Art democratized - all welcome to create. Every week a new generative artist showcasing their work.
Let’s drop long-form to 100k+ users every week. Using our platform to lift up every artist on Solana.
Endless appreciation to the

team for the support and platform ❤️
We are artist maxis first. Solana offers the best experience for artists and collectors. And we happen to be Solana OGs.
Solana is open for generative art. The gatekeeping is over. Democratized art. Today. If you are a refugee, hop in our dc and let us help you get set up.
It may seem small to some, but it is monumental for generative art on

live q&a.
- REM physicals FREE (dm us).

Gen art is alive on Solana. We are excited to be a small part of helping grow opportunities for generative artists on blockchain.
Beginning next week, we will be holding gen art info sessions and artist q&a's on each Monday and Friday.
Win and help win.
Designing and building functionality for artists, not our bottom line.
We invite all gen artists to participate in designing and planning new features. Today, we are soliciting feedback on allowlist functionality. Hop in the Discord and tell us what else you need!
A legendary moment for us.

The last few months on Solana have been full of metaprotocols and, although they are incredible technological milestones, I want to dedicate a thread to the bridge between technological innovation and pure art, generative art.
