One week away… ⚡
i'm madagrey but you can call me mada -- i'm a former product manager in tech, now investing / creating full time in web3! i got started in NFT's late last year and have since fallen in love with the emphasis on art / tech / community in the space
i was a long time skeptic (even hater!) of NFT's until my friend
@yb_effect
convinced me to buy a chain runner last november. i was blown away by the idea of on-chain art and have since spent most of my time learning from other smart & supportive folks in the community
@azukiofficial
and
@crypto_coven
are two other projects that i really fell in love with -- i've spent dozens of hours just looking through both collections and just appreciating the attention to detail and quality of art in both 🤌

Hello, I am an OOsagi! I, along with 995 of my friends, are part of an art project exploring the themes of individuality and self expression. (Full script below 👇)
Learned so much this past year working on OOSAGI, especially in how difficult the last 20% of shipping a creative project is.
In the end, I'm so glad the 4 of us pushed through and actually released this passion project -- excited to share the culmination of it all!
Hi! I’m Esther, OOSAGI’s artist. I’m so happy to announce that MINT IS TODAY! 🫶
Over the past year, I’ve spent countless hours designing and hand-drawing so that I can finally share it with you all today. Thank you so much for the support ♥️
OOSAGI and I are ready—are you?
moving forward, i'm incredibly bullish on high integrity people and projects who continue to push the boundaries of both community building, art, and technology. i'll be working on a few projects myself that i can't wait to share more about as well!
OOSAGI x GALVERSE
Been waiting to tweet this partnership forever! Absolutely love how
@estherliangs
incorporated
@ayaka_oohira
's style with her own in such a unique way -- by far one of my favorite 1/1's in our collection ❤️🔥
Galverse is excited for a special collabo with upcoming project
@oosagiNFT
created by 4 Gal community members! 🫶
The collection will feature this cosmic 1/1 Gal OOsagi by amazing artist

terraflows by
@yeetljuice
are an incredible example of reinterpreted terraforms data being able to stand on its own beautifully -- just picked mine up today ❤️🔥
beyond the art and tech -- what's also really inspired me is how digital avatars & spaces can foster longlasting connections. i'm grateful to have made friends that i can talk to daily, participate in running clubs with, and even plan entire trips with 😮
Great thread on why the Azuki community's reaction to xrathore was such a huge slap to the face for artists -- very upsetting seeing so many people defending tracing or calling it a simple mistake
Objectively, it is really difficult to commit plagiarism unless one intends to. Have always encouraged my younglings to reference from multiple sources and injecting their own creative input instead of a single source.
Thrilled to be releasing 'Fold' with
@GrailersDAO
this August! It's been a year of exploring and very happy where we ended up.
We'll be sharing more info and background about the project in the coming days!
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments ❤️
@FI_Spartan
agree on the public/WL spread being a risk but everything else you tweeted was pretty poorly researched/substantiated - making claims like insider jobs without even attempting to learn about the project is pretty disingenuous
OOSAGI is now sold out 10 minutes after public sale! Thank you for all of your support. We are so grateful for those who joined us along our journey.
And we know the OOsagi’s are even more pumped to meet you all. 🩷
Reveal will be happening in 2 hours! See you there ⚡
So stoked to introduce my NFT project
@pocket_coven
, inspired by the first project I ever minted and fell in love with -
@crypto_coven
❤️ Super excited to embark on this artistic journey, and I'm just feeling really grateful to be a part of the Web3 space!
Grailers DAO introduces 'Fold', Rudxane's debut long-form Ethereum project.
This
@rudxane1
series, limited to 400 works, delves into structure and distortion, set for an August release on Art Blocks Engine.
Keep an eye out for updates on mint mechanics and schedule.......
terraforms is one of my absolute favorite projects and my friend calc put out this incredible writeup diving deeper into the technical and artistic vision behind it. check it out if you're interested in dynamically generated 3d worlds 😳
Terraforms by
@mathcastles
has been one of the most inspiring pieces of art for me. I wrote a long-form essay discussing both the technical and artistic vision as well as how it pushes the medium forward. Hope it can inspire others as well!
Full essay:
@meowllark
this is how i feel about all the AAPI empowerment projects too -- one look at goldenDAO's roadmap and i realized it was all about parties and airdrops and random events and nothing about actual awareness or empowerment : \
Unfollowing both
@OthersideMeta
and
@BoredApeYC
for a bit. Don't need more Koda ass being rubbed in my face. Went 0/6 on lands (-60e in a day) so I guess that's what
@yugalabs
had planned for its holders.
this has been my main new tab experience for a few weeks now and it's been a joy discovering new digital art and also seeing the extension evolve. check it out!
