UniArt’s impossible art formula gallery bring bottom-up NFT appreciation with vote mining on 30th Sep

Preamble

Recently, “Loot” has been spreading virally throughout the crypto community. Industry key opinion leaders (KOLs), founders of quality projects, and investment institutions all pay close attention to the emerging “bottom-up” concept, and more community members are excited about it.

Despite the term bottom-up only recently coming into the limelight, in essence, the philosophy may be at the root of the entire crypto economy. Bitcoin, for example, breaks the rules of centralized government-issued fiat currency by enabling anyone that follows its PoW consensus algorithm to produce a new currency. On the other hand, Ether allows developers to build arbitrary dApps on top of it without permission, and its prosperity hinges on the frequency of this.

These two patriarchs of the crypto economy have opened up a bottom-up path outside the centralized internet. The bottom here can be anyone. The top is no longer governments or corporations but now code, algorithms, data, and consensus mechanisms. Loot is the first bottom-up non-fungible token (NFT), possessing similar intrinsic characteristics at the root of its explosion.

The most widespread application of NFT is currently in the art sector. Crypto community practitioners are working to bring NFT into the traditional art marketplace. To accomplish this, NFT must have general acceptance and market consensus, not just within a niche group of artists and appreciators. Take the most common financial application of collateralized lending, for example; a starving artist, globally unknown pledges his minted NFT to you, the potential lender. They claim it is worth US$10,000 and want to borrow against this collateralized value. Naturally, you are hesitant, unsure of its market value, and even if a current buyer is willing to purchase it at that price, you are still uncertain about its future value. In short, there is not enough market consensus for that NFT. However, let’s use CryptoPunk or BAYC as collateral in this example. Results would be the opposite because each of these digital assets already has widespread market consensus, having been classified as antiques in the NFT community. Therefore, the fair market valuation of NFT is critical to achieving market consensus in the financial sector. Exploring a suitable value solution for NFT is beneficial in a financial application, which opens up various other possibilities for NFT, leading to the further development of the whole crypto community.

UniArts aims to uncover NFT fair market valuation through its customized bottom-up Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) economic model, aspiring decentralized incubation of creators and their works. In this paper, the core concept of UniArts will be comprehensively explained using this bottom-up concept as the source idea.

Bottom-up NFT Fair Market Valuation

The term bottom-up can be understood differently in different contexts; building on top of a foundation is not a required characteristic. In the context of UniArts, bottom (in a non-pejorative sense) can be understood as what people define together and top as the fair value of NFT. This bottom-up approach is contrasted with more traditional top-down valuation, which was determined mainly by centralized auction houses or prominent collectors. Less renowned artists rarely gained any attention, and in the rare chance they did, their work would often be considered nearly worthless. Such an approach does nothing to showcase potentially exceptional pieces for the mere reason they are unknown, and they remain misunderstood by the public.

In the UniArts network, $UART holders are deemed “nominators,” pledging their tokens as “votes” for an NFT they admire. The more votes an NFT receives, the more people approve of it, and the higher the consensus level. When people are required to invest in their decisions, they become much more selective. Since there is value in $UART, the votes that an NFT receives indicate its fair market value. In the early stages of UniArts’ development, the small user base may not be sufficient to tie the word fair to an NFTs value, but as the network expands, it will become more and more convincing. This process can be referred to as the “flywheel effect.”

Appreciate to Earn

“Appreciate To Earn” is a new concept and a subset of “Play To Earn,” in that merely appreciating an NFT is akin to the process of playing. Axie Infinity, a chain game that has been popular in the crypto community for a while now, relied on this “Play To Earn” concept as the fuel to expand its user base. From this vetted example, we know that it is a viable business model.

UniArt’s Nominators pledge $UART and select an NFT they appreciate to earn more $UART, including a base pledge bonus and a block bonus for top-ranked NFTs. In this process, the word appreciate corresponds to the nominator, and the word earn corresponds to the earned $UART. In Axie Infinity, players buy a pet “Axie” as an entry ticket to the game and earn revenue in-game from this Axie. In UniArts, $UART is the entry ticket into the network.

Play to Earn can be viewed as a modern concept to attract new users. Traditional game companies pay third-party advertising companies to attract new users, but these users do not receive any income. Blockchain games use tokens to incentivize new users, which is a disguised way of attracting traffic; an alternative form of advertising, where the fees paid to advertising companies are instead attributed to the user. If this alternative form of advertising is integrated into a chain game’s economic model, one can only expect explosive organic user growth. Similarly, the Appreciate to Earn concept will cause natural growth of UniArt’s user base, eventually to the point where fair valuation is achieved.  

Multi-Chain NFT Gallery “Impossible Art Formula”

UniArts is native to Polkadot, and one of its strategic plans is to spread the NFT gallery to more popular blockchains, the first stop being Polygon. Mechanically, the gallery will be similar to the NPoS economic model but not identical.

  • Six NFTs will be presented in each issuance, and users can pledge $UART or $WETH to vote on their favorite NFT.
  • There are a total of 3 revenue pools, including a casting pool, a general pool, and a bonus pool. The bonus pool added to the gallery is unique in comparison to the NPoS model mentioned above. The casting pool is a pool in which $UART is minted into an NFT based on the percentage of votes received by the NFT. The general pool allocates rewards based on the proportion of user votes to the total number of votes in the corresponding NFT.
  • At the end of each voting period, NFT owners have the option to participate in the next three-day auction. The bonus pool is allocated to the corresponding NFT according to the ratio of the price sold in the auction to the sum of all prices traded in the auction for that period. This pool is then allocated to users that voted in the general pool, as mentioned in (2).
  • Specific details can be found in the following chart:

UARTs tokens are capped at 200 million, with 10% held by the team and released after 3 years, 12% by early stage investors, 10% by the treasury, and the rest by NFT vote mining, “Appreciate To Earn”.

