EDITOR<br />

@Pixeltoy<br />

Another week another soft rug. May the fleas of a thousand camels<br />

infest your armpits- @CiviliansNFT.<br />

Now that we’ve cleared the air let’s focus on this BUMPER issue<br />

#<strong>20</strong> with a shitload of new content and some fresh NFT pics.<br />

Unfortunately, 40 pages cannot do the Solana space justice. There<br />

are just too many BEAUTIFUL pieces out there and my Twitter feed<br />

does not access all of them. A lot of them I stumble upon at the last<br />

minute.<br />

Enter URS. A fantastic group of artists that have been gathering in<br />

a little corner of Twitter offering support, ideas, encouragement and<br />

guidance. BU_UB | URS started the group some weeks ago and it has<br />

only grown from strength to strength with a ‘who’s who’ of A-Grade<br />

artists. A special tribute 3 page spread at the end of this issue- see<br />

what I’m talking about?<br />

Star Atlas gets a shoutout this time round with their upcoming release<br />

of ships. I cannot deny that the artwork and renderings on these<br />

pieces is top quality. Kudos to the artists and visionary designers<br />

who came up with these images. Incredible.<br />

An interview with PotHeads about their upcoming mint with an<br />

interesting twist. What could be better than a pot? Maybe a pot that<br />

sprouts a random plant that gives rarity attributes? Hell yeah! Great<br />

idea! The utility goes beyond the project itself. Why not tie it to the<br />

storyline of other NFT projects? Batcity Underground perhaps? How<br />

about those Stoned Apes?<br />

Perhaps this is the next frontier to explore AFTER the gaming frenzy<br />

is over? Projects working together to combine their NFTs? That<br />

would be a first!<br />

4<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


Personally I would love to see Space Goats work with URS- now that<br />

would be incredible! The artwork from these artists would just blend<br />

so well together. Imagine the possibilities!<br />

Getting ahead of myself? Hell no, we need ideas. This space is all<br />

about ideas and building on each other’s ideas. As long as we are<br />

willing to share freely. Progress!<br />

emptying his mouth.<br />

African Proverb<br />

Finally, we are almost over the hump of December. If you haven’t<br />

bought into your favourite NFT project by now it is almost too late.<br />

The market is about to heat up with a surge leading into the end<br />

of January before a brief colldown and some sideways action as<br />

altcoins grind to new ATH in <strong>20</strong>22. Onboarding new users at a rate<br />

never seen before.<br />

I know first-hand about the new wave coming in. Over the last 2<br />

weeks I have had many students (12-13 yr olds) point at my shirt<br />

and ask “Sir is that an NFT?” They are coming en masse and they<br />

will all want NFT projects that have stood the test of time. It’s up to<br />

everyone in this space to guide them so that their experience is a<br />

positive one. An inclusive one. A welcoming one.<br />

Enjoy issue <strong>20</strong>. Be sure to RETWEET the pinned tweet and help<br />

@easymoneyding<br />

Still uncertainty in the Solana NFT Market // 8 Nov <strong>20</strong>21.<br />

@thugbirdz was the only real mover overnight. floor up from under<br />

30sol and now sitting at 37.50 and holding for now (seems like the<br />

market agrees with me) particularly with more profit taking to come<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


in the festive season. I think if you’ve been looking to move into blue<br />

chip projects, @thugbirdz would be the one for me - I think under 30<br />

is a buy.<br />

@DegenApeAcademy did pump a little earlier in the week, but has<br />

fallen 25% in the last 24 hours to currently sit at roughly 25 sol. ngl<br />

this project hasn’t peaked since it peaked at inception. Ever since<br />

then it’s been living in the shadows of @SolanaMBS.. just stating<br />

facts.<br />

Have to mention @MonkeyKingdom_because their floors have<br />

partially artificially risen. floors are at 55sol plus which is straight<br />

up ridiculous lmao.<br />

@StonedApeCrew was the other major mover overnight, floors<br />

sitting rn at 8sol. been seeing these on the timeline the last couple<br />

days. People just love the weed and rightly so.<br />

Solana price edges lower as<br />

bears prepare for 25% drop<br />

Sarah Tran<br />

FXStreet<br />

• Solana price is at risk of falling 25% after it broke below a major level of<br />

