PEOPLE POWERED POSITIVITY: J.P. MoreGainz Tops Del Mundos’ First 3ditions Auction With A 0.5 ETH Winning Bid!

People Powered Positivity has a nice ring to it, and for some Del Mundos, now a necklace too.

Earlier this week, Del Mundos kicked off its new 3Ditions auction protocol with its Silver Spoon drop, featuring 100 “3” silver pendants inspired by Ray Del Mundo’s iconic JewelleRay chain.

In just 24 hours, the project raised 3.5 ETH, with proceeds set to go toward a conservation effort of holders’ choice.

 

A big chunk of that 3.5 ETH came from the auction’s top bidder, CryptoPunk holder and collector J.P. MoreGainz, who didn’t just walk away with a chain, he secured the very first one ever made for .5 Eth!

“I had the high bid on this,” he tweeted. “Ended up being a bit overkill but at the end of the day this auction raised around $10,000 for charity so I'm happy with my contribution. People powered positivity!!!”

 

 

For J.P., the decision to bid big wasn’t about winning or being first, it was about what Del Mundos represents.

“The first thing that struck me about Del Mundos was the analogue nature of the collection. Each piece was painstakingly handmade and photographed to produce the final product… This is very unique among NFT PFPs, and the quality is top notch. I did some modeling when I studied theatrical design in college, so I know how difficult it is to achieve that level of detail.”

Beyond the art, J.P. said the project’s focus on sustainability and making the world a better place really resonates with him.

“In a world where our environment is becoming more and more fragile, knowing that royalty and partnership money will go to a good cause makes the whole project more meaningful,” he said.

Tonight, J.P. holds 16 of the rarest Del Mundos in the world, and he’s excited to see what the project can accomplish alongside its community, which he says is one of the best in Web3.

“Del Mundos has one of the most active communities in the space right now, and there is constant activity and engagement,” he said. “The team made something really special, and collectors have been creating fantastic content around it: art, music, video, memes, merch and more. I would encourage everyone to check out our discord server -- there are no gated holders-only channels, so everyone who joins will be able to get the full experience.”
