Latest Defy Mosaics News

Tomorrow starts the burning event for Defybirds, allowing holders a chance to get their hands on a Legendary Glitch version of the collaboration between artist Des Lucrece and Moonbirds according to an announcement from the project. 

❗ Why It Matters

Nudebird-trait Moonbirds that were nested before Mar. 8 and selected Des Lucréce holders will be eligible to participate in the burn event using their Defybirds. The burn will offer a special Glitch Bird NFT from one of the most notable artists in 2023. Additionally, perhaps in response to some criticism about the trait-based airdrops, PROOF also airdropped 185 Defybirds to random nested Moonbirds holders. 

🔎 The Deets

To claim a Glitch Defybird, you will need to burn one of each color of a single species of DefyBird, of which there are eight in total. The burning event will open at noon ET on Friday, Mar. 17.

Defy Mosaics holders can expect monthly "Monster Editions" drops in the near future, according to project founder and artist Lucréce.

❗ Why It Matters

Lucréce continues to reward top holders with more of their art. Defy Monsters were originally gifted to holders of complete Proceed w/ Caution sets earlier this month, and many of these same holders will now be further rewarded with access to future drops.

🔍 The Deets

• Lucréce said today's announcement (Phase 4) was supposed to come later in the roadmap, but Phase 3 is taking longer than anticipated.
• Moving forward, editions will be airdropped to "X" number of top holders, where X represents 10% of the edition's supply.
• Lucréce plans to add more gamification elements in future drops "as we get the train rolling."
• The first drop may come as soon as this month.

Des Lucréce announced a 1-year deal with fine arts broker Sotheby's in a tweet yesterday evening. 

❗ Why It Matters

While the terms of the deal are not yet known, Sotheby's gives the "Monsters" creator another platform to help expand their reach. 

🔍 Need to Know

This is not the first time the two new partners have worked together. In January, Sotheby's hosted an auction of Des Lucréce's work, titled "DesMonsters," in an online auction format. That auction resulted in eight sales of $25,000 or more.
