Prohibition launches for everyone
Prohibition.art, a new platform for generative art, launched July 18th on the Arbitrum network. The platform aims to make generative art more accessible to everyone by offering a low-cost, high-speed marketplace for buying and selling NFTs.
Generative art is a type of art that is created using algorithms or computer programs. This means that the artist does not manually create the artwork, but rather provides the code or algorithm that generates the artwork. The result is often artworks that are visually striking and unpredictable.
In recent years, generative art has become increasingly popular, with some NFTs selling for millions of dollars. However, the high cost of entry into the generative art market has made it difficult for many people to participate.
Prohibition.art aims to change that by offering a low-cost, high-speed marketplace for buying and selling NFTs. The platform also features a number of educational resources to help people learn about generative art.
“We believe that generative art is for everyone,” said Jordan Lyall, founder of Prohibition.art. “We want to make it easy for people to discover and collect generative art, regardless of their budget.”
Prohibition.art is currently in beta, but it is open to everyone. To learn more about the platform, visit prohibition.art.
