            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/512/1*NPqQrJZmK10pmDH-ZfD86w.png" /><figcaption>$ARTE token logo</figcaption></figure><p>Six months have passed since the mint of the ArtPunks collection! We would like to thank all the holders who have been with us during this time, 6 months in the NFT space feels like 6 years because of the constant evolvement of the space. During this half-year, the NFT market has changed completely. In September there were one or two mints on Solana per day, now there are often several dozen mints per day! In September all the collections were just PFPs, now collections have way more utilities and their founders have to work around the clock on new ideas, improvements, and value-adds. In September, Magic Eden was the smallest marketplace in Solana, and we were one of the first collections listed on it, today Magic Eden has the largest volume among all marketplaces in Solana and there are thousands of collections listed!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/508/1*kAMVnRUToXRoGHwXHJj_Nw.png" /><figcaption>Do you remember that community complaints about Solanart not wanting to list us?</figcaption></figure><p>As ArtPunks, we have achieved a lot — we are currently the largest “AltPunk” collection on Solana — our floor is higher than the SolPunks floor, which for a long time was one of the largest collections on Solana. We are also in the top 30 collections when it comes to market cap! This is something we’re very proud of and it is only possible because of our amazing community- thank you! Do you remember all of the collections with which we were compared when our floor was low and which came out in the meantime? Most of them are now around 0.2 SOL floor…</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/611/1*9T2td4p6kcr9gUHQBmbsXA.png" /><figcaption>ArtPunks soldout tweet :D 09/27/2021</figcaption></figure><p>Lots of our recent success can be attributed to the release of the $ARTE token about 2 months ago, after the initial pump from $0.01 to $0.15, the $ARTE price dropped and is now hovering around $0.03 — $0.04 (a 3–4x from the initial price). Today, we want to introduce a number of changes aimed at stabilizing the price of the token and increasing its value in the long term:</p><ol><li><strong>ArtPunksVerse Exhibition Passes Mint.</strong></li></ol><p>As you probably know, we have been creating ArtPunksVerse — VR gallery for a long time:</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FzuGDh9ZZUxk%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DzuGDh9ZZUxk&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzuGDh9ZZUxk%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/3f31836cd122e519ba9b00989abf4e9a/href">https://medium.com/media/3f31836cd122e519ba9b00989abf4e9a/href</a></iframe><p>We’re proud to announce that we’re almost finished, the gallery looks fantastic, it will be available for browsers, mobile devices, and VR sets. It will contain all ArtPunks with all metadata, as well as the option to display the image on which the ArtPunk was based and additional information about the image/artist because we want it to also have an educational aspect.</p><p>Entry to this gallery will only be for people with a special Exhibition Pass NFT, their mint will take place around April 20th and will be entirely for $ARTE (all $ARTE used to mint this NFT will be burned). The supply and exact price of the mint is not known yet, but if you restored your ArtPunk in February and you hold your $ARTE from staking, you will definitely have enough $ARTE to mint an NFT entry card. Our graphic artist is preparing beautiful, animated graphics for Entry Card NFTs, they will also have many styles, with different rarities. The utility of most passes will be the same — admission to the gallery, but the rarest cards will have an additional utility — the ability to create your own VR gallery with your NFT/paintings.</p><p>In addition, we want to collaborate with artists and art galleries and exhibit their paintings in our VR galleries, as in ArtPunks gallery - only people with Exhibition Pass NFTs will have access to them. Exhibition Passes NFTs will have also special utilities in the Landscape NFT collection.</p><p>More about Exhibition Passes NFT, sneak-peeks from the VR gallery, and details about mint will be published soon.</p><p>2. <strong>$ARTE lottery update.</strong></p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F0YDsnNd5cq4%3Fstart%3D2%26feature%3Doembed%26start%3D2&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0YDsnNd5cq4&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0YDsnNd5cq4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/9d1905445413d5da2a2b581b0a6fde0a/href">https://medium.com/media/9d1905445413d5da2a2b581b0a6fde0a/href</a></iframe><p>Alien and one of the Zombies were already won in our lottery, therefore to make the lottery more profitable again, today we have added new prizes worth around 150 $SOL to the prize pool:</p><ul><li>20 ArtPunks</li><li>10 Paint Palettes NFT</li></ul><p>The profitability of<a href="https://lottery.arte-token.com/"> playing the lottery </a>at the current $ARTE price is really high. You can easily calculate this by calculating the price of the remaining tickets and the price of the remaining rewards. One lottery ticket costs less than $15 and there are around 100 prizes worth more than $500 in the prize pool and still one Zombie (the last zombie was sold on Magic Eden for 50 $SOL).</p><p><strong>3. $ARTE Farming.</strong></p><p>Today we started the $ARTE farm on <a href="https://dex.aldrin.com/pools">Aldrin DEX</a>. We set up rewards for the liquidity providers at approximately $20,000. Rewards will be distributed within 100 days (until the approximate date of Landscape NFT mint). By this farm, we want to give our holders the possibility to earn on their $ARTE while waiting for Landscapes NFT mint.</p><p>Instructions on how to farm and earn money can be found in the # how-to-farm channel on our Discord.</p><p>Also, remember about the risks associated with farming (Impermanent Loss). We recommend watching these videos first:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m6Mowq3Ptk&amp;ab_channel=WhiteboardCrypto">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m6Mowq3Ptk&amp;ab_channel=WhiteboardCrypto</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaeI5D6NDvw&amp;t=249s&amp;ab_channel=WhiteboardCrypto">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaeI5D6NDvw&amp;t=249s&amp;ab_channel=WhiteboardCrypto</a></li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*qgG3j-6RYhGEgZlBMnUrAg.png" /><figcaption>$ARTE farming started</figcaption></figure><p><strong>4. Paint Palettes.</strong></p><p>Today we will start the last unrevealed Paint Palettes auction on our Discord! In a few days, we will list Paint Palettes at Magic Eden. Around April 10, there will be Paint Palettes reveal and each Paint Palette will change its graphic and its metadata will show the style assigned to it! The Paint Palettes style transfer system release is scheduled for around May 20.