Incoming_Transmission: Hello Explorers. With the colossal success of our first Experience by Mad Dog Jones, Lvcidia has proven that even the worst of markets cannot defeat the spirit of true art. We are prepared to reach even greater heights over the coming months. Until the end of the year, we will continue releasing monthly Experiences and Finery drops. You’ll embark on journeys of discovery, as you grow closer to an artist and their work. We’ll also be launching our own marketplace, providing the ideal avenue to trade Lvcidia NFTs. We’re immensely grateful to have such a loyal community supporting us in these efforts, and hope you enjoy everything we have in store. This is just the beginning.
N2 Drop 2: July 17th
Last month, we launched Lvcidia’s N2 Finery Collection. Featuring a vastly expanded offering of clothing and wearables, N2 has been one of our most ambitious undertakings to date. The collection is broken down into SIX monthly installments, with a drop occurring at the middle of each month. The June release showcased bold graphic T-Shirts, a sweatshirt, and our first custom hat. Collectors were able to receive exclusive discounts thanks to their Fvck_Crystal and Fvck_Avatar NFTs, with many taking advantage of the opportunity. Early orders also received bonus items as a show of our gratitude.
The July collection—N2 Drop 2—further expands upon the visual style of Lvcidia. Releasing on July 17th, our holders will once again be given the chance to claim exclusive discounts. We see a major opportunity with Finery for our community to introduce Lvcidia to the wider world. Mix and match items from different releases, and build your own unique style. If you take a photo in your Lvcidia Finery, be sure to post it and tag us @Lvcidia on Twitter.

Lvcidia Marketplace
On July 13th, 2023, we launched the highly anticipated Lvcidia Marketplace. It functions as a central hub to buy and sell all NFTs released within the Lvcidia ecosystem, such as crystals, avatars, resources, and Experience artworks. We believe this will be a great help in onboarding new collectors, helping them navigate through our wide array of releases. Users of the site will be able to compare prices across multiple marketplaces, and when you list directly there are 0% marketplace fees. Most notably, artist royalties will be enforced on every sale. By transacting through our marketplace, you stand with us in our mission to elevate deserving artists.

Mad Dog Jones: PSI
With the airdrop of the 1/1 Grail Helmets this week, the Mad Dog Jones Experience (PSI) has officially concluded. This first Experience proved Lvcidia has the capacity to be a leader among curated digital art platforms. We premiered the first 3D artwork by Mad Dog Jones, and sold out all 135 editions at a price of 0.175 ETH in the first hour of the presale. The collection would go on to reach the #6 spot on the OpenSea trending page, with 22 ETH of secondary sales volume at the time of writing. And of utmost importance to us, collectors were able to engage with the art on a deeper level by getting to know the artist and taking in the story of the release.
The unique release mechanics sparked excitement within the community. Collectors raced to complete a set of 3D Helmets—Petrol, Smoke, and Ignition—and those who had collected all three by July 10th were granted a 1/1 Grail Helmet by Mad Dog Jones. Miraculously, all 10 Grail Helmets were claimed. Congratulations to the winners, listed below:
- 2B0N2B
- Bluest_Chips — 3 sets completed!
- STAGS
- D566E6
- hildabroom
- Oldhamneggs143

Ledger Quest – Last Chance!
Our collaboration with the team at Ledger—the Lvcidia Community Quest—will close this Sunday at 12PM EST. Ledger’s QUEST initiative aims to spread knowledge of the best Web3 safety practices throughout the space, by providing incentives for learning. The Quest itself is a quiz on Web3 safety, and those who complete it with a 100% score will receive an exclusive PoK (proof of knowledge) NFT by Fvckrender. You have unlimited attempts, and will be notified of what you got wrong after each completion. This Lvcidia community quest was made exclusively for our holders. Ledger’s previous Quests include collaborations with major projects and brands such as ApeCoin, Cool Cats, Deadfellaz, and Samsung. We’re honored to be in the company of some of the most recognizable names in the space, while we all strive for stronger Web3 education.

Stay tuned for Tuesday July 18th, when we announce the featured artist for the second Lvcidia Experience. A rising star in the space, they truly went above and beyond for this release.
Ryan is an LA-based writer and filmmaker. He began as a Lvcidia community member in early 2021, drawn to the cinematic beauty of Fvckrender’s virtual creations. His engagement with the community led to him becoming a moderator for the Discord, and in 2022 he was brought on officially to create Lvcidia’s newsletter. He now assists in writing articles for the Lvcidia journal, conducting interviews, and moderating the occasional live Q&A.
