Been seeing a lot of people repping their 6529 io profiles. Let's do it 6529 dot io / onegweitoday

SquiggleDAO has placed Squiggle #8434 at the MACBA Museum in Argentina where it will be permanently displayed using the Squiggle Display Station! 🎉🎉🎉 MACBA Buenos Aires (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires) is a leading institution in Argentina’s contemporary art scene, widely recognized for its deep focus on geometric and abstract art. Its collection emphasizes form, color, structure, and systems, creating a strong dialogue between historical geometric movements and contemporary practices. This curatorial focus makes MACBA an important platform for works rooted in logic, repetition, and visual rhythm. The museum’s holdings include significant works by key figures in geometric and kinetic art, most notably Julio Le Parc, whose practice explores perception, movement, and viewer participation. Alongside Le Parc, MACBA’s collection reflects a broader lineage of Latin American and international geometric abstraction, reinforcing its role as a steward of systematic and perceptual art traditions. Within this context, the Chromie Squiggle is a natural and compelling fit. MACBA has recently added a Squiggle to their permanent collection and will become the first museum to permanently display a Squiggle, a major achievement given how rare permanent displays are compared to temporary exhibitions! The museum is also the first to present the work using the Display Station, creating an interactive experience that allows visitors to engage directly with generative digital art and marking an important milestone in its institutional adoption. The Display Station will also be permanently installed at the front of the museum in order to maximize exposure and usage. The glass storefront allows anyone walking by to experience the Squiggle, maximizing exposure to foot traffic.

William Mapan (@williamapan) treats the algorithm like a drawing hand. His work holds gesture and restraint inside a system, where the rule does not erase the mark but carries it. Distance builds each composition through a generative process that resembles a hand moving across paper. The path is set by code, yet the result reads as intention. The same system produces work after work, and no two resolve in quite the same way. His work was part of our exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.

Looking to form a curating committee of 3 photographers who are interested in curating the top 16 for Keys and Gates submissions. Nominate yourself, your fren who might be a good fit for this 👇 Will try and get 20M TDH allocated for this committee. You can earn REP for the time and energy Only ask- No conflict of interest. Pick the top 16.

Thursday morning thoughts on The Memes by 6529: NFTs get interesting when they stop being objects of pure speculation and start becoming coordination mechanisms. The Memes by 6529 is working to become an example of this. Most people look at NFTs and see speculation: buy low, sell higher, repeat. But The Memes introduces a different model. The financial layer is still there, but it is not the whole game. It becomes part of the alignment mechanism. When you buy a Meme Card, you are not just buying an image. You are buying into a cultural, ideological, and governance network with an ambitious goal of coordinating state-sized decentralized GDP. The first glimpses of this decentralized coordination are the selection and funding of an open source cc0 public library of art and science projects through community TDH voting. That changes the psychology of ownership. There is nothing wrong with purely speculative NFT projects for the fun of the game, but the best outcome is often to sell to someone else for more than you paid. It is zero-sum-ish. Your exit is someone else’s entry. But with The Memes, selling is not only a financial decision. It is also a governance decision. Because when you sell a Meme card, you lose the TDH that has accumulated on it from holding over time (each card you hold generates daily TDH). You lose influence. You lose voting power. You lose part of your ability to shape what comes next. So the question becomes: Is the price I can sell this for worth more than the future optionality, governance, status, access, and alignment I get by continuing to hold it? That is a very different mechanism. It turns capital expenditure into proof of alignment. Not perfect alignment. Not pure altruism. But incentivized alignment. Anonymous individuals across the internet can coordinate around shared values without needing to know each other, trust each other, or form a traditional organization. The NFT becomes the shared object. The meme becomes the shared language. TDH becomes the coordination weight. This is where NFTs get interesting again. Not as JPEGs. Not as flexes. Not as lottery tickets. But as portable cultural infrastructure. The financial value matters, but it matters because it gives the system gravity. People pay attention to what they have capital at risk in. They show up. They vote. They hold. They debate. They signal. They recruit. They build. The mistake is thinking financialization automatically corrupts everything. Sometimes financialization is the mechanism that makes coordination durable. The key difference is whether the asset only rewards exit, or whether it also rewards participation. The Memes by 6529 points toward a future where NFTs are not just things to flip, but instruments for aligning decentralized groups around ideas, governance, and public goods. A meme is easy to dismiss. But a meme with capital, culture, and governance attached to it starts to look like something much more powerful: a network of strangers learning how to move in the same direction. “Decentralized Decision Network” by @blac_ai Meme card #370

Five years of Fidenza. Tyler Hobbs’ landmark generative series continues to shape how we think about code, composition, and contemporary art. TMA was proud to feature Hobbs’ work in Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms, an exhibition exploring the creative possibilities of algorithmic art.

