SHIPWRECKED #11 - Rhynotic and Toni Marinara

Collection

We Do A Little

Description

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Toni Marinara and Rhynotic, two of the most under the radar chad art patrons in the digital art space right now. Rhynotic is a gigabrain dev helping build out PREMINT which is the best allowlist platform in town. Toni is a badass lawyer who is representing and championing the culture of code with ArtXCode. This episode is jam packed with art vibes. We dive into how we fell in love with the art, the differences between patrons and collectors and how to onboard more patrons, the importance of art history, balancing breadth vs. depth when it comes to connections, and so much more. Season Four is officially powered by Arbitrum and our content will be redistributed across Rug Radio and Decrypt’s platforms. Andy and I have been massive fans of Arbitrum since they launched, and both of us invested in Offchain Labs Series B back in 2021. This is a full circle moment for us and we couldn’t be happier to partner with Arbitrum for this season.
