    Today, CryptoArtworks and NFTs share the same problem: the images are stored off-chain. The graphic information of the artwork is most likely to be lost if the project where it is stored dies.

Our innovator smart contract will encode all image data, compress it, and send it to blockchain. It also stores its name and author information. This data can later be accessed directly from the blockchain and decompressed by our open-source decoder to reconstruct the original image created by the artist. This is our MVP solution to store Art 100% on-chain. The same principle will be applied to other types of artwork, such as Music and Voxels.
