gm all
been in the cave for a couple months - existential dread about the state of my craft (programming) and general dissatisfaction with my contributions to society professionally.
took some time to think through what is actually important to me and i always circle back to the same thing - what makes me happy is making other people happy and trying to be of service.
i was way too attached to the idea that i ought to be able to earn a living from building products like @evmnow or @networkeddotart.
so now i'm relaunching my studio together with @yougogirl_eth to continue supporting our own projects but more importantly to help others build and improve their own.
and we're using this opportunity to expand beyond our crypto art niche - we want to work with the German Mittelstand just as much as with our internet friends, and we're tackling stuff i've been excited about long before crypto, like building for education - especially now that AI is changing so many prior assumptions.
if you'd like to work together, please do reach out!
ps: networked, evmnow, opepen, etc aren't going anywhere, we're excited to continue watering and growing them. in fact this tuesday we have an awesome networked studio drop with DOY coming up :).

To sweep lowest 50 listed KYC would cost $42.5K USD right now.

👀 KYC meets CMYK
@jackbutcher’s rotating portrait teaser looks like KYC meeting the printing language of CREDITS
His site lists KYCM under “Built on Balance”, while collectors are asking whether their existing portraits could evolve
Meanwhile, CREDITS floors:
▷ Overall: ~0.0062Ξ (~$14), +7.9% since yesterday morning
▷ Top 100: 0.05896Ξ (~$132)
▷ Top 1,000: 0.0248Ξ (~$55)
▷ 4 Eights: 0.419Ξ (~$936)
▷ 3 Eights: 0.0287Ξ (~$64)
▷ 2 Eights: 0.0125Ξ (~$28)
45,920 CREDITS have already been burned into Statements, 37.59% of the original edition
Art becoming material for more art is the connection I’m watching
A new chapter for the original 565 KYC portraits, or a separate work?
Could KYC ownership play a role in BARS casting?

Jack just updated the Exchange page, and it says a lot.
New section: "Balance is a material. New work is being made from it."
Two works listed:
01 Bars (11/11)
Balance sealed into numbered objects. Bar #1 holds 1 Balance, Bar #369 holds 369, each in its own vault. Minting runs 8 days. After the close, only the owner can melt a Bar, so every Bar is always worth at least what it holds.
02 KYCM (coming soon)
Shown as a KYC head printed in full CMYK ink.
Look at the name.
K, Y, C + M = CMYK.
KYC was always three of the four printing inks. Adding M completes the set. The collection was always one letter away from Jack's color system.
The arc keeps tightening:
Payments → Credits → Statements → Balance → Bars → KYCM
Balance isn't just a token anymore. It's a material other works are built from. Every new work that uses it gives it more reasons to exist.
Live from the page:
• 36,383 wallets hold BALANCE
• 198 of 305 auction buyers still hold 90%+ of their claim
• Jack's sound-money scorecard: 15 hold · 3 partly · 2 not yet
Still early, and liquidity is thin. KYCM details are still to come. But the direction is clear.

Not financial advice. It's an art project.

How much $BALANCE does it take to cast Bars?
Bar #N holds N BALANCE. So the total locked grows fast as the numbers climb:
Bars #1–100: 5,050 BALANCE (~$113)
Bars #1–500: 125,250 (~$2.8K)
Bars #1–732: ~268,750, the entire launch auction
Bars #1–1,000: 500,500 (~$11K)
Bars #1–2,000: ~2.0M (~$45K)
Bars #1–3,000: ~4.5M (~$100K)
Bars #1–5,000: ~12.5M (~$279K)
For perspective: about 17M BALANCE has been released so far, 31.7% of the 53.75M max.
Casting the first ~5,840 bars would lock up every BALANCE released to date.
Bars #1–3,000 alone would lock about a quarter of it.
Each bar sits in its own contract. Melt it anytime to get the BALANCE back, so a bar is always worth at least what's inside.
Casting is open for 8 days.
Prices at $0.0223 as of post.
