I just deployed my own custom Auction House on Ethereum mainnet through the GBM protocol. GBM is a win-win auction system where bidders earn rewards when they get outbid. The higher the bid, the higher the reward. This turns auctions into an event where everybody wins. The platform fee is only 2% as well, so it's one of the best win/win/win models I've seen.

Here is a cute video they have made when I requested more info:

With all the platform drama I've (we all have really) experienced as an artist in crypto art, GBM reached out to me to see if I would be interested in what they were building. After a bit of research and waiting for the public release, I decided to launch my first auction house: _Imperial Bazaar_. Right now it serves as just my personal auction house, but eventually I will expand it for anyone to buy and sell my artwork. I feel this is a balanced step towards sovereignty while leveraging the rewards of a network.

Right now I put 6 of my 1/1s from my Giga Rare Manifold contract up for 7 day auction with low reserves and high rewards set to encourage people to bid and try it out! I'm also talking with the team about future things because they are communicative, responsive, and open to different ideas.

At the beginning of the year I cancelled my Shopify store. I was trying it out because of the USDC payment integrations, but honestly I prefer building with Web3-native brands right now.

I’m currently working with [Luna Launcher](https://lunalauncher.io/#home), run by [ArtistBTC](https://x.com/TheArtistBTC) (who was an art ambassador with me at Gamma), on developing physical prints tied to an Ordinals drop. We’re finalizing the details so stay tuned, but here is a sneak peak <3

Thank you so much [@TheArtistBTC](https://twitter.com/TheArtistBTC) for working with me so closely to test printing my work on metallic paper. It came out as insane as expected.  
  
We will be launching a limited edition series soon with this being the first where you
