DAT examples ​

In December 2022, the initial version of the DAT Metadata Standard was released, and it has recently been transformed into a CIP (Cardano Improvement Proposal).

The Perfect NFT ​

February 2023, MICK+WOUT and Alexander Watanabe collaborated on The Perfect NFT, the first use of the DAT Metadata Standard. It was a blockchain art performance where collectors became participants by, quite literally, leaving their fingerprints on the pieces.

The first part of the collection was called Temporal Bidding Declarations, a series of receipts serving as proof of participation. In total, 3409 TBDs were minted.

The actual pieces were minted after the performance. Each composition is derived from a number between 0 and 511, representing a binary value.

Both collections are made up of a scene token, a renderer token, an SVG library, and fonts, all stored on the blockchain using DATs.
