Foundation "Worlds" on Exchange Art
What Should Be Built? 1) Foundation style “Worlds” UX on Exchange Art (EA) Curators/Collectors can build their own auction houses “Worlds”, and populate it with any listed works on EA by any artist. Listed art should have a one-to-many, fungible relationship across all Worlds, e.g. Christie’s and Sotheby’s auctioning the same art piece at the same time and collecting bids in real-time from both. Why Should It Be Built? 1) Fixes the user experience problem of new 1/1 collectors falling off a cliff. Increasing amount of “I’m interested in the 1/1 space, where do I start?” messages, which are met with high level info threads about what platform to use, how to evaluate art, and artists to follow. It’s helpful as an intro, but no one wants to play scavenger hunt on Twitter and stalk EA artist pages multiple times a day. Instead, by having prominent collectors curate their own World(s) for a specific theme or movement, new collectors can learn by seeing aggregated collecting/curating done in real-time by those who excel at it, as well as auction dynamics around what the market values vs not. 2) Helps collectors moving cross-chain to SOL get up to speed faster. The digital art scene has different tastes depending on the L1 you’re collecting on. The ETH market certainly favors specific art categories while the SOL market favors very different art categories. When I ventured out to ETH as a collector, I was able to get up to speed on what the market valued by watching the Foundation Worlds being curated by some of the top collectors in that space, which ended up being where I collected half of my ETH pieces from so far. 3) Discovery + Maximizing Revenue In theory, this should help artist discovery become more efficient for both artist and collector, also contributing to more efficient price discovery. With more efficient artist discovery and collective resource allocation, the hypothesis is that total revenue should increase for EA via increased volume. And this is a GOOD thing. EA is not a non-profit, we should want them to have monetary success to be able to scale and continue R&D as the main platform for the Digital Art Renaissance on SOL. Outstanding Questions Should curators of these Worlds get a small % as a commission for winning bids that came from their world as a reward for time spent and for building their following?
