https://t.co/UweX04pA1f
tell me what do you think.
If you own one or more Q+Ks, but have not done any hacking, you can now freely buy new traits on our official website and make your Queens+Kings even more beautiful or villainous.
[The cost is $23 each, which covers technical costs].
One of the most undervalued and overlooked artists in the space.
If he wasn’t so outspoken…. if he catered to the narrative, and was easy to digest, and didn’t speak his honest thoughts, his pieces would all fly into collections at multiple eth per release.
👑HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEENS+KINGS!!!👑
2 years have passed since the distant 23rd of December 2021, when we minted the first Q+K.
We have seen ups and downs, but we are still here keeping up the long march towards the realm of Art.
Queens+Kings has woven a rich tapestry of experiences, fostering deep connections and giving rise to the creation of unique Royals.
We are grateful to the wonderful community of Sovereigns for your support and foresight.
For us, the community plays a crucial role as co-creators, actively shaping the artistic landscape of the Q+K realm. As Royals travel globally, as they have with @artcrush, their journey becomes a collaborative artistic journey. Let’s dive deep into what has been happening while we’ve been subverting hierarchies together.
In the past 2 years, the hacking tool has been used over 8,000 times by more than 600 unique addresses. The constant evolution of the Q+Ks is an unstoppable phenomenon, most are unrecognisable compared to their genesis versions. Perhaps this parallels the early years of life, marked by the trials and blessings of puberty. 😂
Some have chosen to cease altering their sovereigns' appearances using the freezing tool, signifying a sort of Royal adulthood. There are now 284 frozen avatars, a unique situation where collectors gain commercial rights. Over 200 of these also became avatars of @TheSandboxGame. The frozen find themselves exploring other realms with their Q+Ks!
Thanks to @NFTStudios_io, we have introduced the burning tool—a mechanism allowing the burning of traits and bases. Our aim is to increase the value of the project while improving scarcity. We understand the importance of the Royals to our collectors, and as such, the top burners will have the opportunity to receive an our Artwork in special edition of 23 🔥
The journey of Queens+Kings is only just beginning. We've been working on a series of animated short films to expand the imagery of the Royals for over 6 months now. An investment that we hope will take Queens+Kings to another level.
As you know, our strength is vision, perseverance and experimentation. Thanks again to everyone who supports us and loves our art.
Do you think Elon will allow us to take our Q+Ks to Mars?
PS: [Today is also the birthday of N... 🥳🎉]

The way forward
We have been brainstorming a lot with our community, thinking and working at creating new dynamics in the Q+K project for this new year.
"the ultimate goals are creating new tools to bring more to our collectors through our art and ensuring sustainability in the future, improving community engagement, and adding more members to the Q+K family… “
🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ HACKING SEASONS 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️
The length of the Hacking Seasons will be adjusted to a 6 month period. The first 6 month season will be the next, Season 6, namely from May 2023 until October 2023, with a trait claim planned for the beginning of November.
▫️ From the end of Season 6 onwards, there will be a symbolic transformation. There will no longer be a free trait claim; instead, collectors will be able to purchase traits at a reasonable price (around $50 to $75), with the aim of increasing scarcity and to cover tech costs. Accordingly, the current Season 5 will be the last with free traits as a hacking reward.
Let’s hack!
▫️ The top Hackers in future seasons will benefit from early access to the new traits released for sale! The first time this change will come into effect will be at the end of November, following the end of Season 6, and more information will be released closer to that date to assure alignment with the evolution of the project.
🔥🔥🔥 BURNING MECHANISM 🔥🔥🔥
▫️ The introduction of this mechanism is to halt oversaturation of traits and bases within the project, therefore increasing the rarity of the traits.
▫️ Burning will happen in the form of 6 month seasons, however the first season will be approximately 8 months long, namely from June 2023 till January 2024. This is to ensure that the Hacking and Burning Seasons do not run at the same time, and also to facilitate community members as they gain a better understanding of the dynamic of the mechanism.
▫️ The first burning season is provisionally planned for June
▫️ All traits, bases and some other Hackatao artworks previously minted in large editions can be burned every season, but there will be limitations to protect rarity of certain traits.
▫️ As a special reward for burning at certain levels to be specified each burning season, Hackatao will release a new artwork in a limited edition (e.g. an edition size of 23). To allocate those editions, there will be a double criteria:
The majority will be automatically given to the top burners who manage to collect at least a minimum certain amount of points, receiving the edition at the end of the burning season and seeing their burning points reset to 0.
The remaining few will be given out in a raffle, where collectors use their built-up burning points to enter the raffle. The more points accumulated, the more your chances of winning the raffle.
All Collectors who won a reward (automatically or raffle) will see their points reset to 0 and all others will keep their points for the next season.
❄️❄️❄️ FREEZING & SANDBOX ❄️❄️❄️
▫️ We remind you that if you want to see your avatars transform into playable characters within the Sandbox world, you need to freeze your Royals before the end of March.
▫️ As we have already announced, upon freezing a Royal, the collector who owns that Royal gains commercial rights over the image of that avatar, and gains access to a world of possibilities such as the collaborations with Sandbox, Faceless, B&O.
And not only this boils in the pot.
Throughout 2023 there will always be surprises for Q+K Holders.
The first one will happen in April.
And for 2024?
We are working on it because we are strong over long distance
Despite the evil, i'm still here for 6th hacking season. Ready to burn parts of my heart forever. I burn to live. My identity is constantly changing within this fantastic project, but I am always myself. Q+K #4722
Finally hacked my royal. One small step 💙🤗.
Life has hardened him. I tried to respect his identity & give him more personality. Rarity improved.
It was fun. Queens + King @Hackatao is a unique project. Love it.
before and after the hacking!😄😄😄🌠
