Created At

NFTHack 2022

Project Description

This was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinary levels, with the major acceleration starting in 1634 and then dramatically collapsing in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history.

I want to reproduce this concept in the modern era, using the latest art and technology concepts to create beautiful tulips. Also solving some of the new century problems like low levels of concentration through gamification and token incentives.

How it's Made

Design tools

Adobe Illustrator CC 2020

FontBase

Coding tools

Node.js, to run the art-generation script

Jimp, image processing library, to manipulate colors, sizes, and more, think of it as the Photoshop for coding Then I used NFTStorage to upload the NFT data off-chain in a securely and resiliently way.
