i am very vocal about my distaste towards the idea of "abstract away the blockchain". an idea, mostly propagated by those freshly arrived from web 2.0 that threatens to undermine the very ethos of crypto.

crypto is a new paradigm, it needs to be seen and understood, not buried behind abstractions. it is a “strong” technology with core features that are unique, attempting to hide them away does a disservice to all the promise it holds.

time is a magnifier of a token’s onchain provenance.

just as time adds layers to the story and value of a physical artifact, it similarly amplifies the provenance of nfts.

origin

every token has a distinct immutable lineage. this is the magic of onchain provenance, a chain of history that is authentic and certain. a type of storytelling ensured by cryptographic signatures. the true value of an artifact lies in its unmistakable connection to its creator.

time solidifies origins.
