Exploring Generative Art in Ethereum

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Chronological tour of generative art on Ethereum: the original 10,000 CryptoPunks store hashes off-chain; CryptoKitties adds breeding to combine trait strings; Autoglyphs embeds procedural instructions fully on-chain; Clovers creates an effectively infinite state space and funds minting via a bonding curve minting economy to reward continual generation; other projects store on-chain SVG traits (Otherdeed/Avastars), Art Blocks serves JS scripts, Neolastics renders SVG plus bonding curves, some experiments never launched, and a proposed stack uses MPC autonomous artist to hide contributors while producing and monetizing art.
