Starting the week feeling so blessed. 🙏 When I chose to mint Abstract Firsts as the chain’s first 1k NFTs, I was scared that a collection I had worked so hard on would go unnoticed. It felt like a ton of risk to jump first, especially with an art concept. Every day leading up to mainnet, I kept changing my mind. But I did it, and I've never had so much support! The energy just keeps building. This level of attention seven months after mint is extremely rare in crypto art. 🥹 Not only does the collection keep returning to the Abstract top 10, but it has now broken 100 ETH in secondary volume! I'm grateful. It's not lost on me. Thank you collectors, supporters, and the @Abstract_Eco team.

Welcome to @moonshotcox as the newest Abstract Firsts collector! They picked up these three! Each piece takes its block from @AbstractChain, encodes it, and renders it in the "console" animated style. This happens completely on-chain with no external resources. A permanent part of Abstract. It differs from most long-form generative art collections because the hashes were determined by the first 1k Abstract blocks. Beyond digital art they are historical artifacts of the chain's genesis. A show of appreciation for the underlying tech. An attempt to reveal the beauty I see in code.

It all starts with art. Six months ago @AbstractChain mainnet went live, and Abstract Firsts became its first 1k NFTs. This generative art collection serves as a monument. Each piece was born from one of the first Abstract blocks, taking its data, encoding it, and rendering it into an animated visual form. A celebration of how code can be beautiful. A reminder of the underlying blockchain foundations we're already beginning to take for granted. As a monument, this collection is permanent. It lives entirely on-chain. An eternal part of Abstract. Their fates forever connected. So it all started with art, and it can never end without it.
