Anon NFTs Is Adding Liquidity Every Day for a Year, and Publishing the Receipts

On 1 October, Anon put more liquidity behind his Revenue Share NFTs on Liquid NFTs. It was day 53. He's committed to one boost every day for a year, which runs to August 2027, and every one goes up on his website, anonnfts.com, with the date, the collection and the dollar amount. Most get a short video too.

Anon runs Anon NFTs: ten collections on the Liquid marketplace, from Lake District photographs to Bitcoin-themed eyes and skulls to Grumpy Cat on St. Patrick's Day. I put six questions to him over Telegram that morning. His answers came back 35 minutes later.

Why he started

Most NFT founders are loudest the week before mint-out and hard to find the month after. Anon gave himself the opposite job.

"The idea was born mostly out of frustration, if I am honest. It's become the norm, and acceptable, for founders, certainly in the NFT space, to stop working for holders after collections have been minted out."

He thinks that habit costs everyone, including people who haven't bought a thing yet. "I feel there needs to be a mindset shift in the NFT industry to really drive change and establish trust," he said, "not just for the people in the space already but people who may be sat on the fence looking to join in."

So he made the work public. "I wanted to show people in and out of the space that there are founders out there that are willing to work and put the time in, and there's proof of work to showcase that." His site calls the log exactly that, Proof of Work. The page opens: "We don't sell a roadmap. We publish a record."

How the revenue share NFTs work

"The revenue share NFTs are the heart of everything Anon does," he said. "Every collection flows through the revenue share NFTs."

There are 100 of them, on Polygon, at $250 each, and his site showed 40 minted on 2 October. His other collections keep feeding them. His Grumpy Cat listing on Liquid, for one, sends 25% of his creator earnings into the Revenue Share NFTs, and most of the daily boosts land there too. Every action across his collections, as he put it, "benefits the Rev share NFTs with liquidity, cash injections that boost the tangible floor." Anon says some have already gone from $125 of liquidity at mint to $240.

On Liquid, liquidity is the money locked behind each NFT, held in FUSD, the token Liquid runs on. A holder can redeem an NFT, which burns it and pays out its share of that money, less Liquid's fees. That's the floor Anon is talking about. His revenue share is paid as liquidity, so it adds to the backing every holder in the collection shares. Our guide to how Liquid works covers redeeming in full.

The number he's proudest of

I asked which numbers he was proudest of. "You would expect total liquidity added," he said, "but my proudest number is that I have four collections that have more liquidity than the initial mint price."

His Proof of Work page counts those four. His collections page puts dollars on two of them. Anon Skulls minted at $40 and lists $46.20 of liquidity. Anon Eyes minted at $25 and lists $29.55. And the total he didn't lead with stood at $5,263.72 of liquidity added by 2 October, counting donations from Liquid's first version.

The collections sell, too. Anon NFTs won a full-page ad in Issue 14 of Crypto Magazine. Liquid's team announced on 1 July that his collections had brought in the most revenue on the platform between its 22 May relaunch and the end of June, and the ad was the prize. "I'll be honest, a little bit of shock followed by massive jubilation," he said. "It's the first time ANON has been featured and I don't think it will be the last."

Late to NFTs, then Liquid

He came to NFTs late, and what he saw put him off. "I missed the first wave of NFTs, as I recognised I was late to the party. I sat and I watched the value fade, and fade quickly. I realised the infrastructure was broken, then turned my back."

"It wasn't until I was made aware of Liquid NFT Marketplace that I really sat up and paid attention," he said. What held him was the design. "The marketplace works for all, not just the few. Holders and founders have protection, and every action on Liquid benefits everyone. I thought initially it was too good to be true, but thought I would dive in, and the proof is in the pudding."

What's next

He's watching Liquid Apes, the 10,000-ape Ethereum collection whose whitelist closes on 16 October. He says it's drawing a lot of attention, and he's quick to add it's nothing to do with him. His own Anon Apes are a separate, 250-piece collection on BESC.

On his own plans he gave away one line. "For Anon, there's a collection coming, and that's all I can say. Paying attention is key."
