Today marks a historic milestone for the Chromie Squiggle Collection, Snowfro, SquiggleDAO, and the entire on-chain generative art community. The MoMA (@MuseumModernArt ) in New York has officially added a Full Set of Chromie Squiggles to its permanent collection!๐ moma.org/artists/140754-ericโฆ
The enduring significance of Chromie Squiggles itself, Snowfroโs pioneering exploration of code as artistic medium, is what ultimately made this moment possible. Weโre grateful for the generosity of collectors across the ecosystem, with special thanks to @kukulabanze & @Noahbolanowski at @1OF1_art , and all donors who contributed Squiggles to help bring this work into MoMAโs collection: @VonMises14 @gmoneyNFT @jdh @ArtOnBlockchain, @kukulabanze and an Anonymous Collector.
Before creating the Chromie Squiggle, Snowfro spent years experimenting with color and light.
From ceramic glazes at La Nova Tile to projected gradients with Light Art and UpBlocks, and programmable LEDs through Sebbo Lights.
The Squiggle brought those explorations into code.

1/ On Squiggle #6529
I would like to explain why we are excited about โbuying a Squiggleโ
While Squiggles are, in fact, sweet, the exciting part is that every part of this process happened in a decentralized manner.
2/ @aRegularDad proposed a Meme Card to fund a Squiggle acquisition.
81 profiles participated in the Main Stage vote and voted with TDH to mint this as a Meme Card
The card won. 77 paid editions were minted, providing 2.51 ETH for the acquisition.
3/ @cheesebiz and @bankons helped scout and connected @squiggleDAO . SquiggleDAO suggested trying to acquire Squiggle 6529
The price was 3.01 ETH, so @MadaCollects who had been following the discussion, chipped in another 0.5 ETH to the pool (respect!)
4/ The seller wanted to stay anonymous, preserve the provenance (no intermediary transfers) and keep their vault secure.
Ultimately, the seller trusted SquiggleDAO and 6529 network and sent the Squiggle directly to the 6529 Network Museum before receiving payment.
5/ Reminder: What is the 6529 network museum? It is a SAFE vault organized by TDH, owned by the network, a cultural asset, NFTs go in, but ~they do not go out.
It is the network-native concept of a national public museum
6/ Finally, one more step to replace the temporary art on the card with something appropriate for the long-term. Well, another TDH vote of course.
@ricardotakamura won with THE VAULT, a long-exposure light painting made at Casa NUA in Brazil.
7/ So to recap:
- Decentralized network mints a meme card to buy a squiggle
- Decentralized network picks which squiggle to buy
- Decentralized network updates the art
- Decentralized network permanent home for the squiggle
8/ What was my contribution to any step of this project?
Nothing at all. I was not involved at all in any way.
I had a vague awareness that it was happening, but was not following any of the details, let alone helping.
9/ Now, some of you are thinking โok, fine, that is cute, the NFT nerds are collecting NFTs againโ
Maybe.
Or maybe collecting NFTs is a generalizable proof of concept, and there is no actual limit to this primitive.
We will see soon enough.
10/ Thank you to all who organized, the voters and everyone who minted.
Great job by all.
Squiggle #6529 belongs to the @punk6529 Network Museum!
It was a DAO effort to source this fitting Squiggle, credit to every single SquiggleDAO member!
It's an exciting day for the 6529 Network Museum which acquired Squiggle #6529 by @ArtOnBlockchain for 3.01 ETH from Anon.
This purchase was made possible by the people who minted Meme #550, @MadaCollects who contributed 0.5 ETH, and @squiggleDAO who facilitated the sale with the anon owner.

Added to our website under Community built tools!
pretty sure sth like this existed before but couldn't find it
so here is a squiggle editor
squiggle.worldcomputer.art
every squiggle possible with the legendary generative script by snowfro
you can see live how the hash changes, what lines of the code are behind the changes, you can change the code too if you want, you can press play, you can download your generated squiggles,...
who knows maybe the next billion dollar company logo will come out of this editor
enjoy
my plans are literally measured in decades
and i am more bullish on pre-AI-age art NFTs than any other asset class over the next 5-15 years

At 9AM EST today somebody abused a bug in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives.
It wasn't until over 12 hours later that somebody reported it to me, and upon digging in I realized that a great many NFTs were subject to the same exploit.
I got in touch with the team over at LimitBreak and they quickly paused Payment Processor V3, which was subject to the same exploit. Unfortunately, V2 was not pausable, so the only path towards protecting affected assets was to run a whitehat operation.
Similarly, V3 on ApeChain is temporarily in a state where it cannot be paused, so ApeChain assets approved to V3 needed to be saved as well.
All in all, we rescued 23,155 NFTs worth north of $5.7M USD.
We later discovered that a similar exploit could be used in reverse to steal WETH. 660 WETH was at risk, which we unfortunately were not fast enough to recover. Apologies to those affected.
Shout out to @Boomskite for flagging the initial exploit tx to me, and @coffeedev @0xjustadev and @whiteoakkong for acting quickly and assisting with the recovery.
All NFTs are safely relocated. Soon, owners will be able claim them back after revoking the exploitable approvals.
Addresses to revoke below.

If you unfortunately were part of this recent hack and lost a Squiggle, please get in touch with us so we can help connect the buyer and seller.
I had a weth offer for a squiggle that I think came from a compromised wallet. Hit me up if thatโs you. @squiggleDAO
Congrats! One of 42 Type Set owners, a very impressive feat! ๐
seems appropriate today to announce that I have completed a full set of @ArtOnBlockchain's Chromie Squiggles ๐ค
representing one of each of the six types: Pipe, Bold, Ribbed, Fuzzy, Slinky, and Normal
this has been a slow, patient grind over many years ๐๐ค
Some Squiggles blend into the background.
We call them Harmonics.
Displaying: #2705 owned by @curatedxyz
After launching the Artist Box, we had a lot of collectors reach out wanting one for themselves. ๐
So we added it to our merch page: squiggledao.com/en/merch
Orders are fulfilled through @Pakmanscoop. The DAO takes no cutโyou pay manufacturing (and shipping) cost only. ๐
