A
First
question
is,
which
came
first,
the
chicken
or
the
egg,
which
is
a
question
we're
all
pretty
familiar
with.
So
to
answer
that
question,
we
now
have
an
answer,
which
is
the
yitzo
ethereum
contract,
conveniently
so
just
a
little
bit
about
myself.
Obviously,
an
egg
enthusiast
also
a
front-end
developer.
So
all
of
these
things
are
really
fun
to
play
with
as
a
person
just
trying
to
visualize
data,
you
can
just
tap
into
the
blockchain
can
just
use
ipfs.
A
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
nearly
as
many
annoying
back-end
things
that
I'm
terrible
at
actually
engineering.
I
may
be
a
chicken
in
disguise,
that's
still
being
discovered
and
then
really
into
community
building,
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
within
this
stuff
that
inspired
me.
Eggs
for
some
reason
were
the
the
vessel
so
why
nitsa
welito
means
egg
in
russian?
I
am
part
russian
though
I
do
not
speak
russian,
so
this
is
my
first
word.
A
It
was
inspired
by
faberge
eggs
which
are
sort
of
the
original
collector
item
and
they
work
pretty
well
as
a
model
for
nfts,
and
the
basic
premise
is
that
a
svg
and
a
gltf
is
uploaded
and
then
we'll
put
all
of
those
into
a
metadata
json
that
goes
up
to
ipfs,
and
that
is
the
uri
that
is
referenced
on
chain
and
I'm
actually
using
nft
storage,
which
was
unveiled
for
the
nft
hackathon.
A
Where
I
started
this
project
and
it's
been
a
super,
convenient
resource
and
tool
for
pinning
stuff
to
to
ipfs
and
through
filecoin,
so
really
appreciate
that
being
done
to
sort
of
take
alleviate
some
of
the
headache
of
how
I'm
gonna
store
all
these
freaking
eggs
on
on
the
internet
and
so
the
technology
that
I'm
using
as
a
front-end
person
just
react
type
script,
because
it
just
works
really.
A
Well,
I
mean
it
doesn't
work
incredibly
well
3.js,
but
we
can
make
it
happen,
choosing
ethers
as
the
library
to
connect
to
web3,
and
then
I
have
a
very
simple
end
that
just
kind
of
does
all
the
ipfs
stuff
and
hides
my
api
key.
And
then
the
contract
is
a
erc
721
solidity
contract.
A
Webpage
very
simple,
but
it's
pretty
clear
that
you
are
to
upload
a
pattern,
so
I
don't
think
you
can
see
my
browser
but
we'll
put
okay.
I
have
various
frogs
here,
we'll
go
with
a
frog
to
start
out
with
so
the
basically
the
image
gets
uploaded
and
it
gets
put
onto
the
canvas
and
that
is
turned
into
a
canvas
texture
for
3js
that
then
patterns
it.
A
So
we'll
just
we'll
put
this
frog
up
here,
so
we
can
also
decide
who
we
want
to
send.
Send
this
to
I'll
just
go
with
myself
for
now,
because
I
don't
know
any
of
your
ethereum
addresses
and
we'll
call
this
blue
mountain
new,
blue
froggy
and
then
continue.
And
then
this
is
a
blue
froggy
created,
let's
speed
up
and
then
so
we
have
our
confirmation
and
then
it
bounces
in
excitement.
A
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
the
I
have
a
meta
mask
notification
that
came
through
and
I'm
just
going
to
confirm
it.
This
is
live
on
rinkaby
as
well,
so
confirm
it.
Our
little
man
is
very
excited
now
and
there
we
go.
We
have
created
this
egg
and
it
may
take
a
second.
Oh
there
we
go.
So
this
is
a
little
receipt.
We
have
the
recipient
as
ourself
transaction
hash
and
we
have
the
ipfs
uri
and
we
can
view
this
on
openc.
A
I
think
my
internet
is
struggling
a
little
bit,
so
we
have
our
little
blue
frog.