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*qoNwPk_b4dl-2_iZ5WOicg.gif" /><figcaption>Revealed Paint Palette with Yvonne Coleman Burney (Rubies Blooming In The Garden) style</figcaption></figure><p><strong>5. FramesNFT Achievements.</strong></p><p>The NFThodlZone Frames achievements update is almost finished, and most of the NFT Frames achievements will be available next week. Several achievements may have a slight delay. To stake FramesNFT achievements, you will have to hold/stake minimum 1 ArtPunk.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*BCbGYY3FLEb2kVd1.png" /><figcaption>FramesNFT achievements sneak-peek</figcaption></figure><p><strong>6. Landscape NFT.</strong></p><p>I feel like we’ve explained the ideas of Landscape NFT a bit too poorly and that is why a large number of holders sell their $ARTE. LandscapeNFT is a very ambitious project, through which we want to connect ArtPunks with FramesNFT and give $ARTE a long-term utility. Landscape NFT will have very little supply — probably only 500 NFT — their mint will be a whitelist only and only for $ARTE. Landscape NFT will be linked to a browser game where you will be able to upgrade your LandscapeNFT by paying $ARTE and adding new attributes to it and changing traits to more rare ones. The rarer Landscape NFT you create, the better “exhibitions” you will be able to submit.</p><p>“Exhibition” will be a kind of locked-staking program, which in addition to rewards in $ARTE, will be able to give you special prizes related to our collections and friendly collections. These will be, for example, special Paint Palettes with new styles for ArtPunks, whitelist tokens for good mint, NFT allowing you to upgrade FramesNFT, and perhaps even change your ArtPunk’s graphics to animations (this is not yet confirmed). With exhibitions, you will also be able to get many items related directly to the LandscapeNFT “Play-2-Earn” game.</p><p>LandscapeNFT will be integrated with your ArtPunks, FramesNFT, and Exhibition Passes NFT holdings. The more, better NFTs from our collections will enable you to upgrade Landscape NFT easier and cheaper and be able to receive better rewards from Exhibitions. We will publish more details about Landscape NFT and their sneak-peeks in updates every two weeks.</p><p><strong>7. Sweep &amp; Delist.</strong></p><p>As you know we started the Sweep&amp;Delist contest:</p><p><a href="https://discord.com/channels/881923465094000701/893927100422189066/953439320230985728">https://discord.com/channels/881923465094000701/893927100422189066/953439320230985728</a></p><p>However, we would like to increase its prize pool! From this week on, in addition to ArtPunk, there will be a Paint Palette to be won in every weekly draw!</p><p>You have less than 24 hours to <a href="https://www.magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">delist/buy ArtPunk</a> and take part in the draw! Good luck!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/928/0*KSi-mHzwmZEZqnCA.png" /><figcaption>Sweep&amp;Delist contest graphic</figcaption></figure><p><strong>8. Summary.</strong></p><p>Summarizing the roadmap for the next few weeks is:</p><ul><li>Today — Lottery Prize Pool Update</li><li>Today — $ARTE farming release</li><li>Today — Last unrevealed Paint Palette auction</li><li>Today — We are adding Paint Palette to each weekly Sweep&amp;Delist contest raffle!</li><li>~04/01 — Paint Palettes Magic Eden Listing</li><li>~04/01 — FramesNFT achievements minting release</li><li>~04/10 — Paint Palettes reveal!</li><li>~04/20 — ArtPunksVerse Entry Cards mint!</li><li>~05/05 — ArtPunksVerse release</li><li>~05/20 — Paint Palettes system (style transfer) system release</li></ul><p>In the meantime, we will probably list some new collections on NFThodlZone and prepare a new lottery, in an improved form and in cooperation with many other projects.</p><p><a href="https://www.magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">Hope you like today’s community update, let’s sweep now some ArtPunks and stake them until the moon!</a></p><p>Have a great weekend everyone!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c9658680ff53" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello ArtPunks Family and Solana community, in this article we would like to provide you all details about our lottery. You will learn about how the lottery will work, why we decided to create it and what impact that may have if it comes to our ecosystem token $ARTE and ArtPunks collection. You will also be able to read how it will work and what kind of prizes participants are able to win.</p><p><strong>Agenda:</strong></p><ol><li>Explanation of how the lottery system will work.</li><li>Prizepool.</li><li>Lottery impact on $ARTE token and its price.</li></ol><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F0YDsnNd5cq4%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0YDsnNd5cq4&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0YDsnNd5cq4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/7b0d4c264fcbe61088c38d210bd9b923/href">https://medium.com/media/7b0d4c264fcbe61088c38d210bd9b923/href</a></iframe><ol><li><strong>How the lottery will work?</strong></li></ol><p>The lottery will be available on our website subdomain which address we will release on Sunday at 6:00 PM UTC. As you may already know to take part in the lottery you will have to pay the required amount of the $ARTE token. You can earn $ARTE by staking <a href="https://www.magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">ArtPunks</a> and <a href="https://nfthodl.zone/achievements">achievements</a> or buy it on <a href="https://raydium.io/swap/?from=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&amp;to=6Dujewcxn1qCd6rcj448SXQL9YYqTcqZCNQdCn3xJAKS">raydium.io</a>. One lottery entry will cost 500 $ARTE. However, for the first week after the lottery release, we prepared the special <strong>20% discount, </strong>which means that between 03/06 and 03/13 you will be able to buy lottery entries for <strong>400 $ARTE</strong>.</p><p>The lottery will have a form of a fortune wheel and will have an instant draw results system. What does that mean? It means that if you pay for your ticket, you will know right after the ‘spinning’ what is your prize. We believe that is the fairest and most transparent way to do a NFT lottery. The total supply of the lottery tickets is <strong>10,000, </strong>the lottery will be available until sold-out of all tickets.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/663/1*xLfvmJ1hjdn-ly3D02GHsw.png" /><figcaption>Lottery “fortune wheel” — Remember that the size of the prizes is not proportional to the odds! (there is only one ArtPunks Alien in the prize pool and 3500 Ana Maria Edulescu IRL Painting Raffle tickets).</figcaption></figure><p>Below the “Spin to win” button you will be able to check what prizes left in the prize pool. The remaining prizes list will be updated every 24 hours, around 6:00 PM UTC.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4brssnMHp2arKrdjZH47QQ.png" /><figcaption>Lottery wheel &amp; Remaining prizes table</figcaption></figure><p>Below the lottery wheel, you will be able to check your prizes in 50 last plays and also their transactions (for prizes that require sending a transaction).