This week on Rarible: Zenboz Modern Monks, LemonHeads, Amber Vittoria

This week we have some interesting utility NFTs dropping, as well as (you guessed it) some fire art.

Zenboz Modern Monks is an NFT that grants access to an AI chatbot, LemonHeads brings identity onchain and Amber Vittoria, well, she’s Amber Vittoria! Let’s get into it.

Zenboz Modern Monks, on Base

We sat down with Shyam, the founder of Zenboz and got the inside scoop on this project. Here’s a sneak peak, and you can check out the full interview on our blog.

The Monks are all about finding that sense of peace in a fast-paced, kinda crazy world. What’s your relationship or experience with mental well-being, how has that shaped the ethos of the collection?

Shyam: Life moves fast, and staying centered isn’t always easy. Challenges come at you nonstop, and when you start to lose that sense of balance, it impacts every part of your life—how you show up for your family, your work, and how you see yourself. It’s a downward spiral if you’re not careful, and I’ve learned firsthand that if you want to keep grinding without burning out, balance is essential. You have to recognize that you matter in the equation.

The idea behind Zenboz is to infuse monk-like calm into our chaotic modern lives. It’s deeply rooted in my own experiences with mental well-being and shaped by my dad’s philosophy: don’t take yourself too seriously, and always stay hopeful, no matter what. 

That mindset has kept me grounded over the years. My wife jokes that I’m “hopelessly hopeful,” and it’s true—staying optimistic, even when things get tough, has been my way of navigating the chaos. Zenboz is an extension of that belief: a reminder to find peace within, embrace who you are, and approach life with both calm and resilience.

Zenboz have taken a unique approach to naming the collection attributes — going more on vibes and concepts over simple descriptive words. 
In a blog post you stated that: “meta-naming introduces a layer of playfulness and poetic depth”. How important is playfulness in this project, and in the NFT space more generally?

Shyam: Playfulness is a big part of Zenboz and the way we approached the collection. Life can get heavy, fast. So, injecting some humor, curiosity, and a sense of wonder feels essential—not just in our NFTs, but in how we approach life in general. 

The attributes of Zenboz reflect that idea: they’re meant to feel more like an experience or a vibe rather than just a checkbox description. Each attribute evokes not only a visual identity but an emotional and sensory quality—like Twilight Reflection or Rooted Rapture—adding layers of meaning that go beyond the surface. We wanted each piece to invite interpretation, spark joy, and maybe even make people smile as they engage with it.

In the NFT space, I believe playfulness is vital because it keeps things from becoming purely transactional. The most successful projects build communities around shared experiences, emotions, and inside jokes — playfulness becomes a thread that connects people. 

NFTs are ultimately about more than the art or the asset; they’re about the stories and culture that form around them. This playful layer of meaning adds depth and longevity, creating emotional ties between people and their collections. 

For us, it’s not just about delivering digital ownership — it’s about inviting people into a journey that feels personal, light-hearted, and meaningful all at once.

LemonHeads by Lemonade Social, on Base

Lemonade Social is an onchain group that facilitates events organization, community building, dApp development and social connection. Each project is lovingly referred to as a Lemonade stand, and taken together they form ‘The United Stands of Lemonade’. This community is a radical experiment in governance and onchain funding.

The LemonHeads NFT is part of their onchain identity project, ensuring full control over your online identity.

Worlds of Wonder by Amber Vittoria, on Moonbeam

Amber Vittoria is an abstract artist based in LA, California. Her art practice spans both the physical and digital realms, and her colorful creations are instantly recognizable. This latest drop, ‘Worlds of Wonder’ explores the innovative possibilities of the Moonbeam network. 

And really that’s just a taster of what’s happening in the Rarible community this week. 

Happy minting fam!
