💎 Keke Terminal, Rodeo Takes Off and Kritters by R1B2
Another weekly hidden gems edition is out, where I share onchain art, apps, products, tokens and agents that caught my eye over the past week.
Hi friends,
Welcome back to another edition of Hidden Gems—your weekly dose of crypto culture highlights that caught my eye over the past week.
Let’s get right into it.
💎 Gem of the Week
Keke Terminal by Dark Sando
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into AI agents, and I just stumbled upon something fascinating: an AI artist that autonomously creates art.
“Keke is a truly autonomous AI artist, built upon an innovative agentic framework that combines creative reasoning, tool-use, and interactive decision-making. Powered by a large language model (LLM) core, Keke seamlessly integrates advanced reasoning, dynamic cognitive processes, and sophisticated artistic workflow.”
Taken from Keke Terminal Whitepaper.
Although it’s hard to prove that Keke is fully autonomous, the project has received strong reception, as reflected in its token stats (on Solana).
19.34M market cap
30M all time high market cap
1.5k holders
You can see all the artworks created by Keke Terminal in its website—but heads up, you’ll need to hold $KEKE to access them.

The fxhash Airdrop
Back in December, the generative art platform fxhash announced their upcoming token, $FXH, along with a new artist token launchpad. In this deep dive, I explore the airdrop dynamics, potential use cases for the artist tokens, and my predictions for the airdrop's value.
🚨Featured Content
Kritters by R1B2
Inspired by the eerie imagination of H.P. Lovecraft, KRITTERS is a collection of horror monsters designed to stir your deepest fears. As Lovecraft once wrote, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
These spine-chilling creatures are part of a dynamic ecosystem of rewards, auctions, and surprises, all crafted by R1B2, a generative artist from NYC.
💚 Common Kritters drop randomly and are free to claim for 24 hours.
👑 Rare Kritters reward generosity—40 are distributed weekly to random donors on @drip.haus.
💎 Legendary Kritters go to the top 5 donors weekly, with 5 more gifted randomly to the top 20.
💜 Ultimate Kritters are auctioned throughout the week, with each auction’s ending price setting the starting bid for the next.
🏆 App of the Week
Rodeo Takes Off
You’ve probably seen me write or talk about Rodeo—or maybe you caught my podcast episode with Kayvon (Rodeo’s co-founder). Well, here’s the thing: the app has absolutely taken off since launching their secondary marketplace.
Jack Butcher, the renowned innovator behind Opepen, Checks, and a master at turning complex concepts into simple, impactful visuals, has already earned nearly 8 ETH (±$28k) through sales and referrals.
Collectors are also cashing in, earning solid fees from referral rewards, while many artists are going viral with thousands of mints in just 24 hours.
The app is refreshingly straightforward—artists earn by selling, and collectors earn by curating.