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*o4RQRzm58j_GF_sKMD8MJw.png" /><figcaption>Your recent plays table</figcaption></figure><p>Prizes like $ARTE, ArtPunks, FramesNFT and Paint Palettes should be transferred to you around 1 minute after you win. Tickets for IRL paintings raffle will be saved in our database and we won’t be sending them to you in any way (learn more below).</p><p>You can check transaction status by clicking “Transaction” from recent plays. If Solana will be congested, the lottery can return “timeout”, in this case your $ARTE wouldn’t be withdrawn. Timeouts won’t be registered in “Your recent plays”. In case of any problems with the lottery, our support will be available on our <a href="http://discord.gg/artpunks">Discord</a>.</p><p><strong>2. Prizepool</strong></p><p>In our first lottery we focused strictly on prizes from our Ecosystem and that will be:</p><ul><li>1 ArtPunks Alien, estimated value 100–150 $SOL</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/proxy/1*J19oKNFDYq9IzN5nvg7DCw.png" /><figcaption>Alien from the lottery prize pool</figcaption></figure><ul><li>1 ArtPunks Zombie, estimated value 40 $SOL</li><li>100x ArtPunks NFT, floor 5.5 $SOL</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*IAQxtxVICFdsgA4UN1co6A.png" /><figcaption>Sample ArtPunks from the prize pool</figcaption></figure><ul><li>50x FramesNFT, floor 1 $SOL</li><li>25x Paint Palette NFT, estimated value 20,000 $ARTE (each)</li><li>500x 500 $ARTE</li><li>300x 1,000 $ARTE</li><li>200x 1,500 $ARTE</li><li>40x 2,500 $ARTE</li><li>5x 10,000 $ARTE</li><li>3500x Raffle ticket for IRL painting of your ArtPunk created on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGHkZahKFuY&amp;ab_channel=ArtPunksNFT">live stream</a>. Your raffle ticket will be saved in our database, after the lottery, we will announce how many raffle tickets won each address. A few weeks after the lottery we will make a live stream on which we will draw the winner of this IRL painting through addresses who won raffle tickets.</li><li>3500x Raffle ticket for <a href="https://edulescu-ana-maria.pixels.com/">Anna Maria Edeluescu</a> IRL painting of ArtPunk. Your raffle ticket will be saved in our database, after the lottery, we will announce how many raffle tickets won each address. A few weeks after the lottery we will make a live stream on which we will draw the winner of this IRL painting through addresses who won raffle tickets.</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*kIB_8JUH5e-PcIFl63P-oQ.png" /><figcaption>ArtPunk by <a href="https://edulescu-ana-maria.pixels.com/">Anna Maria Edeluescu</a></figcaption></figure><p>At the current floor price and $SOL and $ARTE price, the prize pool is worth over <strong>$200.000</strong>!</p><p><strong>3. Lottery impact on $ARTE token and its price.</strong></p><p>Many of you are for sure thinking about what impact the lottery may have for the $ARTE price and its supply. As we already mentioned above tickets supply is 10.000 which means that approx 4–5M $ARTE will be burned forever! It is more than the current $ARTE circulating supply! This will be strong support for $ARTE price because if $ARTE price will be going down in the future, then will be more profitable to buy the lottery tickets and $ARTE value will be going up again.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/828/1*1_tVwzVB-9f4grJ6Z5PdUQ.png" /><figcaption>$ARTE token utilities.</figcaption></figure><p>We hope that our lottery with really nice prizes and a high ticket winning ratio will bring a lot of joy and fun to all participants and ArtPunks Family members at first. Good luck to everyone and remember to play responsibly!</p><p>In case of any problems with the lottery, our support will be available on our <a href="http://discord.gg/artpunks">Discord</a>.</p><p><strong>Links:<br></strong><a href="https://linktr.ee/artpunks">https://linktr.ee/artpunks</a><br><strong>Community</strong><br><a href="https://discord.com/invite/ArtPunks">https://discord.com/invite/ArtPunks</a><br><strong>Twitters<br></strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ArtPunksNFT">https://twitter.com/ArtPunksNFT</a><a href="https://twitter.com/nft_frames"><br>https://twitter.com/nft_frame</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/NfthodlZone">https://twitter.com/NfthodlZone</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/ArtpunksFamily">https://twitter.com/ArtpunksFamily</a><br><strong>Websites</strong><br><a href="https://nfthodl.zone/">https://nfthodl.zone/</a><br><a href="https://artpunks.fun/">https://artpunks.fun/</a><br><a href="https://frames-nft.com/your-frames">https://frames-nft.com/your-frames</a><br><strong>Marketplaces</strong><br><a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">https://magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks</a><br><a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/framesnft">https://magiceden.io/marketplace/framesnft</a><br><strong>Rarity</strong><br><a href="https://howrare.is/artpunks">https://howrare.is/artpunks</a><br><a href="https://howrare.is/framesnft/">https://howrare.is/framesnft/</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=80ddea06eff6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello ArtPunks Family!</p><p>That was a crazy week, our floor skyrocketed from <a href="https://www.magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">2 SOL to 8 SOL</a>! Congratulations fam! We have to keep low listings and it will be only the beginning. Today we have for you an article about one of the <a href="https://arte-token.com/">$ARTE</a> utilities, Paint Palettes…</p><p>A few days ago the Paint Palette auctions started, the first two Paint Palettes auctions burned 70,500 $ARTE (~$10,000). The third auction ends in one hour, the current highest bid is 33,300 $ARTE. In this article, you will find all the most important information about Paint Palettes and their auctions.</p><p><strong>Introduction to Paint Palettes</strong></p><p>ArtPunks Paint Palette is a special NFT thanks to which, the holder will be able to change the style of their ArtPunk, which will make it even more unique. The rank of your modified ArtPunk will remain unchanged. However, your ArtPunk will receive the special attribute, “Enhanced”. As a result, your ArtPunk will have an additional feature that distinguishes it from the entire collection, which will easily translate into its uniqueness and could increase its price/value.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FLDjbSsCd_PQ%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLDjbSsCd_PQ&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLDjbSsCd_PQ%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/d1b487d6e8298ca4ae3636d2d7fde661/href">https://medium.com/media/d1b487d6e8298ca4ae3636d2d7fde661/href</a></iframe><p>Paint Palettes have a very low supply and will be obtainable in a few ways:</p><ul><li><a href="https://art-punk.gitbook.io/usdarte-token/utilities/raffle">Huge $ARTE Raffle</a> (25 Paint Palettes)</li><li>Auctions (65 Paint Palettes)</li><li>Giveaways &amp; Contests (10 Paint Palettes)</li></ul><p>This way, holders will be able to get <strong>100 </strong>Paint Palettes related to <strong>25</strong> unique styles.

