Murall
Murall, also known as Murall.art is a collaborative online mural where all pixel data is embedded in either an Ethereum or Polygon blockchain. Contribution to the mural requires purchase or otherwise obtaining "PAINT" (or "$PAINT") tokens from a number of semi-decentralized markets or PAINT holders. Each PAINT token allows 1 pixel to be placed on the mural. The supply of PAINT pixels is limited, leading to hoarding of the PAINT pixels for investment, and therefore slow growth of the mural.
In the early 2020s, Murall's Polygon based technology was hacked, resulting in market losses for PAINT holders and code adjustments by the maintainers.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Murall is treated more as an anarchic sketchpad than a traditional collaborative mural, as any user can overlay their art material on prior art material without much concern for the overall composition or the prior artist's wishes. Additionally, as contribution to the mural involves no moderation, and instead relies on immutable contracts, contribution to the mural is uncensorable beyond intervention from Ethereum or Polygon blockchain client developers.
In order to display all art contributed to Murall, Murall is usually presented to visitors as a time-based art project, showing the development of the Mural from founding to the most recent creation through a slideshow feature.
NFTs[edit | edit source]
Each individual Murall contribution is its own NFT, which can be exchanged on NFT markets.
