The Baking Sheet - Issue #85

New Partnerships, ATH for Contract Calls, and the tremendous courage of a Tezos community member

Welcome to this week's issue of The Baking Sheet! Another big partnership announced with one of the most prominent music groups in the industries -- Let's dive in!

Built on Tezos: Warner Music Group x OneOf

OneOf has formed a preferred partnership with Warner Music Group that will see the company create exclusive NFTs for a range of artists across WMG’s catalog of music.

A Green Web3 company, OneOf’s NFT platform creates NFTs that are significantly times more energy efficient than its competitors and are specifically designed with the music community in mind, offering NFTs from collectible and generative PFPs, to music royalties and experiences, according to the announcement.

In December, a previously unreleased recording made when Whitney Houston was 17 years old was sold in a 24-hour auction on the OneOf NFT platform. The winning bid was for $1 million, the highest priced NFT auction item on the Tezos (XTZ) blockchain.

“Web3 is a massive leap forward in technology: it will expand the scale and scope of both human and machine interactions far beyond what we can imagine today,” said WMG EVP Oana Ruxandra. “Partnering with OneOf, a leader in the emerging technology space of Web3 and NFTs, gives our artists an edge in more authentically building one-to-one relationships with their fans and winning in the new Web3 economy. We’re excited to see what’s possible.”

Before the Ithaca protocol proposal, token movements and associated balance updates could be difficult to follow in the Octez source code for developers and maintainers. For example, crediting or debiting a contract, or creating the corresponding balance updates, often happened at distant locations in the code, with a sometimes non-trivial control flow in between those operations.

Tezos Creators - Tez Dozen

Tez Dozen are 3360 algorithmically generated NFTs on the Tezos blockchain and are divided into 12 teams of different sizes. Each team member (TDTM; Tez Dozen Team Member) will act as your avatar and your membership certificate for entering an evolving new world of peace and beauty known as the DoZenVerse. Along the roadmap, holders of TDTM are destined to earn DAO tokens incrementally and automatically.

The Story so far..

The year is 2025, where the most extensive financial collapse in history has just occurred. Thousands of primates are in debt due to extraordinarily high leverage, causing them to flock to fast-food restaurants and gas stations. Twitter is flooded with odd and eccentric job advertisements, and Discord is constantly spammed by candlestick charts. The beauty of art and technology has been forgotten. Humans and apes are depleted of their physical strength. Everyone's brains are drained of liveliness, and frugality is valued.

An organization of twelve teams called “Tez Dozen” suddenly appears on the Tezos and is deployed into the world. They gradually learn new tokenomics and together create an artistic and serene world, the DoZenVerse.
