@HouseOfDelux3<br />

It’s been a pleasure getting to know @BlockFramez over the past few months. Southern<br />

California-based Block is a member of URS and a professional OG photographer on Solana<br />

with an eye for urban textures.<br />

40 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>105</strong>


With all the new quality photography coming to Solana collectors are missing an opportunity to<br />

pick up work from someone who’s been here all along working hard adding value to the ecosystem.<br />

For example, his Neon Nights series was largely minted a year ago and is some of the earliest<br />

work available on EA. A few weeks ago, Block dropped a 20-edition piece from the series called<br />

Neon Road for 2 sol each. Only 2 out of 20 were sold, which shouldn’t have happened —<br />

In my opinion it should have sold out in seconds if collectors knew what it was. But that’s why<br />

HoD does these artists spotlights to wave a big blinking sign saying, “Hey great art over here!”.<br />

Block has 1/1s and editions available on both Exchange and FormFunction with pieces at various<br />

price points making it easy to gain exposure. One of the things he’s doing that I really like is the<br />

Memories in Motion series. Each frame is a moving image capturing moments on the<br />

California coast. They way they are produced gives the feel of a quality image, with just the right<br />

amount of movement. Check out @BlockFramez work if you get a chance…<br />

Q: When did you realize you were an artist?<br />

A: I was a very creative child; my parents enrolled me in art courses when I was just entering<br />

elementary school. Shortly after that piano lessons. My earliest memories are of my dad playing<br />

songs he’d written on the guitar so<br />

There never really was a time when I wasn’t in a creative environment growing up. I’d say the day<br />

I realized that art was want I wanted to dedicate my life to is the day I truly realized I was an<br />

artist which was around the age of 15.<br />

Q: What do you like about web3 art?<br />

A: The community and values represented by it. I feel like my work is truly valued in this space<br />

and in a way that it never was before. The freedom of expression that is allowed to exist within a<br />

strong community with strong values.<br />

Being able to create unobstructed by outside forces among like-minded people is an absolute<br />

dream come true. I still can’t believe this space exists and there isn’t a day that goes by where I<br />

don’t offer my gratitude for it and the people who make it what it is.<br />

Q: How do you get inspired?<br />

A: To be honest I’m rarely ever not inspired. It almost never occurs to me that I need inspiration. I<br />

do art full time and have for many years so I’m always in the process of creating.

Fundamental Analysis Series: Project fundamentals of Primates.<br />

Twitter: @Primatesnft<br />

Primates Official Links Website: https://primatesmap.com<br />

Secondary Market: https://magiceden.io/marketplace/primates…<br />

Discord:<br />

What is Primates and what do they do?<br />

Primates are a community-based project that focuses on brand building and community building.<br />

Their goal is to facilitate a seamless adoption of the web3 space through our community<br />

fueled ventures and collaborations.<br />

The project focuses a lot on giving their holders the utmost gamified experience when engaging<br />

with any of their products / tools that they release as they progress forward in the Jungle Map.<br />

What is available in the Primate ecosystem?<br />

1. Merch 2. Toxification 3. Labs 4. Ventures<br />

64 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>105</strong>


Merch<br />

Primates produce top of the line Merch that is good quality and cheap. They have loads of Merch,<br />

from apparels to accessories such as ash trays, skateboards, mousepads and many more.<br />

They have since put a halt to toxification and reverted ALL primates to their OG forms due to some<br />

community feedbacks. Read more about it here:<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@Primatesnft<br />

WHAT IS TOXIFICATION??? Toxification is NOT an art upgrade. It’s an experience.<br />

We’ve partnered up with @BlocksmithLabs to build a one of a kind experience utilizing<br />

the new SHIFT technology. Lets get into it.