You
can
take
a
look
at
him,
he's
a
little
not
as
well
lit
here,
and
he
also
exists
in
the
general
nft
universe
and
then
the
other
thing
I
added
recently.
A
A
There
we
go
and
we'll
quickly
create
this
egg
I'll,
send
it
to
myself,
because
I'm
a
little
greedy.
A
And
looks
good,
okay
so
and
then
same
little
process.
My
my
sort
of
mission
behind
this
is
kind
of
playing
and
learning
and
discovery,
and
some
generosity
as
well.
I
think
the
the
nft
sort
of
world
has
been
has
been
has
had
a
lot
of
sort
of
speculation,
a
lot
of
value.
It's
been
kind
of
crazy
to
pick
apart,
the
things
about
it
that
are
interesting
internally
and
creativity,
and
so
within
sort
of
playing
and
learning.
A
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
potential
for
people
that
have
the
knowledge
of
these
new
concepts,
and
I
know
I've
learned
a
lot.
I
still
have
a
lot
to
learn,
but
hopefully
there
are
ways
that
they
can
better
sort
of
teach
people
about
what's
happening
and
people.
A
Hopefully
my
application
can
help
sort
of
the
new
users
enter
into
the
space
and
have
a
tool
that
they
can
play
with
it
and
understand
concepts
a
little
better
once
they
have
a
playground
of
sorts
and
then
sort
of
some
other
ideas
just
creating
space
and
cultures
around
these.
Maybe
eggs
are
the
ticket
for
that.
A
Who
knows,
I
guess
we'll
see
and
then
obviously,
eggs
work
well
as
a
thing
to
be
hunted
or
discovered,
and
then
within
that
to
just
within
the
whole
ecosystem
of
entities
being
transferable
by
nature
and
playing
with
those
ideas
as
a
way
to
sort
of
change
how
we
are
gifting
things
to
people
in
a
digital
way.
A
There's
there's
something
elegant
about
using
this
technology
in
a
simple
way,
I
think
and
just
thinking
about
using
space.
A
I
haven't
cracked
this
egg
yet,
but
using
either
like
coordinates
and
spatial
hash
grids,
and
how
can
we
define
space
using
content
hashing
within
ipfs
and
sort
of
other
other
tools
where
we
don't
have
to
do
as
much
sort
of
guessing
or
random
sort
of
storage
and
other
things,
and
then
for
the
eggs
themselves
there
that
when
one
of
the
elements
is
that
they're
unique
and
currently
it's
a
little
naive,
it
just
uses
the
the
an
svg
the
mast
egg
svg
and
takes
that
content
hash
from
ipfs
and
saves
that
on
chain,
and
so
any
any
svg
that
comes
through
that
is
identical
is
rejected.
A
And
I
think
that
it's
a
nice
way
to
have
the
uri
and
also
have
a
way
to
enforce
some
sort
of
uniqueness,
but
I
think
it
could
be
taken
a
little
further
and
could
use
image,
convolution
and
other
sort
of
ai
machine
learning
techniques
to
generalize
get
features
and
those
could
be
defined
with
hashes
in
an
interesting
way.
That
has
yet
to
be
discovered.
A
So
what's
next
or
what
I
was
mentioning,
probably
some
scavenger
hunts
through
egg
drops
of
sorts
still
figuring
that
out,
but
I've
done
scavenger
hunts
in
the
past.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
those
ideas
having
some
way
that
eggs
evolve,
they
they
grow
onto
chickens
and
such
or
other
animals.
A
So
naturally,
these
eggs
should
have
some
way
to
transform
eventually
and
then
other
some
other
fun
ideas
I
had
from
people
is
creating
easter
eggs
in
websites,
so
it'd
be
cool
to
have
some
sort
of
simple
injection
that
someone
can
plug
into
their
website
and
have
a
very
meta
egg
experience,
and
I
think
that's
about
all
I
have
and
I'll
leave
you
with
this.
Definitely
one
of
my
greatest
inspirations
is
this
episode
of
always
honey,
and
I
offer
you
an
egg
in
this
trying
time
as.