“Impossible Art Formula” demonstrates the lack of a perfect solution in art valuation as everyone has their unique preferences. Let’s solve this by using $UART to appoint the “Hamlet” we fancy.

Concluding Remarks

UniArts has customized the NPoS economic model for NFT with an Appreciate To Earn mechanism based on the bottom-up source concept, which helps NFT discover its fair value. This value discovery fills an essential gap in applying NFT to traditional art and financial systems, paving a new path in crypto circles.

The impossible art formula is accessible now and will be online on 30th Sep.

IMBUED to Launch Kickstarter for Human-Centred MetaMuseum Platform

Published

on

May 15, 2026

By

Italy, 15th May 2026 — IMBUED, a university spin-off from La Sapienza University of Rome, launched a Kickstarter campaign on 12 May 2026 to support the development of its MetaMuseum platform, a digital environment designed to facilitate participatory approaches to art and creative practice.

The campaign will run until 26 June 2026 with a funding target of GBP 65,000.

IMBUED is positioned as a human-centred platform that enables users to engage with artworks beyond passive viewing. The MetaMuseum integrates elements of exhibition space, creative tools, and community interaction, allowing participants to explore, interpret, and produce digital works. The platform is being designed to eventually integrate emotion-aware AI tools that support collaborative creativity and artistic exploration. Helping users reinterpret and evolve artworks in ways that reflect both creative intent and emotional context, without reducing the experience to purely automated generation.

The project is informed by the concept of the “Beholder’s Share,” whereby the viewer contributes to the meaning of an artwork. Within the platform, user interpretations may generate new outputs referred to as Certified Digital Artworks (CDAs), which can be registered via an integrated blockchain-based system.

A representative of IMBUED stated:
“The project is based on the principle ‘I Art Therefore I Am’, reflecting the view that creative expression is a universal capability. With ‘Let’s Make Art Happen’ as a guiding ethos, we are building a space where technology—including AI—supports human creativity rather than replacing it. The Kickstarter campaign is intended to support early access and community participation in the platform’s development.”

The initiative is developed through a multidisciplinary framework spanning neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and computer science, in collaboration with La Sapienza University of Rome. This foundation also informs IMBUED’s exploration of emotion-aware AI—systems designed to better understand how users experience and respond to creative work, rather than simply generating outputs on demand. The platform will contribute to ongoing research related to creativity and human perception.

Campaign Details:

· Launch Date: 9 May 2026
· End Date: 24 June 2026
· Funding Target: GBP 65,000

Indicative Stretch Objectives:

· GBP 200,000 – Android platform development
· GBP 300,000 – NFT and blockchain marketplace functionality
· GBP 500,000 – Advanced creative editor with expanded AI-assisted tools
· GBP 1,000,000 – Expansion into the United States and EMEA markets

The platform operates under the principle “0% Engagement — 100% Inspiration,” reflecting a design approach focused on creative interaction rather than maximising user retention metrics. AI within IMBUED is positioned as an enabling layer—enhancing exploration, interpretation, and collaboration—while keeping the human experience at the center.

About IMBUED

IMBUED is a digital art platform developed as a spin-off from La Sapienza University of Rome. The project brings together artistic practice, scientific research, and digital technologies—including emotion-aware AI—to support participatory models of creativity and more intuitive human–machine interaction.

Fortress Refocuses Agency Exclusively on Law Firm Clients, Drawing on Founder’s Decade-Plus in Legal Marketing

SEO and AI digital marketing agency returns to its legal industry roots under Founder & CEO Gerrid Smith

United States, 15th May 2026 — Fortress, an SEO and AI digital marketing agency, today announced that it is now accepting new clients exclusively from the legal industry. The shift reflects rising demand from law firms and the deep legal-vertical expertise of the agency’s leadership team. Existing non-legal clients will continue to be served without disruption.

Founder and CEO Gerrid Smith brings more than 20 years of digital marketing experience and over 12 years working specifically with law firms. He previously founded Black Fin, a well-known legal marketing agency, which he sold in 2020. Six years later, sustained demand from attorneys seeking results-driven SEO and digital strategy has drawn Smith and his team back to the vertical they know best.

“I built Fortress into a strong agency across multiple industries, and the legal work kept finding us along the way,” said Gerrid Smith, Founder and CEO of Fortress. “The timing is right to lean back in. Law firms want strategic, measurable marketing, and that’s exactly the work our team has spent more than a decade mastering. Refocusing Fortress on the legal industry lets us go all in on what we do best.”

Smith is joined by Lisa Carter, VP at Fortress, who worked alongside him at Black Fin before its sale. Together, they have spent more than a decade refining what works for law firm marketing, from local SEO and AI-driven search optimization to content strategy, technical audits, and link building tailored to competitive practice areas.

“Most agencies treat law firms like any other local business with a bigger budget,” Smith added. “That’s how firms end up with compliance violations, wasted ad spend, and rankings that never materialize. Legal marketing has its own rules, its own search behavior, and its own competitive dynamics. Firms deserve a team that has lived inside those realities, not one figuring it out on their dime.”

Fortress has produced results for firms across personal injury, criminal defense, family law, and estate planning practices. While Fortress does not publicly share its client list, the team is available to discuss specific case results and methodologies during consultations.

About Fortress 
Fortress is an SEO and AI digital marketing agency now focused exclusively on serving law firms. Led by Founder and CEO Gerrid Smith, the team combines over a decade of dedicated legal marketing experience with a results-first approach to SEO, content, and online visibility.
