#Shill is nearing its 50th issue. Got an idea for how #Shill should celebrate?<br />
Let’s hear it: pixeltoy.sol@gmail.com<br />
And we GRIND!<br />
What a HUGE issue. Never before has #Shill broken boundaries like this.<br />
Ninety two pages. Yes, you read right, 92 glorious pages AND what’s more,<br />
the format has changed. More real-estate to cover PLUS more pages. F&$^ing<br />
crazy right?!<br />
NFTHrilling is back with another installment from his OpenHeart series. These<br />
interview with one-of-one artists are incredible. They will go down in Solana<br />
history as the stepping stones that helped consolidate the true community<br />
that exists in this ecosystem.<br />
Over 54 NFT’s throughout this issue. Fifty four NFT’s. HUGE.<br />
AND of course the cover- front and back. A true first for #Shill zine and a<br />
hommage to the great RVDY_HRTN who keeps delivering art of the highest<br />
quality in this space. Rudy, this one’s for you.<br />
Almost every article in this issue is true ALPHA. If you can’t be bothered to<br />
read an article or two during your daily commute then you truly NGMI. Come<br />
on #frens show the love. Hit the artists up on Twitter. Tell the writer’s you read<br />
their articles. Give back a little!<br />
As always, show your love on the Twittersphere with a simple retweet.<br />
Enough said. You know the drill. Let’s f go!<br />

NFThrilling - Interview<br />
Ciao Yataf187 (@Yataf187) quando ho visto questo tuo lavoro ho avuto<br />
un'emozione.. quello che chiamo @NFThrilling vibe.. potresti descrivermi questo<br />
tuo bellissimo NFT, prima di iniziare...<br />
Certo, questa opera<br />
d'arte è stata la<br />
partecipazione di<br />
maggio al concorso<br />
di remix del logo FTX<br />
NFT. Quindi quello<br />
che vedi è il logo FTX<br />
fatto con vecchi<br />
computer al centro<br />
dell'immagine. Ci<br />
sono anche alcuni<br />
suggerimenti relativi<br />
a NFT come<br />
l'orologio “ape” sullo<br />
sfondo o il cubo di<br />
“tungsten”. Inoltre<br />
ho integrato uno dei<br />
miei<br />
primi<br />
“hornimals” in<br />
background. Mi sono<br />
classificata al quarto<br />
posto, il che è stato davvero sorprendente, perché c'erano oltre 200 artisti. Ho vinto 5<br />
sol e una maglia. Quindi questa è la storia di come ho fatto i miei primi soldi in<br />
criptovaluta. E l'ingresso in un nuovo mondo..<br />
Cominciamo.. nell'universo crypto e NFT (come nell'arte tradizionale, Banksy docet)<br />
l'anonimato è diffuso, cosa ne pensi e come ti avvicini al pubblico (il tuo nome d'arte<br />
è davvero molto cool)?<br />
Penso che l'anonimato possa essere sia un bene che un male. È una questione di punto<br />
di vista. Quando sei “anon” l’etica, il sesso, l'età, l'aspetto non contano. Valuti la<br />
persona in base al suo contenuto, abilità, atmosfera o qualunque cosa la persona<br />
decida di condividere con te. Un “anon” può creare un'identità completamente nuova,<br />
può essere chiunque voglia essere. Penso che il lato negativo sia che le persone non si<br />
connettono così profondamente nel mondo degli “anons”. È più facile criticarsi a<br />
vicenda, quindi è più facile ferirsi o lasciarsi a vicenda.<br />
Ciò che conta per me è essere me stessa e nessun altro. Voglio solo essere me stessa<br />
e voglio essere apprezzata per questo. Il modo migliore per farlo è non essere anonima<br />
per me.<br />
Mi chiamo Yataf che significa giovane e stanca come “stocazzo”. Young è una bugia,<br />
ma stanco è vero al 100%. Sono una madre, quindi il sonno è raro.<br />
Cominciamo davvero.. Se dovessi descriverti, in poche ma essenziali parole, cosa<br />
diresti?<br />
Sono disordinata ma mi piace l'ordine. Sono molto attenta alle persone che amo e<br />
sono un po' timida quando le persone non mi conoscono, ma posso essere esilarante<br />
quando mi conosci. Sono una pensatrice eccessiva e sono creativo 24 ore su 24, 7<br />
giorni su 7.<br />
Nell'arte NFT, quali sono le tecniche che ami, quelle che ti caratterizzano e quelle in<br />
cui vorresti cimentarti?<br />
Il mio stile dipende dalla collezione che disegno, è molto versatile. Mi piacciono le<br />
illustrazioni chiare con contorni forti e colori brillanti. Ma mi piace anche disegnare<br />
con un pennello ruvido, con molti dettagli e sfumature.<br />
Mi piace provare quante più cose<br />
possibili, voglio sapere fino a che punto<br />
posso arrivare. Per i miei nft uso<br />
“Procreate” e per il disegno 3D “Nomad”<br />
sull'iPad.<br />
Quanto tempo dedichi all'arte. Quando<br />
hai iniziato a percepirti come Artista?<br />
Dedico circa 10-30 ore settimanali<br />
all'arte. La creazione fa parte della mia<br />
vita, che si tratti di arte, creazioni 3D,<br />
progettazione di mobili o cucinare un<br />
pasto delizioso. Mi sono dedicata all'arte<br />
dopo essermi separata da mio marito tre<br />
anni fa. Mi ha lasciato e con lui la mia<br />
autostima. Quindi avevo bisogno di<br />
qualcosa che mi facesse sentire meglio,<br />
così ho creato un account Instagram e ho<br />
ricominciato a disegnare. Non mi sento<br />
un’artista, ma una creatrice.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong>
Vorresti raccontare brevemente da dove viene il<br />
tuo lavoro artistico. Com'è il tuo ambiente di lavoro.<br />
Lo cambieresti e come?<br />
La maggior parte del tempo lavoro dal mio<br />
soggiorno. Mi sdraio sul divano e disegno sull'iPad.<br />
Mi piace molto lì, è accogliente, silenzioso e c'è molta<br />
luce.<br />
Quando dipingo con i pennelli su tela, lo faccio in<br />
soggiorno. La maggior parte dei miei dipinti li ho<br />
eseguiti in ginocchio. Ho un nuovo cavalletto, ma non<br />
l'ho ancora provato.<br />
Ho un ufficio che uso per la creazione 3D sul mio Mac.<br />
Non cambierei nulla, mi piace così com'è..<br />
Come crei le tue opere. Qual è l'ispirazione per te.<br />
Cosa provi mentre crei. C’è un messaggio implicito<br />
nelle tue opere/collezioni. Vuoi trasmettere<br />
qualcosa. Vorresti descrivere, in poche parole, una delle tue opere o collezioni?<br />
L'ispirazione ha i suoi<br />
modi e spesso mi trova di<br />
notte. Quando sono<br />
circondato dal silenzio. Le<br />
esperienze che ho avuto<br />
con le persone, buone o<br />
cattive, sono fonte di<br />
ispirazione per me. La<br />
