Very thankful to have just acquired the remaining 805 Meebits from the historic Larva Labs collection.

With this acquisition, the Collection becomes the largest Meebits assemblage in the world with 1036 works including Meebit #8368, the extremely rare Dissected.

huuuge ittybits site update just went live locally and it’s one of the most important infra upgrades since launch 👇🧵

not flashy in the “new button” sense. flashy in the “we rebuilt the historical truth layer for all 10,000 ittybits” sense.

I have accepted the offers for Window #8 and #14 for ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

Congratulations to the winners and you should see the Fenestra tokens in your wallets.

If you made an offer on a window that has been accepted, remember to remove your window tokens from escrow to put them back in your wallet.

The only remaining window that is open to claim is #22, which is tied at 1 offer each.

You can still mint window tokens here, which could open up a new window for claim.

Thanks for all who participated and for your support of ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

@lifeofc One day I'll watch a full length movie of yours, and it's gonna be epic!!!

"Quotidian"

As everyday and mundane as this short film may seem, I invented more technology and process for this one than I have on any other cinematic AI project so far. Much of it revolved around locations and character.

[Chikai @lifeofc]

There has been some offer activity for ALWAYS HAS BEEN over the past few days.

https://t.co/fSxfSTu3gM

Window #8 got some offers with one clear winner with 2 event tokens. Window #22 still has no offers and Window #14 remains tied at 3 offers.

I'm going to adjust my acceptance process to be more like a live auction at Christie's. Instead of doing it by time elapsed, I'm going gauge the momentum of the offers coming in and if things look settled, then will strike my virtual hammer and accept an offer.

Also the mint for event tokens is still live and if you mint more, it may open up a new window for claim.

Best of luck!

I have accepted all offers for Fenestra tokens with clear winners (#7, #11, #13, #15, #26). The offered event tokens have been burned and the tokens have been transferred.

I could not be happier with where these first set of Fenestra tokens landed. They went to the right people. Those who stuck with me and the artwork for over a year to those who visited almost everyday when The Terminal went live to those who truly believed when the mint went live. I’m grateful to all of you.

#14 was still a tie, so I did not accept any offers for that window, so it is still waiting for a clear top offer:

Windows #8 and #22 opened up after the two max mints from earlier today and now you can make offers on those Fenestra tokens:

The Fenestra tokens are on their own contract:

If you offered event tokens and did not have the winning offer, you can remove your event tokens from escrow at any time here:

The mint is still live:
https://t.co/taVNI9Sxqs

and remember when the mint finishes, The Treasury opens and event token holders can start to burn/redeem their event tokens for 0.5% of the ETH in The Treasury.

i have been sitting with this one a while. it wasn’t easy. @lifeofc has outdone himself with this one. I’ve minted 18 (I think).

why? beneath the complexity, it says something simple and true about us :
we invent new machines every year and still carry the same hopes, flaws, hungers, and fears into all of them.
the future keeps arriving.
and somehow, it’s still us.

take a minute with this one

[paloni.eth @am_paloni]

I found it surprisingly hard to decide which event tokens I'm gonna offer for a chance to get a Fenestra token. I assessed them by rarity, then by which ones I like the most, then I had memories of minting one and how much I liked its moments... argh hard decisions there 🥲

[Chikai @lifeofc]

We are in The Redemption phase of ALWAYS HAS BEEN and so I wanted to give a recap of the current offers for Fenestra tokens. The best offer for the current set of open windows will be accepted next week on Thursday (April 9).

If you have AHB event tokens, you can go here to make offers:

https://t.co/fSxfSTu3gM

Fenestra tokens open up for offers when one holder reaches 10% of a window’s total possible event tokens. You can see the status of each window’s holder distribution here:

Thanks to everyone who has engaged with AHB and have a great weekend!

@lifeofc @o8odigitalart That sounds interesting!!!

👨‍🚀 ALWAYS HAS BEEN🔫 REFRESHER🍹

I wanted to give everybody a quick refresher on my latest artwork ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

PHASE 1: The Terminal - COMPLETE

This was 28 days of an interactive experience where people viewed a simulated reality through aesthetic windows. They unlocked events and captured windows.

The key thing to know, this is how the artwork was created.

In the end, it was 1784 events contained within 28 windows.

PHASE 2: The Collection - NOW IN PROGRESS

The Collection is the minting of the 1784 event tokens. It is a blind mint and 652 have been minted so far and the mint is still open.

Go here to mint now:

https://t.co/taVNI9Sxqs

This is the key way to support the project today.

PHASE 3: The Redemption - EARLY APRIL

This has not started yet, but The Redemption phase is where you can offer event tokens for a window token, also called Fenestra tokens. This is the main way you can get a Fenestra token and you must offer the most event tokens to win. Each event is from a specific window and you need to offer event tokens from the window you want to claim.

PHASE 4: The Treasury - TBD

The Treasury phase is when you can redeem an event token for ETH from The Treasury. 50% of proceeds from the mint and any royalties from secondary go into The Treasury and those who hold an event token can burn them for ETH.

PHASE 5: The Relics - Summer 2026

This is the final phase of ALWAYS HAS BEEN and it is the 3 physical pieces that are at the center of the artwork. I’ve been posting early prototypes but the final piece is a sculpture made from Ulexite, often called “TV rock”. I will be sharing more details on this soon.

I hope this helps you understand all of the key details on what has happened, what is currently happening and what is going to come with ALWAYS HAS BEEN. This is a multi-month release, so wanted to give everybody some bearings on the project.

If there is one thing to take away from this post, go mint an event token right now!

@lifeofc @gypsielou Woaaaaah... That made my weekend. I'll do a massive deep dive in the data!!!

[Chikai @lifeofc]

Per the request of @gypsielou and @am_paloni, two of the most active people on The Terminal, here is the full data from all of the ALWAYS HAS BEEN windows for you to browse around.

https://t.co/zVtNondlug

Thanks to all who helped created this artwork over 28 days!🙏🫡

Minting now at https://t.co/taVNI9Sxqs

[paloni.eth @am_paloni]

@lifeofc @gypsielou @dgnsnail @jaytenfwammers @kyrindown This project has been such a joy to explore in the past year... Every time I wanted to escape from day to day routine, I just went and explored events in an alternative universe. Love to see the graph now that monitors my old LST activity...
