Telos Hires World’s First NFT Curator In Crypto

The Big Gooey has been hired to support the NFT art world and build a truly vibrant Telosian Collection.

NEW YORK, US – News Direct – 5 April 2022 – To further the ambitions of growing Telos into the go to Layer 1 for NFT’s, Telos has hired the world’s first NFT curator in crypto, The Big Gooey (or TBG). TBG will lead efforts by supporting the art world and building a truly vibrant Telosian Collection on an NFT ecosystem that is powered by Byt and the tEVM. This next level NFT ecosystem is going to enhance the end user experience with ludicrous speeds, inexpensive fixed gas fees, zero congestion and absolutely no front running. NFT enthusiasts are destined to appreciate the enhanced user experience that is being powered by the world’s fastest EVM (tEVM).

NFT Ecosystem Synergy

  • TBG – World’s first NFT curator
  • Byt – World’s most successful NFT dApp
  • tEVM – World’s fastest (instant transactions), most inexpensive (fixed nano sized gas fees), congestion-less, truly decentralized, no front running, and most energy efficient EVM

The Big Gooey hails from the rain-soaked West Coast of Canada. Gooey has been working as a full-time artist in the crypto space. His art has appeared on multiple blockchains from Fast Food Frens (ETH) to Zillaz (SOL). His pixel art style is inspired by the super Nintendo golden era of games and early arcade classics.

TBG was one of the artists who brought NFTs to Telos, he’s woven himself into the fabric of the Telos ecosystem, and he builds a community wherever he goes. TBG won an adoring audience with Doug’s Donuts, and the upcoming TelosPunks is set to change the rules of what an NFT can be.

“I personally believe that nothing monumental can ever take shape without passion for the subject. In this case that subject is an NFT ecosystem and the passion for this subject is not only prevalent with TBG, but also absolutely contagious.”

Justin Giudici, Acting CEO at Telos Foundation

Telos is making a strategic push into the booming NFT market. TBG will help lead the community end of the new Telos and Byt partnership. The partnership is also planning a major competition to bring NFT creation to the masses. Telos plans on integrating NFTs as an integral component of the developer and application community. TBG will work with artists and creators to make Telos NFTs their first-choice media.

“There are bright things ahead,” said TBG, “I’m several collections this year. I’m committed to the idea that Telos’ ethos of equal and fair access to finance is the future of how working-class people can better generate wealth.”

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 April 2022 – Limited edition watch collectors and Dragon Ball Z fans alike can look forward to a new collaboration between watchmaker Solvil et Titus and the iconic manga and anime series Dragon Ball Z.

    This is the second pop culture-themed collaboration for Solvil et Titus, following the watchmaker’s first capsule collection featuring PEANUTS characters.

    Comprising 7 Saber Collection timepieces inspired by famous Dragon Ball Z characters, each watch is designed with clear references to key story elements and character traits. City Chain will be launching this new collection in Singapore for a limited time only, while stocks last.

    Redefining Solvil et Titus’ Saber Collection with an ode to friendship

    This limited-edition timepiece collection is Solvil et Titus’ first collaboration with Dragon Ball Z, and is a homage to the nostalgia and inspiration that made the Dragon Ball Z anime and manga a worldwide success.

    Belonging to Solvil et Titus’ wider Saber Collection, each watch has the Saber’s extra-thick faceted crystal surface with embossed dials, textured hour markers, a chronograph display, and a tough and durable leather strap with two-tone stitching.

    The Saber’s refined and masculine silhouette is further imbued with new colourways and minute details that echo key plot points in the Dragon Ball Z series – honouring the series’ universal themes of friendship, fortitude, and strength.

    Going “Super Saiyan” with a tribute to a timeless classic

    Whether you are a limited edition timepiece collector, a lifelong fan of Dragon Ball Z, or simply a manga and anime enthusiast who recognises the impact the series has left on popular culture, these keepsakes are a worthy addition to any watch collection.

    The characters featured include Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta, Frieza, Buu, Cell, and Shenron – major heroes and villains alike who featured in the long-running series that revolved around Goku’s battle to save and protect the world.

    The inspiration stemming from each character’s signature outfit is clear across the 7 watch designs, such as the blue case and dial and orange gasket of the “Goku” Limited Edition; the blue, yellow, and white palette of the “Vegeta” Limited Edition; the white and purple details of the “Frieza” Limited Edition; and the bronze, green, and sand tones of the “Shenron” Limited Edition.

    Fans of Dragon Ball Z will also be happy to spot smaller details alluding to key icons of the series, such as the hour markers of 1 to 7 featuring the stars of the seven-star Dragon Ball, and each character’s face and original Japanese name engraved on the metal caseback.

    Each watch comes with a certificate of authenticity, an exclusive watch box, a watch cloth, and a tote bag all with a distinct Dragon Ball Z design.

    Numbered box sets containing all 7 watches will also be available in a limited run, appealing to Dragon Ball Z fans who are eyeing to add these timepieces to their memorabilia collection.
