In this episode, I’m joined by solidity devs w1nt3r and Tyler Angert to talk about button.lol, watchfaces.world, and onchain SVG.

Button.lol is a website with a single button that holders on the optimism network can click once every 6 hours to collect points.

watchfaces.world is an on-chain SVG time piece NFT collection. Each NFT is customizable at mint time and will forever display the current time through the use of on-chain SVG rendering. While telling the story of watchefaces world, w1nt3r also tells me how he built an on-chain hot reloading SVG which is helping on-chain SVG devs tighten the visualization prototyping loop for new collections.
