on L1, it costs $10s to $100s to create onchain art on @base.base.eth, it costs $0.01-$0.10 and will only get cheaper the number, quality, and impact of onchain creatives will grow exponentially — the last few weeks of creativity are just the tip of the iceberg

The term "onchain" in Jesse's tweet feels at worst intentionally misleading and at best avoidant of the long history of what we've considered on-chain art. Since long before Base, an artwork was only considered "on-chain" if it was stored fully on the blockchain with no dependencies. We use the term "minted" otherwise

Perhaps an open dialogue should be opened up between jesse, base and the on chain art community on how we can ideate on how to rebrand the term on chain for either sides

i'm open to chatting more about it! i'm generally a descriptivist rather than a prescriptivist and think that onchain is a very useful descriptive term to capture things that exist predominantly on blockchains. there's a ton of nuance in what "predominantly" means, but yeah.

By saying the art is onchain then you're going in with the assumption that it is predominantly on-chain? @chainleft wrote about the token = art philosophy earlier this year and I tend to agree with him: https://x.com/chainleftist/status/1748507951948566642?s=46&t=W1KEHQGmWz3dNge_dEPk7g
