- The Avalanche Foundation has launched a new mentoring initiative for digital artists, and Ticketmaster has introduced a new feature allowing artists to reward NFT holders.
[Avalanche launches initiative for digital artists, NFT creator protests Sotheby’s gender bias, and more](https://cointelegraph.com/news/avalanche-launches-initiative-for-digital-artists-nft-creator-protests-sotheby-s-gender-bias-and-more)
The Avalanche Foundation has launched a new mentoring initiative for digital artists, and Ticketmaster has introduced a new feature allowing artists to reward NFT holders.
- Creator Tokens will naturally arise as NFTs, not ERC20s
Why?
The real value of a digital creator is in their work, just like an artist's is in their artwork.
In the physical world, an artist's work makes up a collection, like "Picasso"... 🧵
A painting can be seen as a "Creator Token" of an artist. If an artist becomes more famous, all of their paintings rise in value.
We can expand this concept by bringing their work on-chain as NFTs. When their work is on-chain, it'll naturally form a collection.
Each NFT Creator Token took time and effort to create, and represents something tangible.
By investing in a creator through an NFT Creator Token, you're directly investing in and owning their work, which is a concept that has existed for thousands of years
With @lensprotocol, this work can now take the form of art, music, photography, podcasts, or just text.
On-chain Creator Collections will be made up of many more types of work than just art
ERC20s as Creator Tokens are an interesting idea that may work, but they don't really have a traditional equivalent the way NFTs do (there's no Picasso stock).
Investing directly in an artist's "clout" seems more abstract, so it might take longer to catch on
People know that by buying an NFT, they're investing in a piece of work, and by extension... the artist.
Stay tuned for @youfolio.lens ! It's a platform for Creator Tokens on Lens. Launching soon 👀

- Our third artist on The Don’t Ask roster—
Ghost of Inari— aka Degen Ghosty (b.1991) has always been a creative soul and never found her place until web3. She now explores any and everything that brings her joy or allows her to express herself. Taking notes from creepy Tim Burton movies, blending it with an anime twist and applying them to her character design are key elements in her work. She is a multi-chain artist and is currently focused on commissions and Degen Ghosty artworks. Be sure to follow her on her journey.

- Introducing Don't Ask ❓️ to the World 🌍
At its heart Don't Ask reminds us that there are limits to what we can understand. Yet, despite these limits, "Don't Ask" is both a warning and an invitation, a challenge and a temptation, a mystery and a promise.
Don't Ask symbolizes a belief in the value of creative expression, exploring the boundaries of our understanding for the sake of art.
- So happy I purchased this wonderful piece from @lazul.lens - he is the best artist I know - and his work speaks to me so much.
How does this piece make me feel ?
I feel as though - I, personally, in my life am entering a new chapter (new door) and leaving the darkness behind and stepping into a new colorful future- all while there is a higher power watching over me while I make this transition🕊
Some people believe in a higher power- some don’t- regardless how you feel - someone you once loved is watching over you, smiling and crying on how far you have came.
I have wanted to quit so many times. So many times I felt lost and alone.
But I know I’m doing this for something bigger than me. Something more powerful than me.
I shouldn’t be here today, but I am. And I will continue to strive for the goals I set for myself daily.
This life thing is not easy, for any of us - but what separates the haves from the have nots is the amount of times you are willing to pick yourself up from ground zero and try again to reach your goals.
This piece gives me hope.

- ARBITRUM AIRDROP IS LIVE 🔵 🪂
Finally, ARB claim site started to work a few minutes ago.
Thread: how to claim and delegate right now! 🧙♂️ 🏛️
▓▓▓▓▓▓ 100%
To claim:
1. Go to Arbitrum's website: 🔗 http://arbitrum.foundation
2. Click on "Claim" and follow the steps
3. Delegate to olimpio.eth 🏛️
4. ✅
If you believe I am the right fit. My principles are decentralization, self-custody, privacy
For months, I recommended everyone to delegate their $OP tokens.
Then, Optimism did their Airdrop #2, and one eligibility criteria was to be active in governance (a.k.a. delegating)
Do with this as you may 👀
💡 ICYMI: delegating is enabling your voting power to a delegate
Here is my delegate application and some thoughts of DeFi, blockchain, and governance:
🏛️ https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/delegate-application-template/31/230?u=olimpio
Where to trade ARB?
• Use DexScreener/GeckoTerminal to monitor blockchains for pools.
1. Take $ARB's token contract: 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548
2. Paste in on http://dexscreener.com / http://geckoterminal.com
3. You will see a pool list where ARB is trading!
Also, centralized exchanges CEXs are listing $ARB.
Almost all of them confirmed listing.
• Binance: today 17:00 (UTC)
• OKX: today (UTC) - 20 mins after claim opens
• Kucoin: today (UTC) - immediately on claim open
• Coinbase: "if and when liquidity conditions are met" 🤡
Transactions not going through?
• If you are having problems with your transactions going through, Arbitrum RPC nodes could be having server load issues.
Here is a thread I made to create your custom RPC endpoint for free and in 5 minutes: https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1638665520940560384
ARB had a rocky launch, with their main website failing for more than 1 hour, and Arbiscan also going down.
The team denies it's from a DDoS or similar attack, they say it's just server load.
If you are still experiencing issues, retry, it works intermittently.

- The Weight of the World is my very first timed-edition piece, created especially for my solo exhibition in collaboration with @TransientLabs
- 17th - 31 March
- Mint price 0.09ETH.
The work changes according to the amount of pieces sold!
This artwork showcases a woman weighed down by the struggles and responsibilities of life. It's a poignant reminder that we all face challenges that can feel insurmountable at times.
But here's the kicker: as more people purchase the piece, her load actually becomes lighter! This transformation symbolizes the power of community and the importance of seeking support when things get tough.
I'm beyond excited to share this piece with you all, and I hope it sparks some thought-provoking conversations about the weight we carry and the value of connection. This piece will be up for sale during my exhibition's entire two-week duration because I wanted to offer something affordable to visitors. It's also connected to Crossmint, which lets you pay with a credit card. hopefully simplifying the process for those who are new to NFTs.
Please do not make purchases based on the possibility of a future "burn" of the burdens depicted in the artwork. At the moment, this aspect of the plan has not been fully developed, so please only make purchases if you genuinely appreciate the art and its concept.
Thank you all for your support!

I am a father, science lover, crypto enthusiast, web3 dude trying to make my mark on the art world with some super unique, next-level physical art...from my walk-in closet - traveling with my gear periodically throughout the past 2+ years to bring my art to the public eye.
I make art from lasers - and present my installs LIVE, and also through all sorts of digital mediums: still photos, raw videos, edited loops, full length music videos, interactive 2d 'photos', interactive 360 photos/VR, stereograms - and whatever new rad shit we figure out in the future 😁 Keep an eye out for something in domed ceilings / planetariums 😍
I share a shitload of my art. Not sorry.
Also, I've never minted on Polygon. So some new fun lies ahead!!