You can suggest painting from which Paint Palette should be created on the “suggest an art” Discord channel. In the next week, we will start the voting for the best suggestions, the authors of the fifteen suggestions with the most votes will receive <strong>3k $ARTE </strong>each!</p><p>As mentioned each Paint Palette will have one of 25 different styles, there will be more and less rare styles. Some styles will have only one Paint Palette with its style and will be most unique. The most common style will have 10 corresponding to them Paint Palettes. In auctions, holders bid <strong>Unrevealed Paint Palettes</strong>, and they find out styles of their palettes after “Paint Palettes Reveal”, details are described below.</p><p><strong>Paint Palettes Auctions</strong></p><p>Auctions take place on our Discord special channel in the verified Grape category (🍇︱🎨︱paint-palettes-auctions). On which auction you can put your bids to get <strong>one Unrevealed Paint Palette</strong>, this means that one winner will get a special NFT which will be revealed in <strong>mid-March</strong>. Before that time winners will not know which Paint Palette style they won. A few days before revealing, Unrevealed Paint Palettes will be added on the marketplace (probably Magic Eden).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/360/1*_qKCL3M702hVs2H8BZF42Q.gif" /><figcaption>Unrevealed Paint Palette NFT graphic</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Paint Palettes Schedule:</strong></p><ul><li>02/14–03/14 — One Unrevealed Paint Palette Auction every 2 days</li><li>~03/10 — Marketplace listing</li><li>~03/17 — Paint Palettes reveal!</li><li>~03/24 — Paint Palettes Transformation System Release!</li><li>After 03/24 — Next Paint Palettes auctions (revealed)</li></ul><p><strong>Auctions Details &amp; Rules:</strong></p><ul><li>Each auction time: 24h (start 10 PM UTC)</li><li>Each auction initial price: 1000 $ARTE</li><li>Minimum bid difference: 200 $ARTE</li><li>Auction starts every two days at 10:00 PM UTC</li><li>On the auction channel, we only allow bidding — people who will be spamming or disturbing the auction will be muted for 24h on all Discord channels or even permanently banned.

If you want to learn more about $ARTE, check out our <a href="https://art-punk.gitbook.io/usdarte-token/">litepaper</a>.</p><p>Remember, the price of the token can be very volatile at the launch! It will probably settle down after about 1 hour. When you trade right after you launch, you do it at your own risk!</p><p>Hard Facts:</p><p>When: <strong>Between 8 PM and 10 PM UTC</strong></p><p>Where: <a href="https://raydium.io/swap/?from=11111111111111111111111111111111&amp;to=6Dujewcxn1qCd6rcj448SXQL9YYqTcqZCNQdCn3xJAKS"><strong>Raydium DEX</strong></a></p><p>Initial price: <strong>$0.01</strong></p><p>Token address: <strong>6Dujewcxn1qCd6rcj448SXQL9YYqTcqZCNQdCn3xJAKS</strong></p><p>Initial liquidity pool: 20,000 USDC &amp; 2,000,000 $ARTE</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/828/1*1_tVwzVB-9f4grJ6Z5PdUQ.png" /><figcaption>Utilities of $ARTE token!</figcaption></figure><p><strong>3. Launch of ArtPunks Staking Platform (10 PM UTC)</strong></p><p>We have been waiting a long time for this to happen! Finally, ArtPunks NFTs will become stakeable and every holder will be able to earn passive income in $ARTE tokens for their staked ArtPunks.</p><p>How much $ARTE each ArtPunk earns will depend on its “Restoration Grade”:</p><ul><li>Restoration Grade “None”: <strong>5 $ARTE</strong> per day (default starting level for all ArtPunks)</li><li>Restoration Grade “Standard”: <strong>10 $ARTE</strong> per day</li><li>Restoration Grade “Excellent”: 2<strong>0 $ARTE</strong> per day</li></ul><p>To stake your ArtPunks you will need to go on the <a href="https://arte-token.com/">$ARTE website</a> and click on “Staking”</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/975/1*BA8sMmbK5Cz6p2QymRDe5g.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://arte-token.com/">https://arte-token.com/</a></figcaption></figure><p>The staking procedure will be very easy, you will only need to click “Stake All” and approve the transaction. You can also stake your ArtPunks one by one if you want. Each staking transaction costs a fee of around 0.0035~ SOL, this fee is going to Solana, we are not charging any fee for us.</p><p>Staking will not change your achievements “holding period”, however we need to update NFThodlZone first, so in the first few days after staking start achievements minting could be unavailable, everything will come back to normal in a few days.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*k5mCEo77E9qAyST7iMW6Kg.jpeg" /><figcaption>Our staking platform.</figcaption></figure><p>There could be some small bugs on the platform right after its release.

Restoration System launch (11th February, 8:00 PM UTC)</strong></p><p>The restoration system that is also known as the upgrade system, will start working on Friday at 8:00 PM UTC.

You can read more about Restoration System in <a href="https://art-punk.gitbook.io/usdarte-token/utilities/artpunks-restoration-system">litepaper</a>.</p><p>The Restoration System will be released on the <a href="https://arte-token.com/">$ARTE website</a>. We want to reward our early adopters therefore in the first week there will be a 10% discount for all upgrades and also there will be no 1 or 2 days delay period (lockup), in the first week Restoration will be instant. Besides the $ARTE fee, successful restoration will also require SOL fee (around 0.025 SOL) for updating the NFT on the blockchain, and for decentralized storage.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*YaQc9gxyEwFBTiFubPSv8w.png" /><figcaption>Upgrade system from level 0 to level 1.</figcaption></figure><p><strong>5. The first Paint Palette auction (12nd-13rd February)</strong></p><p>ArtPunks Paint Palettes will be special NFTs by which the holder will be able to change the style of their ArtPunk, which will make it even more unique. The rank of your modified ArtPunk will remain unchanged. However, your ArtPunk will receive the special attribute, “Enhanced”.

Read more about them in our <a href="https://art-punk.gitbook.io/usdarte-token/utilities/artpunks-paint-palette">litepaper</a>.</p><p>The next weekend, we want to start the first auction of these Paint Palette NFTs!

