Hello friends 👋,

Welcome to another edition of hidden gems, where I curate onchain art, content, products, events and more (sometimes memes).

No long intro today; let's get into it.

This conceptual artwork has some serious interactions going on under the hood. It invites you to ponder around the rapid pace of development in the blockchain space, where multiple L2s, or blockchains on top of blockchains, are quickly rising.

"You Are Here" is an onchain conceptual-generative artwork that plays with the act of bridging between blockchains. The individual tokens of the collection are bridgeable between various EVM-based blockchains. Every bridge transfer creates a visual trace between the chain ids. The traces between two chains intensifies every time the token is bridged between them. The token traces the history of the last 100 bridging transfers.

If you read last week's email, you know I'm in the process of bringing our community, newsletter, and podcast onchain.

Phase 1 (Paragraph migration) went well, and now we are moving to phase 2, subscription token distribution.

But first, why am I doing this?

An onchain monthly membership (via NFT) provides incredible benefits in a smooth and Web 3 native way, such as access to premium content, Discord & Farcaster chat, whitelists, airdrops, newsletter & podcast as collectibles, and even revenue-sharing among members.

You also get the NFT, a symbol to show you are part of this community.

And... You can cancel anytime. That keeps me motivated and committed to creating the best content I can.

The new subscription token will be live very soon; all current premium members will receive it first.

If you are an active premium member, you can fill out this form to receive the airdrop (you can still renew your subscription if it expired).

Daylight.xyz is a product that has been getting a lot of traction because it does something quite unique. It helps creators reach their audience and collectors find interesting mints, airdrops, and whitelists.

Reminder: Although this looks like an ad, I don't get paid for any of the content I include in the hidden gems. I select them based on quality, safety, and what I enjoy myself.

I offer ads, sponsorships and partnerships, but I make sure to tag those and let you know when that's the case.

Last week, I published a great chat with Nat, co-founder of Highlight.xyz. We went deep into Highlight's vision, the current state of digital art, and some exciting collaborations with artists like Zancan, Ana Maria Caballero, and Melissa Wiederrecht and leaders in the space like Coinbase, Bright Moments, and Foundation.

Bitcoin crossed the $70,000 price tag, and we can feel it. I don't know where it goes from here, but this is clearly positive for Web 3, digital art, and everyone who loves everything happening onchain.

I know the volume hasn't been felt in the digital art space (only a bit), but remember, whatever you are trying to achieve, be patient, don't overextend, and enjoy the process.

It is always great to hear from you, and feedback is always appreciated...

• How can I improve?

• What kind of content do you enjoy the most?

• What topics would you like me to research next?

• Who should be the next podcast guest?

Just reply to this email, I read my inbox everyday.

This is a collectible newsletter edition. How cool is that?
