A Landmark Publication on the Cultural Role of Art Collectors in Web3

A decade of digital art history through the voices of those who helped shape it. Written by Kate Vass, Collecting Art Onchain is the first publication to place collectors at the center of the evolving world of blockchain-based art.

Through in-depth conversations and curated visual narratives, the book offers a rare and personal glimpse into the motivations, challenges, and cultural insights of the early adopters who have helped define this space.

This publication explores the why behind collecting art on the blockchain, revealing a deeply human story of curiosity, conviction, and care for the digital cultural record.

Collecting Art Onchain —  Collector’s Edition

Overview

Collecting Art Onchain is a limited two-token edition that links on-chain provenance with a numbered, analog Collector’s Edition book.

Requirement: You must hold both tokens in the same wallet to receive the analog book.

How it works (2-Token Edition)

Mint/Receive Book Token → locks your book number.

  1. Receive Tecrrain Artwork Token → the paired artwork for that number.

  2. Hold both tokens → qualifies you for the analog Collector’s Edition (numbered & signed).

Please do not trade either token until you receive the analog book, as the three components—Book Token, Artwork Token, and physical book—form one complete, numbered edition.