Happy birthday to the most important project in web3. Hoping to see some acceleration this year into the real 0 to 1 moment for my favourite project, where it goes from an ambitious niche of diehards experimenting onchain to a more direct onboarding machine of a human based blockchain/system. TDH can be so much more. The world needs this more than ever.

We shall be here making our mark, as river on rock over the eons Happy Birthday The Memes x.com/punk6529/status/206446…

The Memes are 4 years old today 1/ every week, we support public domain art, science, and the infrastructure buildout of a decentralized network state 2/ now 4th in market cap after punks, bayc, pengus 3/ delusionally, irrationally, unreasonably ambitious goals 4/ it is not too late to get involved; in fact, we are just getting started 🎂

RT @batsoupyum: If you’re an artist and have any interest (I know it’s not for everybody), it’s a great time to put together a meme card. L…

Eventually blockchains will be judged not by how efficiently they move value - but by the irreplaceable value they preserve.

Tyler Hobbs (@tylerxhobbs) builds systems where the unexpected becomes the signature. His work sits at the meeting point of control and chance, where a set of rules produces something no one could have drawn by hand. In Fidenza, his most well-known series, flow fields curve and crowd across the canvas, never repeating, yet every output is unmistakably his. The structure is authored. The surprise is generated. His work was featured in our 2025 exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.

Way back in the day before I sold out to my current industrial career producing steel, little do people know that I was a 20 year old art director of a gallery in SoHo located on Spring Street in New York City in the late 1980s. Very thankful and blessed for my day job today but so happy that my absolute love of art would be reborn now in Web3. 🙏🏻

Zuzalu, Praxis, Network School, and 6529 are all exploring different paths to the Network State. Each starts from a different premise: Zuzalu explores temporary, high-trust coordination experiments. @VitalikButerin Praxis is pursuing the ambitious goal of building a new city. @drydenwtbrown Network School is building physical campuses for founders, builders, and startup societies. @balajis 6529 is focused on creating the coordination infrastructure for a decentralized economy. @punk6529 6529 is perhaps closest to Zuzalu, but designed to operate continuously and at global scale. Its focus is on the primitives of coordination: Identity. Reputation. Ownership. Culture. Governance. The systems that help humans and AI agents discover each other, build trust, allocate capital, and work together. The others begin with physical communities. 6529 begins with digital coordination but will extend into the physical world. It isn’t obvious which model will prove most successful. We are still early. But in an AI world, the bottleneck may not be intelligence. It may be trusted coordination between people, agents, capital, and institutions. All four experiments are fascinating, but I am particularly drawn to 6529 because it focuses on scalable, durable coordination. A decentralized economy needs more than land. It needs identity, reputation, ownership, culture, and governance. Those are the primitives 6529 is exploring. 6529. Built on Memes. Built on Ethereum. The network is designed to run forever.

250 pizzas later we got our 6 Meme Card winners 🍕🍕🍕 Place 1-3 receives 6529Pizza by us Place 4-6 receives An Intro to 6529 by @punk8164 Stack that TDH or die trying

simply incredible

1/ What are the core primitives of a decentralized economy? Identity. Reputation. Ownership. Culture. Coordination. The 6529 Network State, envisioned by @punk6529, is building all five. 2/ NIC (identity) answers: Who are you? 3/ REP answers: What have you contributed? What skills do you have? 4/ TDH and network assets answer: What is your stake in the network? How can we secure the system? 5/ Culture answers: What do we believe in? Shared values (e.g. The Memes) dramatically reduce coordination costs. “Freedom to Transact” ✊ 6/ Governance answers: How do we make decisions together? 7/ AI makes these primitives even more important. Humans and AI agents both need identity, reputation, incentives, and trust to coordinate effectively. At some point @RaoulGMI will realize that 6529 is building the apex predator economy for the age of AI. 8/ The most valuable thing 6529 may provide is trusted coordination at internet scale. The ability for millions of humans and AI agents to discover each other, trust each other, and build together. 9/ NFTs are not the destination. They are the bootstrap mechanism. The destination is a decentralized economy capable of coordinating nation-scale dGDP.

I joined crypto a decade ago because it promised something big: freedom. Art was one of the first places where that promise became real. Today that promise feels more important than ever. And I’m optimistic because this may be our best shot. Remember why you are here.

Emily Xie (@emilyxxie) weaves code into patterns that feel inherited. Her work sits beautifully between textile history, computation, and memory. As one of our 2025 Digital Artists in Residence, she transformed Gallery 5 into an interactive environment, extending her generative systems into glass and material form. Her work was also featured in our 2025 exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.
