In Nov 2021, I bought my first NFT: a Chain Runner. I had no idea that one choice would change everything. It led me to discover onchain art, launch OnChainKevin, create Indelible, and now build Facet, the only unstoppable L2. Here’s how it all started. https://t.co/ZKxqjmUXtX

A Chain Runner NFT purchase in 2021 unlocked Michael Hirsch's passion for onchain art, Ethereum, and the freedom of open, permissionless creation.

Bullish on Texas 🤠
Today @Coinbase is announcing our decision to leave Delaware and reincorporate in Texas. This decision was not made lightly, but we’ll always do what’s best for our customers, our employees, and our shareholders. 1/6

@opensea @HollanderAdam Another cool part of this is that it could work across layers. The NFT could stay on L1 for provenance while the art and metadata live on an L2. web3:// would point to the L2 resolver, keeping it cheap but still verifiable from L1. And if that L2 ever shuts down, the art could

Gateways like w3link[dot]io make these URLs viewable in browsers today. Once marketplaces and wallets add native web3:// support, off-chain collections will finally have a way to live fully on-chain. Would love to see @opensea explore this. What do you think @HollanderAdam

If a web3:// gateway ever goes down, the URI itself still shows exactly how to get the data. It includes the chain, contract, and method, so anyone can fetch it with an eth_call. That makes it verifiable and permanent in a way IPFS can’t match.

For collections that started off-chain and can’t upgrade their contracts, this means they can migrate their art and metadata to Ethereum and simply update the baseURI to a web3:// resolver. No redeploy. No broken metadata. No dependence on IPFS.

That’s what ERC-4804 (web3://), @EthStorage, fixes. It’s like HTTP for Ethereum. It lets you fetch contract data directly through a URL. Example: web3://0x078be86f3104a32313a47815792230a3808642cc:1/tokenURI/1 That URL calls @OnChainAllStars tokenURI(1) on-chain and returns the

The real problem isn’t putting art on-chain. It’s that even if everything is already on-chain, the NFT contract still has to use an ipfs://, ar://, or https:// baseURI, because that’s the only way wallets and marketplaces know how to fetch and render metadata.

I’ve been contacted by a lot of artists who want to move their NFT collections fully on-chain. I’ve been exploring ways to help, but right now it usually means: A) migrating to a new contract, or B) storing art on a separate one (without improving how the NFTs render). It’s

Excited about the updates coming to @ethscriptions! Should we add support for creating collections on the new Ethscriptions Chain?

My vision for @0xCarve is simple: give every artist real ownership over their work.

Control is an illusion. Effort isn’t. Most of life’s wins come from giving your all when you can’t control it all.

Love seeing NFTs used to raise money for a good cause 🙌 That’s why we made @0xCarve integrate directly with @TheGivingBlock so anyone can create NFTs and transparently send mint funds to hundreds of verified nonprofit organizations.
With the continuing government shutdown in the US, SNAP benefits are now paused -- which makes it more important than ever to support food aid organizations. So I've created "Fibonacci Harvest." It's cheap -- .0033 ETH per edition, roughly $12.50 -- and all revenue raised will

Putting digital artifacts on-chain makes them real. It gives them presence in a shared world that everyone can see and touch. They aren’t just files sitting on a server that someone controls. They exist within a space that plays by its own rules. You can move them, trade them,

🎃 I had this idea for a fully on-chain NFT collection called Pumpkin Heads. Each mint gives you a pixel-art pumpkin, and after minting ends, holders can “carve” theirs by drawing directly on-chain. Once you carve it, it’s forever. Every black pixel you place is saved immutably,
