I need to be real with you all. I've gone back and forth about posting this but I can't stay quiet anymore.

My 4 year old son has a severe neurological condition. He's non-verbal and autistic and requires constant specialized care. That alone turned our family's life upside down. We found treatments that are extremely promising but they're just out of reach right now.

Then a few weeks ago, my 11 year old was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

What was already the hardest chapter of our lives just got significantly harder. We have a 4 year old with intensive daily needs, an 11 year old whose health now requires around the clock management, and a 1 year old. There aren't enough hours in the day and there aren't enough of us.

The art and design markets have been going through some serious changes and it's left us in the tightest financial spot we've ever been in. I'm not here for sympathy. I'm here because love and will do anything for them and have to exhaust every option I can.

If you or anyone you know needs creative work, I have 15+ years of experience across brand identity, creative direction, advertising, content, and AI art. I've worked with adidas, Nike, Google, Valentino, and many others. I'm ready to start immediately.

If you love the art, I have a small curation of unminted new works and my PIECES drop is live on SR. I'm also very open to commissions.

I've always tried to show up here with energy and positivity. Right now the most honest thing I feel I can do is show up with the truth instead.

I'm going to get my sons the care they need and get my family to a place where we can all thrive. If you can help from any angle, please reach out. If you can RT, that matters too.

DMs are open. 🙏

Statement about the future of fxhash

Hey fx community,

As you are aware, these times have been hard for platforms on NFT markets, and we're no exception. We recently had to scale down the team and have been working on scaling down our infrastructure. At this point in time, no one in the team is getting paid, there's myself and a handful of volunteers, as we're essentially running out of cash. I can understand why many platforms stopped trying, building this kind of product is draining you to the bone.

That being said, I am committed to getting us through this rough patch as I still deeply believe in such a tool existing for artists, but it's clear that the current model is not working. I've been thinking a lot about the future of fxhash, if any, and it came clear to me that the platform drifted from its initial goal of serving artists primarily along its journey.

I think at the root of the problem is that a tool serving artists should be fully owned by its users, and not operated by a small team of people, regardless of how benevolent might their intentions be. While it's always been a long-term goal of ours to fully decentralize the protocol at some point, now seem to be the only opportunity we'll have at it. It only seems like a tangible path towards the future in case the company could not keep supporting the product.

We're close to securing some money as a loan / investment, targeting end of June. Once we get this cash, it's clear that we will need to immediately change our trajectory.

The plan

- reduce operational costs to a minimum
- 4k$/mo in services -> will require 1-3 months of work
- 8k$/mo in employment -> reemploy a very small and focused team
- 2 devs
- 2-3 part-time members for helping across the board (admin, marketing, artist liaison, community, etc...)

- transition towards decentralization
- implement a DAO
- open-source everything
- figure out pipelines to slowly decentralize decision-making and ownership, from governance towards implementation
- open books: company financials for everyone to see

- first order of business to solve together: financial sustainability, targeting profitability
- consolidate the core product through governance
- chains supported
- features available
- etc...

This is the very last time we'll be able to raise cash in our current state, so essentially this will be our last shot at finding a way to build a sustainable long-lasting ecosystem. But I deeply think that the only way to do so will be collectively. It's essential that we reduce operational costs to a minimum until we figure out a sustainable path in the future.

The bridge till June

It's unclear whether we will be able to keep all the services running until we get cash. We took all the steps that we can and informed our providers, but their policies are understandably strict, I'll keep you updated about this.

@tiffatronn Congrats tiffa! Happily surprised to see the tezos editions go so fast

[tiffa @tiffatronn]

Excited to finally share some new work with you ⁂

‘A Matter Of Perspective’ is a diptych presented across two platforms (Ethereum and Tezos), comprising two interconnected yet independent pieces.

‘A Matter Of Perspective: The Pursuit’ leans into movement, the reaching outward, the restless energy of seeking meaning just beyond grasp.

‘A Matter Of Perspective: Attraction’ softens into stillness, where meaning arrives unforced, drawn inward through presence rather than effort.

Together, they reveal pursuit and attraction not as opposites, but as interdependent forces, each defined by the presence of the other.

Thank you to @SuperRare + @objktcom for inviting me to show this work in upcoming group show ‘Equilibrium’.

I put a full LLM on Ethereum so you don't have to.

Yes, on-chain. Yes, it runs every time. No, I will not be taking questions.

For those familiar with my work, you know I've been obsessed with the intersection of AI, blockchain, and art for years. Putting a real LLM on-chain felt impossible for the longest time, until the "slop loop" and autoresearch made me realize the only thing standing between me and on-chain glory was enough tokens.

So I burned through weeks of Claude and Codex subscriptions for your sake.

After endless iteration - expanding and contracting parameter sizes, tweaking temperatures, training custom models from scratch - I arrived at a machine that produces the gold standard of human text: @jackbutcher tweets.

A 324K parameter model, a full llama2-style "large" language model inspired by @karpathy's stories260K, runs every single time your token is fetched. Each mint generates a brand new phrase paired with a @visualizevalue-inspired image. One of one. Forever.

It only made sense to theme this around the one thing AI actually runs on: attention. The whole industry is a race to capture enough of it to monetize, so I decided to be lazy and do the same.

Automate Attention runs perpetually. Every mint generates a new image and a new phrase. The catch: if 24 hours pass without a mint, the collection closes forever.

Keep the attention alive. Own a piece of Ethereum art history.

Or don't. The model doesn't care. It's already running.