support on December 10.<br />

• SOL could be headed toward $128 if the bears continue to control the<br />

narrative.<br />

• Even if the bulls manage to reverse the period of underperformance,<br />

multiple stiff obstacles lie ahead.<br />

Solana price has fallen below a critical level and could now be<br />

headed for a 25% decline as momentum has shifted toward the<br />

downside. SOL struggles to reclaim higher levels as the Ethereum<br />

killer is prepared to plunge toward $128.<br />

Solana price offers bearish bias<br />

Solana price has sliced below the lower boundary of the descending<br />

parallel channel at $175 on December 10 on the 12-hour chart,<br />

suggesting a bearish outlook. The governing technical pattern<br />

projects a 25% nosedive toward $128 if the bulls fail to reverse the<br />

period of underperformance.<br />

The first line of defense for Solana price is at the 61.8% Fibonacci<br />

retracement level at $170. Additional footholds may appear at the<br />

October 6 high at $162, then at the October 11 high at $153.<br />

Solana price may also discover support at the 78.6 Fibonacci<br />

retracement level, which sits at $146. If selling pressure increases<br />

further, SOL may fall toward the pessimistic target at $128.<br />

However, if the bulls manage to reverse the period of sluggish<br />

performance, the first resistance will appear at the lower boundary<br />

of the parallel channel at $174.<br />

8<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


SOL<br />

Solana price will face additional obstacles ahead, first at the <strong>20</strong>0<br />

twelve-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $185, then at the 50%<br />

retracement level at $186.<br />

Further headwind may appear at the 21 twelve-hour SMA at $198,<br />

then at $<strong>20</strong>3, where the middle boundary of the prevailing chart<br />

pattern, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and the 50 twelvehour<br />

SMA intersect.<br />

If Solana price manages to slice above the aforementioned hurdle,<br />

SOL will then target the 100 twelve-hour hour SMA at $212. Additional<br />

buying pressure may incentivize the bulls to set sights on bigger<br />

aspirations, targeting the upper boundary of the parallel channel at<br />

$236.<br />

POTHEADS<br />

An interview with @Pot_Heads_NFT<br />

Why did you start the PotHeads? Tell us your origin story and a little<br />

about the team.<br />

We created Pot Heads because we wanted NFTs that you could<br />

truly interact with and evolve. Pot Heads does just that - you’ll mint<br />

Pot Head with the munchies and it’s just waiting to sprout. We’ll<br />

be airdropping Plant Food to holders (pizza, brownies, and other<br />

munchies), and once received, you can go to our site and “feed” your<br />

plant. This will allow your Pot Head to grow a unique plant from the<br />

existing base. There are only 1,4<strong>20</strong> Pot Heads to be minted.<br />

