Anniversary interview with ciphrd
We recorded an amazing session with ciphrd in which we talk all things year one of fxhash, fx(params), live minting, and about the new consumable tokens. Take a listen, or read the transcript via fx(text).
SMOLSKULL fam
Will has been slowly spending his tez windfall and is now the proud owner (again) of a Smol. For anyone looking to get into a gradient, #1680 was available near-ish the floor at the time of recording.

02. Projects of the Week
Punktwelt
Erik Swahn made a huuuuuge comeback with Punktwelt, one of the most discussed projects of the week. While an homage to the much-loved Farbteiler, it brings exciting new textures, colors, and dimension to the table.
Projects and pieces discussed -
Punktwelt #97
fx(mash)
Rich Poole's contribution to the anniversary event is a true celebration of the first year of the platform, with a variety of callouts and homages to other artists and famed fxhash work.
Projects and pieces discussed -
fx(mash) #255
fx(mash) #20
Mantle
Michael Connelly (aka xiiixiii) was previously famed for Repeater, a project that dropped at literally the same time as Garden, Monoliths, and on the same day as Farbteiler (aka a day to remember).
Projects and pieces discussed -
Mantle #346
Mantle #342
Annum
Podcast favorite Landlines may have had the biggest brain when it came to the anniversary event; 365 is a great symbolic number, but one that only allows a few to celebrate. By going big to 8760 editions, he was able to ensure that everyone who wanted a piece could get one.
Shaders = True was one of the delightful features of the drop, but the ultra rare RGB is the hero. We'd embed a piece here to show you, but unfortunately the nearly 8k pieces crashes the fx(text) editor. Please enjoy this uploaded image instead.
03. Shoutouts
Verdant Brut
Verdant Brut very nearly hit the top charts for the week, being pushed out by the huge surge in beta projects. You can read more about the project via their fx(text) article.
We also mention Commune, the artists fxhash genesis project.
Ceremony
cc0x0x0, for those who aren't in the know, is jeres' alt account where they release work that leverages art in the public domain.
Don't forget to tap 'F' to enter 'forever' mode!
Ceremony is now officially minted out! I saved the last reserve for @lisaorthstudio, as Open Concept was such an inspiration for this, and it really shows with the final mint! I present: Ceremony #365 and Open Concept #150, which I collected just before dropping Ceremony. 🔗👇
Space, Mystery, Light & Time
The real mystery is that work from such a regarded artist is still available to mint. Read more about Rodell on his website.
Modulation
Randm had an immediate hit with Modulation, and has seen steady growth over the trajectory of their fxhash career. This project is sure to please anyone who has a love of isometric work.

Ataraxis
Liam Egan is at it again with another ambitiously large project. Although burned down to a mere 700 editions, the project originally sat with more than double that.
