In the name of artistic empowerment and innovation, we’re delighted to announce our partnership with SuperRare Labs. Aligned with the Web3 ethos, we are working together to increase access to digital art for more creators and collectors than ever before. This alliance between our platforms is the powerful next step in the NFT space. Playing to our strengths, here at Async, we are continuing to build more robust creator tools, while SuperRare is leading the way as a premium art marketplace.
The partnership kicks off with a brand-new, exclusive Blueprint drop from crypto artist Osinachi. His collection will be available for minting on Async and its secondary listings will be available on SuperRare for the first time ever. A portion of the proceeds from secondary sales will automatically route to the SuperRare DAO community treasury, just like any other sale on SuperRare.
On the exciting partnership, SuperRare co-founder Jonathan Perkins said: “We are forming an alliance of authentic, art-focused believers in the true ethos of Web3 — composability, interoperability & collaboration — for the benefit of all artists, collectors & stakeholders.”
Nigeria-based artist Osinachi, whose Async artwork “Choose the Man You Will Become II” Master recently sold for 20 ETH ($56,116), was a clear choice for the partnership launch, having created several pieces via Async, and with his work well sought after on SuperRare. On being part of the launch, Osinachi said: “This partnership marks a new era in NFTs and crypto art for creators, collectors, and platforms.”
The “Across The Face” collection, which goes on sale May 24th, 2022, is Osinachi’s genesis Blueprint collection and follows in the footsteps of OG artists XCOPY, Coldie, and Alotta Money who released Blueprints on Async’s platform in December 2021.
Async Blueprints represents a means for collectors to acquire artwork from their favorite artists at a more accessible price. While 1/1s from well-known artists can sell for a substantial amount of ETH, a Blueprint collection provides unique, one-of-a-kind pieces at a lower point of entry into a community of dedicated collectors.
Using the Async Canvas tool, artists can generate a collection of Editions from their uploaded materials, without any programming knowledge. By breaking this technology barrier, creators can deliver future-facing artwork that has both purpose and utility.
Conlan, our founder and CEO, said: “We’re thrilled to be working closely with SuperRare and are looking forward to making further innovations for both artists and collectors. This is the first step of many to show the space that we are committed to the Web3 ethos and powering communities.”
The NFT space is evolving at lightning speed and this visionary partnership is working to further unleash the creative potential of artists in the space. Async and SuperRare coming together for the very first time demonstrates interoperability in the art world with artists — like Osinachi — bridging the two platforms together as a symbol of unity.
This launch only marks the beginning of our partnership. We know there are much bigger things to come.