frustrazione è sempre una<br />
buona ispirazione.<br />
Come la collezione “holey<br />
ghosts” (@HoleyGhosts).<br />
Li ho disegnati perché mi<br />
sentivo invisibile nello<br />
spazio NFT, mi sentivo<br />
come un fantasma.<br />
L'ispirazione per il mio<br />
attuale progetto<br />
“hornimals” (@hornimals) è stata nelle esperienze che ho avuto con gli uomini su<br />
Instagram. Sì, ha cambiato drasticamente il modo in cui guardo ai social media. Tutto<br />
è così sessualizzato, mostri un'immagine innocua dei tuoi piedi perché hai un bel<br />
tatuaggio, e già i feticisti dei piedi si avventano su di te come zombi con il cervello<br />
fresco. Ma è stata una buona fonte di ispirazione. Mi piace trasformare qualcosa di<br />
brutto in qualcosa di<br />
buono. Lo trasformo in<br />
qualcosa di divertente,<br />
motivo per cui rido così<br />
spesso quando disegno. Il<br />
disegno mi calma e mi dà<br />
conforto. Il messaggio<br />
dietro gli “hornimals” è<br />
che la sessualità dovrebbe<br />
essere divertente e che<br />
non dovremmo prenderci<br />
troppo sul serio. Non<br />
dovrebbe esserci<br />
vergogna nella sessualità,<br />
perché siamo tutti<br />
animali, hornimals. Voglio<br />
solo far sorridere le<br />
persone e dimenticare per<br />
un momento la dura<br />
realtà.<br />
Come vedi gli NFT in 3/5/10 anni. E tu?<br />
Dato che sono nuova di zecca in questo campo, non posso dire come sarà tra molti<br />
anni. 3 anni sono molti nel campo NFT, quindi può andare ovunque. Ma come artista,<br />
spero che il futuro riguardi più l'arte e non il rapido profitto. O ci sono o non ci sono.<br />
Mi vedo ancora come una disegnatrice, che si tratti di una collezione nft o meno. Non<br />
ho bisogno di una grande comunità intorno a me, ma desidero essere circondata da<br />
persone che mi supportano e si innamorano della mia arte.<br />
C'è qualcosa che desideri davvero e che speri di poter realizzare nei prossimi anni<br />
anche grazie alla tua arte? Qual è il tuo sogno o aspirazione più grande. E nel<br />
presente, cosa ti gasa. C'è qualcosa che vorresti e che ancora non hai (a parte la<br />
lambo ovviamente)?<br />
Spero di diventare più indipendente così non dipendo dalle richieste e dagli gli ordini.<br />
Non sono molto materialista, ma il mio tempo libero è molto importante per me, buon<br />
cibo, concerti e spero di viaggiare un po' di più e mostrare il mondo a mia figlia. Voglio<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong> 7
solo fare le mie cose circondata dalla mia famiglia e dai miei amici. Un grande sogno<br />
sarebbe vivere vicino all'oceano. Le lambo non sono il mio genere, ma se avessi i soldi<br />
comprerei un camper.<br />
Cosa ne pensi delle varie blockchain e relativi NFT. Cosa determina la tua preferenza<br />
tra una chain o l'altra? Cosa consiglieresti a un artista che desideri mintare il suo<br />
primo NFT?<br />
Ho solo esperienza con Solana e non molta. Un amico mi ha portato qui, quindi non<br />
ho confrontato molto il resto. Ma un grosso problema è che non si tratta sempre di<br />
arte, ma spesso di realizzare un rapido profitto. Non so come sia nelle altre blockchain.<br />
Sarà per sempre il tuo primo nft, quindi fallo come ti piace.<br />
Quali artisti NFT (se presenti) hanno influenzato il tuo stile. Chi è il più talentuoso.<br />
Il più intelligente. Il più creativo... Consiglieresti il prossimo artista 1:1 da<br />
intervistare. Hai una domanda che vorresti fargli?<br />
Io e me stessa. Non so chi abbia influenzato il mio stile, ma sono più gli artisti al di<br />
fuori della scena nft o quelli che incontro ogni giorno, amo l'arte di Juan Cornellà<br />
(@sirjuancornella), Studio Stoutpoep (@StudioStoutpoep) o Pulpbrother (<br />
@pulpbrother). Inoltre adoro le opere di Supermundane (@supermundane) e Parra<br />
(@pietparra). Sono completamente diversi ma mi piace come giocano con le parole e<br />
le forme. Mi piacerebbe vedere Stomp (Twitter @stompart) nella prossima intervista.<br />
Mi piace che le sue opere siano così espressive, crude e intense. ok, gli chiederò cosa<br />
ne pensa!<br />
Che consiglio daresti a qualcuno che vuole andare per la tua strada. E ai collezionisti<br />
che vogliono avvicinarsi al mondo NFT?<br />
Stai lontano, questo è il mio territorio... no sto solo scherzando. Sii te stesso e divertiti.<br />
Entra in contatto con altri artisti e collezionisti, comunica con loro. È qualcosa in cui<br />
sono davvero pessima. Mostra i tuoi progressi e condividili con tutti. Definisci i tuoi<br />
obiettivi e condividili. Non aver paura di commettere errori, fa parte di questo. E ai<br />
collezionisti, tutto ciò che posso dire è supportare, condividere, commentare i post e<br />
entrare in contatto con artisti e altri collezionisti. E restate “horni” sempre.<br />
Ok, un ultimo giro! Il tuo miglior valore. Il tuo peggior difetto Il miglior libro o quello<br />
che ti ha cambiato la vita. Il miglior film di tutti i tempi. La "pittura" IRL che ti piace<br />
di più. L'ultima volta che ti sei ubriacata. Se potessi trascorrere una giornata con un<br />
artista (anche del passato), chi sceglieresti. E dove lo porteresti?<br />
Sono sempre curiosa e mi piace scoprire cose nuove. Non ho una routine, mi dimentico<br />
di bere e mangiare e non riesco a dormire se sono troppo eccitata. Miglior libro: “Il<br />
gabbiano Jonathan Livingston” di Richard Bach, adoro la storia. “Kids”, forse non il<br />
miglior film di tutti i tempi, ma quello che ha plasmato un'intera generazione - ora sai<br />
quanti anni ho. Il giorno del mio compleanno non ho bevuto né mangiato niente tutto<br />
il giorno, quindi è stato facile ubriacarsi velocemente. Mi piacerebbe passare una<br />
giornata con Tyler il creatore (@tylerthecreator), mi piace che sia così multi talento.<br />
Sono innamorata della sua musica e amo il suo stile e il fatto che crei moda unica con<br />
“golf le fleur”. Semplicemente non gliene frega un cazzo. Vorrei fare una lunga<br />
passeggiata e parlare con lui.<br />
L'intervista è finita Sei thrilling @Yataf187 (@Yataf187) grazie! Un'ultima cosa.<br />
Lo faresti un NFT ispirato da questa intervista? Se sì, farà parte della prima<br />
collezione intitolata "#openheARTist - self portrait" o chissà, perché l'arte è nel<br />
cuore dell'artista, e ci piace se si apre.<br />

