On-chain art since 2016

Ikigai Labs

Curated Art Explorer

A hand-picked gallery of on-chain art: 334 collections hung in 8 rooms, none of it for sale.

Most of what was minted last decade was a casino: priced by rarity, not by anything anyone could see. Some of it was art. The mints have stopped and most of the marketplaces have closed, and that work is still on-chain with almost nobody looking at it. This is where it hangs. Selling nothing also frees us to name the number a marketplace never will: which work is listed far below the rest of its own collection today.

The Reading Room

15 essays about the work hanging here: footnoted, illustrated, and written into Ethereum transaction logs where they cannot be edited or taken down. No marketplace displays them.
