Network Use Cases

Drops

  Sounds cool @[tito] like a QR to take a pic then submit a transaction which updates a piece with image? Love it, that sounds unique and not sure it's been tried! Lots of community projects of sorts but the image line with "bounty station" would be pretty nifty.

  • tito Reply 2026-06-08 00:54:03.607000

    yeah I've been looking at how to do a mural for my next meme card, and there's this whole thing about murals changing over time, being painted over, edited. one idea is you could setup the bounty so it grows over time, and incentivize for example annual updates
• takenstheorem 2026-05-03 02:46:31.836000

  Performances of various kinds? Collective activities somehow? New sorts of POAPs?

  • tito Reply 2026-05-29 03:30:56.378000

    My latest meme submission is for a mural. I wonder if you could do something interesting like periodically update the art on the NFT with a real photo of the mural and have a bounty system set up to do that.
• takenstheorem 2026-05-03 02:46:13.846000

  Games the obvious case, though they are well attested on chain too.
• takenstheorem 2026-05-03 02:46:06.363000

  Have you or others thought about new use cases?
• takenstheorem 2026-05-03 02:45:59.858000

  What new formats could there be, @[tito] @[eddie] et al.? Wondering about new use cases. What twists or spins could we render on a new standard, new format, new process new ideas... wondering about something beyond 721's and 1155's and so on.

  I created an AirMiners Wave here for anyone interested in reversing climate change, will invite my community here: https://6529.io/my-stream?wave=2966b901-87df-44c4-ad5b-2bf3b172234a

    Sorry have been slammed at work and fell off from tracking your activities. the wave links me to a 404
• tito 2025-10-12 16:49:23.646000

  I've been thinking about this whole thing of network art, and what it would be like to bring the AirMiners reversing climate change community that tooling. Perhaps we could do a PFP collection or something. Have you seen any PFP/cryptoart collections that were made mostly for an existing community/network?

    wow this is incredible. is there way to filter it to just 6529 network activity?

    • takenstheorem Reply 2025-10-12 14:17:58.004000

      If you go to the latest block range, it's based on a busy time for the 6529 contract and you can turn on labels and see lots of familiar usernames. :) Here's the site: https://takenstheorem.github.io/entangl3d/

      • tito Reply 2025-10-12 16:48:47.249000

        Thanks for the recommendation, this looks really good. - I added the labels with names, turned up maximum opacity and colorful. - I like the first block in that most recent set, only had 22 transactions which makes it a easier to understand. Is the line that goes off to the left infinitely sending to the burn address perhaps? - Oh does this cover a 6529 mint? I see a lot of people's names for several blocks in a row - I'm curious about adding in pictures of the NFTs - Reminds me of sorting through vinyl in a record shop, or the old cards view in Mac OS/iTunes The slices also remind me of what CPUs look like up close:

    The CO2 data attestation was a success with over 1M TDH, curious for your thoughts on the process we ended up using and any suggestions you have for this project!

  @[david] heard anything back from your person?
• tito 2025-09-04 17:19:50.525000

  I checked out the Wave functions, it looks straightforward to setup: - Start a new Wave - Run voting for 2 weeks - Two drops: yes it's all valid, no it's not - Invite people to participate Let's try it! I'll set it up.
• tito 2025-08-30 15:34:39.111000

  @[punk6529] comments welcome on using a Wave to attest a scientific dataset!
• tito 2025-08-30 15:33:28.945000

  One of the things about the CO2 dataset I posted is there's no signature for the original NOAA dataset. For example when you download a copy of Linux you can check that the hash signature of the file matches the hash signature listed on the Linux website to confirm that it's the real file. Imagine I made a mistake or maliciously modified the dataset before putting it on the blcokchain! I'm looking for us to create an attestation process together. There would be two functions: Moderator: Serves a neutral moderator for some bounty, to pay attesters. Attester: People to be awarded to verify the 67 data points match and to do an attestation on Ethereum and earn a bounty. “The data in contract 0x123 matches NOAA as of 08/30/2025”. Ideally, these are people with public ENS names and with high REP. Does something like this already exist that we can use? This also reminds me of what Waves are. Could we do it as a Wave? Vote would be on "The data posted to the blockchain is valid as of 08/30/2025". Thoughts @[baiwei] @[david] @[takenstheorem]

  • david Reply 2025-08-30 20:28:28.208000

    I’ll ask someone I know who will have some thoughts on this

    • tito Reply 2025-09-13 16:12:39.440000

      following up here, what do you think about the way I'm going about attesting the dataset using a Wave? The first Wave I made only reached 25,000 TDH, and I had defined that it needed a minimum of 1M TDH total. I'm making a new one to try again.
• tito 2025-08-28 23:57:59.666000

  Here's more context on the L1 contract we made as part of the piece: http://6529.io/my-stream?wave=b6128077-ea78-4dd9-b381-52c4eadb2077&serialNo=292390

  I teamed up with my artist friend Purin on the art. Here's what we made (low res so it fits into this chat but submission will be higher resolution) Title: Gas Wars
• tito 2025-08-25 22:08:21.732000

  @[baiwei] check out what we did!
• tito 2025-08-25 21:56:48.047000

  Have any 6529 Meme Cards included a link to onchain data besides Arweave? I'm wondering about including a contract address in the info section.
• david 2025-08-25 03:50:27.140000

  Not bad
• david 2025-08-25 03:50:20.044000

  Cost you $2.45. Is this all the data?