Our official token of the <a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">ArtPunksNFT collection</a> will launch very soon (scheduled for 8th February). It will be an ‘ArtPunk ecosystem’ token with many different interesting utilities. The most important information about the token and one of its utilities, we described earlier in these two articles:</p><ul><li><a href="https://medium.com/@artpunknft/introduction-of-arte-official-artpunks-ecosystem-token-b58922676cef">Introduction of $ARTE — official ArtPunks ecosystem token!</a></li><li><a href="https://medium.com/@artpunknft/introduction-to-the-artpunks-restoration-system-25b3a926afc2">Introduction to the ArtPunks Restoration System!</a></li></ul><p>In this article, we cover the next three $ARTE utilities: Lotteries, VR gallery and Paint Palettes. All of them will burn all $ARTE tokens used, reducing supply and increasing its value.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*UmtJ90KuOh_o9XVg-gpr6g.jpeg" /><figcaption>$ARTE utilities</figcaption></figure><ol><li><strong>Lotteries.</strong></li></ol><p>After our token and ArtPunks staking launch. We will start to organize lotteries for our beloved holders. $ARTE token will be used to enter lotteries, and in February we will launch the first lottery with a prize pool of over <strong>$25,000!</strong> All tokens paid for lottery tickets will be <strong>BURNED forever</strong>, decreasing supply, and increasing token value! The lottery will be available on our website. Details about the first lottery are below. Feel free to claim a ticket! Try your luck!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*J19oKNFDYq9IzN5nvg7DCw.png" /><figcaption>ArtPunk from the prize pool — Alien, rank 76, estimated value 30 SOL</figcaption></figure><p><strong>The first $ARTE lottery details:</strong></p><p><strong>Ticket price:</strong> 500 $ARTE</p><p><strong>Ticket supply:</strong> 10,000</p><p><strong>Prizes pool (~$25,000):</strong></p><ul><li>100 ArtPunks</li><li>25 FramesNFT</li><li>25 Paint Palettes</li><li>1,000,000 $ARTE</li></ul><p>In addition to lotteries in which you will be able to win NFT and $ARTE, from time to time we will organize real-world fine art lotteries:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*ppwZ2321qs2anMc9" /><figcaption>ArtPunk by <a href="https://twitter.com/AnaEdulescu">Ana Maria Edulescu</a></figcaption></figure><p><strong>2. VR gallery, ArtPunkVerse</strong></p><p>We are working constructively with our devs to let our holders put their steps into ArtPunkVerse where they will be able to watch and calmly stare at ArtPunks masterpieces and in the future other collections as well! Gallery will also play an educational role — in the case of ArtPunks, people who enter the gallery will be able to find out interesting information about the paintings and artists on which ArtPunks were based.</p><p>Gallery users will be able to buy tickets and their own rooms only with a $ARTE token! Check a little preview of what is about to come in the below video!</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FzuGDh9ZZUxk%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DzuGDh9ZZUxk&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzuGDh9ZZUxk%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/4fb66e35cf5a8b2bb8389dd3fadab802/href">https://medium.com/media/4fb66e35cf5a8b2bb8389dd3fadab802/href</a></iframe><p><strong>3) ArtPunks Paint Palette (Serum)</strong></p><p>Surprise for our holders! We want to introduce you to the utility of $ARTE, which we have not mentioned yet. ArtPunks Paint Palette will be a special NFT based on the idea of “Serum” from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (one of the most popular NFT projects). However Paint Palettes <strong>do not create new NFTs</strong>, they <strong>modify the style of current ArtPunks</strong>! Holders of ArtPunks will be able to use Paint Palette to change the style of their ArtPunk, which will make it even more unique. The rank of your modified ArtPunk will remain unchanged. However, your ArtPunk will receive the special attribute, “Curated” in metadata. As a result, your ArtPunk will have an additional feature that distinguishes it from the entire collection, which will easily translate into its uniqueness and could increase its price/value. The styles that Paint Palettes will contain will be chosen by the community.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*OjW8SFKuJJetUqrCrBngtw.png" /><figcaption>ArtPunks Paint Pallete work mechanism (Roy Lichtenstein painting used)</figcaption></figure><p>Paint Palletes will have a very low supply and will be obtainable in a few ways:</p><ul><li>Lotteries</li><li>Auctions for $ARTE</li><li>Elite Giveaway for ArtPunks holders</li></ul><p>Through these ways, holders will be able to get <strong>100 </strong>Paint Palettes<strong> </strong>related to <strong>25</strong> unique styles. After Landscapes NFT mint, holders will also be able to get ArtPunks Paint Palettes by sending their Landscape NFT to exhibition (more details about this utility will be available in the next article and $ARTE lite paper). The first Paint Pallet auctions are planned for March. ArtPunks Paint Palletes will be tradeable, but we do not specify when we will list them on marketplaces.</p><p>Some of you could be wondering why we want to modify current ArtPunks instead of creating new NFTs in the new collection, there are several arguments for this solution:</p><ul><li>We do not want to increase the supply of NFTs in our collection because it would decrease the value of ArtPunks.</li><li>We want to add more styles and artists to our collection. And also involve the community in selecting them.</li><li>We want to reduce the number of ArtPunks with the most common styles in our collection, that are mostly listed around floor prices. With Paint Palettes, you will be able to buy ArtPunk with the most common style in the collection and turn it into something unique.</li></ul><p><strong>Summary</strong></p><p>Most of our plans for the $ARTE token have been explained between this article and the previous two articles. However, there is more to come! We will reveal the upcoming Landscape NFTs in our next article, one of the most important uses of the $ARTE token.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello art Fam! As you may already know we are working hard right now on staking system for ArtPunks (later also achievements) and <a href="https://medium.com/@artpunknft/introduction-of-arte-official-artpunks-ecosystem-token-b58922676cef"><strong>$ARTE token</strong></a> creation and distribution! In this article, we would like to shortly focus on the <strong>ArtPunks Restoration System</strong> which will be available for ArtPunk holders shortly after our utility token release which is scheduled for <strong>8th February</strong>!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*UmtJ90KuOh_o9XVg-gpr6g.jpeg" /><figcaption>Some of the $ARTE token utilities!