• Deekay’s “DeePles Gen 2”: DeeKay’s vision of the DeePle-verse took a step forward in June. 1,000 spots were allocated across three windows for the 2nd generation of DeePles. Each mint comes with the freedom to personalize your DeePle through the Factory, now open for three months, featuring both common and rare traits. There's a lot more to come with this project, so keep your eyes peeled and follow DeeKay for more information!

• June Redthread’s ‘IAM: Waves Within’ is about the quiet, often unseen process of becoming. Through each piece, she explores the invisible forces — such as identity, memory, and connection — that shape who we are beneath the surface. It’s about feeling the slow shifts, the small awakenings, the quiet moments when we realize we’re changing. Drawn from her own journey, June invites us to look inward and notice those duplicate threads moving through our own lives.

• The Rio Art Residency: There are still a few more hours to support the Rio Art Residency by minting the Rio Patron Edition. This drop helps fund a week-long creative residency in Rio de Janeiro, giving artists space and inspiration to create. Each mint features one of 69 glitched Rio logos created using Juno, and comes with Shape medals, plus chances to win rewards from DeePles, Cities, and even a gristle buddee.
