THE PRESS

During the beta, invited artists etch and sell. Your file is written into the chain itself as contract code: no URL, no server, any node hands it back forever.

THE PRESS RUNS ON DESKTOP

Etching writes your artwork into Ethereum permanently. That deserves a big screen, so creating is desktop only.

Open etchd.art/etch on your computer when you are ready.

LINK YOUR X BEFORE YOU SELL

A linked X account is the strongest signal a collector can check: an impersonator can copy your artwork, not your account and its history.

FILE OPTIMIZATION FOR ONCHAIN DIGITAL ART

Forever is sold by the byte. What it costs at live gas, what XCOPY's originals weigh, and how to make your file lighter without compromising on quality.
