Welcome to this week’s issue of The Baking Sheet!
As we’re about to enter the new Hangzhou era, the highly anticipated Art Basel event in Miami is approaching. Dozens of speakers are lined up to discuss their journey through NFTs and Tezos, for that matter.
This week’s issue will focus on that event and what to look out for.
Tezos x Art Basel Miami
It should be no surprise that Tezos is beginning to become highly resonated and ingrained within today’s NFT movement. As this new digital frontier has begun to evolve, there’s no greater platform than one that is quite literally designed to evolve alongside it.
Hangzhou, the latest Tezos protocol upgrade has been accepted by the Tezos community and will activate at the end of cycle 427, on block 1,916,929, at approximately 16:20:22 UTC on December 3rd, 2021.
Art Basel Miami is slated to take place December 2-4, with a long list of speaker lineups from artists, creators, and collectors across the globe using Tezos. You’ll even be able to tune in to see it live!
Attendees will be able to mint an AI generative self-portrait which they can mint as a takeaway NFT.
A few highlights of guests are as follows:
Mumu the Stan
Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park/Fort Minor)
Kevin Abosch
George Goodwin (OMGiDrawedit)
Mario Klingemann (Quasimondo)
And many more
So, we’re actually going to see a few great things happen over Art Basel week. Apart from all the artists and creators alike showcasing their work and Tezos, it will coincide with the latest Tezos upgrade getting activated.
This unique feature exclusive to Tezos allows the core protocol to implement the latest and greatest feature sets and activate them autonomously with community consensus. Hangzhou will embark on the 8th time the Tezos protocol has implemented a new upgrade without causing a network fork.
Be sure to tune in for Art Basel and if you’re in attendance, stop by and try a “sip et nunc”!

The NFT industry is a reliable source of irritation for many crypto enthusiasts. Some don’t understand why a mash of pixels costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Others are angry because they found out about the mash well after traders got their hands on it.
