📚 Fully On-Chain SVG NFTs — Part 2: ERC-721 NFT Contract
We have released the second tutorial of our 4 part series of creating on-chain SVG NFTs. Eto Vass has explained how to take our SVG outputs and mint them as NFTs. This is an in-depth guide. For those interested in going through we will potentially have some prizes for creators who can deploy their generative art projects. Huge shout out to Eto Vass and Alien Runes for making this happen.

⭐️ Featured Projects
New projects (full archive) featured on Fully On Chain.
Speedtracer 🚥
Speedtracer is a daily casual game that uses fully on-chain generated tracks and challenges users to trace the day’s track as quickly as they can. Holders can edit the shape of their track, place signage around it, and earn ETH from players who mint Race Result NFTs.
Glitch Study #1.3: Schematica
With Schematica typo.eth wanted to see how far they could take architectural abstraction while maintaining a modest amount of aesthetic/enigmatic appeal.
Fragmented Memories
From 0xdiid, Fragmented Memories is a series of 10 cross-chain, on-chain, and physical triptychs that will challenge the way you think about the past & invite you to explore the present. So far two have been minted and I can’t wait to see the next outputs!
Metadate/a
Metadatea is an on-chain interactive experiment. Holders will have access to the smART Engine which allows participants to create art from inputs within certain constraints. Each output is influenced by system UI fonts and allows users to edit various elements including the metadata which reflects on the marketplace traits. Every day we interact with letters, numbers and symbols, they’re all embedded at the core of everything. This experience uses them in a creative way to create and tell a story. Very cool stuff! Be sure to check them out!

Artblocks puts p5js 1.0.0 on chain
Artblocks makes more steps to going fully on chain by putting p5js 1.0.0 on chain. AB is still currently not fully on chain yet but this is another step in the right direction. If they can get a scripty wrapper around their projects then we can call it fully on chain!
