Boldtron Vault Opens
‘The Vault of Wonders: Chapter 1 - The Abyssal Unseen’ by Boldtron begins its pre sale with Fellowship, sees 428 of the 1/1/1,000 collection sell in less than 24 hours.
78 of 100 ‘Hatchlings’, the collection’s unique specimens, sell for 27.4 ETH total (mixture of 0.4 ETH each or 0.2 ETH to alignDRAW holders). The remainder sell for 0.15 each or 0.075 ETH to alignDRAW holders.
Via Alejandro Cartagena (Fellowship):
”My fascination with the works of Boldtron stems from their ingenious and controlled utilization of AI's unpredictable nature. They've harnessed a level of control of what one might call 'digital hallucinations' in order to develop a new unique ecosystem of creatures that echo the aesthetic of Boldtron. These creations are not only visually compelling due to their vibrant chromatic palette and structured compositions reminiscent of past works by the creative duo, but they also cleverly integrate a familiar digital gesture: the loop.”

Closing Thoughts
Boldtron and Fellowship open with a bang despite the surge in ETH price, typically detrimental to art NFT sales. The release follows in the larger collection Fellowship lineage of alignDRAW and Niceaunties, each separated by several months. Fun fact: Niceaunties recommended Boldtron to Fellowship.
Art in general performed nicely with the macro backdrop in mind. Siddhis8 came in strong with several 1/1/X secondary acquisitions, Javier Arrés saw a few sales ahead of his MakersPlace release, and Antxx24 went into the Ryan Talbot archives for three limited edition collects.
Plenty of incoming collections to observe, led by the continuation of Boldtron’s pre sale, Rainisto’s Vacation, and an Artemis x Tribul release (curated by SuzanneNFTs) that has received a strong undercurrent of praise.
