An inaccessible address is usually known as the zero-address. "Burn" is a visual representation of this process. The fire contains the Solidity code that implements the "_burn()" function in the ERC-721 standard, and the smoke cloud includes the characters "0x0" to represent the zero-address. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1618074516561-9ZBSV8D5NB80QQ4E4WZL/nft721.gif For Those Who Know Every NFT conforms to the ERC-721 standard. ERC-721 is a defined interface of functions and data structures that smart contracts must implement, or inherit from, to be considered a Non-Fungible Token. "721" fills the letters "NFT" with the actual Solidity function definitions and implementations specified in the ERC-721 standard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1620237525851-AMD90E8Z3XBEFIYXGQ9W/4_merkle.gif For Those Who Know A critical data structure underlying the Ethereum Blockchain is the Merkle Patricia Trie, which allows for easy transaction verification and state transitions. "Merkle" is a visual representation of a Transaction Merkle Patricia Trie. The tree's roots contain real transaction hashes that lead up through the tree trunk to a root transaction hash. The transaction data is from a specific Ethereum block indicated in the bottom right corner of the GIF. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1620237488823-RY1VG3160GJWR149NSVC/1_daofork.gif For Those Who Know In block 1920000, a hard-fork occurred on the Ethereum Blockchain to help recover funds stolen in the DAO Hack. The fork consisted of a new contract deployed to the Ethereum Blockchain with a single "withdraw()" function allowing users to recover lost funds. "Fork" is a visual representation of this momentous hard-fork and consists of an interweaving fork filled with the actual Solidity implementation of the WithdrawDAO contract. https://www.x0rart.com/whoami daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://www.x0rart.com/for-those-who-dont-know-collection daily 0.75 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1622222909078-OVUPGIF6MBI6K0HOBXCC/oracle.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out Oracles are a bridge between the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and the outside world. Decentralized Applications (DApps) use Oracles to view external data feeds, such as prices, or generate random numbers. The "oracle" eye represents a DApp's view outside the blockchain. The pupil contains the Chainlink VRFCoordinator.sol contract source code, an Oracle that gives DApps the ability to generate random numbers on-chain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1622222671085-4IUQI04J5HRNMICK8ZIV/pseudo.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out Random Number Generation is a critical component of designing a secure cryptographic cipher. Computers are deterministic, making it challenging to generate true randomness on their own. Instead, computers pull random data from outside resources (such as a mouse and keyboard) known as "entropy." Next, entropy is fed into a Pseudo-Random Number Generator to create a random number. "pseudo" represents this process through deterministic rolling digital dice with random entropy bytes within the dots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1622222889869-6Z6SEG9OSKQIOKFPK9FL/private_key.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out All Externally Owned Accounts on the Ethereum blockchain are controlled by a random 32-byte private key. An account's public key and public Ethereum address are derived from this private key through Elliptic Curve operations. BIP-39 proposed to encode the 32-byte key with a mnemonic phrase or seed phrase. "private_key" is a visual representation of a private key composed of the 2048 possible words that can be in a mnemonic seed phrase as defined by BIP-39. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1622222646479-J1W2QSTN031PTJ84P5HM/elliptic.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out Private keys, public keys, and signatures on the Ethereum blockchain are all computed using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The 21,000 base gas fee in Ethereum goes toward the "elliptic curve operation to recover the sender address from the signature" as outlined in the Ethereum Wiki. "elliptic" is composed of elliptic curves filled with the elliptic curve formula defined by the secp256k1 standard used by Ethereum: y^2 % p =(x^3 + 7) % p. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1621974080583-J2DDIZ4NLDALI7IRMB44/seedlock.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out "seedlock" is the 1/1 NFT treasure in the "For Those Who Don't Know" scavenger hunt. It is a visual representation of unlocking an Ethereum account with a mnemonic seed phrase. The lock contains all 2048 possible words in a mnemonic seed phrase as defined by BIP-39. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1622222622747-EKV0JBRZ9QGT42IP9OS6/bank.gif For Those Who Don't Know Collection - Make it stand out Decentralized Finance (Defi) aims to create financial instruments and services entirely governed by smart contracts on the blockchain. "bank" is an homage to Decentralized Finance through the image of an old classical bank composed of code. Specifically, the bank contains the CToken.sol contract source code from the Compound Protocol https://www.x0rart.com/test daily 0.75 2021-07-14 https://www.x0rart.com/consensus daily 0.75 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629470562381-E34XT5FO8SN0HHZAXDDS/SPoRA.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Succinct Proofs of Random Access is the Arweave consensus algorithm. Arweave is a blockweave data structure where blocks reference both the previous block and a random (recall) block. Miners need access to recall blocks to mine a new block and are incentivized to store and quickly access historical data to increase the probability of success and reward. SPoRA represents a miner randomly accessing blocks in a blockweave and is composed of the "ar_poa.erl" source code from the Arweave protocol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629470537383-2QRXC3ECEVBK4O1Y4A85/PoH.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Proof of History is a consensus algorithm for verifying blockchain order and the passage of time. It is a component of the Solana network alongside Solana's PoS consensus. A PoH generator sequentially hashes data where the output of a hashing round is the input to the next hashing round. Appending data into this hashing sequence timestamps the data. PoH represents the verifiable passage of time through an hourglass composed of the "poh_service.rs" source code from the Solana protocol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629253768849-ADB3C7O1AHQDXL0JC7PU/PoW.