On-Chain Art

Gen Art

One of the key narratives for generative art last cycle was the fact that the code is stored onchain.

That is turning out to not be true?

Node operators won’t keep the free lunch going forever, esp. w low gas costs on L2s making it cheaper than ever to offload state.

Smart contract byte code =/=
Call data =/=
Event data

Onchain art isn’t binary; it’s spectrum. It feels disingenuous to reduce all the efforts made in this medium as moot by a *proposal*.

Some people genuinely care about trading more than tokenized pointers to web servers with domains set to expire in a year.

How would literal solidity contracts be bricked even? Maybe I'm being unimaginative but if solidity-generated on-chain art can be expired, then any contract can be expired.
