about

BlockMatrix is an on-chain, generative, non-looping animated pixel art project minting on the Cardano blockchain. BlockMatrix is an experiment on webpages as on-chain art and an exploration in color, pixel art and math-based animation. I named it as a play on the dot matrix printer I grew up using. During my time in the Cardano NFT space, I discovered that the blockchain allows anyone to create ownable and uniquely-identifiable digital art, inspiring me to create my own.

What sets BlockMatrix apart from other generative art is that it's technically a webpage. While most browser-based generative art is created using HTML Canvas and JS libraries such as p5.js, BlockMatrix is built using HTML/CSS & JavaScript. Why? I know frontend well enough to create animated pixel art and thought it would be fun to play with HTML in this fashion.

Growing up, I enjoyed pixel art in the form of console/computer games and now I just get nostalgic about it! I'm here to connect and vibe with folks that are interested in building for the Cardano blockchain.
