share a piece of software dev lore about yourself





In the coming months, you’ll see meaningful changes at Art Blocks: some that honor our past, others that look towards the future. Today we introduce Collector Profiles: aggregate wallets, log in via email, track sets & achievements. Create yours: artblocks.io


Art Blocks today is a very different organization than it was just a year ago. And the stuff we are working on and thinking about reflects that. In fact, pretty soon @artblocks_io will feel very different than it has up until now, in various ways. We have already made a bunch of changes and progress this year, but lots more to come, both functionally and conceptually. One big step towards that is a (candidly long overdue) collector profile. One that aggregates all your wallets and brings your Art Blocks collection, from our six flagship collections (Curated, Factory, Playground, Presents, Explorations, and Collaborations) to everything Studio and Engine (still only L1 ETH for now), to one place. Email login. Recognized achievements and honors. Preliminary set building (starting with also long overdue Curated Series 1–8 and expanding as it makes sense). Embedded wallets and, soon, simple showcase functionality. This went live today. Take a moment and check it out and claim some achievements (bonus points if you can tell me the inspiration for the animation you see when claiming your achievements). Really just a starting point that puts us in a position to both celebrate the past and embrace the future. In general, it is likely that we see a major transformation not just at Art Blocks, but across this ecosystem and in a lot of tech in general. I’m personally super excited about the future and simultaneously terrified by the rapid pace of change. But very much here for it. Super excited about how initiatives like PostParams will play a role in giving Art Blocks and creators that release on AB the flexibility to explore new territory. Anyways, I know it’s a bit tough and dreary out there. But we are still here. Building. Thinking. Staying true to ourselves and what we set out to do in the first place. And we are not going anywhere. Huge, huge thanks to the team for the tremendous amount of thought and work and polish and dialogue and research that led to this update. I’m personally just so damn proud to work with each and every one of them, and grateful for their passion for what we do. Hope y’all enjoy these and all the upcoming updates. 🍻
