‘A Money Tree from the Cedar Tavern’ (Dynamic NFT on Async)
The Async.art NFT minter + marketplace is where you can create dynamic artworks (art or music). These are pieces that alter or update according to external events like night and day, hourly changes etc. And there are more templates to come. I’ve ‘planted’ one photo-artwork I’m happy with, changing every hour, with relative ease.
Also, you can create ‘Blueprints’, which is an easy tool to organise and sell more numerous pieces (and where creators can include rarity values etc. and sell more of one layer than another, plus the master image, as in a photoshop image). This also allows a collector/buyer to own a piece, and select how that piece will look from some different layers included. Remember to factor in Ethereum gas fee (at time of writing).
Login to Async.art can be via web3. Once accepted onto the platform, creatives can use their Async Canvas option to access templates, which are pretty straightforward. They make the process of creating multi-layered artworks much easier. It’s going to be exciting to see new templates appear that might, for example, respond to price fluctuation in cryptocurrencies, weather patterns etc. It’s where we can see digital artwork displayed around our homes (perhaps via a Meural frame) become even more interesting, useful (indicative of external events) and of course, properly owned…
