  • → Manual Play on any slot, any time
  • → Approve or skip Line Artist submissions
  • → Feature playlists for Drive Up Art Shows
on-chain plumbing
Any wallet, any vault
Sign in with your hot wallet. The Line will automatically find every cold wallet you've delegated to it via delegate.cash v2, plus every wallet in your 6529 consolidation. Submit art from any of them.
6529 identity on display
Your profile picture, handle, Level, TDH, and Rep score are pulled live from the 6529 API. Linked wallet list is resolved via the TDH consolidation endpoint and verified against delegate.cash.
Proof of ownership, every day
Once a day, every Guardian and Whale submission is re-verified on-chain. If you've sold the work, it silently leaves the playlist. No phantom submissions, no stale credit.
Full-resolution artwork
We prefer the raw IPFS or Arweave original over marketplace thumbnails. Square works on a landscape TV get a blurred extended background instead of black bars. Portrait works on Flipped Fridays rotate with the physical screen.
Automatic acquisitions feed
When the curators send an NFT from BatSoupYum2 to the gallery vault, it appears in Recent acquisitions without anyone touching a dashboard. The Etherscan watcher runs daily and on-demand.
