The $FXH protocol is a powerful foundation for creating, collecting, and evolving generative art in ways that push artistic potential to new levels.
The protocol powers art coins: art-driven currencies that unlock a new medium called open-form generative art.
We’ve had long-form. We’ve had short-form.
Now, fxhash introduces open-form: a dynamic, evolving, participatory medium where the artwork is shaped in real time—by both artists and collectors.
This isn’t just a feature. It’s a new medium.
→ MINT — generate a new edition
→ RE-ROLL — burn and mint again
→ LOCK — freezing an edition locks in traits + turns it into a seed
→ EVOLVE — generate new editions from a locked seed
Every locked edition becomes a seed—a source from which others can evolve. Evolutions generate mint fees shared across the lineage.
Great seeds earn. The better your curation, the more others build on it.
Each open-form collection runs on an art coin—an ERC20 cryptocurrency that can represent a project, a series, or your entire body of work. Art coins are not memecoins, shitcoins, or content coins.
Unlike other coins, art coins are intrinsically connected to the artwork at a contract level. They are meaningful forms of currency for art collections that blur the lines between art, finance, and utility.
Use one art coin across the years, or launch a fresh art coin with each idea. Projects launched with art coins can evolve, their codebases can be updated, and they can stay open indefinitely.
Art coins are built for how artists actually work. They enable interaction at scale, unlock new value around your work, and grow with your practice.
Art coins turn interaction into income—for artists, collectors, and traders alike. When your art moves people, it moves coins.
When people engage
mint fees go to the artist
evolutions pay fees to the seed lineage
locked seeds burn coins, decreasing supply
coin trades generate fees—shared with the artist
This means
artists earn from mints, evolutions, and coin trading activity
collectors earn by locking seeds others want to evolve from
traders speculate on art coins tied to active, growing collections
– Collectors: re-roll, lock, evolve—every choice can shape the art and move the market
– Artists: release systems, not static drops—and earn from every layer of interaction
– Traders: speculate on coins tied to projects with real usage and visibility
– Everyone: a market shaped by creative action—not gatekeeping
