Big news: Art Blocks is now truly on-chain!

Today marks a significant milestone in the Art Blocks journey. As we celebrate 4 years, we're thrilled to announce that 90% of artwork released across our ecosystem is now fully on-chain—including all dependencies. No external services, no platform dependencies.

Everything needed to generate these works lives permanently on Ethereum. Using just a web browser and access to the blockchain, these artworks can be experienced exactly as intended, forever.

This achievement represents a fundamental shift in digital art preservation. Run your own generator, pin the UI to IPFS, or access directly from Ethereum—these works are now truly independent of any platform.

Amazing - probably one of the biggest criticisms….

Yep, the remaining 10% use a mix of specialized JS libraries and different dependency versions that we haven't deployed on-chain yet. We'll keep chipping away at these, preserving them over time. 🫡

Rad, congrats! 

I’m guessing that remaining 10% is a tricky hurdle of niche dependencies. Is 100% a world we can expect to live in or will there always be something new to catch up on? Not a concern, just curios about something I don’t know well.
