a digital frame? Is it the utility offered within a game or virtual world? If you’re unfamiliar with the NFT space, 2021 has seen an explosion of avatar projects with nearly every project following some variation of the following formula:Release a large, but limited, number of NFTs at onceHave different traits with some being extremely rare and others commonHave a road map that the creators of the project promise to deliverOptionally: Give IP rights to the individual that owns the NFTEvery Noun is a single vote in the Noun DAO, which gets to decide how to use the funds that come from the sales.Some projects add unique twists and extra features, but the structure is relatively the same. What's been fascinating about these projects is how quickly they form online communities. When I changed my profile picture to a Bored Ape in May, I was met with an immediate following from other Apes on Twitter, each of us taking the #ApeFollowApe ethos and meme to heart. Other NFT projects have active online communities as well, with each having its own culture and values and using Twitter and Discord as the medium for communication.Below is an experimental NFT project that stood out the past few years, and that we want to use as the base layer for our very own experiment. Some context:The OG EditionNouns  introduced a novel underlying organizational structure to the NFT space. In the case of all PFP projects prior, the primary sales went to a team who then took the proceeds for themselves or figured out how to deploy the proceeds to accrue more value to the projects owners. The proceeds of all Nouns sales goes directly to the Nouns DAO and each Noun represents one vote.Nouns took inspiration from Cryptopunks to serve as profile pictures and identity in the metaverse, but I think their scarcity makes them much more likely to be used as a mascot-like figure for groups of people. Rather than everyone sporting a Noun as their identity, we will rally around a given Noun as a group. What arises is a confederation of DAOs with different interests that can interact with each other and tap into a large treasury. Nouns DAO then becomes a Meta DAO, where it serves as the liaison and binding factor between Sub DAOs, which in turn will have much more concrete goals. In fact, there's nothing stopping a Sub DAO from joining another Sub DAO, and so on. It's DAOs all the way down.The Nouns founders, or “Nounders,” reserve the right to veto any “obviously harmful governance proposal” during what is described as a “governance slow start” while the NFT supply builds up. However, they plan to “provably revoke” the veto privilege as DAO membership grows.Nouns, however, take the formula and flip it on its head:Nouns are released one at a time, with an auction ending every 24 hoursEvery Noun is equally rareThere is no road map from the Nounders (Noun founders)All IP around the Nouns is licensed under CC0, making it completely open-source and free to copy and modifyAnd then there is the most important part of the project, the DAO. For those unfamiliar, DAO is an acronym that stands for a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that allows groups of pseudonymous people to control money and assets using Ethereum smart contracts without relying on a centralized person or party.Imagine the characters without the DAO or treasury. The art would be delightful, but Nouns would be one among a growing ‘sea’ of avatar projects. No, the real magic happens when we add these features together. The characters and the cadence create the culture, which benefits the treasury and the DAO. But this is only half of a virtuous cycle. To complete the cycle, we must feed the treasury back into the culture via the DAO. We should fund and cultivate a community of builders by experimenting, taking risks, and ultimately funding every high quality proposal that could lead to interesting culture and software.Nouns are a generative NFT project on the Ethereum blockchain. The Nouns NFTs are 32x32 pixel avatars based on people, places, and things. One noun is generated per day. The Nouns NFT is a protocol and open source project. The programming that generates Nouns, and the art, is open-source. The creators of Nouns placed it in the public domain so that anybody may build on it, just as they can on the codebase.Ethereum block hashes are used to create nouns at random. Because there are no if statements or other rules affecting noun trait scarcity, all nouns are equally uncommon. Nouns are currently made up of the following traits:accessories (137)backgrounds (2)bodies (30)glasses (21)heads (234)Each Noun is a generative piece of art and stored directly on chain. Only one noun NFT is generated per day and is auctioned off every 24 hours, indefinitely. One option for participating in the noun actions is nouns.wtfOnce an auction ends with no further bids, the NFT is sent to the nouns DAO treasury, and then the NFT will be transferred to the winning bidder’s address.After completion, the auction must be settled due to the way Etherum works. The settlement transaction is responsible for a number of things:It sends the current NOUN NFT to the winner of the