</figcaption></figure><p>As mentioned above after our token release ArtPunks holders will be able to stake and “restore” their ArtPunks. “Restoration” is a gamified name for Artpunks upgrade. Upgraded ArtPunks will look the same as normal ones but will produce more $ARTE from staking. Each ArtPunk will start at level 0 and will produce 5 $ARTE per day. After upgrades, this number can increase to a maximum of 20 $ARTE per day. All tokens used for upgrades will be burned, reducing supply, and increasing $ARTE value. Below we present how much $ARTE ArtPunks will produce at each level:</p><ul><li>Level 0: <strong>5 $ARTE</strong> per day</li><li>Level 1: <strong>10 $ARTE</strong> per day</li><li>Level 2: <strong>20 $ARTE</strong> per day</li></ul><p>As you can see, the amount of $ARTE produced depends only on the ArtPunk level, it is not influenced by rank or other ArtPunk attributes. We want to increase the value of less rare ArtPunks by this. However more rare ArtPunks enable holders to <a href="https://medium.com/@artpunknft/achievements-minting-release-eab8f2cb63e6">mint achievements</a> that will also produce $ ARTE via staking. More rare ArtPunks will have also special boosts related to the next $ARTE utility — PaintingNFTs! More details soon :)</p><p>ArtPunk level will be stored in NFT metadata but will not affect ArtPunk rank.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/972/1*5tbUoHMrQR2sQVY0jbSpXw.png" /><figcaption>ArtPunks staking webpage (release 02/08)</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Restoration Process</strong></p><p>ArtPunks Restoration will take place on our website, there you will see all your ArtPunks and you will be able to choose which one you want to upgrade. After selecting an ArtPunk, you will have to burn the appropriate amount of $ARTE tokens, depending on the type of restoration and the level to which you want to upgrade the ArtPunk. You will have two types of restoration to choose from: “Amateur Restoration” or “Advanced Restoration”. The first one will be cheaper, but will only have a 20% success rate, in case of failure, you will be able to try again, but you will lose used $ARTE. The second will be more expensive and will have an 80% success rate. It will be up to you whether you prefer to risk or not :)</p><p>ArtPunks will be locked during the upgrade time (for 1 or 2 days), during this time you will not be able to stake it or list it for sale. After the locked period, you will be able to claim your upgraded (or not) ArtPunk from our webpage. In case of failure, you will have to try again. Good luck!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4vNZ7QZTjeocVrBAvgLr1A.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VutUd_SfuDYZPcc8_LMziA.png" /><figcaption>Infographics about ArtPunks Restoration Process (on the left, level 0-&gt;1, on the right, level 1-&gt;2)</figcaption></figure><p><strong>$ARTE utilities</strong></p><p>Ok, so I will be able to spend airdropped/produced $ARTE to upgrade ArtPunks to produce more $ARTE, but what next?</p><p>$ARTE will have many utilities and in all of them, $ARTE will be burned. Soon after the $ARTE trading release, you will be able to use it to buy tickets in NFT and real art lotteries. In March we will release ArtPunkVerse Gallery which will be later integrated with the $ARTE token. However, the utility for which you should produce, buy and hold $ARTE the most is LandscapesNFT — interactive, gamified NFT, that will have a very low supply and will be available to mint only for $ARTE tokens. It will also give ArtPunks certain new utilities and will be combined with the ArtPunk burning mechanism — lowering ArtPunks supply and increasing its value.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Introduction of the $ARTE — official ArtPunks ecosystem token!</h3><p><strong>1) Token creation </strong>— $ARTE token — the official token of ArtPunksNFT ecosystem was successfully created and it’s waiting on #solana blockchain proudly until we finish and check if the staking smart contract is fully interoperable and safe to use for everyone (scheduled for <strong>February 8th, 2022</strong> to be done).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/473/1*gPTv9kZUEzjwN7MDiic0mQ.png" /><figcaption>Ready to go!</figcaption></figure><p>From today until the token distribution start we will publish further information about $ARTE tokenomics, distribution, airdrops and utilities. We will also soon publish the lite paper for the $ARTE token and its own brand-new website. As you may already know one of the $ARTE utilities will be a rewarding system to loyal holders of ArtPunks NFTs and Achievements NFTs. You would be able to stake both NFTs to get rewards in $ARTE for this! Each staked ArtPunk and Achievement will produce $ARTE tokens. We will publish more details soon!</p><p><strong>2) Main utilities of the $ARTE token will be:</strong></p><ul><li>ArtPunks Restoration (Upgrades system) — available for all ArtPunks</li><li>Art-Lotteries (with quality prizes)</li><li>ArtPunksVerse Integration (VR art gallery also available in web browsers and mobiles)</li><li>Landscapes NFT — burning &amp; breeding mechanism</li><li>Art Fractionalization (in future)</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*UmtJ90KuOh_o9XVg-gpr6g.jpeg" /><figcaption>Some of the $ARTE utilities.</figcaption></figure><p>In all of the mentioned above utilities, used $ARTE tokens will be completely burned — reducing its supply and increasing its value!</p><p>We will publish more details about each utility in the coming weeks.

Each snapshot will award you <strong>50</strong> $ARTE per ArtPunk. So if your ArtPunk is delisted throughout whole this period, you will receive <strong>200</strong> $ARTE tokens for each delisted ArtPunk!</p><p>Having more tokens right after $ARTE’s release will be very beneficial, as some of the utilities will have special, discounted prices in the first week after token distribution, staking and trading starts!</p><p>Better delist your ArtPunks as soon as possible to be included in the first secret snapshot.

The ArtPunks collection is the first project that holders will get benefits from a unique achievement system, about which you can learn more in this article.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FPdIn7frMrcs%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPdIn7frMrcs&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPdIn7frMrcs%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/610bb68a795c868ce40cabb3710850af/href">https://medium.com/media/610bb68a795c868ce40cabb3710850af/href</a></iframe><ol><li><strong>What is the achievement system?</strong></li></ol><p>The achievements system is intended to reward holders for holding their NFTs in their wallets (for now would be available only for ArtPunks collection) and not listing them for sale on marketplaces.

