Here's the breakdown of the first user-generated Chonk Traits from our Ugly Sweater Contest last week! We edited the 176 submissions down to 100 to be sold and sent 0.45832 ETH or ~$1,431.79 to creators as they cemented their work onchain as real, tradable Chonks traits! Thanks to everyone who created and collected! Happy new year from me, @marka, and the Chonks community!

A look back at our first year since launch https://x.com/backseats_eth/status/1996974112996991030?s=46

CHONKS MARKETPLACE UPGRADE ANNOUNCEMENT Today, we will be updating the Chonks Marketplace smart contract to an upgradeable proxy contract. The current marketplace is now paused while we make the change. Existing Listings and Bids will be reset as the new contract has new storage. In future upgrades to that contract, storage will not be reset. If you have a bid locked in the marketplace (about 0.09 ETH is in there), you will be able to reclaim that back via our front end still. As noted in the image below, the base version of the proxy contract will be largely the same as the market that has been live to date, as a safe base starting place while we continue to test the features in Step 2 below. We gave ourselves 1 year from last year's deployment to set the ChonkTraits and ChonksMarkets contracts permanently. Tonight at 7:53p EST, we get locked out of doing those upgrades to our own contract. We did this in the spirit of decentralization. The original version of ChonksMarket was based on the CryptoPunks contract but over time, that's come to feel limiting as users are used to the experience of a market like OpenSea. ChonksMarketV2 will support USDC, WETH bids on Chonks, Traits, and (new!) TraitIndexes (so you can put up a bid to buy a Frog Head Trait and anyone who owns it can fulfill it). We'll also have support for gasless or gas-sponsored interactions. Decentralization is a spectrum and to keep Chonks dynamic, we thought this was the best upgrade path for our ever-important marketplace. If you used the first version of the ChonksMarketplace contract in any way – buys, listings, or bids – we'll have something for you in the new year. We'll let everyone know when the new marketplace is open later today. As always, comments, questions, and feedback are more than welcome. Thanks! Backseats and @marka

We don’t need another postmortem on NFTs failing to live up to the hype, utility, Blur, and floor prices. We need more on examples of interesting programmable, composable media that attract new audiences and happen to be NFTs on the backend.

Less time being mad at what NFTs haven’t been More time working on what they can be

Has anyone done a full-on deep dive on where Nouns succeeded and failed to date? Lessons learned, wins, etc. Would love to read it

Fun experiment: how do you beat an entrenched competitor from the pre-ai era who benefits from network effects but is a larger, bloated org and you’re fresh, nimble, fast, and AI-powered

For someone who does no longevity stuff other than eat decently and work out a few times a week, where should I begin?

Iterating on DAOs and governance seems like a good use of time, although unpopular, right now

Interesting idea

The toolset is finally here to build the best stuff on crypto rails Idk why twitter is so angry Time to cook
