Golden Observation | How to mint NFT in Art Blocks?

The Art Blocks platform can generate artwork on demand, and how to use it will be introduced below.

NFT is not a simple copy of traditional digital products.

Of course not, to a large extent, the power of NFT lies in its programmability and other features, opening up new ways, providing new distribution channels, and expanding the way of artistic creation.

For example, we can use NFT to achieve unprecedented possibilities. The Art Blocks project is one of the representatives. This new platform can generate works of art and constantly attract attention. It was born thanks to Ethereum and NFT.

Therefore, I think the Art Blocks platform is very attractive and worth a try in the early stage of NFT development. So, here’s how to get started with this promising NFT dapp!

Art Blocks: A new way to generate artwork

Based on Ethereum, Art Blocks is an unprecedented platform capable of generating artwork on-chain.

Simply put, in Art Blocks, artists upload scripts to Ethereum smart contracts to generate works of art. These scripts are then released as a series, and collectors can purchase limited edition scripts, just like NFTs. This casting method makes the artwork script unique, so that in addition to the NFT related to the work, other artistic results can also be produced.

Here are three main ways to collect artwork from the Art Blocks platform:

Art Blocks Selected Series — The Art Blocks committee will select a series of items for display. Only these items belong to the official collection of Art Blocks. The current transaction volume is close to 7500ETH. A large number of artists have applied to enter the selected series. Due to the large number of people, the waiting time in line It has been more than two years.

Art Blocks Playground — Unofficial and non-curated items in the Art Blocks Playground can only be cast in the Art Blocks Playground after the artist has minted a work in the Art Blocks curated series. The casting mechanics in the Art Blocks Playground are the same as in the Featured Collection, the only difference is that in the former, artists can cast items at will.

Art Blocks Factory — The Art Blocks Factory distribution channel is not part of the Featured Collection, but is an easier and faster way for artists to release a series of artwork than the Featured Series. The Art Blocks project team said: "In the future, the Art Blocks factory is likely to become the largest channel for the project to release artworks."

Art Blocks Featured Collection Series 2 has come to an end, with daLenz’s Aerial View piece released last, which went live on March 28, and as of this writing, 975 of the 1,000 NFTs have been minted. In addition to these remaining NFTs, works in select series can currently only be purchased on secondary markets, such as OpenSea.

Now the whole community is waiting for the featured collection series 3. In addition, Art Blocks Playground can also provide casting channels. For example, currently pxlq's "Heiroglyphs" has minted 600 of the 1,250 NFTs, Kjetil Golid's "Paper Armada" " will be released at 5:00 pm UTC tomorrow, March 30th, and this work is also the first Art Blocks Playground project. In this particular series, collectors will end up minting 3,000 NFTs at a price of 0.1 ETH, excluding the gas price.

In addition, you can consider the first batch of Art Blocks factory projects, the following are the first batch of projects, and they are all online now:
