Artnames enables users to turn their name into a personalized NFT
A Base-supported generative art project called Artnames turns a user’s name into a unique piece of NFT art. Each piece is created in collaboration with renowned artists from the digital art space.
The Artnames project was founded by the artist Arrotu. According to Arrotu’s blogpost, the project is a combination of personalized art with blockchain technology. Users can use Artnames to mint their names into unique digital art “based on the letters and essence of an individual’s name.”
In order to receive their own personalized NFT, the user just has to connect their wallet and input their real name or blockchain name. The project will then generate a unique NFT that will be stored in the blockchain. Artnames claims it can generate approximately 18 million possible art combinations.
The project reportedly launched on Nov. 14 and will be available until Nov. 21.
Artnames consists of six digital artists that contribute to the many possible combinations of generative NFTs that users can claim. The list of digital artist collaborators include ViHa, Thompsonart.eth, Yepstt, Anemale.eth, Dragic, and Eduxdux.
Arratu stated in his blogpost that Artnames hold the potential to contribute to the growing NFT economy by opening doors for individuals who may want to sell or trade their personalized NFTs on the marketplace.
“Artnames is a fusion of creativity and technology, giving users a way to express their individuality in the digital world while becoming part of the growing NFT movement,”
The extent of Artnames’ generative NFT minting will come in three separate phases, depending on a person’s name format. In its first phase, Artnames will be able to transform a regular text name input, a Basename, an ENS, and TON dns into an Artname NFT by minting it through the Base or Tron network.
In its second phase, Artnames will be able to facilitate users who want to turn their Degen, TEZ or Solana names into NFT artworks. In the third phase, Artnames plans to generate NFT art pieces based on Polkadot, Moonbeam and Bitcoin names.
