The Stoned Frogs reveal more art for upcoming art upgrade
More art of the upcoming TSF art upgrade was released today. The sneak today focused on “The 4 Elements”, hinting at elemental traits being a part of the upgraded art, and the art shows the Stoned Frogs covered in elemental features.
The Stoned Frogs are a NFT collection that minted earlier this year, building various tools for other NFT projects and its own community via Lilypad, on top of other products such as cannabis coffee. TSF also has a PVP game coming soon, featuring a “Fight-to-Earn” mechanic.
The game will be released soon after the launch of the Ascension, where holders can spend $SEEDS to upgrade their original art to the ascended art. The ascended Frogs will also get benefits in terms of earning $SEEDS in game, and more information will come soon.
The cost of ascending a TSF is believed to be somewhere between 1000–1250 $SEEDS.

Liberty Square launched its NFT project on July 14th with Magic Edens Launchpad. The collection, which launched in the midst of the bear market, has since seen a surge in sales due to merchandise and anticipation of future plans for the project. The collection which minted for 0.88 SOL currently sits at an ATH of 11 SOL.
Liberty Square also shared and pinned a mysterious image on its Twitter account two days earlier. There has been speculation that Liberty Square is considering an art renovation, but the founder has dismissed these reports. The public is left to speculate as to what the picture is about.
