When Chrysalism was experiencing the beginning of the NFT world meltdown, there was one person who stepped up for the community and that was our founder @MattVegh, just like he stepped up for 17 other legacy projects, with his own funds and completed and built out their previously promised roadmaps, again, with no funds from those communities. His own. No other person in all of Web3 has even come close to rescuing 18 Legacy Collections. There are a few people who have rescued one or two. But no one else, even the big, revered founders of the so-called Blue Chips which have absolutely cratered the entire space with catastrophic asset value losses for their holders. Very unfortunately, the vast majority of those communities were unappreciative and turned tail, 90+% of them, not just fading quietly into the ether, but actively trying their best to sabotage the Confluence. The real story though is that those remaining 8-10% were blessed with rewards, a 500+ game Web3 Gaming Metaverse which still lives today after 3 years, with no cash burn and no debt, across PC, mobile and VR with portability of currencies, inventory and scoreboards. Some of those top holders who stayed, received and continue to receive amazing physical artwork, like this Chrysalism piece, which will be in @ArtStrA_ and @MattVegh's Lunar New Year Exhibition in Chengdu and then shipped to the holder in the States. A minimum value of $5k USD to a holder that was basically facing his vaporpeg assets going to zero. Hundreds of physical works of art as rewards to holders who would have otherwise seen no value for their NFT's. We built properly, backing our projects with the best in Web3 Gaming and RWA rewards like no other. It's time the industry recognizes true builders who did not gouge or slaughter their holders. Credit where credit is due. These beautiful heirloom works of art will stand for hundreds of years. Your vapor-monkey? A poop NFT from a grifter? Not so much.

Such as Amy, part of the massive new women-led collector demographic in China where Art Strategy's founder and artist @MattVegh has been based for 25 years and where his studio gallery is located. Amy was an early collector and managed an incredible early acquisition.

A Celebration of Dragons was the 1000th original work of art sold by our artist/founder @MattVegh earlier in 2025 and shipped to a collector in Norway. A milestone piece in the artist's trajectory, this 30x30cm oil, metallic acrylic and sand piece is valued at over 5k USD.
