For every Facets I piece you mint, receive its Facets II counterpart via airdrop. Mint piece #1 from Facets I to receive Piece #1 from Facets II.
Facets II blind tokens will be issued to Collectors following the Facets Draft. Artwork will reveal as each Facets II piece is created over the course of the year.
In 2013, Australian artist Justin Maller created Facets I : a year-long daily art project comprising 365 unique pieces. Viewed by hundreds of millions, the collection forged an iconic brand anchored by his trademark geometric and abstract styles. The project cemented his impact on both the visual art world and tech creative culture.
As Maller prepares to commence work on his second year-long collection of daily pieces, Facets II, he has tokenized the entire original collection, and is inviting collectors to enjoy a unique interactive experience as they accompany him on a true journey of creativity. For the first time ever, collectors will have control over editioning the pieces they own as they compete in leaderboard races for exclusive prizes and rewards.
Tokens for all 365 pieces from the original Facets collection are minted. On June 15th 2022 at 1PM PST these tokens are offered as blind 1/1’s via Dutch Auction (3.65ETH - 0.5ETH). At the time of minting individual pieces are not assigned to tokens, and tokens will locked from transfers until the draft is complete. The day after token minting is complete, the Draft Room opens and individual piece drafting commences.
Collectors are invited to the Draft Room to select their favourite piece from Facets I . Selection order directly correlates to purchase order. The sooner you buy, the sooner you select. Once the Draft is complete, all 365 tokens are updated to reflect selected Facets I artwork and transfers are unlocked.
At this time, all holders will be airdropped their Facets II tokens. Whoever holds Piece #1 of Facets I will be airdroppped the blind token for Piece #1 of Facets II.
Facets II commences soon after minting concludes. Each day for one year a new piece of art will be created. Facets II tokens will update to reveal their artwork as each piece is created over the course of the year.
Points will be awarded to collectors based on tokens held. The Facets Leaderboards will create real-time standings, ranking collectors by how many points they have accumulated and other key metrics. Leading collectors will compete for the following rewards:
The entire Facets I and Facets II year-long collections will each be minted as 1/1 montage prizes, and airdropped to the individual collector/s with the most points from each Year at the end of Facets II.
Both Full Year Reward races can be monitored in real time on the Leaderboard page.
Series are thematic mini-collections within Facets. Some Series will have prizes such as montages or animations minted as airdrop Series Rewards .
Each Series Rewards will have its own unique Criteria, Prizing, and Snapshot Timing. Series Reward tokens will also have a Point Value that contributes to the Full Year Reward Races.
Some Series Rewards (such as Beast Dreams and Beach Dreams ) will be live at launch. More Series Rewards will be announced over the course of Facets II as new Series are created!
All Series Rewards information and races can be monitored in real time on the Leaderboard page.
Series Rewards will launch with two rewards for established thematic Series from Facets I. More will be announced as Facets II progresses. Leaderboards will track progress in real time.
Facets Series are thematic mini-collections of pieces sharing a similar concept or approach. The pieces comprising these mini-collections can span both years of work.
Each Facets Series will have its own Reward, Criteria, Snapshot Date and Year Long Reward Point Value. Not all Criteria will be about amassing points - some will require interaction and strategy.
All Series Reward tokens have a unique Point Value that contributes to the Full Year Reward races. Some may be more valuable than others....
Keep an eye on all Series Reward Leaderboards - whilst some Series Rewards will not be delivered until years end, some of the snapshots will be taken whilst Facets II is in progress!
For the first time ever, Collectors will be given the power to control editioning of the pieces you hold! You may burn your 1/1 in exchange for a full edition of 10 x 1/10’s. These editions may be freely sold or traded to reap profits, grow your collection or accumulate more Points in races for Rewards on the Leaderboard!
Both Full Year Rewards races and many Series Rewards races will be decided by who has the most Points at the time of Snapshot. Burning your 1/1 will directly impact your Points total on the Leaderboards.
Decisions you make regarding Burning, Selling or Holding your tokens will have an impact across the whole Facets ecosystem, especially when it comes to closely contested Series Rewards races.
Exclusive prizes in their own right, Series Rewards Tokens will also be worth Points towards Full Year Rewards races. Competing to earn Series Rewards may be a vital strategy in the quest to win Full Year Rewards races. Each Series Rewards will be worth a unique Point value. All Series Rewards information and races can be monitored in real time on the Leaderboard.
All 365 pieces will go on sale June 15th 2022 at 1:00 PST. Sale will be a Dutch Auction, with price descending over 3 hours from 3.65ETH to 0.5ETH. There will be no whitelist and no wallet limit. All tokens will mint blind, and be locked for transfers until the Facets I artwork is assigned during the Facets Draft.
Once minting is complete all collectors will be invited into the Draft Room to select their individual artworks. Selection will happen in exact purchase order, with each collector afforded a one minute window to draft. If a Collector does not make a pick during their Draft Window, the system will automatically attempt to draft their highest ranking piece. If Collectors miss their Selection Window, do not rank pieces, or have all their ranked pieces drafted by other collectors they will automatically draft the earliest created piece (i.e. closest to #1 in the chronological order of creation) available in the pool.
Prior to the draft Collectors will be able to immediately Rank their favourite pieces from Facets I. Collectors may Rank as many pieces as they desire before the Draft Room opens. If a Collector does not make a pick during their Draft Window, the system will automatically attempt to draft their highest ranking piece. If that piece has already been selected, it will move down their rankings until it finds an available piece to select. Collectors who cannot make the live draft are encouraged to Rank pieces through to their Draft slot to avoid auto-drafting - if you’re drafting 50th, Rank at least 50 pieces.
They haven’t been created yet! Collectors will accompany Justin as he creates all 365 of them, one per day, once the Facets Draft is complete.
Facets II tokens will be airdropped to Collectors once drafting is complete. If you draft Piece #1 from Facets I, you will be airdropped the token for Piece #1 from Facets II. Facets II pieces will reveal as they are created over the course of the year.
Facets I and Facets II will be minted as separate 1/1 Reward Montages featuring all 365 pieces from each year. These Reward Montages will be airdropped to the collector/s who amass the most points from each Year. Points from Series Rewards will also count towards both Year Long Races. In the event of a tie, the person who reached the highest total first will receive the 1/1.
Series are thematic mini-collections of pieces sharing a similar concept or approach. The pieces comprising these mini-collections can span both years of work. The project will launch with several existing Series created during Facets I. More will be added over the course of Facets II. Series will be designated solely at the artist's discretion.
Series Rewards will launch with rewards for two already established thematic Series from Facets I. More Series Rewards will be announced as Facets II progresses. Series Rewards may build upon existing Series from Facets I, or be entirely contained within Facets II. Not every series from Facets I or Facets II will have a Series Reward. Each announced Series Reward will have its own Reward, Criteria, Snapshot Date and Year Long Reward Point Value.
Collectors will be able to burn their 1/1 in exchange for a full edition of 10 (10 x 1/10’s). Burning will directly impact your standing on the leaderboard. Your 1/1 is worth 10 points. Each 1/10 is worth 2 points each. By burning the 1/1 you will immediately double your points in all races. You can process the burn on this website once the Draft is complete.
Yes. Existing collectors of all 1/1s and all limited edition pieces from Justin’s Nifty Gateway releases will receive points on the leaderboard towards Year Long Rewards. Pieces must be held in the wallet connected to this site to impact the leaderboard. The Point values are as follows:
