fxhash’s code of conduct

At fxhash, we are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. We aim to create a fair and safe environment for both artists and collectors. By being a part of our community, you agree to adhere to the following code of conduct:

Remember that fxhash is a shared space where everyone deserves to feel safe and valued. By abiding by this code of conduct, you contribute to creating a welcoming and supportive community for all. Beyond this there are a specific guidelines when it comes to creating and collecting projects on fxhash.

Art and artistic expression is at the core of our fxhash. We believe that each artist has the potential to contribute unique and inspiring generative artworks to the collective body of work on fxhash. By putting forth your best effort and committing to excellence in your craft, you not only elevate your individual skills but also enrich the entire community. Here's what this commitment entails.

Your creative output has the power to influence and inspire others. By putting in the effort to create meaningful and impactful generative artworks, you contribute positively to the overall atmosphere of the community. Your work can serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement for fellow artists.

At fxhash we apply a broader definition to generative work to encompass any and all procedural, parametric and generative work which uses fxrand() at its core. This saves philosophical arguments about taxonomy.

Ideally, all work released on FXHash should adhere to the spirit of the platform in that it should be generative and use a deterministic approach to randomness. Ideally, work should produce the same result given the same transaction hash. This means ensuring that you’re using fxrand() for random number generation and that you’re careful to use the same set of random numbers when the artwork is redrawn.

Ideally, every project on fxhash should be unique in design and code - if you find yourself inspired by someone else’s work and want to create something similar, ensure that your work transformative enough and evolves the inspiring concept into something new.

There is a great deal of nuance to this and artworks, with their code and descriptions, will be taken into consideration before action is taken.

Generative projects can use textures and images in a number of different ways, the simplest of these being layering randomly selected PNGs on top of each other, most commonly seen in PFP projects. These projects are acceptable and welcomed on fxhash but some communication guidelines must be followed to ensure that collectors know what they’re getting when they collect your token.

The methods used to generate these projects must be described thoroughly in the description section of the project and the appropriate tags must be used (ex. PNG, layered PNG, etc.). Labeling them simply as “generative” or “created with p5js/js/etc.” is not acceptable and will be considered misleading language. The language for these projects must include a reference to them being “generative layered pngs” or something similar.

A good rule of thumb when putting together a description of your token is that there is no such thing as too much communication of the core ideas and methodologies involved in your token. The more a collector knows about the underlying principles of your token the more comfortable they’re going to feel collecting it.

If you’re struggling with how to describe your artwork, the bare minimum you need to include, if your artwork is made of layered PNGs chosen at random is: This artwork is made by layering PNGs chosen at random.

The scheduling feature is provided as a means to refresh your project's settings and have it appear back at the top of the list. Resheduling should only be used under the following circumstances:

If you're unsure of whether you meet these requirements and want to reschedule your token, please reach out to @fxhash team on Discord.

Advantaged buyers are considered those who have tools they have built themselves, or purchased from others, that give them an algorithmic advantage and automated buying capabilities from primary markets or secondary markets. This is colloquially referred to as botting and like in many communities, is considered taboo.

At fxhash, there is inbuilt anti-botting mechanisms included in the contracts to combat this behaviour. Small scale botting is allowed but is highly discouraged.

Attempts at market manipulation are taken extremely seriously and will not be accepted. Due to the nature of the blockchain, and methods and tools developed by the team, it is possible for us to thread together transactions (even across marketplaces) in order to create a strong, evidence based, case against a user.