We have two incredible developers, @calebporzio (creator of Livewire<br />

& AlpineJS) and @Jvl993 who can make all this backend magic<br />

happen. And once this is live on the site, the ability to customize and<br />

evolve any NFT in our current and future collection will be seamless.<br />

We also have our digital artist, @ouch_itsnice, and me (@Papa_<br />

MooMoo) working on the project.<br />

What do you see as your biggest accomplishment so far- considering<br />

the project is only a few weeks young.<br />

We’ve been working on the project since early September and<br />

started to build our social media out in October. So far, I feel our<br />

biggest accomplishment has been gaining some traction on a<br />

few fun teaser videos we’ve created to showcase the project and<br />

explore the lore behind the Pot Heads. We have a few more of<br />

these in the works and they are so much fun to create! You can see<br />

our most recent one here: https://twitter.com/Pot_Heads_NFT/<br />

status/1466131647951249416?s=<strong>20</strong><br />

We also just love meeting all the incredible creators within the Solana<br />

ecosystem. With that said, we are continuously working to grow and<br />

expand to ensure more people know about our project and what we<br />

bring to the table.<br />

16<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


The PotHeads community has been growing organically. How has<br />

the community inspired you to keep building amidst the deluge of<br />

NFT projects currently hitting the market?<br />

We consistently keep our heads down and work hard behind the<br />

scenes to create a project that delivers. So much of our ability to<br />

grow and move forward is because as a team, we not only love the<br />

project we’re working on, but we love this space. I believe folks in this<br />

space are turned in enough to see when creators really care about<br />

and value the project and community.<br />

I also feel a huge part of growth is just being plugged in and not<br />

constantly shilling. I am active in a few discords and work to add to<br />

the space in addition to sharing the project. Learning from others<br />

and seeing what I can accomplish is a huge motivating factor to<br />

keep moving forward.<br />

The characters for Potheads allow for future expansion. Can you let<br />

us in on where the roadmap may be heading?<br />

Yes it does! So much of the lore behind Pot Heads surrounds<br />

the sudden closing of the beloved 4-Twenty Convenience store,<br />

frequented daily by Pot Heads. We have a Gen2 collection already<br />

lined up and in the works that further explores the entity or entities<br />

behind the closure. It’s pretty hilarious and we’re so excited about it!<br />

With this Gen2 collection, we’re also going to explore having its own<br />

specific utility. Will it be a coin? Staking? Something else? Keep an<br />

eye out! We’re also exploring integrations with Metaverse projects<br />

on Solana! We have a team that will work our booties off to ensure<br />

the community feels they are a part of a project with real long-term<br />

value. We also are a team that listens and adapts, so we will make<br />

sure to listen to the community and let their voices be heard.<br />

Prospects of collaborating with other like-minded projects.<br />

We’ve done a few collaborations and have some more lined up with<br />

projects we love. With that said, we 100% would LOVE to collab with<br />

like-minded projects including Stoned Ape Crew and Sol Flowers. We<br />

believe every Stoned Ape should have its own Pot Head plant.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong> 19


Is there something I may have missed that you would like to add?<br />

I think the biggest thought and lesson I’ve learned is in regard to<br />

balance. I’ve spent countless hours on Twitter and in Discord<br />

learning, collaborating, and connecting. At times, however, I feel the<br />

best way to continue to bring your best self to the space is to take<br />

some time to just breath. Go for a walk, workout, meditate, etc. We<br />

are so early, and this space is moving a mile a minute - it’s easy to<br />

lose yourself and I’m a huge fan of making sure you’re doing what<br />

you need to do to be your best self to the table.<br />

We’re so thankful for the opportunity to be featured in <strong>SHILL</strong>! Our<br />

DMs are always open and feel free to stop by the discord to say hi!<br />

SHIPMAS Season App<br />

Countdown to 9 New Star<br />

New gravity-defying spaceship drops coming up in December <strong>20</strong>21<br />

will accompany the upcoming SCORE feature release, enabling<br />

players to earn ATLAS during their ship missions.<br />

Pearce C11 Commander Ship Interior /// Player-owned In-game Asset /// Immersive 3D NFT Experience<br />

On Tuesday, December 14, <strong>20</strong>21, starting at 10 AM PST and<br />

continuing on the hour, five new spectacular Star Atlas ships will<br />

become available on the Galactic Marketplace as part of a WAVE 5<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


oaches<br />

Atlas Spaceships<br />

of the Galactic Asset Offering. From December <strong>20</strong> and 23, WAVE 6<br />

will bring four more ships to Play.StarAtlas.com.<br />

The spaceships on offer are one of the key assets in the Star<br />

Atlas vision of decentralized, fully self-sovereign gaming model<br />

with player-owned ownership of assets,<br />

powered by blockchain technology and<br />

non-centralized NFT marketplaces, a stark<br />

contrast from many game developers who<br />

opt to monopolize asset ownership and<br />

distribution through imposing arbitrary<br />

restrictions on free movement of assets<br />

and accounts.<br />

As with the previous ship drops, all ships<br />

payments are possible with the Star Atlas<br />

in-game currency, ATLAS. The availability<br />

of each new ship’s supply is in a 50-50<br />

ratio of ATLAS and UDSC, half of the total<br />

quantity being set for purchase exclusively<br />

with ATLAS and the other half with USDC.<br />

After the drop, the ships will continue to<br />

trade in both markets simultaneously.<br />

These spaceships also include pre-<br />

Showroom photo galleries and in-game<br />

specs, including Crew roles, Component<br />

slots, and Module slots, which are viewable<br />

on individual asset pages on Galactic<br />

Marketplace.<br />

The nine new spaceships are Pearce C11,<br />

Rainbow Chi, Ogrika Jod Asteris, Calico<br />

Evac and Tufa Feist in WAVE 5, and Fimbul<br />

BYOS Earp, Pearce X6, Fimbul ECOS<br />

Bombarella and Fimbul ECOS Treearow in<br />

WAVE 6.<br />

Each ship’s information page features its own countdown to sale<br />

starting time on the Galactic Marketplace.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong> 31


Pearce C11 Spaceship During an Orbital Cruise /// Player-owned In-game Asset /// Immersive 3D NFT Experience<br />

