Non-fungible tokens (NFT) become a hot topic in 2021 but if we back at the time we can see that the NFT world started in 2017/2018. Since then it took almost four years to gain the popularity that they have today. We should turn over and take a look at the earliest days and projects that were a seed for the current NFT market.

Cryptographics is one of the first projects in NFT space founded in 2018. The platform allows users to mint, store, and trade unique randomly generated digital artwork on the blockchain.

Ranch Collection

Ranch collection is one of the first randomly generated art collections in NFT space minted in 2018 using the Cryptographics platform.

The collection consists of 10 unique pieces of art where 9 of 10 is minted in 2018 and the last art is minted on the 3rd birthday (Oct 6. 2021) of the first art in the collection.

For creating the collection, I used 3 different asset packs Ranch pack, Painting, and shapes and the main inspiration for the collection was farming, animals, and agriculture.

As a creator of the Cryptographic, you don’t have control of the graphic complexity. You have control of what asset packs you would like to use for graphic creation but this is no guarantee that graphics from these asset packs will be included in the graphic. After the minting process, you can see asset packs and the number of assets and backgrounds that the algorithm used to create Cryptographic.

Cryptographic is a graphic created by you, with a little help from provably secure randomness.
