On-chain art explained

Roughly there are two types of NFT artworks: regular ones, and on-chain generated ones. These on-chain generated artworks use blockchain data to render a unique version of an artwork. For example, the blockchain hash or transaction, influences the shapes and colors of an artwork. These types of NFT artworks are increasingly popular, mostly because they underline the essence of blockchain.

Through Art Blocks these NFTs exist completely on-chain. A piece of software on the blockchain combined with the buyer’s transaction data, generates a unique artwork. Because the software and the data is always available on the blockchain, these artworks can always exist as long as the blockchain is working. 

Artworks created through Art Blocks have become increasingly popular. Over the past 7 days, the NFT collection has been responsible for $10,44 million in trading volume. These on-chain artworks performed better than for example CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club.
