A thread (1/13) on why Spawn Art is building on @SecretNetwork (and no other chain can come close to matching what SN provides). 
2/ Background: native support for encrypted data and state in secret contracts means that #nfts on @SecretNetwork can have both public and private metadata, and nft ownership and transactions are private. #SecretNFTs
3/ On other blockchains if you buy and sell an #nft, those transactions are visible to ANYONE. But it is even worse than that--they can see everything you have ever done and will do on that chain.
4/ Imagine going to your local market. Before you enter, you must hand over your credit card history, bank statements, and everyone in your contacts. Thanks, that information is public now. Oh and we'll also be following every transaction you make from now on and forever.
5/ On public chains, any data inside the nft is also visible to everyone. Sure, you “own” the token, but you don't control the information.
6/ Private metadata refers to on-chain data that is only visible to the owner of the nft. In #SecretNFTs this can include the decryption key for image files stored on persistent storage. It can also include access mechanisms for all kinds of other ecosystems.
7/ For Spawn Art, private metadata means we can provide a number of features that would simply be impossible on any other chain. This includes high-resolution vector graphics and multiple image renders for one nft that are only accessible to the owner.
8/ Spawn Art aims for the highest artistic standard, but Spawn are not simply works of visual art. We are building *exclusive interactivity* with the nfts that only the owner can experience. Interacting with the NFT, owners can play games, solve puzzles, and unlock new features.
9/ NFTs are also about community-- in a sense Web3 is the greatest alternate reality game of all time. Privacy is often talked about in individual terms, but it is also about the right of a community to be autonomous and define its own culture. #NFTCommunity
10/ Beyond interacting with your own NFTs, owning a Spawn will provide access to a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted community hive. Interaction with the community is an integral part of what we are building.
11/ Perhaps the most exciting aspect is how community-building and private content can intersect. Many games are based on a group of people making strategic decisions on incomplete information. These games can be competitive, collaborative, or a mix of the two. #GameTheory
12/ In the end, Spawn Art will be a kind of meta-game where members of the community can choose to compete or collaborate, using incomplete information from their private NFTs, to solve challenges that can benefit the entire community as well as the individuals involved.
13/ Spawn Art is a creative, artistic project and it is also an experiment to push the envelope on what NFTs could be with programmable privacy.
