Welcome to Q3! Bensi Box has been hard at work since our launch of The Face (1966) by Pablo Picasso back in February. Since then, we have completed the Red Mahakala (1880) launch giving away over 4400 pieces of the tokenized real world artwork for free to the community. Bensi Box has also acquired 15 additional RWArtworks for the collection. We have made numerous partnerships including Hefe and we even added some fun new DeFi integrations like Crocodile Finance. Celebrating the successes is fun, but the future of Bensi Box awaits. Our future is centered around 3 main pillars:
Progress the decentralization of Bensi Box
Build key infrastructure for our fractionalized NFT collections and BENSI holders
Tokenize and fractionalize more RWArtworks by streamlining & gamifying the minting process
Moats v2
The Moats from FortiFi is the infrastructure we use to manage our Royalty Revenue sharing. This involves stacking, locking, and/or burning your BENSI tokens to earn a share of all AVAX royalties earned from The Face (1966) and the Red Mahakala (1880) trading on secondary markets. The v2 Moat will enable us to reward Moat participants with other tokens besides just WAVAX. v2 Moats brings the flexibility of new reward tokens being added in the future.
The Bensi Moat v2 will go live next week with migration opening from the existing Bensi Moat. All fees will be turned off for the migration and burned tokens will automatically migrate to the new moat.
🗞️ Introducing the Bensi Box dApp
We’re proud to announce the announcement of the Bensi Box App. This is a central hub for all things Bensi, designed to power a decentralized ecosystem of fractionalized RWArtworks, trading, and community engagement. From swapping assets to minting domains, the Bensi Box App brings together key tools for our collectors and community.
Bensi Swap – Create and Accept Deals, On Your Terms
Bensi Swap is an upcoming over-the-counter (OTC) style trading platform that gives users the flexibility to create customized deals involving up to 20 assets per offer. Trade a mix of ERC20 tokens, ERC314s, ERC721 NFTs, and ERC1155 collectibles in a single transaction — all without relying on traditional order books or centralized intermediaries.
You can set your deal to be private, allowing only one designated wallet to accept it, or you can make it public, listing it on a live timeline for anyone to see and accept if they meet your defined swap criteria.
All fees for creating and accepting deals are denominated in AVAX, and 100% of those fees are used to buy back BENSI from the open market. Expect fees to be very low, as our goal is to make Bensi Swap more of a public good. Coming soon!
Bensi Launch + Artdrop Season 1 – Coming Soon
Bensi Launch is an upcoming platform designed to make minting RWArtworks a fun and rewarding experience. Bensi Launch ties fractionalized NFTs to the $BENSI token, enabling us to launch tokenized artworks with ease. Bensi Launch utilizes bonding curves to create a more engaging and dynamic minting experience.
Artdrop by Bensi Launch is a seasons-based approach to launching fine art. Each season will have it’s own leaderboard and points system based on minting the fractionalized RWArtworks. Artdrop Season 1 will feature 7 tokenized and fractionalized artworks.
Each collection in Season 1 will feature:
A fixed collection size
A points system based on 5 tiers of rarity
Mints that begin at 10,000 BENSI and increase in price as supply is minted
This is just the beginning of a longer-term initiative to bring more tokenized and fractionalized RWArtworks onchain & reward Bensi community members. Coming soon!
.bensi Domains – Your Web3 Identity
.bensi Domains will be integrated and mintable directly through the Bensi Box app. These personalized names serve as your public identity across the ecosystem, including visibility on platforms like The Moat. Future integrations and uses for the bensi domains are on the horizon as well.
.bensi Domains can currently be minted on Zephyr for 9999 $BENSI - https://zephyr.jankystudios.xyz/
P.S. All $BENSI spent on .bensi domains is burned.
Wen Banksy?
After some careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision not to move forward with the release of the Dismaland Rat (2015) by Banksy and have postponed it indefinitely. This collection was something we were genuinely excited about releasing, and we know many of you were looking forward to it as well. While it's always tough to change course, we believe this shift allows us to focus our energy on what’s ahead — including 15 incredible new artworks from a diverse group of emerging and established artists, as well as the upcoming launches of Bensi Swap and Bensi Launch. These next steps mark a big evolution for our platform, and we’re fully committed to bringing you meaningful, innovative releases in the weeks to come.
Thank you for being part of the journey. As we continue to build and expand the Bensi ecosystem, your support, feedback, and participation remain at the core of everything we do. Bensi Box is more than just a platform. It’s a growing community of creators, collectors, and innovators redefining how art and value move in Web3. Whether you're collecting tokenized and fractionalized art, staking BENSI, or simply watching things unfold, we’re grateful to have you with us.
Thank you for being a part of this movement and stay tuned. The future of Bensi Box is just getting started.