NFThrilling - Interview<br />
Hi Yataf (@Yataf187) when I saw this piece of work of yours I got an<br />
emotion .. what I call @NFThrilling vibe .. could you describe this beautiful<br />
work to me, before starting ,<br />
please…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's begin .. in the crypto and NFT universe (as in traditional art, Banksy<br />
docet) anonymity is widespread, what do you think abt it and how do you<br />
approach the public (your stage name is very cool indeed)?<br />
I think anonymity can be both good and bad. It’s a question of the point of view.<br />
When you’re anon ethic, gender, age, looks doesn’t matter. You rate the person<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
anons. It’s easier to criticize each other, so it’s easier to hurt or leave each o<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ue. I‘m a mother so sleep is rare.<br />
Let's truly begin .. If you had to describe yourself, in a few but essential<br />
words, what would you say?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In NFT art, what are the techniques you<br />
love, the ones that characterize you, and<br />
the ones you would like to try your hand<br />
at?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How much time do you dedicate to art. When did you begin to perceive<br />
yourself as an Artist?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong> 9
Would u like to briefly tell where your artistic<br />
work comes from. What is your work<br />
environment like. Would u change it and how?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How you create your works. What is inspiration for you. What do you feel<br />
while you create. What is (if any) the implicit message in your works /<br />
collections. Would you like to<br />
describe, in a few words, one of<br />
your works of your choice?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How you see the NFTs in 3/5/10 years. And yourself? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
and that we shouldn’t<br />
<br />
<br />
shouldn’t be shame in<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Is there something that you really want and that you hope to be able to<br />
achieve in the next years also thanks to your art? What is your biggest<br />
dream or aspiration. And in the present, what excites you. Is there<br />
something you would like and still don't have (apart from lambo of course)?<br />
10<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong>
What do you think of the various blockchains and related NFTs. What<br />
determines your preference between one chain or the other? What would<br />
you recommend to an artist wishing to mint their first NFT?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Which NFT artists (if any) have influenced your style. Who is the most<br />
talented. The most intelligent. The most creative.. Would you recommend<br />
the next 1: 1 artist to interview. Do you have a question you would like to<br />
ask him/her?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, one last lap! Your best value. Your worst flaw. The best book or the one<br />
that changed your life. The best movie of all time. The IRL “painting” you<br />
like best. The last time you got drunk. If you could spend a day with an artist<br />
(even from the past), who would you choose. And where would you take it?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the creator, I like that he is so multitalented. I’m in love with his music and I<br />
<br />
doesn’t give a fuck. <br />
The interview is over U so thrilling @Yataf187 (@Yataf187) thank you!<br />
One last thing. Would you make it an NFT inspired by this interview? If yes,<br />
it will be part of the first collection entitled "#openheARTist - self portrait"<br />
or whatelse .. because art is in the heart of the artist, and we love it open.<br />
<br />
ok I’ll ask abt it!<br />
What advice would you give to someone who wants to go your own way. And<br />
to collectors who want to approach the NFT world?<br />
Stay away this is my turf…no just kidding. Be yourself and have fun. Connect<br />

YAMI<br />
888 Anons<br />
Paving a clear path in the darkness.<br />
Introduction<br />
Finance and commerce as we know them today have changed and advanced<br />
exponentially over the last decade. Fewer and fewer people are using paper cash<br />
since you can easily access your bank account directly from your smartphone.<br />
Everything seems to be working just fine, but is it?<br />
Most companies and banks offering these financial tools are centralized,<br />
have access to your businesses and personal transactions, and have payment<br />
limitations. Then, Blockchain technology came along — decentralized, secure,<br />
and *somewhat private. However, it’s not as fast, cheap, and user-friendly as<br />
the platforms these big tech behemoths have built, such as Block for example<br />
(formerly known as Square).<br />
Most of these decentralized protocols that exist and operate today, are not<br />
entirely private and are not user-friendly enough for the average consumer,<br />
therefore limiting the growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to<br />
achieve mainstream adoption. Afterall, we must understand that not everyone is<br />
interested in the technology behind the things we use daily, but rather its ease of<br />
use, accessibility, and speed.<br />
For example, the average individual doesn’t understand the intricacies of how<br />
WiFi technology works, yet everyone from children to the elderly understand<br />
how to use it. It’s clear that the average consumer will not make the switch to<br />
decentralized finance services if we offer a higher barrier of entry, along with a<br />
steep learning curve for less technologically savvy users.<br />
If a new wallet, platform, or tool makes things more complicated than the<br />
financial services people are currently using, they will not make the switch,<br />
regardless if they stand to benefit from the new platform in terms of quality of life<br />
improvements, such as privacy and security.<br />
To truly onboard the next generation of cryptocurrency users, welcome all<br />
ages and achieve real mainstream adoption, there needs to exist an all-in-one<br />