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Ethash is the Proof of Work consensus algorithm on Ethereum. In Ethash, miners mine blocks by guessing numbers (nonces) and hashing them together with the block header and a randomly generated dataset to create a 32-byte block hash. The block hash must be below a threshold "difficulty" number to successfully mine a block. PoW is a visual representation of Ethash and contains the Ethash source code in "algorithm.go" and "sealer.go" from go-ethereum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629820752442-3SK7UNH7LY920W0GFOPA/gas.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Gas is the transaction fee paid by users interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain. The amount of gas paid in a transaction is calculated based on the computational complexity of the executed smart contract code. Specifically, there is a gas cost for each EVM opcode. For example, storing data in a smart contract using the "SSTORE" opcode costs 20,000 gas. Gas is a visual representation of a gas meter composed of every EVM opcode mapped to its associated gas cost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1630003233639-Q0NCRK7EWF49S0202LQF/gas-war.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629387140478-SZH1F82A41YSGFLHEGC3/PoS.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Proof of Stake is the consensus algorithm on Ethereum 2.0. In PoS, users must stake 32 ETH to become an active validator on the network. For every epoch (32 slots or valid blocks), the network selects a random set of validators to "propose (or produce) blocks or attest (or vote on) the validity of already produced blocks." The scale is composed of the "deposit.go", "attest.go", and "propose.go" source code from Prysm ETH 2.0 and represents the staking of value on the network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/1629470510775-LJBWHBTYI19NDH1OR0XY/PoA.gif Consensus - Make it stand out Clique is the Proof of Authority consensus algorithm on the Rinkeby testnet. In Clique, only an approved list of signers can produce/seal blocks. The approved signer list is dynamic and current signers can vote to add or remove other members. For this reason, PoA emphasizes the importance of identity and reputation in the network. PoA is a visual reputation of Clique as x0r's fingerprint, signifying identity, composed of the "clique.go" and "snapshot.go" source code from go-ethereum. https://www.x0rart.com/gas-burn daily 0.75 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/98ea9beb-9619-4fa6-9f62-a4f23f9496c8/blockspace.gif Gas Burn - Make it stand out In EIP-1559, the base gas fee of every transaction is burned. As a result, if gas fees are high and there is significant network demand, the network may produce deflationary blocks. This means more ETH is being burned than created/rewarded to a miner. Additionally, block space is flexible and adjusts accordingly with network demand. There is an average block size of 15 Million gas used and a max gas limit of 30 Million. Blockspace is a visual representation of variable block size composed of deflationary block numbers until block #13787495. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/7c449b9e-f879-4a22-a4ec-e035bf5f5d08/ultrasound.gif Gas Burn - Make it stand out The crypto community often refers to ETH as ultrasound money due to its underlying economic properties. Specifically, in EIP-1559, the base gas fee of every transaction is burned. As a result, if gas fees are high and there is significant network demand, ETH can become a deflationary asset (more ETH is burned than mined). Ultrasound is a homage to the bat and sonar emojis used by the crypto community symbolizing ETH as ultrasound money and is composed of EIP-1559 source code from go-ethereum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/97793c27-f8b7-473d-a3eb-e28cea46f8dc/miner_tip.gif Gas Burn - Make it stand out In EIP-1559, every transaction fee is composed of both a base fee and a miner tip. The base fee is burned, and the miner tip is paid to a block's miner. The miner tip equals the gas used in a transaction * minimum(miner tip, fee cap - base fee). The miner tip is essentially a small bribe to miners in order to incentivize the inclusion of transactions with the largest tip into a block. "Miner Tip" is a visual representation of an ETH tip between users and miners with the ETH symbol containing the exact miner tip formula code from go-ethereum. https://www.x0rart.com/gary-v-x-x0r-x-tiktok daily 0.75 2021-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/faf2fe0a-893a-46ba-9197-627e88fdbefe/rent-free.gif Gary V x x0r x TikTok - Make it stand out We are constantly consuming videos, photos, comments, and likes. There are times where you inevitably see media that cannot be forgotten. "Rent Free" features a silhouette of Gary V with a thought bubble containing all TikTok handles who commented on the viral Jess Marciante clip about videos that live in your head rent-free. Additionally, Gary's face is composed of the VeeFriends ERC-721 smart contract address on the Ethereum blockchain. https://www.x0rart.com/content daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://www.x0rart.com/mev-army-1 daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/a720309b-b8fb-4c09-80a5-fc76a54f76fb/mev_army.gif MEV Army - Make it stand out MEV Army is a collection of shadowy super coders lurking in the Ethereum dark forest, ready to exploit transactions. MEV, as initially defined by Phil Daian in Flash Boys 2.0, stands for Miner Extractable Value. MEV is additional value captured by miners who censor and reorder transactions in blocks they produce. Each member of the MEV Army is composed of the original transaction ordering code from go-ethereum. Miners are not the only 'players' who can capture MEV; they include transaction searchers, liquidators, sandwichers, backrunners, time-bandits, and generalized frontrunners are scattered throughout the dark forest. These represent some of the traits in the MEV Army Collection. https://www.x0rart.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2022-05-07 https://www.x0rart.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-06-04 https://www.x0rart.com/hardin daily 0.75 2022-05-26 https://www.x0rart.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-04 https://www.x0rart.com/proof-of-merge daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/9cb02ffb-a1cf-40e6-b8b6-cb0000c7cf9e/ezgif.com-gif-maker+%284%29.gif Proof of Merge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.x0rart.com/voyage-to-the-moon daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/0787f8d0-a861-4e56-9435-416e384ab9f3/ezgif.com-gif-maker+%285%29.gif Voyage to the Moon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6071da4ff95b952de10f4d4c/573478ee-84c2-44b4-8c57-ae2bb3546dad/Screenshot+2023-04-09+at+6.19.19+PM.png Voyage to the Moon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
