What's Dropping ⚡
Visa is launching a one-year NFT immersion program to bring together a global cohort of creators including artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers to build their businesses with NFTs. (read more below)
NFT marketplace OpenSea revealed it will integrate Solana NFTs on its platform in April.
Throwback to HypeBears! Forbes released an article on Alexandre Arnault— the 29-year-old son of Bernard Arnault, CEO of Louis Vuitton and the third-wealthiest person in the world— who just so happened to bid on 3 of the 5 rarest HypeBears pre-reveal. Arnault flipped them not long after the reveal. Insider trading? Possibly, but what is the son of the 3rd wealthiest man on the planet going to do with an extra $20,000?
Psychedelics Anonymous put on an epic event at NFT LA. See here.
A record sale for Azuki happened yesterday. Azuki #9605 was purchased for 420.7 ETH ($1.43 Million at time of purchase).
VeeFriends merch dropped and some people had choice words about the effort and design.
Visa's NFT Creator Program 💳
Visa, one of the world’s largest creditors, introduced its newest idea: The Visa Creator Program. The goal of the Program is to bring together a global cohort of digital creators and empower them through product strategy mentorship. Creators will be given access to Visa’s network of clients and partners, as well as mentored by Visa’s team of crypto product and strategy leaders, in order to deepen their fluency in crypto commerce and traditional payments. Visa will also distribute seed money into selected ventures in order to kick start project journeys.
Creators like @Micah_Johnson3 are at the forefront of NFTs. His work with Visa is an exciting introduction to the Visa Creator Program, a global opportunity for digital creators & artists looking to deepen their understanding of NFT commerce. Learn more: vi.sa/3LgsFvQ

In a space where artists are usually forgotten behind the work of the devs, it’s great to see Visa taking initiative on leveling out the playing field. With programs like these, artists will be given the resources needed to navigate the NFT war zone. Visa, YGMI.
Fidenza Drama 🚨
The artist behind one of the most successful and revered artblocks projects is suing the creator of Denzadol. Tyler Hobbes has issued a DCMA to the creator of Denzadol on the grounds that it is sufficiently a copy of Fidenza. Some folks have taken to Twitter to defend the derivative work.
In my opinion @tylerxhobbs decision to DMCA @denzadol is very sad. denzadol is a thoughtful comment and reinterpretation of the original work which had the guts to make the linkage explicit. No one will be confused between which is which and Hobbs is unharmed. A shame.

On the other hand, there are various groups that are more certain Denzadol was indeed infringing on Fidenza in a non permissible way.
You were using original code and seeding colors from Fidenza. Seems perfectly cromulent to me

The point at which it becomes challenging to claim that Tyler Hobbes is overreacting to the Denzadol project is when you learn that he has been developing the ‘flow field’ algorithm. This data is central to the sense of motion featured in Fidenza since 2016. This is the algorithm that Denzadol derives from, and it also draws on the unique color palette that Tyler Hobbes hand-selected for Fidenza. Derivative works can fly under the radar when they are they loosely interpret a source material for inspiration, but they become challenging when they rely on the same exact sources of formation that produced another work of art.