platform for individuals and businesses to track their finances, issue and receive<br />
payments, file tax reports, swap between different currencies, trade NFTs and<br />
earn passive income while doing it. All under one roof, easy to use, fast, affordable<br />
and accessible for the average joe…<br />
yami.finance / yamipay.xyz<br />
Introducing Yami, a suite of innovative tools built on Solana.<br />
The purpose and vision behind Yami is to simplify and privatize finances and<br />
commerce. Onboarding more businesses and individuals to use blockchain<br />
technology without even noticing it will help decentralized finance and blockchain<br />
technology achieve mainstream adoption. Yami provides a suite of innovative<br />
tools which anyone can access anywhere at any time, thanks to a fast, private,<br />
secure and user-friendly platform for people to truly take back control of their<br />
finances.<br />
As the world becomes increasingly authoritarian, we believe permission-less<br />
financial platforms that allow you to operate everything from one dashboard in<br />
a secure and private manner are going to become key players in the future of<br />
global digital payments.<br />
Payment solutions like Stripe, CashApp, Venmo and Block (formerly known as<br />
Square) currently operate within a $4 trillion industry, however as mentioned<br />
earlier, these platforms are centralized, have access to your businesses and<br />
personal transactions, and have payment limitations. Not to mention that all<br />
the fees generated are internally secured and not in any way used to reward<br />
and incentivize vendors or consumers. Much of the market share is derived<br />
from users who have no other choice than to use these provided systems, which<br />
enforces the monopoly flywheel.<br />
Let’s set it straight, access and inclusivity are fundamental. The ability to transact<br />
between individuals in a secure manner without a central authority is the entire<br />
reason why Satoshi Nakamoto wrote the now-famous Whitepaper.<br />
The Yami Ecosystem<br />
YamiPay: Point of Sale platform with internal tax tooling, product management,<br />
18<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong>
multiple types of accepted currency, stream wages<br />
to employees and eventually private payment<br />
integration.<br />
YamiSwap: Signature DEX is a beautiful and simple<br />
SPL token swapping interface that allows users and<br />
vendors to immediately exchange their tokens and<br />
manage their wallets. YamiSwap is designed to be<br />
integrated with shielded (private) liquidity pools.<br />
YamiEarn: Signature cash-generating staking<br />
platform that will allow users or vendors to put their<br />
treasury to work and allow them to interact with<br />
$YAMI’s functionality.<br />
YamiPlay: This project aims to allow unique Web3<br />
interactions between vendors and their customers,<br />
for example gamification templates for your returning<br />
customers such as lowered fees for promotional<br />
items via NFTs. YamiPlay will also allow NFT users<br />
and creators to access private functionality such as<br />
private bids, listing, storage and more.<br />
*Please note that as the company grows this could<br />
change, however it does represent the long-term<br />
vision of the project.<br />
The first tool introduced to the Yami Ecosystem is:<br />
YamiPay<br />
Introductory video of YamiPay<br />
YamiPay opens the doors to mass adoption for<br />
blockchain-enabled payments. What proof of this do<br />
we have you might ask?<br />
Let’s use Block (Square) for example. As a vendor,<br />
to have your store ready from initial signup to first<br />
payment, it can take anywhere between 3 to 10<br />
days depending on delivery time of Block’s required<br />
equipment. Then, based on your product, they may<br />
also require additional documents and permissions.<br />
If you are simply utilizing their mobile app without any<br />
hardware, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 1<br />
hour to be ready for use.<br />
In contrast, YamiPay takes that process all the<br />
way down to 30 seconds! All you need is a screen<br />
(computer, tablet, or smartphone) and a Phantom<br />
wallet. Your business is now fully functional and<br />
ready to accept payments in a few seconds.<br />
Now that we have introduced the Yami Ecosystem,<br />
let’s talk about its native token.<br />
$YAMI — The Evolution of $NOIR<br />
The Initial vision of 888 Anon Club revolved around<br />
the $NOIR utility token. This token aimed to be the<br />
bridge between protocols and private functionality.<br />
An intermediate layer between the Light Protocol<br />
shielded pool and easy to integrate tools. This vision,<br />
although ambitious and definitely viable, is restrictive<br />
to what the developers of 888 Anon Club can deliver.<br />
Since the mission is to introduce zero-knowledge<br />
and privacy tools on the Solana blockchain, it makes<br />
sense to deliver these products and services ready<br />
to integrate with privacy which facilitate the mass<br />
onboarding of users.<br />
I’d like to transparently explain how $NOIR was<br />
intended to be used and why the design is not one in<br />
which we wish to implement.<br />
We can think of $NOIR as a time-weighted key with<br />

framework. This would mean that every single member of the community can get<br />
involved in the value creation of the token without ever needing to contribute a<br />
dollar.<br />
This marks the end of a complex and unclear future and the birth of an extremely<br />
exciting and valuable ecosystem!<br />
$YAMI<br />
The term “Yami” means “darkness” in the Japanese language. We opted to use<br />
the YAMI name instead of NOIR for a multitude of factors, one of them being that<br />
NOIR can have negative connotations in other languages and could therefore<br />
sound less professional and restrict growth; while YAMI, even though it means<br />
the same thing, sounds a lot more friendly and carries the name of the platform.<br />
$YAMI is the evolved version of $NOIR, by absorbing it and making the ecosystem<br />
more complete offering a win-win situation for all parties involved.<br />
