  • The Stoneworks Manifesto: Building a Living Art Economy

    Welcome to Stoneworks — a creator-led, community-powered ecosystem where art, technology, and imagination meet.

    This is more than a token. It’s a shared experiment in building something lasting, beautiful, and alive.

    Every piece of art I create — every glitch, cat, clock, and checkerboard spiral — is part of a growing world. And Stoneworks is the foundation that holds it all together. It connects collectors, supporters, and dreamers into a single creative network, where value is built by participation, not permission.

    The Vision:

    Stoneworks exists to empower my supporters to become co-builders of this world. By holding and using the Stoneworks token, you’re not just collecting art — you’re investing in the growth of a creative movement.

    The Promise:

    • To reward loyalty with genuine utility — digital art drops, physical prints, and behind-the-scenes access.
    • To keep the token economy transparent, fair, and built on real artistic value.
    • To grow together — every milestone shared, every drop meaningful, every reward earned.

    The Stoneworks token will live on the Access Protocol (ACS) / Solana blockchain, designed for sustainability, creativity, and long-term community growth.

    This is our foundation. This is how we build something real.

    Art evolves. Communities grow. Stoneworks is where both collide.

    ⚙️ Community Announcement: The Stoneworks Era Begins

    I’m officially preparing to launch the Stoneworks Token ($STO) on the Access Protocol network — the next step in building a sustainable, community-driven art economy.

    Early ACS supporters and subscribers to my Access Hub will form the core founder circle — the first group to help shape the Stoneworks economy from the inside out.

    Subscribe to my Access Protocol channel

    Here’s what’s coming next:

    • 🌀 Early Supporter Airdrop: Reserved for my earliest ACS stakers and most active community members.
    • 💎 Founders NFTs: Exclusive tokens for Stoneworks holders that grant ongoing rewards and access.
    • 🎨 Utility & Access: Use tokens to unlock art drops, raffles, behind-the-scenes studio access, and merch discounts.
    • 🗳️ Future Governance: Holders will eventually help decide themes, artwork selections, and drop schedules.

    The Stoneworks ecosystem will always center on one thing — connection through creativity.
    Together we’ll experiment, refine, and grow this economy into something that truly represents us.

    I’ll be sharing the roadmap and pre-launch milestones on my website , MichaelStoneArt.com and across socials.

    If you’re already subscribed — you’re early.
    If not — this is your moment to join before the foundation solidifies.

    Welcome to Stoneworks — where imagination becomes infrastructure.

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

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

    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.
