Incoming_Transmission: Hello Explorers. As the month comes to a close, the release of the second Lvcidia Experience draws nearer. Recently, we announced Jarvinart—an acclaimed CG artist, architect, and environmental artist—as the creator of our second Experience. Her sci-fi infused work is awe-inspiring, and her enthusiasm for Lvcidia is electric.
We’re honored to have her join us on this journey, as we strive together to create transformative artistic experiences. In addition to the August Experience, an innovative new Era of Lvcidia Staking is on the horizon. The team can’t wait to show you everything we have in store, so be sure to keep an eye on our Twitter or Discord for the latest news.
JARVINART: BRIDGING REALITIES – AUGUST 1ST
On August 1st at 5PM ET, our second Lvcidia Experience goes live—Jarvinart: Bridging Realities. As was the case with our first Experience by Mad Dog Jones, “Bridging Realities” offers collectors the chance to form a deeper connection with the artworks on display. The Experience page features new excerpts from our exclusive interview with Jarvinart, in which she explains the concept behind the release, the creation of the art, and her partnership with Lvcidia.
“Bridging Realities” marks the release of 2 new Jarvinart artworks: Nightdrive and Manual Labor. Nightdrive is an edition of 5, and will be sold through a ranked auction available to all members of the public. Manual Labor is a limited edition of 50, priced at a very accessible 0.069 ETH. The 24 hour holders only presale for Manual Labor will be open August 1st at 5PM ET for registered holders of Fvck_Crystals, Artifex Collections, and Jarvinart NFTs (recent Meme Card included). Premint registration closes July 31st at 5PM ET. Our last Experience sold out in the first hour of the presale, so if you’re considering purchasing—be sure to register in time.

FVCK_MONDAYS – JARVINART AND STAKING ERA 2
Fvck_Mondays have returned in all their glory, providing the community with extensive development updates directly from the team. Last week, we had Jarvinart on the Space with us to discuss her work and upcoming Lvcidia Experience. The recording is available here. With the excellent hosting of Bonglo and Roger Dickerman, Jarvinart shared thoughtful perspectives on her creative process and her hopes for the release.
We’ll be hosting another Space on Monday July 31st to answer any last minute questions about the Experience, as well as chat about Staking Era 2 launching August 4th. It’s always nice to hear from our community, so be sure to tune in to ask any questions you might have.

STAKING ERA 2 – AUGUST 4TH
The highly awaited Era 2 of Lvcidia Staking will be launching on August 4th. The First Era—which began in October 2022 and ran through the end of the year—gave collectors of both Fvck_Crystals and Fvck_Avatars the chance to stake their NFTs to earn Resources. These Resources were then used to craft namable Stars, with varying tiers of rarity. Within the First Era, we saw hundreds of our collectors race to uncover the mystery of trait earn rates, amass Resources, and claim the rarest Stars before it was too late.
With Era 2, we didn’t want to simply repeat ourselves. Lvcidia is built around innovation. The new Era had to offer something unique, playing off the strengths of the previous while incorporating new mechanics. So rather than working towards the creation of Stars, this Era revolves around the formation of a Community Planet. For now, that’s all we’ll say. The discovery process is part of the fun, so we hope you’ll enjoy embarking on this journey into the unknown with the community.
For more news on Staking Era 2, be sure to tune into our next Fvck_Monday on July 31st.
lvcidia gallery – nyc rooftop EVENT recap
On July 19th 2023, Lvcidia and Nolcha Events invited collectors to the rooftop of the Williamsburg Hotel in Brooklyn for a single night of pure fun. We saw a great turnout of collectors, as well as plenty of fresh faces that were introduced to Lvcidia for the first time. Thank you to everyone who was able to show up and spread enthusiasm for what we’re building. We’re hoping to organize more IRL events in the future, giving collectors a chance to celebrate the project with potential to offer an even more immersive way to experience Lvcidia.