Labs<br />

Upon putting a halt to Toxification, the project has since launched Labs — which is sort of an alternative<br />

to the toxification program, where the main idea is to allow users to play around and customize<br />

the Primate that they want.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@Primatesnft<br />

The Lab Recipe Part 1.0 How will I unlock dope traits in the laboratory? Every trait<br />

variation added to the lab will cost points. Once a variation has been purchased and<br />

unlocked it will be tied to the Primate FOREVER. Unlocked traits are NOT tradeable/<br />

transferrable<br />

Primates have partnered up with artists who will be producing different variations of the OG traits for<br />

holders to purchase using points. Once a variation is bought, it will not be seen in the market again.<br />

Holders can then swap among variations however they want.


With these points, holders can purchase these variations on the marketplace and customize their<br />

Primates to their hearts content. The team mentioned that there will be different rarities to the variations<br />

and there will be different drop versions, read more here:<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@Primatesnft<br />

The Lab Recipe Part 3.0 Trait Release Formats There will be a large variety of formats<br />

for trait releases every few days to keep the lab interesting. The first and most basic<br />

release format will consist of us adding variations to the points shop with fixed prices<br />

and…


Ventures<br />

Ventures are the project’s tech development<br />

department. Recently they have teased about the<br />

release of a gambling platform called @gamba.<br />

The lead time of the project will be around 1-2<br />

QTRs.<br />

There will also be different themes of variations<br />

and even their IRL merch being made into traits<br />

as well:<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@Primatesnft<br />

The Lab Recipe Part 4.0 Trait Themes As<br />

you can see from the 100+ trait variations<br />

we’ve shown off so far, we are exploring<br />

many different themes and styles with our<br />

artist in the Lab. Our goal with the laboratory<br />

is to provide a bunch of diverse trait<br />

variations for…<br />

What does holding a Primate grant you?<br />

1. Staking for points 2. Discount on Merch<br />

By owning a Primate, it gives you access to their<br />

ecosystem and part of a community. Holders will<br />

get to experience the trait swapping of the labs<br />

and customize their NFT. On top of that, holders<br />

are given heavy discounted prices (up to breakeven<br />

price) for merch.<br />

Primates have state of the art artwork and a tightly<br />

knit community. They have been around the<br />

space for a period and are still sustaining within<br />

the bear. Excited to see the launch of Labs and @<br />

gamba!

Solana Art Space<br />

It’s been a huge week for the Solana Community with NFTNYC being on everyone’s lips after another successful<br />

event. Here is an incomplete review of the week past.<br />

So many of our artists contributed to making the event a massive success, with some curating galleries, others<br />

running workshops, some being guest speakers, while the majority were there to connect with friends. A place<br />

where faces materialized from behind familiar PFPs.<br />

Artwork featured on giant billboards across New York City, Galleries were full of digital art, the village pulsated<br />

with the most innovative minds in web3. An extravaganza that only serves to whet the appetite for us all. 2024<br />

booked! Smile, there’s color! by @huxsterized.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@subaruimpreza09<br />

The IRL and NFT art scenes overlap more than you might<br />

think. While walking through galleries in NYC today, I<br />

found lots of work that reminded me of artists working in<br />

the 1/1 space. Less than a 2 minute read (0/7)<br />

In other news: -<br />

@drip_haus minted their 1 millionth Solana NFT and are<br />

now the largest collection of NFT’s on ANY chain - these<br />

free weekly drops are an incredible contribution not only<br />

to those artists whose work is commissioned, but to the<br />

entire Solana ecosystem.<br />

Backpack and @MadLadsNFT<br />

Why everyone should be paying close attention to the Mad Lads collection. The traditional crypto wallet<br />

is being reimagined with @xNFTBackpack, and Mad Lads have a front row seat This tech is going to<br />

change the industry, buckle up lads.<br />

Some History Founder @armaniferrante is a 100x engineer and has been building on SOL since its<br />

infancy His developer framework, Anchor, has vastly improved productivity on SOL Armani is working<br />

with world class engineers to build for the masses, starting with Backpack.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>105</strong><br />

77


What is the problem with existing wallets? > They haven’t changed much since Metamask > They are closed<br />

source, we must wait for their engineers to add new features > Soon, your crypto keys will be held in a secure<br />

hardware enclave on your smartphone, not Phantom or MM<br />

How Does Backpack Solve This? > Backpack takes the super app approach similar to WeChat or Kakao > Anyone<br />

can submit a PR or build an xNFT > Backpack is a sort of cross-chain Web3 operating system, adapted for<br />

mobile This allows Backpack to improve 100x faster than others.


