Hello Transient Family,

October has been packed with project launches, open calls, IRL exhibitions, our first Transient Labs Creator Conference, and more. Read on for a comprehensive overview of our project releases, the Transient Labs Creator Conference, Transient Visions 3, and uncover alpha for upcoming projects.

Transient Labs Creator Conference (TLCC)

The first-ever conference without a conference, exploring recent innovations by Transient Labs.

LaunchPad: Launchpad is your discovery tool, an unparalleled gateway to the Transient Labs ecosystem. Whether you're searching for creative works using keywords or browsing via URLs, Launchpad opens the doors to Transient's growing catalog of innovative artwork. It provides rich tool sets that allow you to engage with groundbreaking Transient Labs Smart Contracts.

T.R.A.C.E: Tokenized Records for Artwork/Asset Certification and Evolution. Certificates of authenticity (COAs) have evolved for digitally-native assets but remain stagnant in the physical world. T.R.A.C.E. is securing the authenticity of next-generation physical assets and artwork through verifiable records inscribed on the blockchain.

Payload: Payload is the first payment service from Transient Labs, enabling easy financing for any digital object. Payload provides seller financing—allowing buyers to acquire digital objects by paying over time in a defined, programmatic agreement, all on-chain.

🚀 Projects and Collaborations launched in October

Tigerbobs’s “1st Anniversary Exhibition”: A collection of 13 exclusive art pieces handcrafted by Gossamer Rozen from dozens of hand-drawn traits. Each edition corresponds to the “Theme” trait from Tigerbob Genesis.

Hayden Clay’s “The Suburbs”: Hayden Clay launched a collection of 4 editions (25 each) using Story Inscriptions. Four lucky collectors won a free edition by submitting a personal memory before the mint, and those winning memories were inscribed as ‘creator’ stories on each edition. Sold Out!

Juice Brun’s “Hands out the window // Catching a second wind”: Juice Brun’s first dynamic piece starts as a hand-drawn illustration. However, after clicking on the butterfly, you are transported into a new world… which is a music video with the animation & music by Juice—listed as a 3.8E reserve.

Aaron Huey’s “First Film”: The collection documents Aaron’s transformative journey through Svaneti, a secluded mountain region in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia (1998-2000). We minted 650 ERC721TL tokens for a total gas cost of only 0.032E, which is 15x more efficient than other market solutions!

Mr.Richi’s “Venus de Crypto: Defender of the Metaverse” Explores crypto art and metaverse experiences through the prism of comic books. One hundred twenty unique 1/1s were carefully created element by element, so each has a different voice, built on the Collector's Choice Smart contract.

Tender Art’s “Reflections”: A seminal exhibition curated by Adam Berninger of Tender Art, exhibits portrait series by nine pioneering AI artists. It’s the first TENDER Presence, their take on large-scale exhibitions – encapsulating the latest energy in generative art and curated around a theme that advances the medium. Each digital artwork includes a physical painting by ArtMatr. We built the website and powered the collecting experience with our auction house and contracts. The exhibition is live.

Game Cellar’s “Totality Begins”: The Game Cellar is a premier media company specializing in web3 gaming coverage for communities like Parallel, The Watch, Treeverse, A.N.I.M.O., and more. “Totality Begins” is a dynamic collection of art featuring work by Shakkablood, Nook.jpeg, orphan_crypto, and liquid density, utilizing the Doppelganger Contract. One dynamic piece, one day, and one-night version per artist; that's 12 works of art in 1 token. The mint is live at 0.0420E per edition: https://stacks.transientlabs.xyz/gamecellar
