Special Notice to Collectors
With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to our amazing async.art collections. Word has reached us that the gradual disappearance of Blueprint Collections will come on November 22, 2023. While a glimmer of hope suggests that a few might remain mintable until that fateful day, the impending loss of countless hours of creative endeavour hangs in the air.
Generative art, by its very essence, exists only in the moment of creation. The impending vanishing act of Blueprint Collections underscores the ephemeral nature of this art form. Yet, those already minted shall endure, eternally tethered to IPFS, becoming a fleeting yet crucial fragment of history, a poignant testament to the inexorable march of time.
In this moment of parting, we extend heartfelt gratitude to the visionary async.art team for their tireless efforts and the remarkable tools they bestowed upon our community. Their departure is a profound loss, an absence keenly felt but destined never to fade into oblivion.