auctionThe next Noun is then generatedThe next 24-hour auction beginsThe Nouns DAO is the main governing body of Nouns and runs on a fork of Compound Governance. The Nouns DAO treasury receives all of the ETH proceeds attained from the daily noun auctions. Nouns can vote on proposals or delegate their voting power to a third party. You must hold a minimum of 1 Noun to submit proposals.Owning a noun allows you to create and vote on governance proposals, which execute transactions on the ethereum blockchain once they are approved.Nounders (the Nouns DAO founders) have elected to pay themselves with nouns since all noun auction revenues are transferred to Nouns DAO. These are the original founders who initiated Nouns:For the first five years of the project, every tenth noun will be automatically delivered to the Nounder's multi-sig to be acquired and split among the project's founding members.These transfers have no effect on the frequency of 24-hour auctions. Nouns are transferred immediately to the Nounder's multi-sig, and auctions proceed as planned with the next available noun ID.DAOJ: 2 - NounsDAOWTFThe DAOJZachary RothMany traditional players may not understand the potential value of NFTs and community-developed IP. Brands that release NFTs are still ultimately licensing out owned properties. Nouns is very different in approach. Film studios have worked with public domain creations before, such as with the “Hotel Transylvania” films. Nouns DAO and Meta DAOsIts DAOs All The Way DownNew DayRayoConsider what this means for building a media organization. Legacy media companies like Disney and Sony believe that their value comes in the form of the media they produce. They create characters, give them stories, and control marketing, distribution, and press releases. They protect their work using copyright laws and DMCA filings to prevent others from using their materials without permission. Nouns DAO is betting against that model. So where does value come from? Since Nouns live on the blockchain, they are secured by cryptographic truth and their provenance is easily verifiable. Rather than having value come from specific instantiations of media, like a Spiderman movie, the value lies in the underlying asset itself—the equivalent to owning the character Spiderman. It’s unrealistic to try to enforce copyright on the blockchain and Nouns is betting that we don’t even need to. By having a community of builders working on open source material, any reference to a Noun makes the token that represents the Noun more valuable. If we consider different types of media entities and how they might be placed on a centralized-to-decentralized scale, legacy media like Disney and Sony would be far to the left and NFT projects like Nouns would be far to the right.Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.A new tool that blends your everyday work apps into one.

Reflections & Next Steps

We’ve begun work on the smart contracts, developed concepts for the generative aspect of the art, and built up to a team of contributors. I’ve been reflecting a lot and meditating on what our next steps should be. I wanted to share my current vision of the future of LTL/GVO. Take note that I am dreaming big here. This article will lay out in details the steps that I believe would help LTL/GVO reach its highest potential and thus highest impact. I hope this can initiate discussion within our community on the topic and we can reach an agreement on how to move our mission forward.Highest PotentialWe’ve been asked and are asking ourselves “wen launch?” While a deadline is great to have, I believe creativity shouldn’t be boxed into time constraints if it is to reach its highest potential. It may take 2-3 months or it may take 6-8 months for the potential of LTL/GVO to be reached, and I refuse to sacrifice a modicum of quality in our execution in favor of speed. We are building something meant to last 50 years, not 50 days. Good things take time.Continuing that thought, we’re now rethinking the LTL/GVO Art Series from the ground up, aiming to help it reach its highest potential. The technical and mission side of this project is very thought out and ambitious, and I believe the art should be equally innovative and ambitious. We believe the story behind the art must be compelling, and we need a standout trait that people immediately identify as our signature (think Nouns glasses). The result will be the blueprint for developing a generative art algorithm that incorporates compelling data. This may include on-chain carbon activity, real-world climate patterns, user interaction/input, and more.Art ExecutionAt this point, we’ll need to decide the process by which the art will be created. I will now lay out my reasoning for approaching this phase of our development with a spirit of collaborative and communal creativity.I believe the following 3 conditions being met would lead to us reaching our highest potential.Finding a marquee Artist PartnerPartnering with an Art PlatformIntroducing a large-scale collaborative element1 - Finding a marquee Artist PartnerThe artist would have skin in the game with their name attached to the