Proof of Art explores the ideas, values, and cultural forces shaping cryptoart.

From its early history and foundational figures to its evolving systems of curation, stewardship, and patronage, we examine how art is created, experienced, and valued in the context of crypto. Through conversations with artists, collectors, and builders, we explore themes of decentralization, sovereignty, rebellion, and provenance, forming a living archive of a movement that challenges traditional art systems and redefines the nature of art.
