The longevity of many NFT projects is a real problem. This is why we set out to create the Smarts platform. The platform combines smart contracts with generative arts (smart arts, abbreviated into Smarts). Smarts is a new platform where the entirety of the artwork is stored in, and computed from smart contracts with no external dependencies at all. No IPFS, no Arweave, no APIs, no baseURI, no p5js, etc. So all Smarts artworks will live as long as Ethereum itself.

However, the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) has some severe limitations for smart contracts - less than 25kb, no floating point math, limited gas amount for each invocation. So this makes it an interesting coding challenge to create smart contract based arts, it’s bearing some similarities to the demoscene.

We haven't launched yet, but you can check it out the work in progress here: https://smarts.is/