  • tito Reply 2025-08-25 21:55:08.318000

    it's the dataset of yearly averages, rather than daily. so daily data would cost roughly $900 at 0.2 Gwei
• tito 2025-08-25 02:46:07.547000

  you can play with it on Etherscan here, for example getAll() returns all the CO2 readings. getLatest returns the latest one, This also gives me the ability to push new datapoints as they become available. And inspired by Cryptopunks I also included a command to "seal" the dataset and close off any more writes, in case that's ever needed. https://etherscan.io/address/0xa2B5D4926E62Defa4BfeB409C8560432dDf5b355#readContract
• tito 2025-08-25 02:40:02.279000

  Hey I got the data onchain! @[david] @[takenstheorem] @[maybe] We have a contract up and running on mainnet with the yearly mean datapoints for CO2 levels. The contract can query the latest datapoint, lookup the CO2 reading for any year, and even pull the approximate year given a CO2 level as an input. https://etherscan.io/address/0xa2b5d4926e62defa4bfeb409c8560432ddf5b355

  • takenstheorem Reply 2025-08-25 14:05:44.459000

    Nicely done! Perusing, seems like an elegant, clear contract & see your first push here. :)

    • tito Reply 2025-08-25 21:55:47.480000

      thanks for taking a look!
• tito 2025-08-24 03:29:35.127000

  First things first, 67 years of daily global CO2 data is now on Arweave: http://arweave.net/R3TZax912cjuRc8N3Ms37tZGNxwi9ObXI9gHmoW2fxA
• tito 2025-08-24 02:31:47.321000

  @[david] thanks for suggesting Forge I am having a blast. I've got the Cryptopunks contract running locally, minted my own Punk 6529. Now I'm playing with my own contract.
• tito 2025-08-23 04:28:53.020000

  Reading about Metrix, it sounds like putting into a contract onchain is the way to go with this, even if it's downsampled having it onchain opens up lots of possibilities. I'm curious if you have suggestions for how to proceed with doing this technically. The data is a bunch of tuples, YYYYMMDD and CO2 level (2 digit precision, i.e. 420.69). David suggested Forge as a tool for testing and estimating so I'm exploring that.
• tito 2025-08-23 04:21:52.820000

  That's a good idea about downsampling to monthly. In terms of the financial part of it, 0.15 ETH to me seems acceptable for getting full CO2 data onchain. If that works for daily that will be good, especially because that's the dataset used in the meme card, and otherwise monthly would be a way to cut the dataset down by 90%!
• tito 2025-08-23 04:19:18.330000

  It's like a mirror for the Bitcoin blockchain itself
• takenstheorem 2025-08-23 03:41:37.210000

  In the raw inscription, in the HTML, I have an array of numerics that represent the data - but I downsampled it to monthly data.

• takenstheorem 2025-08-23 03:41:07.100000

  My "Metrix" project downsampled Bitcoin's metric history and stored it in an ordinal inscription -- so it was totally stored on chain. In case it's of interest:

  • tito Reply 2025-08-23 04:18:34.878000

    This is cool! So now that it's totally onchain, that means other contracts can call from the data?
• tito 2025-08-22 23:36:28.738000

  At this point I'm at "0.15 seems like a cool experiment let's do it in contract storage", mostly held up on the coding. Gut check from @[takenstheorem] would be helpful.

  • takenstheorem Reply 2025-08-23 03:40:31.315000

    0.15 ETH is the cost for encoding? For something like this data, I'd do off chain... one possibility is to downsample the data and then use compute (JS or something else) to reconstitute the data (e.g., interpolation). Could probably downsample by 90% or more and keep the general trend in the data consistent. Two more cents!
• tito 2025-08-22 23:31:28.942000

  agree, though that's the calldata estimate. Looks like 0.15 for contract data which is also totally doable too, as long as we can spot some cheap gas fees before the prices go nuts.
• david 2025-08-22 20:25:11.060000

  you could even build a little javascript sdk for accessing the data and maybe store all that js onchain or something. I would ask gpt what they think about something like that. how to make the data the most useful. maybe you need to store it in a certain way onchain. idk

  • tito Reply 2025-08-22 23:33:03.046000

    I'm short on examples here. I'm reading up on how contracts that use the Cryptopunks data onchain, either the SVG or the trading data itself.
• david 2025-08-22 20:24:03.073000

  I would say that if you can add helpers to the data to make it more digestible that would be great. Also how is the data to be maintained moving forward, if at all?

  • tito Reply 2025-08-22 23:32:29.455000

    yes would love inputs on making the data digestable. Maintenance, there's a case for keeping the data updated at regular intervals, assuming the contract can be designed for that. Good idea.
• tito 2025-08-22 13:57:32.876000

  I'm also curious for input from @[arsonic] and other artists about how valuable it would be as an artist to have scientific data accessible onchain.
• tito 2025-08-22 13:34:10.231000

  @[maybe] @[david] here's an idea, imagine we use the Meme Card process to make this CO2 data into a public good, available on the blockchain in a way that's accessible to other contracts/projects. i.e. "if the meme is selected then the data goes on up on L1", almost like a kickstarter project for data accessibility. What do you think?

  • david Reply 2025-08-22 20:23:29.830000

    why wait for the card to be selected. the price is only 0.01 ETH
• tito 2025-08-22 06:16:35.138000

  (And greatly appreciate the thread from Yigit Duman on off-chain art. I'll be playing with that for another project with my dad's artworks.)
• tito 2025-08-22 04:31:26.963000

  Looks like the code breaks it up into around 73x 12kb chunks. It says 217,000 gas per chunk, about 15M gas. I may be off in what that translates to (1 Gwei = 1 gas currently) but https://www.alchemy.com/gwei-calculator suggests it's 0.01 ETH total.

• david 2025-08-22 04:15:45.886000

  Just try encoding the data as hexadecimal string and see how much it is to store that on Ethereum
• tito 2025-08-22 04:14:11.585000
