Why fully on-chain art?

Why fully on-chain art?
Provenance and permanence.

Fully on-chain art can be traced back to its beginning and will likely remain long after the creator is gone.

To me, it’s akin to stone carvings or engravings. Something that’s purposefully etched into history. 🔛⛓️

Provenance & art have always had a tricky relationship.

Historians and art appraisers alike spend their lives trying to accurately attribute works to their authors. In some cases it’s nearly impossible due to lost records etc.

Add don’t forget forgeries:

What about permanence?

It’s no secret that paper disintegrates or that paint fades. Digital art helps, but where do you store it?

A thumb drive? ARWEAVE? IFPS?
All have pros & cons.

Storing your work in the actual 1s and 0s of the blockchain gives it the best shot at survival.

“Ok, but I’m not a developer. I’m an artist.”

No worries! Thanks to tools like Manifold studio and Efficax by @0xdiid, you can get your work fully on-chain (FOC)

Yes fellas, size matters, so find work that works well in a small file. PNGs and SVGs are a great start.

So go FOC yourself! 🔛⛓️