The $YAMI token is a first of its kind. You could label the token many different<br />
things, all according to its many different uses.<br />
$YAMI is designed to be the MOST sustainable cash-generating token of all time.<br />
The Yami Ecosystem was crafted so that a large percentage of the value created<br />
by the protocol is captured to yield in perpetuity.<br />
$YAMI rewards vendors and customers for the volume they generate. This is<br />
not just another governance token, as stated above, this is one of the most<br />
sustainable cash-generating tokens on Solana. For example, you can earn yield<br />
from the points you get rewarded from your favorite local stores. The more of<br />
these cash-generating tokens you lockup the cheaper your fees will be, meaning<br />
more profit for the vendor and cheaper products for the customer!<br />
You can also use $YAMI to open a private treasury for yourself or your business.<br />
community and users can directly onboard more ecosystem participants without<br />
ANY financial commitment, unless they want to use the services of course.<br />
The Token Thesis<br />
$YAMI will be built upon the concept of ‘Reverse Ponzinomics’ coined by Nico.<br />
The ‘reverse’ in this case refers to the switch from focusing on high initial APR at<br />
the expense of ponzi-esque emissions. Using Reverse Ponzinomics, a protocol<br />
can capture massive portions of its generated value without the risk of losing the<br />
value and its generated yield when all parties leave the agreement. In traditional<br />
token ecosystems, the focus is on creating attractive APR from the start at the<br />
expense of the value generated by the protocol. In other words, when the APR is<br />
gone, the liquidity and value also vanishes.<br />
In a more technical sense, the Yami Ecosystem uses nash equilibrium agreements<br />
between three parties which allows two of the three parties to leave the agreement<br />
without causing damage to the underlying value. Not to be confused with the<br />
Olympus model where unstaking/unbonding do damage the underlying value.<br />
*Note: Tokenomics paper with all the details will follow, this is an introduction.<br />
The remodelling of the ecosystem is what has caused a delay in the expected<br />
February date for the tokenomic paper. Building a sustainable economy should<br />
be done right, we thank you for your patience. We hope that the insight provided<br />
above shows some of the potential value this ecosystem can create and capture.<br />
888 Anon Club x Yami<br />
The Fusion of Two Ecosystems into One.<br />
$YAMI is and will always be Community Powered & Controlled. Not only does<br />
this ecosystem reward you, but you get a direct say in the platform and its future<br />
thanks to On-chain governance as an NFT owner.<br />
Oh, one last thing… Have you ever seen a token whose value can grow without the<br />
need for new people to buy the token? $YAMI is one of the first tokens where its<br />
888 Anon Club x Yami: The first Steward DAO ecosystem<br />
The 888 Anon Club has existed for a short period of time, however, in that time we
have already seen the formation and continual organic growth of a collective of<br />
individuals (anons) with the focus of bringing privacy, and more importantly, tools<br />
that implement privacy to the Solana Network. We have seen over $1,000,000<br />
USD in sales volume on MagicEden within the first three days of our fundraising<br />
NFTs, showing clear support and high demand for privacy and zero knowledge<br />
protocols on the Solana Network (and the art of course).<br />
New Anons join us daily but up until now we admit there has been a general level<br />
of confusion regarding what the AnonDAO is aiming to do, where are we going,<br />
and what are we building.<br />
What happened to introducing privacy and ZK protocols to the Solana Network?<br />
The launch of SolanaPay was seldom discussed due to recent macro events, its<br />
importance and potential has not yet been captivated… until now. We believe<br />
SolanaPay will play a huge impact for crypto, taking a step forward to mainstream<br />
adoption. We saw the uncaptured opportunity that SolanaPay provided, so we<br />
decided to adapt and help facilitate this by offering a suite of innovative tools and<br />
financial services on Solana, integrating the privacy and zk protocols on top of it.<br />
“Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to<br />
cope and adapting to win.”<br />
Max McKeown<br />
If you have read this far, you probably understand the magnitude and potential of<br />
Yami; therefore we had to make a clear distinction between 888 Anon Club and<br />
Yami while finding a win-win situation for every party involved.<br />
Since Yami aims to demystify blockchain technology (while keeping it private) and<br />
open the doors to mainstream adoption, we felt it was necessary to separate the<br />
888 Anon Club brand from Yami to make the onboarding process for businesses<br />
easy and complication free. For example, imagine approaching Shopify for a<br />
partnership to integrate ‘888 Anon Club’ as a payment method — we think the<br />
name ‘Yami’ works better for this purpose. Businesses and individuals don’t need<br />
to know about 888 Anon Club to integrate YAMI with their business, however<br />
those interested in NFT ownership can benefit from the Yami Ecosystem, be part<br />
of the most prestigious and anonymous community and other benefits covered<br />
below.<br />
Yami: The company, business, and brand.<br />
AnonDAO: Owners of the 888 Anon Club NFT are the keyholders of the Yami<br />
Ecosystem and will have access to: a % of the fees from the Yami Ecosystem,<br />
the stables treasury pool to compound $YAMI (YamiEarn), On-chain governance,<br />
Anon Exclusive Clubhouse, early access to unreleased Yami tools and features,<br />
private Discord channels, and be part of the most prestigious and anonymous<br />
community on the blockchain.<br />
The AnonDAO is and will always be (so long that governance agrees as such)<br />
a Stewardship DAO for privacy on the Solana Blockchain. A community to be<br />
leveraged and built-in collaboration with in order to bring privacy to everyone.<br />

What you should about Blocksmith<br />
Lab NFT<br />
