Andrew here, this is a guest post created by my friend Takens Theorem who is the genius behind the data-driven art masterpieces known as Ethstory. The final NFT release for Ethstory is this Friday and I wanted to give Takens a platform to discuss the project. The passion and thought that goes into every one of these pieces are astonishing and actually make me in awe of how someone can be so inspired by a blockchain protocol. Its true believers like Takens that turn this technological paradigm into a true movement that will impact all aspects of our lives.
Obviously, I am biased because I have helped Takens with this project and have purchased pieces from him but I highly suggest you check it out. 16 originals in 110 editions and with the final set of NFTs relating this Friday @ 5pm ET. I promote this because Takens heart is in the right place, he has made some incredible works AND the proceeds of the primary sale go to charity!! He is not even doing this for money which I find actually quite shocking (because he could have made a lot). Also if you enjoy his work then give him a follow on Twitter.

These successes are also a social achievement. The community surrounding Ethereum is just as important as its Turing-complete technical specification. What drew me deep into the rabbit hole in 2018 was the early NFT community. Meandering various Dapps with a freshly setup MetaMask felt like installing an early mod onto my reality. The notion of digital ownership, amidst all the other stuff built on Ethereum, seemed like an alluring, amorphous upgrade to everything I was doing on the Internet.
In all of this fun, I could not stop thinking about history. Despite the aggressively futurist orientation of public blockchain, it also contains a robust signature of the past. A public blockchain encodes its complete history, accessible to all. Inside this history are data that can describe the micro and the macro, from individual wallets to mass-scale transaction dynamics across an entire digital ecosystem. The data summon you to look back. Right now, without any cost to you except a click, you can jump into the amazing Etherscan and peruse the transactions emanating from the very first wallets on Ethereum. You wonder who they are, what they were up to. Of course, lots of these wallets sent their spoils straight into Kraken 1. Manyhodled. And others generated a meshwork of transactions revealing what was to come: DAO, ICO, DeFi, NFTs, and so on. From this vantage point, blockchain is just as exhilarating as a study of its own history.
Since those early posts, I took to sharing visualizations on Twitter. These visualizations often contained flavors of history. I was asked to make NFTs out of these sorts of visualizations. With the lure of history always hovering, I accepted the challenge. Ethstory was born of a Steinwoldian GENESIS.
Carved with data. As much as possible, everything should be data-driven. Only in rare cases did I depart from generating a visual directly from data, and use aesthetics untethered from it. The originals should be carved out of data. I almost veered from this principle once and solicited helpful feedback from Andrew Steinwold. He reminded me of the principle that the data should speak to the history as much as possible.
Here is an illustration of some themes from originals in Ethstory. As noted above, the idea is to have visual themes cut across pieces, so that major elements of Ethereum are conveyed by these themes.
Those who supported Ethstory supported important charities. I thank owners of the pieces. Thanks also to Andrew Steinwold and Sfermion for stewarding this project. Though they offered guidance to the project and are holding a complete series of Ethstory, they contributed ether for the charitable endeavor, too.
This post explains Ethstory, an NFT project that describes Ethereum\u2019s history through data visualization. Ethstory has a charitable goal. 100% of all initial sales are going to charity. Links to transactions into public addresses for charities can be found here. Series 4, the final series, will be released as an OpenSea auction this Friday, April 30th at 5pm NYC time. All proceeds to charity.
Ethereum is amazing. You don\u2019t even have to like Ethereum to have this opinion. Just take in some cold, dispassionate facts. Ethereum now serves as a base layer for trillions of US dollars of yearly transacted value across diverse projects that are all built upon it: autonomous organizations, decentralized finance, digital ownership, identity and name services, and more. Yet, its mainnet is not 6 years old. And while we wait for it to evolve into Eth2, it is doing all of this on barely 20 transactions per second.
My favorite thing about Ethereum, and public blockchain in general, is its treasure trove of data. In 2019, I wrote a couple of blog posts for the wonderful OpenSea. One showed that we can predict ENS name value from applied natural language processing. Another blog post described an experimental NFT recommender system. I created a series of experimental data-driven interfaces, many of them for NFTs. I also contributed a diagram to OpenSea\u2019s great NFT Bible, illustrating how wallets own across NFT projects.
Ethstory is a study of Ethereum\u2019s history using data visualization. These visualizations are issued as 4 series of 4 NFTs (16 total originals in 110 editions), illustrating successive periods of Ethereum\u2019s past. You could call these visualizations art, if you wish. But I am not an artist; by trade, I am a sort of data scientist. You could also describe Ethstory\u2019s visualizations as \u201Cstealth infographs,\u201D in that they look like an artistic production but they are rendered entirely from on-chain and other data. Because they are rendered entirely from data, each element of Ethstory\u2019s visualizations is a vector object. So I also issued them as vector-quality PDFs that only owners can access via OpenSea\u2019s unlock feature. (PDFs are encrypted and stored on IPFS, and OpenSea gives owners a password to decrypt them.)
Charity. I\u2019m of modest means, but I am indeed very lucky to be able to work from home during such difficult times. I decided to devote all auctioned pieces to charity, and to focus on charities that help those most in need. Thanks to public blockchain, you can peruse the outgoing ETH from the project\u2019s wallet and see which charities have been supported. (So far, over 20 ETH have been donated to such initiatives as GiveDirectly, GiveWell, India Covid-Crypto Relief Fund, Heifer International, and more.)
Simple, integrated themes. I decided to focus on fundamentals \u2014 white vs. yellow papers, clients, transaction graphs, token projects, and so on. Ethstory should be understandable by someone new to Ethereum, but (I hope) intriguing enough for an old hand to take interest. The data should be laid out in such a way that these fundamentals should emerge from a description of each piece. Although each visualization is distinct, they are motivated by a set of themes used throughout the originals so that Ethstory is more like an integrated set rather than a bundle of independent pieces. 152ee80cbc
