STORY OF THE BEAK AND THE FOUNDER. On may 5, 2026, a livestream on x began in a way that almost didn’t ask to be noticed. no rollout. no framing narrative. no attempt to turn it into an “event.” just a blank surface, waiting. and dima kashtalyan started drawing a bird. not producing it. not generating it. not outsourcing it to anything faster than thought. just making it. one dot placed, then another, then another again each one small enough to feel insignificant alone, but irreversible once it existed. and slowly, something that wasn’t there began to take shape in real time. stippling is drawing reduced to its most honest constraint. no lines to carry direction. no shading to fake transition. no blending to smooth uncertainty. only dots. each mark is placed individually, and each one changes what everything around it means. light appears where space is left untouched. shadow forms where that space is taken away. the entire image is built from nothing but density, distance, and time. there is no correction phase waiting at the end. no layer to hide behind. the drawing is exactly what was done to it, nothing more and nothing less. what makes his work linger is not just the technique, but what happens when the technique is pushed against imagination. the method is controlled, almost disciplined to a fault repetition, patience, precision. but the imagery refuses to stay disciplined. a bird carrying something architectural in its body, as if it grew structures instead of feathers. a fox fused with fragments of a city it shouldn’t be able to absorb. figures placed in worlds that don’t align historically or logically, yet feel emotionally familiar. the structure tries to contain the idea. the idea keeps slipping past it. and that tension is where the work becomes alive. it has travelled from walls in minsk to pages in the new york times, harper’s magazine, and mit technology review, and into large-scale installations that treat time itself as part of the medium. including a 25-metre mural in romania, completed with full awareness that weather would eventually undo it slowly, inevitably. because nothing here was built to resist disappearance. only to finish before it arrived. and then there is 1,111. not as marketing structure. not as artificial rarity. not as a number designed to feel collectible. but as the natural ceiling of a process that depends entirely on human endurance. stippling does not scale without changing its nature. it cannot be accelerated without flattening what makes it distinct. it cannot be delegated without losing the hand inside it. so the limit isn’t chosen for attention it’s what remains when the process is taken seriously. 1,111 is simply the point where adding more would no longer be the same language. On may 5, the first beak was finished live. same hand shaped by years of painting across minsk walls. same discipline built from decades of repetition. same refusal to turn slowness into spectacle. and when the final dot was placed, there was no reveal moment. only a drawing that finally existed long enough to stay. Don’t be left out. @thebeaksart @DKashtalyan

NFTs aren’t dead.
Two months ago we said the next era was starting. Since then, every day has gone into drawing all 3,333 Sarus by hand, building the world, refining the vision, and making sure this launches the right way, not the rushed way. Fill: forms.gle/kiKXwwgd3N2FmHex7 Now the timing finally feels right. 48H.

Came across a post yesterday about Grass Network Points, but it didn’t fully explain how it works, so I did some digging myself. Here’s the simple breakdown 👇 • Network Points are only earned when your bandwidth is actively being used by the network. • A total of 1 million Network Points are distributed daily. • Even with solid uptime, you can still earn 0 Network Points if your node isn’t utilized to transmit data requests. • Uptime Points, on the other hand, are earned simply by staying connected and through referrals. There’s currently no official information on how Network Points may affect future allocations, but personally, I think they could play an important role in determining good allocations later on. Also, Epoch 18 has officially ended, and Epoch 19 is already live. For more details, refer to this: grass-foundation.gitbook.io/…
