FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY — May 1, 2025 — Meta Betties, the women-led performance art collective pushing boundaries at the intersection of blockchain and embodiment, is launching its debut NFT collection on Solana this June. As the first-ever crypto-native performance art storytelling collectible, Meta Betties is less a static collection and more a living theater onchain—a cultural system where tokens evolve through narrative, movement, and media.
Each NFT in the 2,600-piece collection is a character in an unfolding neo-expressionist story, performed across a series of conceptual short films. These weekly films are not marketing content—they are art. Shot with real Meta Betties performers, each film is bound to metadata and choreographed around distinct traits. The result is a dynamic feedback loop between collector, character, and performance.
In this model, blockchain becomes more than provenance—it becomes medium. Ownership confers access, influence, and ultimately, presence inside the work itself. The NFT is not just a pass—it’s a participatory role in a tokenized ritual of femininity, subversion, and cultural critique.
“When I first encountered blockchain, I didn’t see it as a tech play—I saw it as a stage. It gave me the tools to not just document performance, but to distribute presence, to let the work exist beyond space and time, and to make that experience ownable.” — Blakelee Pieroni, co-founder, multidisciplinary artist and curator
At the heart of the Meta Betties framework is a performance-based token logic. Traits that appear in the weekly performances trigger community XP rewards, enable gamified rankings among holders, and unlock 1/1 mints tied directly to the season’s most culturally resonant scenes. The rarest token class—100 exclusive “Nude” tokens—can only be acquired by assembling full thematic sets, reinforcing the project’s core idea: curation is an act of authorship.
Meta Betties isn’t just innovating on NFT mechanics—it’s creating a new grammar of digital performance. In an ecosystem often defined by speculation or static PFPs, this project asks: what if NFTs weren’t the product, but the stage?
With a minimalist total supply and a narrative arc structured like a cinematic season, the collection invites serious collectors, Web3 tastemakers, and media to engage not just with art, but with a system of cultural play. As IRL performances, digital theater drops, and collector mechanics unfold over time, Meta Betties offers an entirely new approach to storytelling onchain—one where presence is provable, performance is programmable, and the audience is written into the script.

“My practice has always lived in the space between forms. I use movement, media, and now smart contracts to build worlds that collectors can step into. Each NFT is a character, but also a doorway.” — Blakelee Pieroni
The first chapter begins this June on Solana. Early access for insider collectors is now live through curated pre-sale Sets designed for those ready to be written into the meta.
A Reimagining of the Crypto Art Collectible:
Meta Betties is the first project to tokenize an evolving catalog of conceptual short films—released weekly and matched to specific NFT metadata traits.
Gamified Art = Built-In Demand Drivers:
Each NFT’s traits link directly to themes used in the collective’s films. Holders earn community XP when their traits appear in the performances, unlocking 1/1 rewards and seasonal airdrops.
