Please reach us on twitter @BlockGenArt if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We are a generative art focused NFT platform running exclusively on Cardano. We're positively excited by the near infinite possibilities that exist for on-chain generative art and we'll be having immense fun exploring those possibilities. Please check our roadmap for more info.
We've looked at a lot of blockchains and honestly we think Cardano is the best. Transaction fees are low, The eUtxo model means no double spending or loss of funds due to failed transactions, the energy use of the chain is small and last but definitely not least..the community on Cardano is friendly, supportive and quite frankly amazing!!
Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. For us this means writing code that has the capacity to change various aspects of the piece to create new, exciting and sometimes unexpected variations.
It takes a lot of time and experience to craft the perfect algorithm, and to fully deliver on an artistic vision usually means solving many technical challenges on the way!
Each piece of artwork is unique, and each piece of artwork is generated by a unique piece of javascript code. This code is included in the metadata of your NFT, which means that with a few simple steps you can completely recreate your artwork from the data on-chain.
This means that we are not dependant on third parties like IPFS*
*we do upload thumbnails to IPFS so you get a better experience with some wallets and explorers but this is not your artwork, your art is the code and as long as the Cardano blockchain is running your art is safe.
Either in your wallet or on an explorer.
We like pool.pm. so just head over there, use the magnifying glass in the corner and paste in your Cardano address. You will be able to see all tokens in your wallet
Each project will be different so please check the project details for that particular drop
Our long term goal is to be a platform for Generative art on Cardano. We will invite you, the community, to join us on this journey by utilising a DAO token for voting rights on the platform (amongst other utility)
DAO tokens will be distributed to holders of NFTs from certain collections - and ultimately will be used to curate new artists and drive the direction of the platform - it's still early on this one so watch this space!
If you're a generative artist looking for a way onto Cardano please join our discord and say hello, we will go through a review process with you and your collection before we commit to providing a minting solution
