The STONE Token Pool Is… On Hold (For Now)

A woman in a long black and gold embroidered robe stands on a rocky beach beside a black cat. A large pocket watch rests on the rocks, and a surreal black-and-white checkerboard sky stretches overhead. Birds and a single red balloon appear against the background, blending natural and dreamlike elements.

So here’s the deal.

I’ve been working for weeks to get the STONE token fully tradable. Liquidity pool, fair price, collector-friendly. You know — the real stuff. I want folks who support my art to actually use the token. Trade it. Hold it. Use it for perks. Redeem it for weird things.

And I almost had it. The token is real. The contracts are live. But…

Polygon (the blockchain we’re using) is in the middle of this awkward rebrand. They’re switching from “MATIC” to a new token called “POL.” Sounds simple, right? Nope.

Turns out, everything still requires MATIC for gas. But the apps — like Uniswap — keep pushing POL instead. The result? Constant errors. Can’t swap. Can’t build the liquidity pool. Can’t even pay to fix it unless you already have MATIC… which is surprisingly hard to get unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

So for now?

I’m keeping the STONE token safely tucked away in my personal wallet — no pool, no market price, no chaos. Just calm. Controlled. Waiting.

But it’s not over.

The moment the ecosystem gets its act together — or the moment I get my hands on some good old-fashioned MATIC — the STONE economy will go live. You’ll be able to grab STONE, use it to unlock stuff, and take part in a new kind of collector-powered system I’ve been dreaming about for months.

Want to be part of the early test group?
Shoot me a message. If you’re holding STONE (or want to), I’ll make sure you’re on the inside when the gates finally open.

Until then, thanks for your patience. I’ll keep building.
