Been working on an experiment over the weekend

Introducing "Artchains", a remix and collab art protocol on 
@base 
 
App: https://artchains.app

More information in the thread 🧵

Anyone can create an art chain by minting a genesis piece.

From that point one anyone can create a derivative of that genesis piece, and then anyone can create a derivative of that derivative... you see where I'm going 👀

Parent <> Child Provenance is fully set onchain

An art chain in which every single one of its pieces has run out of time is effectively "dead" - no more pieces can ever be created out of that chain - which can either be good or bad depending on how you see it.

An art chain with a lot of derivatives / children will be more likely to survive long term

The idea is heavily inspired by @opepenedition and its remix culture.

I've also been fascinated by the idea of putting full provenance onchain, which includes the inspiration of a piece

Also, the concept of "collection" within art chains is very loosely defined, I can imagine there'd be multiple "canons" as to what subcollections can exist withing a chain.

oh I forgot to mention - creating pieces wether being a child piece, or genesis is free

minting is 0.001, all the proceeds go to the creator - so not much downside from creating something - especially this early

Any piece can be minted for 0.001 ETH

97.5% of the proceeds go to the creator 

2.5% of the proceeds go towards the protocol, still TBD what that means

Every piece has an open minting window of 24 hours