The Blocksmith Lab NFT collection on Solana has been getting quite a lot of<br />
attention recently.<br />
The mint will take place on March 24 on Magic Eden launch pad at the price of<br />
2,2 SOL per NFT. Only 364 out of 4444 NFTs in the collection will be available<br />
for the public mint. Most items were allocated for those who supported the<br />
project since the early days.<br />
Should you pay attention? Let's take a look and find out if Blocksmith Lab can<br />
repeat the success of Stoned Ape Club, DeGods, or other most successful NFT<br />
collections.<br />
Who is behind the collection?<br />
Blocksmith Labs is also the name of the team which is working on the project.<br />
It was formed in February of 2022 with the goal of solving the biggest problems<br />
within the NFT ecosystem.<br />
Blocksmith Labs have already released whitelisting platform Mercury. The tool<br />
transforms the whitelisting process offering the features that help projects to<br />
coordinate collection launches with less headache. As of today, Mercury has<br />
onboarded over 15 projects and 20,000 users.<br />
What do we know about the team members?<br />
On the official website, there are three members listed. Although their full<br />
names are unavailable, the links to their Twitter profiles are provided.<br />
Co-founder, Cryptonent is also a lead developer at DeGodsNFT. Cryptonent is<br />
a credible figure in the Solana ecosystem. Many notable names like Magic<br />
Eden, Aurory, NFT personalities like S◎L Big Brain (33.3%), fxnction aka<br />
igotabigdick.eth (33.3%) are in his follower list. At Blocksmith Labs, Cryptonet<br />
writes code for all new projects and focuses on day-to-day tasks.<br />
Co-founder, Product Owner, and Head of Engineering Harmy (33.3%) is also<br />
the creator of Solfolio, the Solana NFT portfolio tool, and NFT Floor Alerts. He<br />
writes code for all new projects, primarily focused on Mercury and Solfolio.<br />
Mert, an advisor of the project, previously worked at Coinbase, is co-founder of<br />
Polyweave, an API for human-readable blockchain data. At Blocksmith Labs<br />
Mert helps with product direction and provides consulting on partnerships.<br />
Mert is a notable figure on Twitter. In between his 16 thousand followers, there<br />
are also Magic Eden, Stoned Ape Crew, Portals, Aurory and many others.<br />
The artist responsible for NFT design and future art-related work is The<br />
NootGod (33.3%).<br />
The NootGod created hero-like NFTs emitting a powerful masculine vibe. The<br />
art is high-quality and can resonate with many individuals in the NFT space.<br />
Here are the few sneak peeks giving a hint of what the collection will look like:<br />
The proof of the team's ability to build is a big green flag for the NFT<br />
collection, and you should look out for this component if you want to find great<br />
NFT collections early.<br />

projects to configure sales and listing bots for their community without any<br />
hassle.<br />
There will be tradable lands on maps you can buy/sell/trade only with $FORGE<br />
tokens, and more utility will be added as the project progresses.<br />
Such incentives to hold an NFT and the practical utility of the token will very<br />
likely create constant demand. Beyond the mentioned benefits, Blocksmith<br />
Labs NFT holders will be a part of the community with the accomplished<br />
creators and experts at the core. The value found in Discords of such<br />
communities is immeasurable. Besides connecting with like-minded individuals<br />
and having a great time, you also get valuable insight into NFT alpha<br />
collections.<br />
Can the Blocksmith Lab be the next<br />
DeGods?<br />
There are many different elements that drive NFT projects into success. Still,<br />
the core reasons why such projects like Stoned Ape Crew or DeGods have been<br />
so successful are pretty simple: the collections have great teams behind them,<br />
art is well made, it resonates with a specific segment of an audience, NFTs and<br />
token provide innovative utility and use-cases.<br />
Benefits of being Blocksmith Labs NFT<br />
holder<br />
The Blocksmith Labs NFT holders will be able to generate the token $FORGE.<br />
The token will be a currency of the ecosystem and will be used to buy whitelist<br />
spots from the projects onboarded on Mercury.<br />
NFTs will also provide access to the pro version of Solfolio. Projects that own 3<br />
of the NFTs will have free access to the sales/listing bots service, allowing<br />
Blocksmith Labs NFTs has all these aspects covered. The team consists of<br />
accomplished individuals not only in the NFT world but also beyond, the art<br />
stands with a unique identity, plus it brings tons of benefits for a holder.<br />
P.S.<br />
Remember to do your research before investing in NFTs or cryptocurrencies.<br />
Our goal with DEXterLabs is to make your research more manageable and less<br />
time-consuming. Blog reviews or the digital asset analysis tool are meant to<br />
help you navigate the crypto world with more conviction, feel less<br />
overwhelmed and make better decisions.<br />

Honey<br />
I researched it so you don’t have to<br />
I have been researching Honey Finance for the past few days, trying to get the whole<br />
picture, and fully understanding the concept, in order to be able to break it down into<br />
simple sections for you.<br />
What is Honey?<br />
Honey Finance is a decentralized protocol that can support the financial infrastructure<br />
for NFTs.<br />
Finance for<br />
Dummies<br />
The latter aspect leads me to the other side of LP (Liquidity Providing):<br />
Lending money - this allowing you to get a percentage back, along with your initial<br />
amount.<br />
In addition, DAOs can use Honey to provide liquidity for their holders, through staking<br />
and borrowing. This means that if you have a project of your own, you can set up<br />
the staking through their services, with a 10 SOL, one-time fee.<br />
What problem are they solving and how are they doing it?<br />
Problem: How often does it happen that you want to mint a good project, but can’t<br />
because your financial worth is “stuck” in your NFTs, which you most likely don’t<br />
want to sell?<br />
