PROOF OF {ART}WORK

Interactive, software-based art and one of the very first NFT collections to deviate from simple image and video formats.

PROOF OF {ART}WORK pieces are mathematical entities resulting from a simple equation: zn -> {zn}^2 + z0

These NFTs aren't images, but explorable galaxies of millions of points plotted onto 2D space. PO{A}W uses bespoke software to explore these on-demand, inspired by the logic underpinning Google Maps.

PO{A}W is an early example of an on-chain NFT collection, with token IDs representing unique z0 values for the equation above. As aesthetically pleasing IDs are rare and must be found at random, their discovery can be considered akin to blockchain mining—with a reward of an artistic proof.
