Unlocking the Imagination: Exploring Blockchain
NFT Concept Art
In the vibrant world of blockchain NFTs, concept
art serves as the portal to boundless creativity and
imagination. These digital canvases crafted by talented
artists often lay the foundation for immersive
gaming experiences, awe-inspiring landscapes,
and captivating storytelling. In this review, we
delve into some remarkable pieces of concept art,
each a testament to the limitless possibilities of
this burgeoning digital art form.
Rocket Queen by UNLENS
Concept art isn’t just about characters; it’s about
bringing them to life. UNLENS, with their creation
“Rocket Queen,” offers a glimpse into the meticulous
design process that goes into crafting protagonists
and their worlds. The Rocket Queen herself
is nothing short of incredible, leaving us eagerly
anticipating her adventures.
Rubycreatenft takes us beyond the confines of
reality with “Serendipity,” pushing the boundaries
of traditional landscape art. This artwork invites us
to explore fantastical realms that exist only in the
artist’s imagination, proving that concept art can
transport us to places we’ve never dreamed of.
2.Serendipity by rubycreatenft
Starwatcher x27238 by DA0XLAB
Environments play a pivotal role in storytelling,
and DA0XLAB’s “Starwatcher x27238” brings
them to life. From landscapes to architecture,
concept art influences level layouts and sets the
mood, immersing players in rich and immersive
worlds.

5.F-Stop by Omore
Warrior’s Resting Place by UNLENS
UNLENS returns with “Warrior’s Resting Place,” a testament
to the power of concept art in setting the tone
and style of a game. From color palettes to lighting,
this artwork guides the visual direction to create a
cohesive and captivating gaming experience.
3.Starwatcher x27238 by DA0XLAB
Elvish Lyrist by ErnestoC
Collaboration between concept artists, writers, musicians,
and designers often results in visual masterpieces.
ErnestoC’s “Elvish Lyrist” is a shining example
of this synergy. This artwork was created for a music
single album titled “The Elves,” inspired by Norse
mythology’s Alfheim realm. It pays homage to the renowned
watercolor artist Rebecca Guay while beautifully
complementing the melodic journey of the album.
6. warrior’s resting place by UNLENS
Hunter on Hunter by UNLENS
UNLENS proves to be a master of visual impact with
“Hunter on Hunter.” This artwork demonstrates how
artists use color, typography, imagery, and design
principles to create attention-grabbing and memorable
posters. It’s a striking reminder that concept art
extends beyond the digital realm, making an impact in
the physical world as well.

4. Elvish Lyrist by ErnestoC
F-Stop by Omore
Concept art knows no bounds when it comes to style
and genre. Omore’s “F-Stop” offers a glimpse of a futuristic
world that captivates with its motion and visual
impact. It’s a reminder that concept art can transport
us to entirely different realities, whether they are rooted
in the past, present, or future.
7. hunter on hunter by UNLENS
Solitude #5 by aaronlhg
As a storytelling tool, concept art has the power to
convey mood, tone, and atmosphere like no other
medium. “Solitude #5” by aaronlhg is a prime example,
pulling viewers into its melancholic embrace and
allowing them to connect emotionally with the depicted
character.
8. Solitude #5 by aaronlhg
In the world of blockchain NFTs, concept art shines
as a beacon of creativity and innovation. These digital
masterpieces open doors to uncharted realms, immerse
us in rich environments, and breathe life into
characters we can only dream of. As the blockchain
NFT ecosystem continues to evolve, one thing remains
clear: concept art will always be at its heart,
guiding us on imaginative journeys beyond our wildest
dreams.

