GRAFFITI KINGS: WEB3 PARTNERSHIPS

What counts as evidence of a partnership

This page traces published collaboration announcements connected to Graffiti Kings, Darren Cullen / SER and the later WAX/NFT project. A partner's own announcement is evidence that a partnership, event or grant was publicly identified. It is not automatically proof that every future mint, promised game, giveaway or financial reward launched, remained operational or reached a specific number of users.

2021: SYNC Network's Graffiti Kings partnership and Decentraland event

On 29 March 2021, SYNC Network's own publication announced a Graffiti Kings partnership. On 12 April 2021 the same publisher advertised an NFT exposition in Decentraland with Graffiti Kings for that month. The dated posts are recorded in the author's publication index. As partner-authored marketing, the notices support an announcement but not independent verification of every delivered NFT or exhibit.

These 2021 SYNC announcements are not the same event as the Graffiti Queens opening on 3 April 2021 or the separate Decentraland Art Week closing programme later that year. See the exhibition history for the distinction.

2022: independent collaborators describe Graffiti Kings' Web3 gameplay

Artist and collaborator MuensterVision / Ian Harrison wrote a February 16, 2022 account of GraffPUNKS MidEvil Hero Arena describing random NFT level awards, additional token prizes, planned blends and further utility. A May 10, 2022 post described the project's LFGK token, DeFi liquidity experiments and the perceived role of the community. These are valuable dated, first-hand project descriptions rather than an independent audit of token economics or final software delivery.

The accounts link the gaming story to the collection registry. Do not treat a historical token strategy as a recommendation to trade, stake or deposit assets today.

August 2022: Alien Worlds' grant applicant announcement

24 August 2022: Alien Worlds published its Galactic Hubs Season 1 applicants and identified Ian Harrison and Darren Cullen as the team for a Gamified Fan Fiction proposal involving the Graffiti Kings and Alien Worlds universes. The description included an intended 10,000 Alien Worlds-themed NFT battle-deck cards for HODL Warriors.

The August article listed a requested sum of 100,000 TLM. A requested grant amount should not be reworded as a confirmed payment. The same announcement described a later evaluation process.

November 2022: Alien Worlds confirms grant-recipient listing

23 November 2022: The official Alien Worlds grant-recipient article listed HODL Warriors — Gamified Fan Fiction at the Development tier and named Ian Harrison and Darren Cullen as grantees. It connected the proposed game with Graffiti Kings, Alien Worlds and 10,000 planned battle-deck NFT cards. This is stronger independent documentation than a self-promotional pitch because the programme organiser published the recipient listing.

Being named a recipient does not, on its own, establish the exact amount disbursed to this team, whether 10,000 cards were minted, whether a completed game shipped or whether it is still maintained. Those later outcomes need separate contemporaneous release, transaction or code records.

Separate: Graffiti Queens' 2022 second festival

The second annual Graffiti Queens NFT Festival (April 2022) was independently reported across primarily Cryptovoxels venues with curator Crypto Yuna. It is a separate art programme, not an Alien Worlds grant, SYNC Network exhibition or specific WAX collection. Read the dedicated 2022 festival archive.
