@TheApiens Everything we have built on our own. No funds from VC and given back multiple x any small mint funds we took in from holders. That is how Web3 was and is supposed to work.
On our 1st primary mint UBots, we took in about $25k and have sent out over $250k in artwork.
That chart!
A great opportunity to revive your sleeping OG’s!
Transform them into actual physical artwork that lasts and adds lots of value.
For me two beautiful paintings are being made and sent to my home address when they’re finished (a Chrysalism Butterfly and a Metal Dog).
Thinking of burning another 30!
@TheApiens@MattVegh Innovative piece! Love those Mine portals. Looks and feels like a legacy piece as well! Great job preserving your art trajectory and the provenance of the work using Eternal Gardens Agentic AI Curation platform!
Big Announcement from the Confluence Universe
We’ve officially crossed 130,000 NFTs across our primary collections (excluding ancillary items like bags, upgrade cards, activation and reward badges).
This makes the Confluence one of the largest, most accessible, and affordable ecosystems in all of Web3, while delivering unmatched real-world utility.
What truly sets us apart is our best-in-class phygital exchange program. In addition to the many roll-up and exchange programs we held for individual collections in the past (we have shipped hundreds of physical paintings valued at over $500k USD already to our holders as rewards), our latest "OG RWA BURN Program" allows holders to burn OG NFTs from the Universe and redeem original physical artworks from my studio.
Milestone Update: We’ve completed 300 burns in the first week of this program for 10 dedicated holders who are receiving physical pieces from my Wildlife Discovery, Zodiac, and Tenochtitlan series.
Real art, already shipping.
Exciting Roadmap Ahead:
Along with our industry-leading Agentic AI Digital Legacy platform for publishing and GEOsphere discoverability (Eternal Gardens), our fully Agentic marketplace is in active development jam-packed with some of the all-time best-selling NFT art in Web3.
It will focus exclusively on the Confluence Universe and our phygital exchange program, drawing from our massive IP holdings of over 40 brands and trademarks including 11 Collections in the All-Time Top 150 in Gaming NFT's on Opensea. We will also tap back into our already built 500+ game and game mode Web3 Gaming Universe, but with an AI-driven focus for web-based gaming.
On the heels of the marketplace launch will come the Art Strategy Token: powering the entire phygital exchange ecosystem.
Now is the best time to be sweeping cheap OG NFTs from the Confluence and leveling up to become a core holder. The floor is still incredibly accessible, and the upside for dedicated collectors has never been stronger.
Thank you to every builder and collector in the Universe. The future is phygital, agentic, and built for real value.
Here are some of the physical works already shipped to holders from our Burn program, with many more to come. You can view our founder Canadian Artist Matt Vegh's gallery of works here for more information about the artwork:

Copper Mine River (2015)
30 x 30 oil on ink wash paper fused to hand-stretched canvas with a real Canadian Postage Stamp Embedded on its surface
This is one of the very first of our founder @MattVegh's experimental "Postage Stamp" inspired pieces from his earliest days of painting in 2015 and the piece was featured at his debut group international exhibition at the WM Art Gallery in the Atrium at the prestigious Tae Koo Li in Chengdu, along with several others in the series.
Not many of them survived the embedding process, so they are rare pieces, but this stamp remains vivid in color and indeed matches the title of the painting, Copper Mine River, a 1971 Canadian 6 Cent Postage Stamp.
It resides in Matt Vegh's Main Collection in his Chengdu Studio Gallery as a cornerstone historical and foundational piece of his art trajectory.
View it here along with other works from his massive sales history of 1,080 original oil paintings, plus 103 placements and artist exchanges, in the past 10 years, making him, by both velocity and hard count, one of the most prolific significant oil painters of all time.

@TheApiens That was a great show! I might have to do more of my Postage Stamp series, given I have a collection of over 400,000 postage stamps from all over the world dating back to the 1800's.
Matt Vegh is one of Canada's most prolific oil painters with 1080 significant Oil paintings sold in less than 10 years, as well as 103 placements.

@MattVegh
The "Tenochtitlan 8" is a painting I received as a reward for being a Double Dragon Package minter of Nathaniel Vegh's incredible pixel art Tenochtitlans NFT's on ApeChain.
@whyvess5 What a refreshing take: Blockchain isn’t just speculation but at its core is memory and provenance. The quiet architecture of permanence > fleeting drops. Grateful for pieces like this that deepen the conversation.
The Quiet Architecture of Permanence https://t.co/zrQrHqVbRS Every generation believes it is inventing the future. The measure of a creator is not how loudly they are seen, but whether their work continues to speak long after they have stepped away.
