Minting has started. Each piece is a mathematical function living on Ethereum. Early activity is already visible. #CryptoFunctions #Ethereum #Web3 #MathArt #dApp

@balajis Crypto Functions lets you sketch with math. Your formula becomes the art stored fully on-chain. This isn’t a picture of code. It’s the code. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

I have never been more bullish on crypto. Because the rules-based order is collapsing and the code-based order is rising. So the short term price doesn’t matter. As international law breaks down, we will need not just onchain currencies, but onchain companies. As the post-war order breaks down, we’ll similarly need the post-internet order. States will fail, and the network will take their place. We need internet capitalism, we need internet democracy, and we need internet privacy. So we need cryptocurrency.

will add $100K to this, with a twist. we will be starting the world's first networked art collection this month*, so our collecting will be for the network collection, not for the 6529 Museum. * I just front-run my own announcement but it is for a good cause - details soon

Have been following reactions to what I said about L2s about 1.5 days ago. One important thing that I believe is: "make yet another EVM chain and add an optimistic bridge to Ethereum with a 1 week delay" is to infra what forking Compound is to governance - something we've done far too much for far too long, because we got comfortable, and which has sapped our imagination and put us in a dead end. If you make an EVM chain *without* an optimistic bridge to Ethereum (aka an alt L1), that's even worse. We don't friggin need more copypasta EVM chains, and we definitely don't need even more L1s. L1 is scaling and is going to bring lots of EVM blockspace - not infinite (AIs in particular will need both more blockspace and lower latency than even a greatly scaled L1 can offer), but lots. Build something that brings something new to the table. I gave a few examples: privacy, app-specific efficiency, ultra-low latency, but my list is surely very incomplete. A second important thing that I believe is: regarding "connection to Ethereum", vibes need to match substance. I personally am a fan of many of the things that can be called "app chains". For example I think there's a large chance that the optimal architecture for prediction markets is something like: the market gets issued and resolved on L1, user accounts are on L1, but trading happens on some based rollup or other L2-like system, where the execution reads the L1 to verify signatures and markets. I like architectures where deep connection to L1 is first-class, and not an afterthought ("we're pretty much a separate chain, but oh yeah, we have a bridge, and ok fine let's put 1-2 devs to get it to stage 1 so the l2beat people will put a green checkmark on it so vitalik likes us"). The other extreme of "app chain", eg. the version where you convince some government registry, or social media platform, or gaming thing, to start putting merkle roots of its database, with STARKs that prove every update was authorized and signed and executed according to a pre-committed algorithm, onchain, is also reasonable - this is what makes the most sense to me in terms of "institutional L2s". It's obviously not Ethereum, not credibly neutral and not trustless - the operator can always just choose to say "we're switching to a different version with different rules now". But it would enable verifiable algorithmic transparency, a property that many of us would love to see in government, social media algorithms or wherever else, and it may enable economic activity that would otherwise not be possible. I think if you're the first thing, it's valid and great to call yourself an Ethereum application - it can't survive without Ethereum even technologically, it maximizes interoperability and composability with other Ethereum applications. If you're the second thing, then you're not Ethereum, but you are (i) bringing humanity more algorithmic transparency and trust minimization, so you're pursuing a similar vision, and (ii) depending on details probably synergistic with Ethereum. So you should just say those things directly! Basically: 1. Do something that brings something actually new to the table. 2. Vibes should match substance - the degree of connection to Ethereum in your public image should reflect the degree of connection to Ethereum that your thing has in reality.

Totally agree. If we want Ethereum to thrive creatively, we need to make it feel like a place where art can be born, not just traded. We've been experimenting with a kind of Ethereum native sketchbook. No images, no uploads. Just math expressions that render visuals directly on-chain. It lowers the bar and opens up strange, expressive possibilities.

Beginner artists need better support on ETH. My collecting journey, starting with small amounts, has helped me explore five chains. But when it comes to ETH, it hits different. Beginner artists show up with ideas worth noticing, rooted in traditional art and newer tools like AI, generative art, and 3D. Their work can feel radical. And yet, the prices often aren’t dramatically high, especially by ETH standards. We simply need small amounts to help artists make it onto ETH. Sometimes that’s enough of a push for someone to stay and keep creating. Invest in beginners.

@ethereum Absolutely love seeing artists share the how, not just the what. We’ve been exploring similar territory with Crypto Functions — generating visual pieces directly from math expressions, stored 100% on-chain. It’s amazing how far clean math can take you.

A great example of high-quality generative art on-chain Love seeing how people breakdown the creative process Very rare to see

Crypto Functions is opening soon. The platform will allow users to create, visualize, and store mathematical expressions directly on-chain. At launch, the platform will be open to everyone, with a limited number of free mints available for early builders. No images. No uploads. Just math, recorded on-chain. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

Crypto Functions is almost ready. The platform will open publicly very soon. Early access details will be shared shortly. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

Launch time is getting closer. 🎈 Even celebration can be described with pure math. These party balloons are defined by simple mathematical expressions and stored directly on-chain. The visuals are derived from the data, not from images or external files. This is the kind of creativity Crypto Functions is designed to unlock. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

Why build Crypto Functions this way? Because most NFTs depend on external files, links, or off-chain storage. Remove those, and the asset disappears. Crypto Functions explores a different idea. What if the entire artwork is defined directly on-chain, using only mathematical expressions stored in the contract? Pure math, when used carefully, can describe far more than simple curves. It can represent shapes, symbols, and complex visual ideas without relying on anything outside the chain. #CryptoFunctions #Web3 #MathArt #buildinpublic #NFTs

What is winter without a snowman? ☃️ This is one example of what will be possible when Crypto Functions goes live. No images. No uploads. Just simple mathematical expressions, stored on-chain, and rendered into visual form. Pure math. Nothing else. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs #NewYear2026

More New Year inspired examples built from pure math. Cheers, snowflakes, and a Christmas tree each created by combining simple mathematical functions. Crypto Functions explores how equations can describe not just curves, but symbols, moments, and ideas. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #NewYear2026 #NFTs #dApp #NewYear

A new year, new functions. 🎆 Math doesn’t have to stay abstract. With Crypto Functions, equations become visual, creative, and expressive. Some recent New Year–inspired examples below 👇 #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #NewYear2026 #NFTs #dApp

Why build Crypto Functions? Because mathematical expressions are more than formulas. They describe motion, symmetry, patterns, and structure. Crypto Functions is about giving those ideas a visual and on-chain form so math can be explored, shared, and owned in a new way. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #NFTs

From simple curves to complex compositions. Crypto Functions lets you start with a single equation and build up to layered, expressive mathematical visuals. Whether it’s a basic sin(x) or a multi-function composition, the same ideas scale naturally. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

Crypto Functions is being built for people who enjoy the intersection of math, visuals, and code. Whether you’re a creator, developer, or simply curious about mathematical art, the platform is designed to let you explore and create in new ways. #CryptoFunctions #MathArt #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

Crypto Functions is a platform — not a single NFT collection. We’re building a dApp where mathematical functions become visual, interactive, and ownable on-chain. Users can define functions, explore their visual form, and turn them into digital artifacts recorded on the blockchain. The first public version of the Crypto Functions dApp is planned to launch within the next 30 days. This is the foundation for a new way to create and interact with math-based digital art. #CryptoFunctions #Web3 #dApp #NFTs

How Crypto Functions works: 1️⃣ Write a mathematical function 2️⃣ Instantly visualize it as a graph 3️⃣ Turn it into a digital collectible From equations → to visuals → to on-chain art. Simple math. Real ownership. #CryptoFunctions #NFTs #Web3
