Cognitive Canvas, so many firsts...
  • The first open generative art platform on Ethereum.
  • If you understand fxhash and fxparams, you'll get Cognitive Canvas. It's like fxparams on steroids - and on Ethereum.
  • The first and only generative art platform on Ethereum with live minting.
  • Mints from the same collection can exist on Ethereum or Bitcoin Ordinals.
  • The first and only generative art platform that allows integration of AI and other assets into the minting process.
Live Minting

You can build live minting experiences quickly and easily - without restriction!

Minters can participate in the minting process as designed by the artist.

All mints can be customized and configured by the minter when allowed by the artist. See Live Minting and Publishing for more information.

Generative Art

Cognitive Canvas is the only open platform for creating generative art on Ethereum. If you are familiar with fxhash, then you'll be right at home on Cognitive Canvas.

Cognitive Canvas is similar to fxhash in many ways, making the transition to Ethereum easy and seamless. Cognitive Canvas greatly improves the generative art experience for both artists and collectors.

Direct to Bitcoin Ordinals

Collections are created on Ethereum, but you can enable the transfer of mints in your collections to run as Bitcoin Ordinals.

If the owner of the mint so desires, they can 'transfer' the NFT to Bitcoin and it will run as a Bitcoin Ordinal. See Bitcoin Ordinals.

Modern, Royalty Protected NFTs

Cognitive Canvas includes all the recently developed royalty protection features.

Royalties have been under attack on Ethereum by a number of new players attempting to disrupt markets. Most of the new markets are free riders using artists work to make a quick buck via wash trading, an alt coin, and farming incentives.

In response, a royalty protection scheme was developed by OpenSea which blacklists certain sites. It is called the operator filter registry, and all Cognitive Canvas NFTs are automatically registered and enabled with the default registry settings.

We also include EIP2981, which is an on chain royalty calculation mechansim supported by many markets.

Royalties are always protected now and into the future.

AI Integrated Generative Art

Another amazing feature of Cognitive Canvas is support for integration of unique AI assets into the minting process.

We do this by supplying access to our own Stable Diffusion api, letting the artist integrate amazing images into each mint.

Our Stable Diffusion api is a superset of the public Stable Diffusion app, allowing much more advanced prompts.

We also have special features for artists, allowing them to customize the Stable Diffusion outputs with their own art. This is an especially interesting feature for artists, as it allows them to experiment with different artistic genres using their style.

Differences with fxparams

fxparams is a new and interesting feature on fxhash. Cognitive Canvas is similar conceptually, but much different in the details.

First, we place no restrictions on the configuration UI the artist wants to present. It is all artist designed, and the data available includes the camera, microphone, uploads, ai generated images, sound, video, etc.

Also, there is no alternate market mechanism. fxparams has a quite complicated new market mechanism with it's own incentives. We think this may have unexpected outcomes, and is much too complicated for many collectors.

Instead, we opt for a simple Mint Reserve to incentivize live minting, and there is no seconday NFT. See See Live Minting for more information.
