█ Basics: 

In a "fully on-chain" NFT, everything - from the artwork to metadata - is stored directly on the blockchain. No reliance on external links or storage. Ensuring permanence and authenticity.

▒ Artwork: 

True on-chain NFTs encode and store digital art within the blockchain itself. No IPFS or external URLs are used. This ensures the art remains tamper-proof and permanently accessible.

░ Metadata: 

In fully on-chain NFTs, attributes and traits are stored on the blockchain too, not just pointers or links to external json. This ensures full decentralization and integrity of data.

█ Longevity: 

The key advantage of fully on-chain NFTs is their resilience. Even if a project's website goes down, the NFTs remain intact and accessible on the blockchain. They don't rely on off-chain servers, ensuring eternal digital ownership.

▒ Reality Check: 

Many projects claim "fully on-chain" status but often rely on off-chain elements for metadata or artwork generation/hosting. "On-chain" became a misleading marketing word. Always investigate the smart contract to truly verify. 

▒ [7/11]

Fully on-chain NFTs represent the pinnacle of decentralization and permanence in digital art. They redefine the boundaries of art in the digital era. 

░ [8/11]

On-chain NFTs with generative art are more than a trend; they're a revolution in digital expression and ownership, pushing the limits of creativity. It is the digital expression of our beliefs.

▓ [9/11]

Understanding "fully on-chain" NFTs is crucial as the space evolves. They offer true decentralization, permanence, and a new canvas for digital creativity.

█ [10/11]

As the NFT space matures, fully on-chain NFTs stand as a testament to the fusion of art, technology, and ownership. 

And on that note, BitMasks are coming really soon 👾

▓ Smart Contracts: 

The contract handles all aspects including creation, transfer, and interactive features. It's crucial for a fully on-chain NFT to operate independently of off-chain inputs.