As an ArtPunk holder, you will be able to mint another cool-looking NFTs for free if you meet the needed requirements. In early February, we will also release achievements staking, which will add massive utility to achievements NFTs!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4NfBViRmXicQ8ATk37ZhlA.png" /><figcaption>Some examples of achievements (more details below)</figcaption></figure><p>2. <strong>Who is eligible to mint achievements and what kind of achievements we implemented?</strong></p><p>Achievements will be available for all Artpunks holders who meet the specified requirements (different for each achievement). However, for each of the achievements the most important requirement is time how long you hold your Artpunks. Each achievement is available in 5 types:</p><ul><li>Metal — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a week.</li><li>Bronze — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a month.</li><li>Silver — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for 3 months.</li><li>Gold — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a year.</li><li>Diamond — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for 3 years.</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/391/1*xBWmlBaTk4N6PYhYBPvBVA.png" /><figcaption>The frame of the achievement is in the color depends on how long you hold specified NFT.</figcaption></figure><p>A better type of achievement means more tokens from staking that we are going to implement in early February.</p><p>Other, different for each achievement, requirements that holders must meet to be able to mint them are:</p><p>1) How many ArtPunks you hold in your wallet:</p><p>3 — Fish holder achievement</p><p>10 — Dolphin holder achievement</p><p>50 — Shark holder achievement</p><p>100 — Whale holder achievement</p><p>200 — Humpback holder achievement</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/551/1*QT3tDGPKL9EvXk_MFMNSlw.png" /><figcaption>Fish, dolphin, shark, whale and humpback achievements #NFTs</figcaption></figure><p>2) Which art movement do your ArtPunks NFTs represent:</p><p>E.g. surrealism collector, street art collector, romanticism collector, etc.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1WprcU9biBnOuz2dMfA9bQ.png" /><figcaption>Examples of art-movement achievements.</figcaption></figure><p>3) Which painting authors you have collected:</p><p>E.g.

For now, there would be 220 achievements implemented and in the future, that number will grow even more! New achievements to add will be chosen each month by our community! We hope all of you gonna enjoy collecting new NFTs and holding them to get more achievements NFTs as true ART collectors!</p><p>3. <strong>How to mint achievements?</strong></p><p>To mint your achievements open our website: <a href="https://nfthodl.zone/">https://nfthodl.zone/</a>, connect your wallet, and click the “ACHIEVEMENTS”<strong> </strong>tab. Click on the achievements that you would like to mint and check that are you eligible to do it. If yes, click the “Mint” button.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/787/1*lngki-mdU9gLpZAXUXAWuQ.png" /><figcaption>How to mint ArtPunks achievements?</figcaption></figure><p>Confirm that you want to mint an achievement and confirm the first transaction (NFT image upload to Arweave storage &amp; NFT data upload to Solana blockchain).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZNaLStjzy5NeF8JSCdmZKQ.png" /><figcaption>Approve the first transaction (NFT image upload to Arweave storage &amp; NFT data upload to Solana blockchain)</figcaption></figure><p>Wait around 10–60 seconds and approve the second transaction (transfer your achievement NFT to your wallet address).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_FUHFH0NWtyZ1386gea7EA.png" /><figcaption>Approve the second transaction (transfer your achievement NFT to your wallet address)</figcaption></figure><p>If everything goes well you will get this pop up:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/519/1*kvSB_sL0xs6fSbs1ThHCAg.png" /><figcaption>Achievement minted pop up</figcaption></figure><p>Achievements minting cost Solana &amp; Arweave NFT minting fee ~0.015 $SOL per achievement. We do not charge any commission from minting, these fees go only to Solana’s validators and to the decentralized Arweave file storage.</p><p>In recent days the Solana blockchain has been slightly overloaded, therefore achievement polling may be slow and failed transactions may occur. If the achievement minting process will be very slow, we recommend waiting a few hours or trying to mint achievements tomorrow.</p><p>4. <strong>Achievements Utilities.</strong></p><p>The main utility achievements will be staking — it will be available in early February. Better types of achievements — silver, gold, diamond, will give more ArtPunk tokens than metal or bronze achievements. All details about the ArtPunks token, ArtPunk staking, and staking achievements will be revealed in the coming weeks.</p><p><strong>Links:<br></strong><a href="https://linktr.ee/artpunks">https://linktr.ee/artpunks</a><br><strong>Community</strong><br><a href="https://discord.com/invite/ArtPunks">https://discord.com/invite/ArtPunks</a><br><strong>Twitter<br></strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ArtPunksNFT">https://twitter.com/ArtPunksNFT</a><a href="https://twitter.com/nft_frames"><br></a><a href="https://twitter.com/nft_frames">https://twitter.com/nft_frame</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/NfthodlZone">https://twitter.com/NfthodlZone</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/ArtpunksFamily">https://twitter.com/ArtpunksFamily</a><br><strong>Websites</strong><br><a href="https://nfthodl.zone/">https://nfthodl.zone/</a><br><a href="https://artpunks.fun/">https://artpunks.fun/</a><br><a href="https://frames-nft.com/your-frames">https://frames-nft.com/your-frames</a><br><strong>Marketplace</strong><br><a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks">https://magiceden.io/marketplace/artpunks</a><br><a href="https://magiceden.io/marketplace/framesnft">https://magiceden.io/marketplace/framesnft</a><br><strong>Rarity</strong><br><a href="https://howrare.is/artpunks">https://howrare.is/artpunks</a><br><a href="https://howrare.is/framesnft/">https://howrare.is/framesnft/</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=eab8f2cb63e6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>#Frames10k Contest — ArtPunks and FramesNFT <em>Competition </em>with over $10,000 Prize Pool: All You Need to Know!</strong></h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*SKDzjEjJy_wjY-Q8.jpg" /></figure><h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3><p>Frames NFT, a collection of 3,019 unique NFTs, was conceptualized not only to complement the ArtPunks project that came before it, but to integrate all NFTs and communities as a collective group to celebrate art, and its integration with technology. Frames NFT aims to delight its holders and honor creative expression in society by providing a gallery environment within an NFT. Holders can showcase any Solana or Ethereum NFT they desire on a dedicated wall that has varying attributes, frame counts/types — all with different rarities!</p><p>Frames NFT’s predecessor and partner in changing the Solana NFT environment, ArtPunks (another NFT collection that combines elements of famous paintings with CryptoPunks, one of the first and most prominent NFTs), was groundbreaking in its utilization of AI technology and the blockchain to create 10,000 unique NFTs that emphasize the value of art, its history and artistic expression.</p><p>To celebrate these values, which are central to both projects, we are holding a <em>#Frames10k Competition, </em>which will offer a significant prize pool totaling over $10,000 — with the Top 32 entrants winning varying USDC prizes, and the Top 8 qualifying for additional NFT prizes as well as USDC! Winners will be selected by a community vote, which will determine the most popular Frames galleries that contain at least one ArtPunk and any other combination of Solana or Ethereum NFTs from the entrant’s collection.