With this recent news, we know those who built, or who have been planning to build, on Fractional.art, may be looking for answers about its future, so we are sharing initial details for what the introduction of Tessera means for Fractional.art. We’re committed to getting the word out so everyone can plan around what stays the same and what changes.

What Stays The Same?

  • Fractional.art will continue to live as a user-friendly destination to explore, manage, and discover existing vaults and vaulted collections, retaining its most critical functionalities such as being able to buy fractions via the frontend, initiate buyouts, and claim NFTs won
  • You will still be able to vote on the reserve price for your vaults, which can still be bought out if the owners no longer wish to own their fractions. Read here to learn about reserve price.
  • New and existing NFTs that are collectively bid on and won through PartyBid will continue to appear on fractional.art’s explorer

What Changes?

  • Feature updates and experience enhancements to the Fractional.art interface will no longer be actively developed
  • At some point in the future, Fractional.art will be sunset, and we will look to incorporate discovery and interaction functionalities for existing vaults somewhere within the Tessera ecosystem. NOTE: ‘Sunset’ means the frontend will no longer be available, contracts and vaults will continue to exist on the blockchain.
  • The ‘Fractionalize’ feature will be disabled and the site interface to create new vaults on Fractional.art will be discontinued, however anyone will still be able to fractionalize directly via the smart contract. Read here for how to do this!

A Final Note

We remain committed to doing right by all of you in the Web3 community and building towards our mission to curate the most extraordinary collective ownership experiences produced by the greatest creators, builders, and leaders.

Together we can create a world where anyone can have the opportunity to collectively own and govern things they value, without reliance on central gatekeepers to execute decisions and actions on their behalf.
