ArtMeta (MART) Price

ArtMeta is a digital art platform project for galleries, artists, and collectors; a 2022 announcement described it as connecting art and the crypto economy through digital exhibitions, events, and NFT artwork sales. MART is the project token disclosed in that announcement and is not equivalent to an artwork, an NFT itself, gallery equity, or ownership of artwork.

The 2022 announcement lists MART as a Polygon token with contract address 0xDcfF29b7bd211Aaef6E4a3989e4d3F732cF5b4b6. An on-chain token is identified jointly by its network and full contract address; the ticker “MART” alone cannot distinguish assets with the same name. Before sending, receiving, or approving, ensure that the wallet network and full contract address match Polygon.

According to the 2022 announcement, MART has a maximum supply of 100 million tokens, allocated as follows: treasury 20%, development and marketing 16%, staking and community programs 15%, team 10%, private sale 9%, public sale 7%, partners 6%, centralized exchange liquidity reserve 5%, advisors 5%, seed round 4%, and DEX liquidity 3%. Maximum supply is the cap in the plan; it is not the circulating supply then or now. These categories reflect the intended use of funds or token reserves. For example, the CEX and DEX liquidity categories serve liquidity needs in their respective markets; they do not constitute a commitment to trading depth or price stability. The team, financing rounds, and treasury each have their own unlock rules, so the categories cannot be added together and treated as an amount sellable on the same day.

Under the 2022 plan, not all categories were released at the TGE (token generation event). The team allocation was locked for 6 months, then released quarterly over 18 months; advisors were locked for 3 months, then released quarterly over 12 months. Treasury, development and marketing, community programs, and partners had no unlock at TGE and were released over 18, 24, 36, and 24 months, respectively. The financing rounds also followed different paths: the seed round unlocked 5% at TGE, then after a 2-month cliff, the remainder was released linearly over 9 months; the private sale was 7.5% at TGE, a 2-month cliff, and the remainder released linearly over 7 months; the public sale was 25% at TGE, a 2-month cliff, and the remainder released linearly over 4 months. DEX liquidity was 100% released at TGE. A cliff means no release during that period, while linear or quarterly release determines how tokens subsequently become available in tranches.

Maximum supply cannot directly answer “how much MART is currently tradable.” Tradable quantity must at least distinguish the allocation cap, the amount unlocked at TGE, the amount still in a cliff, the amount gradually released under the schedule, and the amount actually entering market liquidity. Under the announced plan, for example, some financing rounds and DEX liquidity had unlocks at TGE, while treasury, development and marketing, and community programs had 0% unlocked at TGE. The announcement was published in 2022, and its unlock table was the arrangement disclosed at that time; by itself, it cannot prove the actual circulating supply, holding status, or current product functionality on any date. When such current conclusions are needed, use on-chain data or official project disclosures for the relevant point in time rather than substituting a historical allocation table.

The ArtMeta use case described in the announcement allows art enthusiasts to explore art through metaverse-style digital exhibitions, participate in ArtMeta-hosted events and premium exhibitions, and directly purchase rare NFT artworks offered by galleries and artists. An NFT can be an on-chain token or credential for a specific digital item; this is a different asset layer from MART as a project token. Therefore, purchasing or holding MART does not automatically mean holding a particular NFT, a physical artwork, exhibition proceeds, or sale proceeds. The announcement introduces the art and NFT use cases the project intended to provide; it does not imply that MART confers ownership of or redemption rights in each artwork.
