Issue #8
Yo! Gm! Welcome to the inaugural 2024 edition of the Fully On Chain newsletter! As we embark on this new year I'm excited to bring you the latest and greatest in on-chain art. Reflecting on a fantastic 2023, we are grateful for the community that has grown with us, engaging in artist collaborations, exciting giveaways, and insightful interviews. Looking ahead, this year will continue to be brimming with creativity, innovation, and fun in the world of on-chain art. I’m eager to continue this fun art journey together. I have plans to release several projects, website updates, and more on-chain content in 2024. As a subscriber to the newsletter, you'll (of course) be the first to learn about new projects. With that said, grab your favorite cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into this newest issue! ☕️🎨⛓
Daniel Todd Collaboration
I’m happy to announce a collaboration with artist Daniel Todd. We have worked together to take one of his animated SVGs and turn it into an expansive generative art collection. We are reserving 20 pieces for newsletter subscribers and will have more for sale to the public. Keep an eye on our twitter for more news soon.

Featured Projects
New projects (full archive) featured on Fully On Chain.
Ittybits
Ittybits are an homage to Cryptopunks. Each rendition of the original 10k Punks are reduced down and rendered on a 12x12 pixel grid. What makes them really interesting is that they are stored on the Etherscriptions protocol. Check out this interview with the project creator Jeremy.eth.
Rainscapes
Our friend Tokenfox has created Rainscapes, a beautiful collection of 64 on-chain artworks depicting generative rain. Each individual Rainscape token collects recent block hashes and distills them into raindrops from its token hash.

You Are Here
You Are Here is a minimalistic, on-chain conceptual generative art collection by the artist 0xfff. You Are Here innovatively employs bridging across EVM-based blockchains to create a unique narrative. Each token’s journey across different networks leaves a visual trace, and displays the history of its journey across chains. This project, using LayerZero tech for seamless bridging, not only showcases artistic creativity but also celebrates the ever-advancing blockchain technology.
City Parks
City Parks is a fun project from yungwknd that was created in October of 2021. This collection is based on the 1,700 parks, playgrounds, and recreation facilities across the five boroughs of New York City.
