Welcome to State of SEEN the weekly newsletter about all things happening in the SEEN ecosystem.
Product
Dev team has been busy polishing up the v2 website, as well as working on the code that will allow us to randomize both the upcoming Carter and Shillus drops.
Auction Recap
This week we were proud to finally reveal the first exclusive drops of Carter’s ‘The Blockchain Series’ (TBS). His collectible card set merges augmented reality with art, an experience that truly feels like it’s from the future.
These cards capture the most important and influential people in the crypto space that have contributed towards its mass adoption and growth. During this weeks initial three auctions we have featured Vitalik Buterin, Andre Cronje and Sergey Nazarov. Averaging around 2 ETH, the three cards were subject to a thrilling bidding war and sold for 6.75 ETH in total.
Drop Preview
Carter TBS Genesis Edition
After Carter’s successful initial drop, we will be featuring a the remaining 17 cards of the TBS Genesis series.
Instead of a 1/1 auction, the remaining 17 cards will be up for sale in a randomized edition at a fix price of 0.5 ETH. After the entire edition is sold out, buyers will be randomly assigned one of the 17 cards for each item they purchase.

Ed Bassmaster
This week SEEN HAUS will have an exclusive drop in collaboration with Ed Bassmaster! If you’ve opened the internet, you’ve probably seen him. Or maybe you’re one of his 2.5 million YouTube subscribers.
YouTube sensation Bassmaster has made a name (and a living) for himself by pulling pranks on unsuspecting victims — like dressing up as a zombie and going through a fast-food drive-through — and creating characters like Teste, Mumbles, and a CIA agent who conducts undercover operations at Kmart. If the bells aren’t ringing, you might know him better as the ‘Psssh Guy’, Bassmaster’s alter ego Chip Diamond.
His exclusive and first ever NFT drop will be a limited 40/40 edition. Collectors and fans of his NFT will be entered into a raffle which will include a 1/1 physical edition and a customized video message from no one else but the legendary Chip Diamond himself!
Date: Thursday, May 6th
Time: 3PM EST
