Let's talk about Ethereum gas fees ⛽️

We've noticed the impact high ETH gas fees are having on generative artists & collectors. Skyrocketing costs of using Ethereum mean many artists can't mint projects & collectors pay more in gas than for the art itself.

This is neither sustainable nor healthy for the broader adoption of blockchains for digital art, and it certainly serves to hold the generative art space back from its peak potential 🏔️

But what are the alternatives?

We love living on @tezos for a reason 🏡

Minimal gas fees (measured in cents, not hundreds of dollars) empower a thriving ecosystem that nurtures experimentation, expression, & creative freedom.

& that's on top of on-chain governance + smooth, low-latency user experience.

@tezos Tezos' scalable, low-cost transactional environment means web3 blockchain interactions (i.e., minting & collecting art) can be part of your everyday life instead of rare, costly events you have to save up for 💸

We encourage everyone, especially those affected by ETH gas costs, to explore the vibrant, open and affordable generative art space our platform offers.

With nearly two million unique artworks minted and countless projects available to collect, there's so much to discover 🔎