project. Their current collector base would be our ideal collectors: people interested in innovative generative art, and who have proven to be long-term holders of high quality art. 2 - Partnering with an Art PlatformPotential partners off the top of my mind would be Fxhash, Klima, Manifold, and Odyssey. Regardless of who this partner or partners end up being, they will play a key role in condition #3.3 - Introducing a large-scale collaborative elementLTL/GVO and our platform partner will be co-hosting an invite-only event in which generative artists will gather to collectively build a unique generative algorithm for LTL/GVO. I imagine this being a hybrid IRL/virtual event in an idyllic natural setting, with professional quality work and production studios for artists to collaborate. The main event would take place over 4-7 days, with added time on either end for our artist partner and core team members from LTL/GVO & our platform partner to go in depth and deliver a polished final product.///By keeping this process invite-only, we can create anticipation and hype for the public launch. To further ensure an optimal first atomic network, I propose limiting the first 33 LTL/GVO auctions to a pre-approved group of collectors based on the community that has formed up to that point. If the network is sufficiently high quality, there will be significant demand once auctions are opened to the public.///FundingIn reality, we need to be able to pay a dev to join us full time, at least at first, in order to fork the Nouns distribution & governance models, create the custom carbon offsetting contract, and remain around to help with ongoing developments and any issues that arise. With the above outlined proposal for our approach to the art side, we are looking at another large expense.I propose we focus deeply over the next couple months on acquiring funding. During this time, we will continue making progress developing the art, growing our community, developing the contracts and refining our plans for using the funds we raise. We will develop strategies for developing our key partnerships, and solidify plans for our pre-launch collaborative event.Potential funding methods:Grants. Polygon announced $20m in funding for green initiatives. Identify and pitch web3 native VCs and angel investors. Use a tool like Fairmint.Release a genesis collection of ~33 NFTs to raise funds from the community.I will be expanding on this in the coming weeks to develop a full strategy and discuss amongst our community.///Final NoteTo our entire community, I’m incredibly grateful for y’all, and this project wouldn’t be what it is without each of you. I’ve been working as a creative for over 20 years, and have always done things 99% myself out of necessity. Through joining the web3 communities, I’ve found a wonderful group of people who will happily offer their valuable expertise and time to help build something they believe in. Your enthusiasm gives me energy and life. The ambition of this project keeps me excited to the point of getting less sleep than usual, and each day feels like this beautiful thing is taking shape and coming to life in front of my eyes bit by bit. My promise to you all (and our whole community) is that I will work with the upmost diligence, focus, love and passion to see this reach its potential. Let’s change the world and have fun doing it.Aloha

The Future of Photography?

LiveTheLifeTV is a web3 media company. Our art studio is powering the future of meta, digital, and traditional media. We are shaping our brand through storytelling, experiences, and community. Our MVP is a photography and photogrammetry-centric NFT platform with a curated collection from award-winning artists. To stay true to our vision, we're shipping an NFT auction house & metaverse gallery that will showcase a highly curated selection of NFT minted on a custom creator contract. The most important thing a creator can do is listen to and learn from the community and the market. We have been watching carefully and felt that given the current climate and state of the market, the most exciting way to grow our community organically will be through a free mint. Our priority is to get some beautiful works of art into the hands and wallets of our community so it can be appreciated by everyone the same way we have been appreciating it! We have some plans down the road that involves a Founders Mint Pass, but this will be completely optional and will not hinder your enjoyment of our community if you choose not to participate. (🔥 Mint Page 🔥)The Founders Mint Pass is in a superstate where it constantly fluctuates between art, proof of ownership, access keys, items (physical and digital), and perceived values. It’s ok to collect NFTs for different reasons, whether it’s the art, the money, the tech, or the membership. The Founders Mint Pass will unlock digital, physical, and experiential benefits for holders. We think of these NFTs as a piece of art that also acts as a Proof Of Membership. The Mint Pass is your ticket to all future artist releases, a collection that includes icons from the photography world as well as hand-picked up and comers.
