Important Forma update
After careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to sunset the Forma chain.
We understand this announcement may feel sudden, and we wanted the news to come directly from our team as soon as the decision was finalized. 🧵
5/6 We strongly encourage users to withdraw their funds through the Forma bridge:
bridge.forma.art/
Any funds that are not withdrawn will be manually migrated to an EVM-compatible chain that will be announced later.
The culture of fandom will continue to create cognitive dissonance in artists who mistake their own celebrity [among a cabal of thirty 40 year old men] for artistic success

Outside of Solana, my other favourite work of on-chain art this year is ‘Wanderer’, by Jan Robert Leegte (@JanRobertLeegte). As part of Photo Paris 2025, Jan made ‘an autonomous, digital flâneur, an internet-based entity that roams the map of our physical world through an endless sequence of directional choices, recorded immutably on the blockchain and visualized through web-based map services’. It started at the Grand Palais, in Paris, and has now made its way West, deep into the countryside.
Walking pieces have been a staple of conceptual art, from Stanley Brouwn’s ‘This Way Brouwn’, where he asked strangers to draw him maps of directions he had asked for, to Vito Acconci and Sophie Calle’s following pieces, where they elected random strangers to trail until they lost them (either through entering a building or general disorientation).
I love Jan’s work here, the mix of autonomy and monotony, a never-ending trek across the globe that is totally decided by randomised transaction hashes on the blockchain. It feels like a work that should’ve come out during the lockdowns, but still feels fitting with the rise of AI and the fears around the autonomy of such technology. An exciting addition to the canon of ‘walking as art’, updated for the 21st century.
Most NFTs exhibit a kind of Zombie Formalism, yes, but the form that preoccupies them is the fetishized object of Technology itself.

Enjoy the in depth conversation between Sam Spike and me about Wanderer for @Formachain
Missed our chat with @JanRobertLeegte about 'Wanderer'?
You can now listen to it here in full, with improved audio quality: youtube.com/watch?v=2l3Bbnit…
We discuss: the art history of walking, art on the early web vs now, the interface as a territory to be explored, and much more…

Special thanks to @office_impart for launching the work at @ParisPhotoFair earlier this month!
At approximately 12:00 PM ET/17:00 UTC today, Forma will halt block production at block 20,282,999 to perform a sequencer network migration. Blocks are expected to resume within 2-3 hours of the migration start time.