GenoPets
Unleash your inner gamer and earn rewards with Genopets! Explore, battle, and evolve your digital pet as you
walk and take on daily challenges. With your Genopet by your side, every step becomes an adventure. So why
wait? Enter the Genoverse today and start your journey to a more rewarding lifestyle. Sign up for early access on
our website.
Genopets is the gamification of an active lifestyle. Walking around the mall? Jogging at the gym? Running between
meetings in your office? No matter how you stay active, your Genopet is always by your side, counting the
steps you’ll use to fuel your gameplay.
Genopets is a move-to-earn game that does more than count your steps and reward you for how much you walk.
The game is predicated on you building a bond with your digital companion and taking care of it every day by taking
care of yourself.
Paying homage to the nostalgia of taking care of our Tamagotchi, evolving and battling our Pokémon, or even
raising our first real-world pet, the emotional connection between oneself and their pet is a powerful force. That
emotional force is the premise of Genopets and ultimately what will help motivate you to live a more active
lifestyle.
Rewarding an Active Lifestyle
Passively played, but actively rewarded.
As you go about your life, Genopets uses the pedometer on your smartphone to track your physical activity. After
a long day, you can bank your steps to convert your real-life movement into Energy, your source of in-game fuel;
we call this move-to-play. Energy unlocks opportunities to earn rewards like converting Energy to KI (with a Habitat)
or XP to level up and using Energy to battle, explore, and play with your pet too.
60 SHILL Issue #129
Genopets is played passively as you accrue steps throughout
the day. Every day, you’ll need to bank your steps to
reap the rewards of your day’s activity before the clock
strikes midnight. By removing hours of staring and tapping
on a screen from the equation, we replace traditional
mobile game grinding with building better habits through
gamified self-care. This action you take to recognize your
hard work every day is designed to reward consistency.
The key to self-care starts with building better habits.
Move-to-Play + Play-to-Earn = Move-to-Earn Gaming.
GameFi Sustainability
Sustainability has been a hot topic in GameFi over the
past year—and rightly so. Games could onboard billions of
players to Web3 through fun and rewarding experiences.
However, that adoption will not happen without game
developers iterating on existing play-to-earn models.
Building a sustainable Web3 game economy begins with
designing meaningful, interactive experiences for the playerbase
to engage and bond with. These serve as the basis
of the player’s desire to play the game (fun) and means
to transact around (earn), via trading and collaboration.
A game players enjoy for its intrinsic, experiential value
affords opportunities to spend and be rewarded for efforts
in-game.
From meaning, comes value; from value, comes earning.
We believe the solution to creating a sustainable GameFi
economy where players can earn in all kinds of ways must
be built on 3 foundational principles:
1.Create a game that rewards players for dedication
and skill, not solely how much they are willing to
invest financially in the game. By actively playing
the game, and investing their time and efforts into a
Genopet, their NFT can appreciate because of their
hard work; and can be freely traded within the game’s
marketplace economy, with capital flowing from other
players willing to pay for a head start. This leads to
non-linear, skill-based earning, not dependent on
increasing fungible token emissions.
2.Facilitate the creation and transaction of value between
players in a marketplace economy where players
must continually make choices on how to earn.
Genopets fuels a creator economy of players transacting
in-game items for their enjoyment of the game
and the potential to earn. In this way, the viability of
the economy rests on daily active use of the game as
players buy, sell, or trade to play. As a game publisher,
we define what can exist, but it’s up to players to make
it happen and assign value to the items they create.
3.Create experiences (and NFTs) worth paying for!
This allows for deflationary sinks to stabilize the ingame
economy. Players are willing to pay for cosmetic
items in Web2 games purely for their aesthetics;
many other items are prized for their social proofing
or emotional
value. Web3
games have
the unique
opportunity
for this value
to be recognized
in real,
meaningful
terms for player-creators,
who will be
empowered
to create and
sell game NFTs
for a potential
profit. A player
reinvesting
earnings in
customizing a Genopet’s wings, tail, colorway, or other
augments could be monetizable attributes, with rarity
increasing marketplace value.
We posit that designing a game following these basic
principles will create a sustainable in-game economy
predicated on transaction of value between players
rather than earning derived from unsustainable
growth and inflationary fungible token rewards. A marketplace
driven game rewards players for dedication,
thrives because of daily active use, and grows with
players enjoyment of the game.
Marketplace Economy
Genopets affords players a multitude of ways to earn by
creating and trading value among one another. The more
effort put into upgrading a Genopet, the better it can be at
battle, the farther it can explore in the Genoverse, and ultimately,
the more rare and valuable it may become when
traded on marketplaces.
Marketplace doesn’t end at Genopets. Whether players
are crafting a rare Augment, terraforming a Habitat or
refining a new set of Crystals, actions taken in-game all
create value that can be transferred between players.
Genopets facilitates a creator economy and marketplace of
players creating and transferring value among each other
which in turn results in earning opportunities.
The innovation that makes this model sustainable is rooted
in the viability of the economy being tied to players’ daily
active use and enjoyment of the game, rather than relying
on continuous user growth to be sustainable.
Player’s affinity for their Genopet’s growth and evolution,
battle abilities and storyline to explore create a multitude
of ways players will be able to enjoy, strategize, and earn in
game. That enjoyment will fuel crafting, buying, and selling
in-game items, Genopets, and Habitats, creating a flourishing
economy built around a player driven marketplace.
See GameFi Sustainability for more of our thoughts on
designing a viable GameFi economy.
A marketplace driven economy enables all players to be
financially rewarded from gameplay. Short-term earning
through fungible token or a greater long term earning
opportunity from the creation, use, and sale of Genopets
NFTs. This foundation we believe will lead to a more
sustainable economic model from which we can grow
and expand with additional content as the game grows in
popularity.
This not only creates two economies in which players can
earn, but it also makes the marketplace opportunity much
larger with Genopet NFTs, Habitats, Crystals, Augments,
Seeds, and more, all being traded among players willing
to pay to get ahead or simply because they love the
game. This is the foundation of our economic model from
which we can grow and expand with additional content
as the game grows in popularity. For example, items and
augments equipped by Genopets which can be crafted
through a formula of KI, GENE, and Crystals can be bought
and sold on the in-game marketplace, thus further bolstering
the economy.
See Player Created Economy for a more in-depth view of
our thoughts on virtual economies and players as economic
agents in game economies.
Game Rules
Genopets is a game that makes it fun and rewarding for
you to live an active lifestyle. Walking around the mall?
Jogging at the gym? Running between meetings in your
office? That’s being active.
A Genopet’s evolution and growth are earned through
honest individual activity. Attempts to cheat the system
devalue other players’ efforts and destabilize the ecosystem.
Here are the general rules of the game. Please read
them carefully.
1. One account per person, per device. No multi-accounting.
2. Get steps by walking, running, or jogging. GPS is not
required, but you need to move to play this game.
3. Using hardware devices or software to input step data
to simulate movement is not allowed.
4. Swapping Genesis Genopets between accounts has a
24-Hour cooldown.
Please do not try to cheat the system. Violation or attempts
to violate these rules may result in being banned
from the game or other repercussions. Cheaters will be
banned at the sole discretion of the Genopets Team. The
team reserves the right to add or change these rules as the
game evolves.
Being banned means your account can’t access the game,
your wallet can’t access Mainframe, your pet’s level is
reset to 0, you lose all your energy, and all of your pending
harvests are revoked.

