Unsigned Algorithms (Unsig) is a collection of algorithmically generated art, which is entirely minted and preserved on the Cardano blockchain. Unlike other Cardano NFT projects, which are just links to JPGs stored off-chain, Unsig creates and stores its code "on-chain". The project's founder, Alexander Watanabe, wanted to integrate art with the blockchain, and he accomplished this by minting code that generates an image. Each Unsig NFT has four attributes - colors, distributions, rotations, and multipliers - and can have any number of unique properties. Alexander explored over 50 million possible combinations of red, green, and blue colors in all their rotations, distilled them down to the best 31,119 Unsig, and curated them in this Cardano NFT collection. The first 10K Unsig were sold in round 1 at a cost of 50 ADA for 3 unsigs, the next round of 10K were sold at 50 ADA for 2 unsigs, and the last 10K costs 50 ADA for 1 unsig. The Unsig project was created by Alexander Watanabe, a Tokyo native with dual masters (M. Arch & M.Sc) from the University of Michigan, and the distribution is handled by Patrick Tobler, the founder of NFT-maker io and CEO of "yellow house GmbH".

 

How are the NFTs generated?

 

We start with some Python

Define some basic properties, color [red, green, blue], intensity distribution [normal, cumulative] and rotation [0, 90, 180, 270].

Add some spice

To generate complex colors and geometries, we add in half-color shifts, and multiple stacked layers for each property.

And lastly press compile

In a few kilobytes of code, you can generate a 4k or 8k image (or any resolution you desire). Your NFT will always be looking sharp regardless of the advances in tech.

Tadaaa!

Hot out off the processor. What could be better than 1 of these? Arranging multiple of them together to form larger compositions.

 

FIRST OF ITS KIND

These are the first algorithmically created NFTs, minted and preserved entirely on Cardano.

 

SCARCITY

From over 50 million possible combinations of our parameters, we’ve curated the best 31,119: 0.06% of the possible set.
