Prohibition: an open, community driven & onchain generative art platform built on @ArtBlocksEngine & deploying on @Arbitrum, an Ethereum L2. Coming soon ✖️

Today, I’m announcing the wind-down of @ProhibitionArt and its parent company, Venture Punk Inc. This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s time to close this chapter. Prohibition.art will remain live through the end of the month, with final opportunities for NFT purchases and collection management until September 30th, 2024. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition for artists, collectors, and the community, while preserving the legacy and integrity of the platform’s existing artworks. To all the artists, collectors, and supporters—thank you. Your belief in Prohibition and @venture_punk made this journey possible. I’m deeply grateful for the trust and creativity you've brought to the platform. As we approach the final days, Prohibition.art will remain operational until September 30th. Artists with active projects can choose to cap their editions or allow minting to continue via Arbiscan after the site shuts down. All onchain functionalities will remain intact. Thanks to our integration with @ArtBlocksEngine, rendering services and assets will continue to be supported—ensuring the art remains alive and accessible. Heart & Craft Update: Before the platform shuts down, @ArtOnBlockchain and I will each mint up to 1,000 additional NFTs for our personal collections, and the project will be capped at a final edition size. This ensures Heart & Craft’s legacy while giving the community a final opportunity to engage with the project. Although Prohibition is closing, the art lives on. Everything that exists onchain will continue to function, and I’m proud of what we built together. Thank you to every artist, collector, and supporter who helped shape this platform. Your creativity, trust, and enthusiasm are what made Prohibition special. While this chapter is closing, I remain excited about the future of digital art and NFTs. I’m already working on new ideas and exploring fresh opportunities. If you’re interested in collaborating, exploring new opportunities, or simply chatting about the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again, and onward to what’s next. 💜

The new episode of The Engine is up! We are talking about Building in Consumer Crypto and Crypto Art. Our guests are: Jordan Lyall @JordanLyall, the founder of @venture_punk, @ProhibitionArt and @skylab_xyz, and Devon Figures @devonfigures, the founder of @whitewallsapp. TL;DR: The NFT craze of 2021 was insane and will probably never be repeated but digital art will only continue to take more and more space in our lives.