The first drop is Pearce C11, a legendary first-class fighting vessel,<br />

with an end-to-end length of nearly 800 meters (2600 feet) that<br />

can pack a fleet of its own — a true game-changer in any peace<br />

enforcement battle.<br />

Ship spec: Fighter /// Rarity: Legendary /// Class: Commander ///<br />

Available supply: 130 /// Price: 75 at 80,100 USDC and 55 at 99,900<br />

USDC<br />

The Pearce C11 is the most significant fleet carrier vessel to come<br />

from the MUD Territory. The C11’s hull is riddled with hangar bays<br />

and studded with turret weapon arrays providing a platform to<br />

house and protect an entire fleet of ships all the way up to capital<br />

sized docking mechanics. Attempting to approach this ship with<br />

hostility is a well-documented fatal error and that fact is common<br />

knowledge for any Jorvik roving band of pirates. Often doubling<br />

as organization headquarters, the C11 provides every imaginable<br />

onboard accommodation to equip and sustain an entire fleet of<br />

ships and a broad roster of crew members.<br />

The second drop is Rainbow Chi, an epic wonder of cosmic<br />

engineering that has its design speak for itself. With an end-to-end<br />

length of 35 meters (115 feet), landing it in your backyard won’t go<br />

unnoticed by anyone in the neighborhood.<br />

32<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


Ship spec: Fighter /// Rarity: Epic /// Class: Small /// Available supply:<br />

8000 /// Price: 995 USDC<br />

The enigmatic Rainbow Chi is a slippery fighter ship with integrated<br />

photoli derived shape-shifting technology. This revolutionary<br />

tech allows for the repurposing of charged mass into an array of<br />

functional optimizations. Hierarchical morphing hull systems create<br />

a platform that can fully power weapon groupings or instantly shift<br />

charges to amplify distributed hullshock dispersal. This flexible<br />

vehicle architecture boasts near perfect, constant equilibrium while<br />

fiercely turning the tides in any spaceborne threat.<br />

Rainbow Chi Spaceship /// Player-owned In-game Asset /// Immersive 3D NFT Experience3D NFT Experience<br />

The third drop is Ogrika Jod Asteris, a luxurious legendary ship for<br />

experiencing the best of what the cosmos has to offer. With an endto-end<br />

length of nearly 510 meters (1700 feet), it has plenty of room<br />

for the grandest of ideas.<br />

Ship spec: Transport /// Rarity: Legendary /// Class: Capital ///<br />

Available supply: 195 /// Price: 60 at 25,000 USDC, 85 at 31,385<br />

USDC and 50 at 33,565 USDC<br />

The Ogrika Jod Asteris is a capital class transport vessel representing<br />

the ultimate in punaab ultra-luxury accommodations. With an<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong> 33


onboard capital sized theatre for live events, multiple cafes, lounge<br />

areas and a generous sized observatory deck, this cruise ship is the<br />

finest way to tour the stars. Experience astronomical<br />

Ogrika Jod Asteris Spaceship Fleet /// Player-owned In-game Asset /// Immersive 3D NFT Experience<br />

opulence only attainable through the inimitable signature of the<br />

viciously wealthy punaab ship manufacturers.<br />

The fourth ship to drop is Calico Evac, a must-have for when your<br />

active engagement in deep space doesn’t go according to plan.<br />

Ship spec: Rescue /// Rarity: Uncommon /// Class: Medium ///<br />

Available supply: 195 /// Price: 800 at 2,<strong>20</strong>0 USDC and 1100 at 2,640<br />

USDC<br />

The Calico Evac is a nimble but robust rescue and recovery vessel.<br />

These vessels could be found in any well-equipped active combat<br />

scenes. With the ability to launch and retrieve multiple rescue<br />

drones, the Evac quite literally is the difference between life and<br />

death. Higher tiered medical bay facilities and personnel can revive<br />

stunned and critical casualties or to pull cryostatic escape pod crew<br />

out from indefinite slumber. The custom hull-piercing cockpit screen<br />

34<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>20</strong>


makes visibility a vital component in the success of dangerously tight<br />

rescue missions. The Evac is a testament to the brilliant designs and<br />

industrial mechanical genius behind the teams at Calico.<br />

Calico Evac Spaceship in a Battlezone /// Player-owned In-game Asset /// Immersive 3D NFT Experience<br />

Ship spec: Fighter /// Rarity: Epic /// Class: Small /// Available supply:<br />

7,000 /// Price: 795 USDC<br />

The metagenic stone beings comprise the Tufa faction and when<br />

one of them take the shape of this small fighter ship, they identify<br />

as a Feist. No longer can one feel safe casually navigating an<br />

asteroid field because lurking in plain sight is a potential ambush<br />

vehicle collecting its raw power for a brutal sneak attack. Living,<br />

sentient rock formations combine discarded mining tech into a<br />

powerful, blitz-styled combat platform with local stone material<br />

shifting camouflage abilities. Despite the exotic blend of industrial<br />

technologies with breathing non-organics, the Tufa Feist is a<br />

surprisingly comfortable vessel to take on many challenges in a<br />

variety of deep space adventures.<br />
