Recently completed an interesting experiment: took the inaugural Grokipedia article on crypto art—a foundational piece in this emerging field—and deployed it entirely on-chain as a custom SVG format (stored directly rather than anchored to IPFS). The piece went live on Networked.Art with a 24-hour availability window, creating a limited-time on-chain artifact. This approach demonstrates an unconventional but compelling method of preserving cultural documentation within blockchain infrastructure. The full SVG encoding contains the complete article data, turning metadata into visual form while maintaining immutability and decentralization principles. It's a small but symbolic gesture marking the intersection of encyclopedic knowledge preservation and digital art infrastructure.

Directly minting an encyclopedia as on-chain art is a pretty bold move.

According to the database, another 24-hour art piece has gone live. How many hours are left until true "permanent preservation"?

Putting an encyclopedia on the chain as an art piece—what a crazy idea... but it was gone in 24 hours, which feels a bit unfortunate.

ngl Burning the article directly into SVG and then uploading it to the chain is a pretty bold idea. The 24-hour limited sale makes it feel like a limited-edition collectible toy, but I wonder if anyone actually downloaded and saved it.

ngl this is actually pretty clever... direct on-chain svg encoding without ipfs feels like reading between the lines of what decentralization should've been all along. 24hr window tho? that's either a timestamp or psychological warfare on collectors, can't decide which

Haha, stuffing the entire article into SVG and directly uploading it to the chain is quite a creative idea... But it’s gone in 24 hours? That feels a bit unfortunate.
