A limited NFT collection of algorithmically generated art inspired by waves.  Waveblocks is a collaborative art project by Marc Hemeon @hemeon and William Ngan @williamngan.  

Welcome List members will be the first to mint their NFTs. 10% proceeds of this project will be donated to Surfrider Foundation to stop offshore drilling.

About

Marc is a seascape artist who has been painting waves and water for over 15 years. William is a creative coder who has been producing beautiful art with code his entire life. Marc and William met a few years ago and developed a deep friendship based on art and design.  They came together and merged their two worlds to create Waveblocks - 1024 unique wavescapes. 

We have two goals with this project - 1) Can a computer create art that expresses emotion, much like a painting?   and 2) Can we inspire a new generation of people to start creating art with code. 

William created the open source library Pts. ptsjs.org which is core to our waveblocks project. We hope waveblocks gets you excited and inspired to express what you see in your minds eye. 

Most ideas can be conveyed with the right combination of points, shapes, colors, motions, interactions, and more. Thats why William made Pts - is lightweight and modular. Written in typescript, it comes with many useful algorithms for visualization and creative coding. Its friendly API supports both quick prototyping and bigger projects. check it out here: ptsjs.org 

Thank you for supporting our project.

Have questions?

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Did we miss something? DM us on Twitter to ask anything else.

Yes. ~50 million list registrations have happened on PREMINT without issue. When you sign in with PREMINT, you only are validating ownership of the wallet address. PREMINT does not get any permissions to perform transactions and does not have any way of withdrawing anything from your wallet.
Premint has been used by some of the top artists and collections in the NFT ecosystem, including XCOPY, Coldie, DeekayMotion, Cool Cats, Known Origin, Async Art, Shaq, and over 25,000 more.
Signing is the only way we can truly know that you are the owner of the wallet you are connecting. Signing is a safe, gas-less transaction that does not in any way give PREMINT permission to perform any transactions with your wallet.
PREMINT saves your wallet and social info as a part of the registration step, so you can disconnect everything afterwards and your entry is still valid.
As far as PREMINT is concerned, yes, but the project owner might check that you still own the token before finalizing the list.
If you fully registered, the only way your wallet wouldn’t be on the list of registered wallets is if the project removed it. PREMINT never deletes wallets from the list for any reason.
If you don’t know what wallet your Discord or Twitter are connected to, just go to https://premint.xyz/disconnect and you can force-disconnect them.
While creators are welcome to name their PREMINT projects whatever they like, we choose to use the term "allow list" or "access list" vs "whitelist." "Whitelist" could be considered exclusionary language, and the spirit of web3 is about inclusion.
