Second To Last Squiggle
“Presenting Chromie Squiggle #9998! Co-owned by 3149 folks that signed the Squiggle Farewell contract.” says Snowfro.
The second to last Squiggle is a 25 Color Spread Slinky. It mints to the Farewell relic contract and has no transfer function, locking it there forever.
The final Chromie Squiggle mint - #9999 - is headed to LACMA, and Snowfro is slated to share more information “in the coming days/weeks”.

Closing Thoughts
It’s worth thinking about how Snowfro executed Chromie Squiggle. It’s a wonder that today, almost 3 full years since the original mint, significant live events are still happening. I’m certain he didn’t have exact plans for the final mints then, but I’m also certain he trusted himself to figure it out. Each move feels significant, thoughtful, and well executed. It’s a master class in building a collection with staying power.
