A PUBLIC STUDIO / LOOKING TOWARD 2027

A map of
the making.

Ideas become places.
Places become things to try.

Design studies, reading rooms, small instruments and a little fieldwork. A way into what’s open now — and what’s taking shape next.

CHAIN STATUS / OBSERVATION BEFORE ACTION

Separate the rails.

A dated view of the available evidence. A contract, a payment experiment and a working mint are different claims. No automatic polling runs here.

Mainnet contracts verified

Tezos / existing contracts

Existing Tezos mainnet contracts were verified against public registry records. Contract existence does not show that every collection has an open mint flow.

Next checkRead the registered contract context and check the particular collection’s current state.

Checked

Quote available / settlement unverified

Etherlink / x402

The read-only endpoint quotes 0.01 USDC on Etherlink (42793); settlement was not verified in this snapshot. Base remains awaiting configuration. x402 is a payment protocol, separate from the PointCast dev chain.

Next checkCompare the quote and runtime catalog. A quote or signed receipt alone is not proof of settlement.

Checked

Specific services disabled / preview

Art & archive minting

An archive-wide collector flow is not verified here. Other Worlds’ claim service and Agent Cabinet are disabled previews; Other Worlds also has older minted inventory. These specific states do not mean every Tezos contract is paused.

Next checkVerify each collection’s rights, edition terms and current availability before proposing a collector release.

Checked

Recorded replay / nonpublic launch chain

PointCast Chain / dev replay

Replay 421 recorded dev-chain blocks, saved on 3 October 2026 at 19:31:59 UTC. A separate no-value, resettable bot-devnet guide offers MCP examples and a GET-only watch. The launch chain remains nonpublic and the art-commerce mint adapter remains unconfigured. This recording has not been replay-verified here; its binding to historical Shadownet posts is unchecked.

Next checkRead the dated network boundaries and try verification of the saved recording.