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lccaF2ZELfFUH7g-uiLtcQ.png" /><figcaption>FrameNFT #983 with SMB #3081, ArtPunk #6784 and CryptoPhunk #6869</figcaption></figure><h3><strong>1.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The Frames NFT Collection: Minting, Roadmap, and All You Need To Know About Displaying Your Passion for Solana NFTs in a Whole New Way!</h3><p><strong>Editor: </strong><a href="http://www.twitter.com/maddieroseseth"><strong>@maddierosesETH</strong></a></p><p><strong>Publisher: </strong><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ArtPunksNFT"><strong>ArtPunks</strong></a></p><p><strong>Date: November 17th, 2021</strong></p><p>We have seen many different concepts spring to life on the Solana Network and within the NFT realm altogether. This space is filled with wonder and discovery, which is something the team at ArtPunks wishes to promote and bring together all the communities that make up the Solana NFT ecosystem. As we know, Solana NFTs are a new addition to the blockchain and have seen massive growth and creation since their inception, with this only being the beginning and a small fraction of what is to come. The most important aspect of it all is the communities that make this all possible. In celebration of this, the ArtPunks team has worked hard to create the Frames NFT project, a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs on the Solana Network. Not only will the Frames work to honor innovation, inclusivity, teamwork, community pride, and the NFT space as a whole, but it will offer many benefits to its holders, as well as Solana NFT communities and the Artpunks community members.</p><p><strong>Frames Overview</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*Z71S5QFXxMoJha_I" /></figure><p>As mentioned, there will be a total of 10,000 Frames NFTs available at mint. Each NFT will be unique with varying rarity ranks, consist of different attributes, have anywhere from one to five frames, and all will feature a wall on which the frames hang. Each Frame will contain different styles of frames, various walls, floors, positions, sculptures, flowers, and other objects. It is almost like getting to own your very own art room in a style that suits you best. Even better, the Frames can hold any Solana NFT that you want! Holders can choose and arrange their favorite NFTs to be featured in the frames and then download it to be utilized and shown off on their socials! This is where the inclusivity and bringing communities together comes in, as you can use your frames for any of your favorite NFTs, not only Artpunks!</p><p><strong>Video Presentation: How to Use The Frames NFTs</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewOlES85rvw&amp;ab_channel=ArtPunksNFT"><strong>Video Presentation Link</strong></a></p><p>The above link will redirect you to our official youtube video that shows an introduction to utilizing your Frames NFT in its new revolutionary way! First, you will have to connect your wallet to the website, and it will allow the system to fetch the user’s NFT information from their wallet to verify the NFTs they are holding. All of the user’s Frames NFTs will be displayed on the right as shown in the video, and you can click on these Frames to then load them with any NFT that you own in your wallet. Once you have framed your favorite NFTs to display, the video also shows how users can download their “personal galleries” as twitter banners or as each Frame separately with their chosen framed NFT to use as their PFP! Not only do you get to proudly display your favorite NFTs in beautiful Frames, but they will offer new functionalities to show off your creations to the world in style! Choose to show your entire gallery all in one area, or the NFT you love the most, the choice is yours! Community pride has never been so fun and aesthetic.</p><p><strong>Minting Phase</strong></p><p>After many fun activities before minting to celebrate the launch (giveaways, competitions, youtube videos, and prizes), the Frames collection minting phase will officially commence on November 27th, 2021, at 11:00 PM UTC for the public. However, ArtPunks members will be automatically whitelisted and able to mint 24 hours prior with each ArtPunk they own equaling one Frame whitelist spot (e.g., 5 ArtPunks = eligible to mint 5 Frames). The minting price for each Frame will be 0.5 SOL, with rarity rankings being released the day of mint for reference. You best be quick to grab a Frame or two because minting will only be available for 24 hours after public begins, and once time has elapsed, if, in the event, any remains, they will be burned forever! The team also plans to get the collection listed on Solana marketplace(s) as soon as possible.</p><p><strong>Post-Mint Roadmap</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*ATkuiO-M-pxAS5ZH" /></figure><p>Once minting ends, then the fun can truly begin. First, the tools for Frames will be launched shortly following, which will allow holders to put their NFTs into their brand-new shiny frames, download them and use them for twitter banners, PFPS, and more! After this, Frames will be listed on NFTHodlZone alongside its fellow Solana communities, and holders will be able to utilize the tools offered there to take their Frames to the next level and earn free Achievement NFTs based on their collected pieces and duration of holding their NFTs. The addition of the Frames to the existing ArtPunks DAO will take place once all has been established that will work to continuously benefit all involved and allow the community to decide the paths the community wants to travel with the project. After all, what is a project without the voice of its community? Excitingly, there will also be a massive competition that will reward the individual with the best-designed “Frames’’ room with USD 10,000 in the prize pool! And finally, the project will establish a fully functional way to view and use the Frames collection (with its chosen NFTs, of course) in VR! For now, these are the plans, but the project never intends to stop innovating. As we progress, more ideas and implementations will be added to the roadmap based on the community’s desires and the ever-changing realm of NFTs and blockchain technology.</p><p><strong>Even More Benefits?</strong></p><p>The collective ArtPunks holders are entitled to receive 15% of the minting proceeds. If you hold ArtPunks(s), they must be delisted from secondary marketplaces, and you will be given a share of 15%. The more you have, the more significant the percentage you receive! How much you receive of the Frames’ profits depends on the rank of your ArtPunks, as ArtPunks with higher ranks will get a larger share of the profits, as shown in the table below. Therefore, if you own an ArtPunk with a rank from 0 to 99, you will get 3.125 times more profits than an owner of an ArtPunk with a rank from 7500 to 9999.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/794/1*aFCO5jRhMJinS2YybUCPpA.png" /></figure><p>Also, 10% of minting proceeds will be given to the Frames holders too! So if you buy some Frame(s), you will automatically be eligible for your share of the minting profits. 10% of the minting proceeds will be sent to the ArtPunks/Frames DAO, and 5% of the resales will also be sent to the DAO for future development and community decisions on the entire ecosystem. 150 of the Frames will be reserved for marketing purposes and other methods to benefit the project. Frames will be the link that brings together the entire Solana NFT ecosystem while also providing unique utility to those in the community.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/328/0*TQS6kHonkjzokYRC.jpg" /></figure><p>Finally, a project that benefits not only the project but also opens the doors to anyone in the Solana space who wishes to be a part of it somehow. The Frames collection takes care of its community and extends a welcoming hand to anyone passionate about the space and proud to be an early member of this blossoming field.
