A non-fungible token (NFT) is a one-of-a-kind, non-transferable data unit kept on a digital ledger (blockchain). NFTs may be linked to readily replicable goods like images, movies, music, and other forms of digital data as unique items (similar to a certificate of authenticity), and blockchain technology can be used to provide verifiable and public evidence of ownership for the NFT. Copies of the original file are not limited to the NFT's owner and may be copied and shared just like any other file. NFTs are distinguished from blockchain cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin by their lack of interchangeability (fungibility).

Initially, the vast majority of the art has been created with AI technologies developed by the AI start-up Contrastive, mainly using their Reality Stone, a technology that updates what was previously random noise into an image using a model (CLIP) that calculates how well-matched an image/text combination is. CLIP is an image/text matching model trained on hundreds of millions of image/text pairs. Iteratively estimating what would make the current input image better correlate to a given text allows it to produce new images by running it backward. This implies that each image reflects our own perspective of reality, as the dataset was built by the internet. This is most visible when it comes to physical descriptions, but it's also intriguing when it comes to more abstract ideas.

As a consequence of the halting of the Contrastive project and due to the natural unstoppable evolution of AI, more technologies have been leveraged: from the more experimental and unknown such as NFTGenie, HotPot AI, to the most famous ones such as NightCafe Studio, Midjourney AI, and Dream Studio by Stability AI (Stable Diffusion).

Essentially, there is a tool (named the Reality Stone by the team behind project Contrastive) that allows users to make images from their own prompts and choose which ones to mint and save. Holders who want to sell on the secondary market receive 60% of the royalties on each transaction. The Sol Stone is another technology that allows from a combination of two inputs (a short text and one image) to obtain an astonishing unique augmented artwork as output.