The iPhone moment for Web3 The iPhone was so<br />

revolutionary because it was a multi-sided platform<br />

where devs built cool apps only for iPhone, which<br />

sold phones, which in turn motivated more devs to<br />

build better apps Backpack is just a wallet like the<br />

iPhone is just a phone.<br />

The mobile era of crypto is starting Most Web 1.0<br />

companies were just websites That’s how crypto<br />

feels right now, but what happens when we transition<br />

to mobile Websites and browser extensions will get<br />

absorbed into Backpack iOS proved native apps are<br />

10x easier for most.<br />

What is possible inside of Backpack when we can<br />

do things natively inside Backpack without relying<br />

on the Web? Well, a lot! >Secure payments >Messaging<br />

>Trading >Username & friend system >Airdrops<br />

>Share content But that’s not the most exciting<br />

thing… xNFTs are magical<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

@xNFT_Backpack<br />

Crypto is better with friends<br />

xNFTs are<br />

magical<br />

Backpack’s apps are actually NFTs X stands for eXecutable,<br />

tokenized code Imagine every app on your


phone was a NFT, you could airdrop your app to 100M<br />

people or send a coupon to certain users Backpack<br />

brings the magic of smart contracts + tokenization to<br />

apps.<br />

Mobile means new user behavior Mobile 1st experiences<br />

have been a missing piece to take crypto to the<br />

masses Similar to the early smartphone days, putting<br />

GPS and camera on every phone enabled new and<br />

unique apps like Uber, and IG What innovation will xNFT<br />

Backpack enable?<br />

A new frontier of distribution You don’t need to wait<br />

for Apple or Play Store to approve your crypto app<br />

You can build an xNFT TODAY and add it to the xNFT<br />

library and distribute it to over 1M addresses in closed<br />

Beta Yeah, there are already 1M addresses inside of<br />

Backpack!<br />

there are already<br />

1M addresses<br />

inside of<br />

Backpack<br />

How do the Mad Lads fit into this? Simply put, the<br />

Mad Lads are the native collection of Backpack If<br />

Backpack is the village, Mad Lads are the earliest<br />

pioneers and OG villagers These are super fans who<br />

took a chance on Backpack, or maybe just enjoy the<br />

stunning art.


If you would like to be part of the cultural foundation<br />

and distribution for Backpack’s tooling then look no<br />

further.<br />

If you would like to be part of the cultural foundation<br />

and distribution for Backpack’s tooling then look no<br />

further<br />

Should you hold a Mad Lad NFT? (Not financial advice)<br />

If you are a fan of what @xNFTBackpack is building,<br />

it seems like a good idea to have early and exclusive<br />

access and to be part of its crazy fun, and vibrant community<br />

The Mad Lads community is organic & strong.<br />

Wen mint? There have been some hints that the<br />

mint will be this month (April) and that the mint price<br />

will be ~7 SOL. Half of the 10k will be WL’d, with the<br />

remainder going to a fair, open, and *bot free* mint.<br />

The WL claim to the mint itself will be *inside of<br />

Backpack*<br />

Mad Lads are in the drivers seat of Backpack As part<br />

of the community you will have a key role shaping the<br />

features, experiences, and magic of @xNFT_Backpack.


What kind of market are Mad Lads minting in? The Solana NFT market currently has a big vacuum left by De-<br />

Gods and Y00ts leaving the chai. The Mad Lads are the biggest mint of the year and are well positioned to fill<br />

that gap at the top. People are ready for a new hot mint.<br />

Mad Lads are launching at the same time as @SolanaMobile SAGA phone is the first implementation of a<br />

crypto native mobile stack that will work hand in hand with Backpack. This will usher in a new era for crypto<br />

builders and users.<br />

Final thoughts Backpack is 10x better version of Metamask. With the iPhone, it was hard to predict the quality<br />

of apps that launched in the years after the App Store went live. We at @_frictionless_ see similar killer apps<br />

launching in Backpack. It’s gonna be Mad, Lads.


Disclosures @_frictionless_ is an early investor in xNFT Backpack. We will be minting the NFTs. None of this<br />

thread constitutes investment, tax, or business advice Please make your own informed decisions based on<br />

your personal situation.<br />

Backpack is a 10x better<br />

version of Metamask

@StonedApeCrew, one of the bluechips of Solana<br />

SAC is a project that checks all the boxes. They have Unique utility and a top tier community<br />

and IP. They have 2 current collections, Stoned apes, a gen 1 providing $PUFF and<br />

community access. Nuked apes a gen 2 providing less $PUFF but that same community<br />

access.<br />

The first thing about SAC that most people catch is the community. As Stoned Ape PFPs<br />

run rapidly through twitter spreading positive vibes the HOTBOX VC in the discord is<br />

always a good play to chill out. Lastly the Alpha chat has some of the best takes and ideas<br />

in Solana.<br />

Stoned ape has recently done a big push for lore as they have started to produce some<br />

great storytelling and have done lots for the people who enjoy that type of stuff. SAC has<br />

recently adapted to developing the story, nurturing the SAC vibe, and building with the<br />

community.<br />

148 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>105</strong>


For utility, SAC doesn’t lack they have a platform<br />

called @MonetSAC that allows people to<br />

raffle off any Solana NFT with most of the top<br />

SPL tokens. Monet also allows communities to<br />

gain rev share through raffles created under<br />

that specific community.<br />

To add to the utility @StonedApeCrew has<br />

recently done a Collab with STIP Seeds. The<br />

consumer arm of a global seed bank giant. They<br />

have invested 6 figures into this partnership so<br />

there is going to be more news with this down<br />

the road.<br />

The second utility that SAC has to offer is<br />

Payleaf. A payment solution built by Stoned<br />

Ape Crew, with the initial purpose of improving<br />

the way dispensaries and other businesses<br />

manage funds, while reducing costs, and<br />

saving money<br />

To add to the various utilities, they have to<br />

offer Stoned ape crew also is doing IRL drops<br />

in partnerships with multiple companies. They<br />

recently announced that more IRL drops will be<br />

available soon so keep a lookout. SAC already<br />

has merch out on their website.


Overall @StonedApeCrew has a lot to offer and isn’t going to stop building anytime soon.


WITH SENTIENTSHAPES<br />

It’s another great day to smell the roses…ironically, there are no roses here to<br />

smell, it’s only a turn of phrase. See what I did there? Introducing you to our next<br />

literary device. Irony takes a deft hand and using it to overload your work can be<br />

laborious and tiresome for the reader. However, well placed Irony can be a<br />

welcome conduit to humor in an otherwise dark scene. When something is ironic in<br />

our real lives it is normally not as easy to see its humor or the humor is rather<br />

“dark”. However when we use Irony as a literary device in our writing we can<br />

command the reader to infer meaning rather than using sarcasm. We can say<br />

something in Irony that allows the reader to travel different avenues than they<br />

might’ve otherwise planned, a well placed Irony can be skillfully used as<br />

foreshadowing or even social commentary.<br />

Can you tell the subtle difference between Irony and sarcasm? Sarcasm is the use<br />

of Irony to mock or taunt whereas Irony on its own is something completely<br />

different! See how intricate words are and how they can connect us to<br />

understanding? I find that minute difference between Irony and sarcasm to mean<br />

the world to me when understanding the concepts of my own writings. Definitions<br />

and terms are there to help us as writers so we can understand and define the<br />

use of literary devices within our work to imbue meaning and define our particular<br />

artistic cadence through our words!<br />

1/3


WITH SENTIENTSHAPES<br />

Now, it’s time to practice!<br />

Step 1: Grab your notebook and a BLACK pen as black is the only ink that won’t<br />

fade. And now with everything you can muster…let’s be ironic, or poetically ironic,<br />

possibly with a hint of sarcasm too…<br />

Step 2: Let’s think of some ironic statements that might mean something to the<br />

reader, or to us personally…i.e. I knew a pilot with a fear of heights. A busy girl<br />

says, “I love having all the time in the world.” I know the end of Ophelia…(ouch!<br />

