I Combined the Blockchain and AI to Generate Art. Here’s What Happened Next. | by Kory Becker

TUTORIAL

What would the blockchain appear to be if it may very well be visualized by means of imagery?

The blockchain is a technical implementation of a distributed ledger, mostly related to monetary transactions. That is removed from one thing that we would contemplate stunning. Particularly because the information saved on the blockchain largely consists of difficult numbers, letters, and symbols related to quantities of worth, sender and recipient addresses (wallets), and metadata.

Nevertheless, I had beforehand labored on producing pictures to symbolize quantum computing, which, just like the blockchain, additionally consists of advanced numbers. I had questioned if it is perhaps potential to mix the identical visualization strategy of utilizing an AI and huge language fashions, together with prompt engineering, to generate pictures from a complete new supply of information.

Let’s give it a attempt!

To generate pictures from the blockchain, we first have to establish the options to be leveraged.
