what's Spawn Points?

Spawn Points is a generative NFT collection on the Ethereum blockchain, created by artist and developer diid (@0xdiid). Each token in the collection dynamically refreshes its artwork every block, resulting in ever-evolving visuals that respond to the chain's state. This on-chain approach ensures provenance and mutability without relying on off-chain metadata, emphasizing the principles of blockchain art where the artwork is fully embedded in the smart contract. The project utilizes ERC-721 standards with custom logic for trait generation and respawning, allowing holders to experience unique, non-static digital art. It builds on diid's broader work in on-chain creativity, integrating elements like checksums and encoded data to create alchemical, digital-physical hybrid expressions. Spawn Points serves as an exploration of impermanence and blockchain interactivity in the NFT space. As part of the evolving crypto art ecosystem, Spawn Points encourages community engagement through its unpredictable nature, where no two views of a token are identical. It avoids traditional static images, instead leveraging Solidity code to spawn procedural elements, making it a technical showcase for artists pushing the boundaries of what NFTs can represent.