Introducing @TheStonedCybers, Pioneering the fusion
of 3D cannabis gaming and your favourite Blockchain
(@solananof course) Little surprise at the end.
The project was founded by my good friend @ryry_so,
who is a successful American auto-entrepreneur IRL.
While the initial project was to build a cannabis-related
business IRL, from growing to selling, plans change
to fit realistic objectives. Pre-mint roadmap is already
out!
Team has been working hard the past few months,
and community members already profited from over
10$SOL of prizes by just showing up in the discord
(cool NFTs and $SOLANA) https://discord.gg/AJ6K84qV
Rumbles, riddles, VC games, name it!
What to expect on the short term?
The game demo is about to hit in a few weeks! After
1/1s launch (expect awesome post-mint priviliges),
the Gen1 Collection will be minting (limited supply of
1000 NFTs). Most of mint funds will be used for game
blockchain integration!
Disclaimer
I have been helping @TheStonedCybers as an Advisor,
and daily brainstorming with @ryry_so to bring the
most value back to our current community, and hopefully
our future holders. I am strongly biased but shit
we cooking is so good not gonna lie, nobody is ready!
64 SHILL Issue #129
What kind of game to expect?
Grow, sell, trade, protect your factory, upgrade your Grow
Rooms, in a 3D first person game that has no equivalent in
or outside the blockchain! A real game changer is about to
hit us, and no one is ready for what has been cooking!
What else?
Exciting partnership with @sol_suite will allow you to
send your NFTs to ADVENTURES with the chance of returning
with prizes but also bet against other players. Also live
on @MonetSAC
And more to come but that’s a secret for now.
And that’s not all! The vibrant community (420+ on discord,
420+ on X) is higly supportive and engaging, full of
@solana Ogs. Big shout out to @buzz_231 & @MinoThe-
Goon for providing stoner proofs and educational content
related to Cannabis consumption.
Stoned Professors
Why play @TheStonedCybers game?
You’ll be earning an in-game token, which you will be able
to use in many ways:

Retroactive Public Goods Funding and Solana’s Future
The Solana Retro Public Goods Funding is a program by OpenBlock Labs where $250,000 of funding for
public goods projects is allocated to initiatives that have already made an impact on the Solana community.
The allocation is determined through a voting process involving a diverse set of community delegates
and funds are distributed to the projects that have been listed in the final results.
The program includes various efforts such as creating tools like developer SDKs, APIs, oracles, and educational
resources to promote dApp development. It also involves the development of protocols and
standards to enhance governance.
During the program, individuals can nominate projects by submitting relevant details and links on the
forum.
The nominated projects should contribute to the Solana tech stack, developer ecosystem, governance,
and user experience and adoption.
Solana Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Round 1)
Back in Issue #10 I shared an idea shared by Mert of Helius for an “Only Possible on Solana” hackathon.
Just a few weeks later that hackathon became a reality and a bunch of projects were submitted across
31 tracks.
What about a Solana hackathon for written and educational content only?
It might be just an idea for now, but if the OPOS hackathon was any indication I’d start thinking about

This report from Nansen provides an in-depth look at
Solana’s performance and growth in the blockchain
space.
Some of the key highlights include:
• Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has almost
doubled
• Solana’s staking yield is currently double that
of Ethereum
• Solana has maintained 100% uptime year-todate
• Visa introducing settlement of USDC on Solana
• Solana’s state compression technology significantly
reduces minting and transaction costs
for NFTs
• DRiP emerged as the largest collection of Solana
NFTs
The document also discusses the importance of
measuring decentralization and the need for bridging
infrastructure and native asset support in the Solana
ecosystem.
Overall, Solana’s performance and adoption are seen
as positive, but there are still areas for improvement.
Solana: Past, Present, and Future
Helius Mint API
The Mint API streamline the process of minting compressed
NFTs by handling Merkle tree management,
dealing with the storage layer and associated costs,
and ensures the seamless upload of off-chain metadata
to Arweave.
