1/ Sometimes, there is god in the algorithm. Certain outputs are so sublime and unexpected. That in a thousand different timelines, no such likeness exists. Why Fidenza 938 is named "God Mode"
And why
@CozomoMedici
just bought a big portion of it at $8.5M (2500ETH) valuation 👇
Just brokered the first 4-digit
@artblocks_io
sale at 1,000ETH ($3.3M)
I present to you
@tylerxhobbs
Fidenza 313, 🌷 "The Tulip" 🌷. A remarkably beautiful and memorable onchain artifact now owned by legend
@punk6529
. Unmistakably one of the top 5 Fidenzas
Now vaulted forever
Just brokered the first Fidenza to be sold on
@LooksRareNFT
, for 125e (~$420K). Fidenza 123 is one of the weirdest and most interesting from the algorithm. LOOKS RARE
Congrats
@Daimon444

Artists, if you're worried about limits
Get your collectors subscribed on your
@0xDecaArt
artist page. They'll get an email for all your drops. And never worry about reaching collectors
1/ In 2018, “RCSA guy” by
@XCOPYART
sold for 1ETH / $90
In 2021, it resold for 1,600ETH / $7M
Yet without royalties, XCOPY would have seen only $90 from his monumental contribution to culture
Our space will not last if artists aren't rewarded. Royalties are MISSION CRITICAL
I am alone in my quarters after a long day of studying Fidenzas with
@bonafidehan
. We went thru mints # 1-400 stopping only to reup the wine and walk the hounds. I will sleep soundly with the algorithm in my dreams tonight :) ~CdM
Just brokered

@tylerxhobbs
Fidenza 723. Sale price of 650 ETH ($2M), a new Fidenza ATH. This absolute grail of a grail collection has been vaulted with
@AWice
. Congrats Alex for acquiring a true onchain artifact!
Thank you
@ac_collecting
for helping with this deal!
Imagine you were bulk transferring 10 fidenzas, punks, or glyphs using
@opensea
. And due to the recent bug they sent it to a burn address, $millions forever lost
This is insane for a company of this stature, funding, and profitability
So my first step before making the offer was to transfer it back to one of my personal accounts. For this I went to
@opensea
, hit 'transfer' and entered 'nick.eth'.
Moments later, transaction complete! rilxxlir.eth transferred to 0x0000...0000edd899b. Wait, what?
Guys we don't yet fully grasp how fast
@arbitrum
is growing. This
@l2beatcom
graph is LOG SCALE
Production L2s. PoS. Sharding. 2022 Ethereum will be insane

summer
Just brokered 1200ETH / $3M worth of
@tylerxhobbs
Fidenzas. And facilitated 1100ETH / $2.8M worth of
@larvalabs
glyphs
🤯 Over 2500ETH / $6.4M of Fidenzas moved within last 24 hours
16/ And lastly 🙏
@tylerxhobbs
for creating an algorithm of such depth and complexity and serendipity. That we may never see its like again for a long time

If your taste aligns with conceptual photography I currently have a piece called "you see right through me" that's available on
@SuperRare
In 1791, the Louvre was founded during the French Revolution. Then became a model of modern public access museum. These institutions became legends after centuries
Some crypto institutions founded today will last as long as the blockchain. We're here at the birth of stories 🔥

@bonafidehan
Almost exactly 1 year ago, I bought my first NFT. A punk. And 4 apes. Then I proceeded to descend completely into degeneracy by compulsively collecting 56 Fidenzas
Seems fitting that today we launched the Octagon. And can't wait to build the Decaverse 🔟 w you
bonafidehan-a.eth
1/ Swiftly & relentlessly, we’ve been building. Now it’s time to tell the story of Deca's future
We're building the Decaverse 🔟: powerful infrastructure that brings digital objects to life 👇
(We have a surprise for the first 100 Octagon minters who also quote RT w their addy)
1/ Many a night in the past 8 years have I pored over the entirety of the Fidenza collection by
@tylerxhobbs
. Now finally here are my Fidenzas of Distinction:
(Wait has it only been 8 months)
Good evening

6/ Again, what is it about 938 that it's so powerful? First, did you know every spiral rotates clockwise? Except for 938? That's where it begins, when you begin to notice why it's so special
15/ Thank you Crypwillother
#9249
and
@mathewe
for original research into what makes 938 such a powerful Fidenza. And for Medici for the name "God Mode"
The worm is a symbol of crypto. It's decentralized trust in each other, that each of us can do our little part in the story ✨
I can't think of a better steward for the worm's next stop than
@SnoopDogg
, may it bless your wallet fren
3/ Yet, 938 is in the history books for another reason. Ages ago, it was the first ever AB triple digit sale, at 100ETH. You may not believe it, but it was then an unprecedented price
1/ The metaverse will be weird, emergent, unexpected.
@lootproject
is the best expression of the metaverse I've seen
Each loot is a bundle of gear set in a fantasy universe. Except there's no universe. Just the gear. "Vengeance Roar" War Belt of Enlightenment. What does it mean?
1/ I'm part of
@6529capital
. And this is an important fund
Why? The NFT will be as important as the hyperlink. And this fund aims to collect the most important digital objects that are created during this historic time
1/ We're building tools of creativity at
@0xDecaArt
If you're like me and obsessed with NFTs, you're really going to love this. Among other things, we're building an infinite canvas for NFTs
Take a look at these wonderful Deca galleries by artists:
@cafromthesky
and
@pixelpete
1/ Both
@SuperRare
and
@withFND
are icons of our space. SO excited to finally support them in
@0xDecaArt
You can now add SR and FND NFTs to Deca galleries
8/ Because the 938 spiral is actually an illusion. Whereas other spirals have long shapes that bend along the flow to create the spiral. 938 has tiny short shapes seemingly falling together into the abyss, forming an emergent spiral
9/ How was this possible? It was the intersection of 3 traits. Relaxed collision check, micro-uniform, and spiral. Without any of which, the illusion would fail
@bonafidehan
machine in the ghost
Long-form fully on-chain generatively recontextualized landscapes, and if that word salad wasn't enough for you there's lots more detail on the project page! 1 fully randomized mint for .1 ETH
13/ And even further. The background color of
#1A2340
was necessary to create the sense of a black hole, the eye of god, that is pulling the universe's color in. Without it, the illusion is lost
This is the foundation that will change everything
Each Deca artist profile is the best intro to an artist's style & aesthetic. No longer do you have to be an archaeologist. It's all there, just one click away
Things are about to get really interesting 👀
1/ Unifying beauty. Introducing artist profiles
All their art, all comprehensible, all buyable—primary & secondary. All in one place. A place dedicated to the art
Artists! Make sure to reserve your Deca username
(Sound on! 🔊)
450 represents the minimalist elegance possible with Fidenza algorithm. It paints with negative space what other Fidenzas paint with shapes: imagine the wind that is blowing and taking the shapes off canvas. 450 is a haiku, one that deconstructs the Fidenza algorithm to its core

Unlike mere mortals, he does not prepare his massive threads in advance. He'll grab his coffee. Sits down, opens Twitter, and just. Starts. Typing
1/ Friends, we're going mainstream. 3 months ago, if you told me we'd be featured in Forbes. Christie's. And Art Basel Miami. It would have been hard to believe
Well it's happening. Gradually and now suddenly 🧵

Welcome 'Wormfood' to the Medici Collection✨
Hello
@bonafidehan
