What’s next for @grinnznft ? 👀
We’ve been seriously considering moving Grinnz from Solana to Ethereum. @EpikNFT and I talked about it a lot, weighed the pros and cons, and honestly, we believe ETH would be the healthier long-term move for the project.
The main reason is simple: we want to reach more artists.
We genuinely believe NFTs will grow through art and real artists. Grinnz was never imagined as “just another PFP collection.” From day one, the vision was to build an art-focused community where people actually help each other grow. And I think we already took some very solid first steps toward that vision.
Grinnz hasn’t even been around for 1.5 years yet, but we already collaborated with some of the biggest projects in the market. Someone actively involved in the Grinnz community had opportunities to make more than $10K USD within the last year alone.
We also launched beta version of @ThePatrunos to help artists gain visibility, and we have a lot more plans to improve and expand it.
EpikNFT and I also have more than 30 years of combined experience across visual design, product management, and digital marketing. We’re trying to share all of that experience with artists and art lovers through everything we build.
On top of that, Epik and I have been consistently promoting artists every single day for years now.
I also use my Twitter banner to feature a different artist almost every week.
Soon, we’re planning to launch a mentorship program specifically for artists who hold Grinnz.
And yes, we’re still actively building the new project as well. When that launches, Grinnz holders will naturally have very special advantages there too.
After looking at the bigger picture, we felt being on Ethereum instead of Solana would simply give Grinnz a stronger environment to grow everything we’re trying to build.
Day by day, we’ll continue turning Grinnz into something much bigger than a collection, a genuinely valuable ecosystem and creative circle for artists.
Huge thanks to every single person who has supported us so far! 💙
And for those who want to join us in the next chapter of this journey, you’re always welcome! 🫂
One of the hardest parts of any major NFT launch is managing WL distribution and community expectations.
Thousands of people (literally thousands) reach out. If you don’t reply, some get upset and start spreading FUD. If you reply but don’t give them a WL spot, they FUD. If you do give them a WL spot and something goes wrong, they FUD. If they get WL but miss out during FCFS, they FUD again.
A process that starts with good intentions often ends up creating unnecessary negativity for both founders and communities.
If platforms like @opensea ,@SuperRare , or @verse_works can build better systems to solve this problem, minting will become much healthier for everyone involved. And if a startup manages to eliminate this friction entirely, there’s probably a very valuable business hiding there. 👀
Introducing O(1)
A zero-knowledge protocol artwork. Its title is its thesis: that the entire history of its ownership — however complex or deep — can collapse to a constant, committed to a single slot of Ethereum storage.
