24 HOURS OF ART: Wednesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 12/10 - 12/11
Latent Explosion
‘Latent Ink’ 1/1/500 by Eko33 with Fellowship and ARTXCODE is on fire.
212.4 ETH in sales are currently recorded with more than 50+ ETH live in auction countdown. Less than 50 of the artworks remain available.
‘#028’ (pictured) appears destined to become the collection’s all-time high, with a 4 ETH bid in auction countdown (ends 11:23am ET).
Via Alejandro Cartagena:
“We had a hunch that this was going to be special and that the work would talk on its own… I love to see artists win, especially when so much effort and care is put into what they do.”
Tradeoffs are Games
Exactly one month ago, Jack Butcher and Jalil released a new Ethereum Artifacts protocol with the artwork ‘Tradeoffs’, minted nearly 150,000 times.
‘Drag’ is a new mint that launches a ‘Redeemed’ collection with the description “The tradeoffs will continue.” Each ‘Drag’ required 64 burned ‘Tradeoffs’.
Ultimately 507 editions of ‘Drag’ are minted (and a massive 32,448 ‘Tradeoffs’ are burned!) The edition has a current list of 0.1799 ETH.

Closing Thoughts
Big numbers at the top of the day! A collection of the year candidate winds down.
Elsewhere volume slows but highlights stay strong across Fidenzas, Winds, Gazers, Beeple, and XCOPY.
It’s nice to see LG Art Lab finding its way after pivoting from 1/1 releases to accessible edition counts, first with Mendezmendez and now Bryan Brinkman.