This is just one way to look at it, but if we were to generalize the problem, it would be<br />
the fact that you’re missing opportunities, regardless of mints, secondary markets, etc.<br />
Obtaining liquidity in the NFT space is an issue many people have encountered.<br />
What does $HONEY do?<br />
I have good news for those that already staked their NFTs with HoneyLabs in the last<br />
weeks: you will be able to exchange 1 $pHONEY for 1 $HONEY.<br />
Now let’s get back to our sheep:<br />
$HONEY is the reward token and incentive mechanism for the protocol.<br />
Solution:They are solving it, by providing liquidity for its users; you can deposit NFTs<br />
into the protocol and get tokens in return. The interest rate percentage when borrowing<br />
is dynamic, depending on the lenders, who can decide what type of fee they want<br />
to administer; meaning you get the estimated value for your NFT, having to pay it<br />
back, when withdrawing it.<br />
60<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong>
This flow chart explains how the token is working and why it will keep doing so.<br />
You need $HONEY to be able to vote and for that, you must vest your $HONEY. Depending<br />
on how much you vest it for, you’ll get an amount of $veHONEY, allowing<br />
you to participate in DAO decisions.<br />
This is how much $veHONEY you receive for locking up 100 $HONEY tokens,<br />
depending on time:<br />
1 month: 100 $HONEY -> 0.48 $veHONEY<br />
3 months: 100 $HONEY -> 6.37 $veHONEY<br />
6 months: 100 $HONEY -> 12.74 $veHONEY<br />
1 year: 100 $HONEY -> 25 $veHONEY<br />
4 years: 100 $HONEY -> 100 $veHONEY<br />
Ideally, you will want to vest for a longer period, so that you get more voting power.<br />
Now let’s say you are alone in the DAO and there is 1000 $HONEY on the market:<br />
1. You buy 100 $HONEY from the open market, remaining 900 $HONEY.<br />
2. You vest 100 $HONEY for 4 years and get 100 $veHONEY.<br />
3. With 100 $veHONEY you vote to use HoneyDAO profits to distribute it<br />
to its holders. HoneyDAO distributes it by going to open market, buying<br />
300 $HONEY tokens, sending it to the $veHONEY stakers. Now there is<br />
600 $HONEY left on the market.<br />
4. You sell 300 $HONEY.<br />
pressure, in such a way that the token won’t dump. Of course, it is much more complicated<br />
because it’s not only one person in the DAO.<br />
HoneyDAO profits:<br />
• extracting fees from the borrow/lending protocol (10%)<br />
• staking services<br />
Ways you can get/earn $HONEY token:<br />
You can either buy it from the open market or through holding NFTs from their Honey<br />
Genesis Bee collection, which you can buy from the secondary market.<br />
NFT Holder Benefits<br />
There are multiple benefits, but the ones I am going to state here are NFT holders<br />
only.<br />
• Access to experimental yield vaults (Yield Farming = investment strategy<br />
in DeFi, which involves lending or staking your cryptocurrency coins<br />
or tokens to get rewards in the form of transaction fees or interest).<br />
• 2-year liquidity mining (Liquidity Mining = a process in which crypto<br />
holders lend assets to a decentralized exchange in return for rewards).<br />
• Early access to new features (they are still building tools, which weren’t<br />
announced yet).<br />
• Indirect benefits, as mentioned earlier.<br />
5. How much is left on the open market?<br />
6. I can tell you: 900 $HONEY - which is less than it was in the beginning.<br />
This brief example shows how the system is minimizing inflation and increases buy<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong> 61
Who are the people behind it? How did they come up with the idea?<br />
Tom J. Pandolfi - the founder, Darius and Pedro - core team, have been essentially<br />
high school friends. Tom and Darius had been in the crypto space for some time,<br />
starting coding their own projects in early 2021 (for example, a PancakeSwap fork).<br />
Tom got interested in NFTs and quickly realized he wasn’t liquid at all. The dots<br />
started to connect from there, thinking about all the lending protocols for fungible<br />
tokens, Tom came up with the idea of doing the same with non-fungible tokens.<br />
They wanted to help the degens and the individuals in the space, allowing them to<br />
have freedom and creating a playing field, where everyone has equal access.<br />
Conclusion:<br />
Why is the project here to stay? Why are people so bullish on it?<br />
They are solving a real problem people have. Honey cracked the code. Given the fact<br />
NFTs are typically illiquid assets, it is valuable for the adopters to get a service like<br />
the one they are providing.<br />
Just by reading all their documents and articles, you can see they’ve got legal help,<br />
making it very professional and transparent. I think that is such a thoughtful thing to<br />
do with people who are looking to invest in your product. They are also replying to<br />
questions easily and don’t try beating around the bush, making the team a reachable<br />
one.<br />
The sole purpose of this article is to inform its readers about current opportunities. It<br />
is not to make the readers buy the NFT, nor the token. The article is designed to be<br />
impartial. You are the only one deciding if this project can be valuable to you.<br />
I would like to thank Futuristic, for helping with the research and providing consultation.<br />

A small thread on how I ended up on Solana, how I view the ecosystem,<br />
and what we have planned.<br />
I am a long time Ethereum investor, having spent many years using the<br />
platform and accumulating coins. After about 5 years of buying and<br />
HODLING Ethereum, I started to dabble in ETH NFT’s. It didn’t take long for<br />
me to realize that with the price of gas and the way the network functioned<br />
(especially in times of high network congestion) that this was not going to<br />
be sustainable. I took many wins but also many losses in ETH NFT’s, and<br />
still hold onto many until this day.<br />
One day across my news feed I saw the sale of the Solana Monkey Business<br />
King. I thought to myself, how did an NFT just sell for north of $1mm on a<br />
blockchain that was NOT the almighty ETH? This sparked my curiosity, and<br />
down the SOL rabbit hole I went!<br />