That one is sad…)<br />

Step 3: Add some meat to your poem sandwich! It needs some filling from your<br />

ideas. Ironically, the examples of irony are hard. Or rather I think that’s<br />

unironically…<br />

Step 4: Wrap it all up with a bow. Let’s end on an Irony–if you think you’re able!<br />

Think of something simple that can portray a deeper meaning than when first<br />

looked at.<br />

2/3


WITH SENTIENTSHAPES<br />

Here’s mine:<br />

The Irony of Happiness<br />

you really think<br />

you’ll be happy now<br />

you’ve gotten what you want<br />

but that ain’t it<br />

no how<br />

you’re not happy now<br />

there’s something else you need<br />

or want it anyhow<br />

the irony of happiness<br />

is that you’ve already had it somehow<br />

just get it out your pocket<br />

it’s that easily found<br />

Sometimes Irony can be said in verse, just like any<br />

literary device we can determine how greatly or<br />

how little any literary device affects our writing.<br />

Send me the poems you make<br />

I can’t wait to see what you write!<br />

The floor price of Okay Bears dropped by 20 SOL to around 55 SOL after their presentation<br />

at NFT NYC on April 13. The Wise and Wisest of whales have been buying on this<br />

dip. Buys by whales outweigh sales by 9. Floor seems to have bottomed around 55 SOL &<br />

sits at 61 currently.<br />

Much like OKBears, the floor price of Claynosaurz dropped by 10 SOL to around 70 SOL<br />

after their event at NFT NYC on April 13. The Wise and Wisest of whales have been buying<br />

around the 70 level. Floor seems to have bottomed here. Buys by whales outweigh<br />

sales by 7.<br />

The Wolf Capital floor has been trending lower after hitting 9.48 SOL on April 9th. However,<br />

prices might have bottomed around the 5.85/90 level as whales have reduced their sales. Buys by<br />

whales outweigh sales by 20.<br />

The Famous Foxes floor has been trending lower after hitting 65 SOL on April 9th. However,<br />

prices might have bottomed around the 56 level where it sits currently. Buys by whales outweigh<br />

sales by 28. In the last week, there have been 8 more buys than there were listings.<br />

That’s a wrap for this week, folks. Stay tuned for another weekly recap next Saturday.

ZMB Wave 2 is dropping. What you need to know.<br />

WTF is a @zeromonkebiz?<br />

Zero Monke Biz is 4,269 hand drawn monkes<br />

from @ohareyoufat (and friends ... more on that<br />

below) Tony’s brilliance is his ability to critique<br />

derivative art in his own playful and unique<br />

style. Each ZMB is rare and unique.<br />

Who is Tony?<br />

Tony is a classically trained artist with many<br />

accomplishments. From celebrities like @Kim-<br />

Kardashian wearing his t-shirts, selling out his<br />

first solo show at the prestigious Palo Gallery<br />

in SoHo, and now presenting amazing art and<br />

fun experiences on Solana.<br />

ZMB Waves Creating 4,269 hand-drawn monkeys<br />

is no small feat, so Tony strategically<br />

divided the collection into four separate waves.<br />

Wave 1 was an instant success, selling out rapidly<br />

and generating over ◎10,000 in secondary<br />

market volume within just the first 24 hours!<br />

Wave 2<br />

Wave 2 holds a unique charm, as it incorporates<br />

contributions from friends. While attending<br />

NFT NYC, Tony carried his iPad along,<br />

allowing renowned artists from the community<br />

to add their own creative interpretations of<br />

monkeys to this wave. A few examples<br />
