The End and Rebirth of NFTs

Mass-produced, burned, and forgotten.
Countless NFTs with artworks vanished, URIs returning 404.
No one remembers who created them, or why.

So we ask:
What truly matters in an NFT?

✦ ✦ ✦

Why "Fully Onchain"?

  • Cultural inheritance is what makes us human.
  • Thus, preserving information worth passing down is culture's lifeline.
  • Blockchain is not a storage medium, but a method of proof.
  • Art is not to be "consumed" but to be "interpreted and passed on"
✦ ✦ ✦

Why SVG? Why Pixel Art?

  • SVG is the only onchain image format with "human-readable structure".
  • Pixel art is "minimalism of information" yet holds infinite possibilities.
  • Onchain SVG is "visible code" yet an "immutable story".
✦ ✦ ✦

What We Build: Nightmares as Narrative Engines

  • Each nightmare has structure, attributes, and latent meaning
  • To own one is to inherit its story
  • Interpretation is left to holders, and ownership becomes legacy
✦ ✦ ✦

To the Next Generation of Chroniclers

This is not an NFT for speculation. This is an NFT to interpret and pass down.

Not just a nightmare, but a fragment of meaning.
An eternal myth, sealed onchain.
