	The first project which evolved into a cryptograss tool was [[Revealer]], which was started at the [[EthBarcelona 2023]] hackathon by [[Justin Holmes]], [[R.J. Partington III]], [[Kieran Prasch]], and [[Kuba Hejhal]]. The project was, at that time, designed specifically to release Holmes' debut bluegrass record, [[Vowel Sounds]], and won the [[Gnosis]] prize at the hackathon.		{{Bot_proposes\|The first project which evolved into a cryptograss tool was [[Revealer]], which was started at the [[EthBarcelona 2023]] hackathon by [[Justin Holmes]], [[R.J.

	In the following weeks, the group launched chat forums on Discord and Matrix, and held several conference calls leading up the album release. In addition to the hackathon winners, these calls were joined by [[Skyler Golden]], [[Jakub Vysoky]], and [[Jake Stargel]], the latter of whom coined the term 'cryptograss' during one of the calls.		{{Bot_proposes\|In the following weeks, the group launched chat forums on Discord and Matrix, and held several conference calls leading up the album release.

	The Revealer contract - the group's first mainnet contract - was deployed on September 1, 2023, as <small>0xa812137EFf2B368d0B2880A39B609fB60c426850</small> on the ethereum blockchain. The contract required that 10 eth (at the time, about $38,000) be contributed in order for Vowel Sounds to be released. This goal was accomplished in almost exactly 8 days.		{{Bot_proposes\|The Revealer contract - the group's first mainnet contract - was deployed on September 1, 2023, as <small>0xa812137EFf2B368d0B2880A39B609fB60c426850</small> on the ethereum blockchain.

	Currently, the wallet which owns cryptograss.eth is custodied by [[Justin Holmes]]. API keys, deploy keys, authorized SSH keys for maybelle, and other authorization material is held jointly by Holmes, [[R.J. Partington III]], [[Skyler Golden]], and [[Jake Stargel]]. This group has frequently discussed tokenization of authority and increasing DAO infrastructure. This topic is tentatively planned for in-person discussion at [[EthBoulder 2026]], where Holmes' band is tentatively scheduled to play.		{{Bot_proposes\|Currently, the wallet which owns cryptograss.eth is custodied by [[Justin Holmes]].
