Alpha Centauri Kid - Original Sin

Description

Original Sin is a 363 MB digital artwork by alphacentaurikid.eth, stored entirely on Ethereum — not the metadata, not a pointer, the whole file. All 363,828,616 bytes of the source image are inscribed into the transaction logs of 2,843 sequential Ethereum mainnet transactions. The HTML viewer that reconstructs those bytes back into an image is also stored fully on Ethereum, embedded directly into the contract bytecode via SSTORE2. When viewing Original Sin, the browser does not fetch a file from a centralized server. Instead, it calls eth_getLogs on an Ethereum archive node, reassembles all 2,843 chunks in memory, verifies the SHA256 hash, and renders the artwork directly from blockchain data. The cost of permanently storing this artwork on one of the most expensive computational substrates ever created was approximately $5,200 in gas fees. That permanence is the point. Original Sin stands as a monument to onchain permanence, censorship resistance, and the idea that digital art can exist independently of external infrastructure. This is a 1 of 1 fully onchain artwork.
