Bright Moments Tokyo – On-Chain AI Art

Overview

A groundbreaking initiative to integrate AI-generated art directly onto the blockchain, ensuring full on-chain provenance for artists.

Challenge

Bright Moments Tokyo aimed to help AI artists securely and efficiently put their works on-chain via Art Blocks. The key challenges included:
• •Ensuring full on-chain storage of AI-generated pieces
• •Handling various AI model formats (Stable Diffusion, GANs, etc.)
• •Maintaining real-time artwork generation in a browser environment

Solution

We devised a structured approach to on-chain AI integration:
• •IPFS Storage: AI models uploaded to IPFS for decentralized access
• •ONNX Format: Models converted for lightweight, browser-compatible execution
• •Custom Framework: A streamlined system inspired by Cyril Diagne's open-source project for efficient model execution

Technical Details

• •Framework: Custom-built lightweight AI execution environment
• •Storage: IPFS for decentralized permanence
• •Real-Time Rendering: Optimized to load dynamically in the browser

Results

• •Successfully enabled AI artists like Ivona Tau and Sofia Crespo to put their models fully on-chain
• •Seamless integration with Art Blocks for secure NFT minting
• •Real-time generative rendering directly from blockchain storage
