This Fall marks five years of Art Blocks. By our anniversary, Art Blocks 500 closes the earliest chapter of on-chain generative art. I'm still in awe of what we're preserving. Five years of artists pushing code and constraints to their creative ceiling. 495 collections complete - Two more Curated releases - Three final Explorations 500 collections of pure human creativity. Not on servers that fail. Not in galleries that close. But preserved forever on Ethereum. This is why we close the current chapter at 500 collections. To enshrine it. To let it rest. To make clear that this was a chapter in history. The Art Blocks 500 will stand as a fixed, complete canon. 500 algorithmic collections forever preserved. Not by servers or institutions, but by Ethereum's unbroken chain of blocks. We're not shutting down. We're sealing something sacred. Putting the foundation under glass so what comes next can build without limits. Artists, collectors, developers: you built this. Now we preserve it forever and unlock what's next. 💪
