Blockchain art and other inventions. Punk #641 lent by unrealSov.

This is incredible, it means more to me that Fingerprints acquired some of these works than if a museum or any other art institution would have done the same.
Fingerprints just acquired six works from the series SALT by @figure31_ and @0xmons (in collab with @______jpg______ ). SALT uniquely combines photography and smart contracts to create a series of time-based artworks, each of them unique, each essentially the same. 1/

The open edition mint for Anticipation (of a future event) on @rarible is now closed. 190,203 editions minted over 24H on ETH mainnet. It's certainly a personal record of mine. I'm looking forward to bridging and revealing the photographs with you all at a later date on

Critically, there's no point in making another conceptually blank but visually attractive generative art collection today. It would be drowned in the ever-filling pool of on-chain consumerism. I doubt anyone will seriously write about it in the future.

The case for blockchain art, especially dynamic blockchain art, is clear. The blockchain is a temporal database that contains emotions and connections. We must tell a story with this data, or it's just tech. This might be what we need the most right now.

REAPER'S GAMBIT $RG TLDR if you just got here:. 💀 The Reaper comes every 9 days (64800 blocks). 🔥 I committed 100% of the supply to the pool and burned the LP tokens. 👼 The Uniswap pool and router are "immortal".

I must confess. REAPER’S GAMBIT is an elaborate AI-generated meme token machination to teach the masses about the immutable nature of Ethereum blocks. Utility, you ask? Education, I say.
Quote from the $RG group chat:. "I never cared about blocks before this".

AOFE final step. If you burned one of the 70K editions last week, you can now mint on @EclipseFND with @scopenft. There are nine variants, each featuring a different solar phase. The 4th one is the eclipse totality, an absence of light.

I created the REAPER’S GAMBIT last Sunday afternoon after a random discussion with ChatGPT. I thought it was a weird idea that maybe 50 addresses or so would even dare to interact with as a badge of honour.
My work is conceptual and dynamic in nature. It's a way to explore questions of ownership and medium specificity. This project is another way to approach these themes through a fungible token. The contract was generated with ChatGPT. It's not audited. DYOR.

AI meme tokens were inevitable. ERC20 tokens are simple, ChatGPT can write Solidity, and it’s incredibly easy to develop an entertaining story. REAPER’S GAMBIT and TURBO were both made w/ AI and released during the same week. Any others?.

The statement below is misleading. Blockchain records matter. REAPER’S GAMBIT was created by AI and minted 4 days before Turbo.

The cruel beauty of REAPER'S GAMBIT's timelock mechanism: 92% of the $RG supply could be locked out of circulation. Only 8% of the supply remains in the immortal Uniswap pool two weeks after the gambit started.

I’m busy doing my taxes. I’ll share a follow-up for the REAPER’S GAMBIT once I’m done. There will be a new contract to allow addresses to escape the Reaper in exchange for a part of their $RG soul and maybe even steal from others’ souls. It’s called Hourglass ⏳.

To be clear,. 9 days after an address first receives some $RG tokens, they will become non-transferable. Solution: send the tokens to a new address before 9 days to reset the counter. The contract/tokens don't "expire" after 9 days.

For the past decades, art's coverage in the media has steadily declined. Whether the art produced during the 2021 era was good is secondary. For the first time in a long time, art benefited from an exposure boost, and it attracted a new class of artists and collectors. It's +.
it's funny how quickly 2021 became a slur around cryptoart circles as if there wasn't a massive influx of talent and innovation that year along with all the dreck. an influx like that would be good for everyone right about now, even the ones being hipsters about it.

Plenty of entities amassed incredible collections of flat (2D) blockchain art, but few focus on volumetric or spatial (3D) practices. It's an opportunity for anyone with a mid to long-term vision (artists, curators, and collectors alike). This market sector is undervalued imo.

Approaching one month since $RG inception. Tomorrow a little over 20% of the supply could be repossessed by the Reaper. REAPER'S GAMBIT is the most entertaining and critical on-chain game I've played.
