The ICP ecosystem is thriving and everyone is looking forward to the upcoming ICP-Bitcoin direct integration. We truly believe that ICP's direct integration with Ethereum and Bitcoin is going to be one of the most momentous development in the crypto ecosystem and 2022 will be an excellent year for ICP.    

 As a group of crypto and ICP enthusiasts, we have created a unique and vintage ASCII Art NFT collection for this huge development. Many of us performed this art in our way when there was no Whatsapp or emojis and as children of the 90s, we are really excited about preserving this nostalgic art and pass on to web3, which is the most interesting area of technology for us.

 To create our collection, we selected the top 200 ranking projects available on coinmarketcap at the start of 2022 by total market cap as of January 3, the day Satoshi Nakamoto mined Bitcoin's genesis block. Furthermore, a snapshot will be taken every year on January 3rd and any coins leaving the top 200 will be replaced with coins entering the top 200 making it an Evolving NFT

We created an ASCII art generator specifically for this concept and reorganized each logo to achieve the greatest results from the generator. We term what we produced "pure programmer art."

  Each NFT consists of a pure ASCII art HTML file generated by our coded generator and a 3D animated version of this artwork which we formed with our own CSS code. These two files work interactively and smoothly with one another, and we believe they give a distinct and unique NFT experience when compared to NFTs consisting of usual image files such as PNGs, GIFs, SVGs, etc. Furthermore, each logo produced by the ASCII art generator includes texts containing various key concepts of that project, expressions used by that project to describe themselves on their websites and whitepapers, abbreviations of various cryptographic techniques, and the names of popular applications in their ecosystems.

  We aim for this collection to be a snapshot of the first 200 blockchain projects in the year ICP's Bitcoin and Ethereum integration took place and it gives us great pleasure to be able to host such an NFT on-chain thanks to the Internet Computer.


 There are many project in the crypto ecosystem. Good or bad, we can agree they have great logos. While creating this series, we ignored our judgments about the projects and tried to define them in their own words with the texts inside each logo. Since each project has a unique logo, there is no rarity index in this collection and we are very curious how the ICP community will rate these awesome ASCII art logos.

  Besides being the first ASCII art collectibles on Internet Computer, each cryptoText NFT will grant airdrop rights for our coding-themed play to earn NFT game, which we have already begun development and also all of our future projects.
