Unearthing $B20, Balancing Technical Complexity & Community

Gather around the fireplace and let Rizzle and I take you on a trip down memory lane to the now infamous launch of the $B20 token back in January 2021 at the then largest metaverse event ever, Metapalooza. We talk about the token launch, original intent and technical underpinnings of the project that vaulted 20 unique Beeple 1/1s together with premium metaverse parcels and a 3lau soundscape followed by an epic crash and burn. After recording I uncovered the links to the buyout smart contract (since the original auction page frontend is no longer working) and other links that folks may find helpful as they dig into the project themselves. ___ B20 Buyout contract link: https://etherscan.io/address/0x450e00a6a32728a25b9dd06d7a9cf7193c9a0162#code Vault contract link 1 (holds B20 master key): https://etherscan.io/address/0xe846d7ab0bfff2f0b9b9a818b845fb99c94786c2 Vault contract link 2 (holds the Beeple Art + Metaverse Land +NFTs): https://etherscan.io/address/0xfe366786cb07068237fdb6232af60903c209a14b#code Broken auction frontend: https://b20.whalestreet.xyz/ ___ B20 FAQ 1 (Mar 9 2021): https://metapurser.substack.com/p/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-b20 B20 FAQ 2 (Mar 10 2021): https://medium.com/metapurse/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-b-20-buyout-e7edb445149a ___ Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @beeple @metakovan @lendroidproject @cryptovoxels @decentraland @VoxelArchitects @SomniumSpace @TheSandboxGame @3LAU @metapurse @Dreamverse_life @ZooToken @Dat_Ogar @steveklbnf @balajis @monaverse @dankvr @BrightMoments @crypto_citizens @CryptoKitties @mathcastles @VanArman @artblocks_io @poopie @dapperlabs @doodles @AFuckingNobody @MetageistVR @oncyber @scuube @fabianospeziari @patriziabarnato @MetaBrook @dragonateyt @niftygateway @wizards_magic @Pokemon
