Highlight Marketplace
Today, Highlight is launching a secondary marketplace for digital artworks created using our toolkit. Below is a detailed post explaining why and how we built it. Here’s a quick summary:Our marketplace offers artist- and collector-friendly features not found in any major marketplace. We have a lot more in store, but today’s launch includes:Rewards. To start, you’ll automatically be eligible for allow-list spots for curated primary drops by creating and/or buying Highlight-native listings.Conv...

Blockchain Royalties: State of the Market
This post is a companion to our marketplace launch announcement. In building our marketplace, on behalf of the community we did a deep-dive on royalties to bring transparency to them and hold ourselves accountable. See our public Dune dashboards, on which this analysis is based, here. Quick summary:Effective royalty rates for Ethereum NFTs have taken a nosedive in the past two years. Today, the average rate is about 0.8%, down 84% from about 5% just two years ago.Artists and creators have mis...

From Plotters to Pixels: System 1 by Nicolas Daniel
This collection is a part of the Bright Moments Artist in Residence series for February 2024. More details can be found here. System 1 began with Nicolas Daniel’s desire to explore plotter art within a generative algorithm. The project initially focused on creating simple line drawings but quickly evolved into something more complex with the introduction of a propagation algorithm. This algorithm led to unexpected outcomes resembling maps of natural and urban landscapes, influenced by cartogr...

Introducing… 🎉 HIGHLIGHT STUDIO 🎉 !!!
Your companion app designed to help you iterate and test your generative artwork quickly and reliably!
Have you ever thought to yourself: "Hmmm, I wish I could just quickly test thousands of different token IDs and hashes and see how my artwork really behaves"? Well you are in luck!
Introducing the "Single artwork" tab in Highlight Studio. This tool allows for quick iteration through different parameters your artwork can receive, and is just a nice little tool in your toolbelt which alleviates the need to manually change the URL parameters to your artwork.
I know what you're thinking: "Woah that's cool, but I want to see a bunch of artworks next to each other so I can see if anything is off". You're not going to believe this… we have the "Multiple artwork preview" tab, to do EXACTLY that! Put in how your parameters change from render to render, press generate and just sit back and enjoy.
"That's so cool. The only thing missing is a way for me to see what traits get set across THOUSANDS of artworks, so I can be certain the probabilities are what they should be". IT IS NOT MISSING. WE HAVE IT. It's called… "Trait harvester" tab! It behaves like the "Multiple artwork preview" tab, except it skips the actual rendering, which allows it to "harvest" traits from THOUSANDS of artworks in seconds.
Check out Highlight Studio here: https://studio.highlight.xyz/ and read about it here: https://github.com/highlightxyz/generative-art
We’re excited for your feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvement. Hit us up at gm@highlight.xyz
