Creative coding is a type of computer programming used for artistic expression. A script will be programmed and stored immutably in a blockchain contract. The script will generate a unique digital art work for every new token created on the blockchain contract.

Blockchain & NFTs

Every blockchain contract is a collection of digital tokens. When every token has their unique attributes and scarcity it's called a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). All token properties are defined inside the contract, like the maximum number of tokens, initial sale price and the possible token attributes. When a new token is created the randomly generated attributes are stored premaritally inside the contract. That’s why the script will always generate the same digital art work for that specific token.
