9 minutes.
some of you loved it. some of you hated it. some of you grabbed a pen and made something of your own with it. someone drew a few derivs with their feet.
that's the most honest reaction art can get. not everyone clapping, not silence, but people actually feeling something and doing something with it. that's the whole point.
monx was hand drawn. some messy by design. some more refined. 777 pieces that exist on their own terms, and the meaning of each one is yours to find, not ours to assign. that's why there are purposefully no traits. it turned the collection into something you had to dig through.
and some people did for hours. scrolling, finding sets, spotting connections, landing on the one piece that felt like theirs. same feeling as digging through a box of pokemon cards. you pass over a hundred you don't want until you find the one you didn't know you were looking for.
what comes next is about recognition. not just within crypto and not just on the ledger. yesterday we had projects from across web3 show up to mint, including names from eth and solana. whether they stick around is up to us as a collective. but the door is and always has been open, and monx will do its part to keep finding reasons to bring more people through it. people who live completely outside of this space, brands, communities, names you wouldn't expect.
first order of business:
- we're still digging through flooded DMs. if you reached out, we'll get to you. give us time.
- we're starting work with the winners of the custom 1/1s, and we'll be sharing what the future of the customs will be soon.
- and we're building the next event. the hunt was a glimpse with each one after outdoing the last.
we won't forget where we started. this ledger gave monx its first home. the people who showed up, minted, argued, dug through the collection, drew derivs with their feet, and made noise yesterday. you're the origin. and origin is the one thing that can never be rewritten.
the best is ahead, but it belongs to you first.
welcome to the monxion.