After securing my SMB (#3270) I spent hundreds of hours researching<br />
Solana, how it all worked, the various marketplaces, projects, etc. Just<br />
using the network, saving thousands on fees and watching transactions<br />
happen instantly was all I needed<br />
to see to know this would be my new home for the foreseeable future.<br />
After having spent a lot of time in the MonkeDAO and watching cash<br />
grabbing derivative projects launching one after the other with the sole<br />
aim of sucking liquidity out of the ecosystem, I decided I needed to do<br />
something about it.<br />
A little bit about my background on the biz dev side:<br />
I have been building websites since 1999. Over the years I have amassed<br />
a loyal team of 40 designers, developers, project managers, IT specialists,<br />
system managers, and more. This team is invaluable to me, and has been<br />
the reason for all of my success to-date.<br />
Together, we have built and sold companies, and can proudly say that we<br />
have also developed just<br />
north of 3,000 websites<br />
to-date, both for small<br />
to medium sized<br />
businesses, VC-funded<br />
startups, shark tank<br />
contestants, government<br />
institutions, and more!<br />
I spent the next few weeks<br />
working with my design<br />
and dev team to create<br />
Monkey Baby Business.<br />
The goal of MBB was<br />
to be the first ‘official’<br />
deriviative collection of<br />
MonkeDAO, with 100% of<br />
all royalties donated to<br />
MonkeDAO.<br />
To me, the goal was to ensure that money was no longer being siphoned<br />
out of the ecoysystem into cash grabs but rather into a holistic project<br />
with a rock star team behind it ready and willing to work on propelling<br />
Solana forward through a plethora of new tools and innovations.<br />
After a few weeks of turmoil in MonkeDAO during a vote to ‘endorse’ or<br />
‘absord’ MBB, the vote ended, and it was decided that MBB was going to<br />
remain a standalone project.<br />
This only inspired me to do more and to ensure that everyone who<br />
supported MBB from Day 1 would not be let down.<br />
A few weeks later, we launched the new MBB website - https://monkeybaby.<br />
business -- the goal of the website was to outline our plans, and to make<br />
a statement that Monkey Baby Business was HERE TO STAY.<br />
One of our first projects was the MBB Launchpad - https://monkeybaby.<br />
business/launchpad - The MBB launchpad is officially open and taking on<br />
new project requests. The launchpad provides everything creators need<br />
to launch their projects successfully, all while providing value to MBB<br />
holders.<br />
A week later we rolled out our proprietary Markert Watch / Sniper tool<br />
72<br />
<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>49</strong>
https://alpha.monkeybaby.business/tools/<br />
marketwatch… -- This tool allows buyers to find,<br />
sort and filter by price and rarity to find the best<br />
deals on MBB’s.<br />
As our community started to grow many ideas<br />
were tossed around. One thing we do really well<br />
is listen to feedback. Within a week, we started<br />
to roll out custom Discord channels based on<br />
user requests.<br />
Some of those channels included: new mints (a<br />
steady stream of all new mints available on the<br />
SOL blockchain), upcoming mints (never miss a<br />
mint again by knowing when they are coming<br />
up), trending mints (proprietary algorithm that<br />
informs on trending mints), and more.<br />
After spending a lot of time minting new Solana<br />
NFT projects and falling short due to unreliable<br />
third-party creator websites, marketplaces<br />
crashing, etc. - we decided that it was time to<br />
build a platform for minters that would be<br />
SECURE, RELIABLE and provide the DATA needed<br />
to make the most informed decisions when it<br />
came to minting.<br />
And low and behold --- we launched http://<br />
Soller.ai. http://Soller.ai is a comprehensive data<br />
analytics and on-chain minting platform. It is just<br />
as good at helping you decide what TO mint as<br />
it is as helping you avoid bad mints and saving<br />
your precious SOL.<br />
http://Soller.ai is updated daily. It currently<br />
supports CMv1, CMv2, Nova, LaunchMyNFT and<br />
ME Launchpad integration is in the works. In<br />
addition to reliability, Soller provides some of<br />
the following security benefits:<br />
- no phishing or fake websites (eg. Nobu Ninjas<br />
DNS poisoning attack), the only website you<br />
need to go through is Soller - eliminated risk of<br />
being rugged from malicious code in a frontend<br />
website - saves setting wallet approvals for<br />
various mint websites.<br />
With the success of Soller, it was only natural<br />
for us to continue trying to build new products<br />
to further propel Solana forward<br />
We are currently working on the release of http://<br />
KillShot.ai - this tool is a market aggregator and<br />
secondary market collection sniper.<br />
We have seen immense success in raising the<br />
floor price within our own collection with the<br />
release of the MBB Sniper tool and we believe<br />
the same will be the case for collections listed<br />
on KillShot.<br />
We are simultaneously working on the release of<br />
http://SolObserver.com - this tool is a collection<br />
aggregator that provides insights into popular<br />
collections on the Solana Blockchain. View floor<br />
price history, holder counts, sort by specific<br />
traits, compare price vs. rank, +more<br />
We have a lot more planned for the future. Some<br />
notable items include our MBB marketplace, an<br />
exclusive Solana marketplace (aimed at creating<br />
a stable trading environment for NFT investors),<br />
Secondary analytics tools to help fuel better<br />
trading decisions, and much much more.<br />
The ability to leverage my design and<br />
development team to work on propelling Solana<br />
forward through innovative tools and products<br />
is not something that I take for granted. We<br />
are thoroughly enjoying this space and plan to<br />
continue to provide value for many years to<br />
come.<br />
Long story short ... Don’t Sleep on Monkey Baby<br />
Business!<br />
