Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What are Query Art Codes?

  Query Art Codes represent the concept of intrinsic art value hidden within combinations of signs. These codes transform numbers, letters, words, or phrases into a collection of artistically valuable symbols generated algorithmically.

• How do Query Art Codes work?

  Query Art Codes combine the principles of quick reference codes (QR codes) and generative art. They take meaningful words, phrases, or symbols and transform them into unique art objects. Even your name can have artistic value when represented as a Query Art Code.

• Are Query Art Codes unique?

  Yes, Query Art Codes are unique to the input they represent. The popularity of a text input determines the value and uniqueness of its corresponding Query Art Code. The more popular the input, the more valuable and distinct its Query Art Code becomes.

• Can Query Art Codes be decoded?

  Yes, Query Art Codes can be decoded. They are not only visually appealing representations of input text but also contain digital fingerprints of the generated image. While the QArt scanner is currently under development, all generated Query Art Codes are already decodable.

• What happens when a Query Art Code is minted as an NFT?

  Once a Query Art Code is generated and minted as an NFT (Non-Fungible Token), it becomes immutable as long as its data is stored on a blockchain. This means that the artwork represented by the Query Art Code cannot be altered or modified, ensuring its authenticity and provenance.

• On which blockchain is the Query Art Codes smart contract currently deployed?

  The Query Art Codes smart contract is currently deployed on the Polygon blockchain.

• Will Query Art Codes be available on other blockchains in the future?

  Yes, in the future, Query Art Codes will also be available on the Ethereum blockchain. This expansion will allow users to have their Polygon-based NFTs replicated on Ethereum.

• How can Polygon-based NFT owners obtain their Ethereum copy of the NFT?

  Polygon-based NFT owners will have the opportunity to obtain a copy of their NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. To do this, they will need to initiate a transaction and pay a gas fee. This process will ensure that the NFT is replicated and accessible on both Polygon and Ethereum.

• What are the benefits of having a copy of the NFT on Ethereum?

  Having a copy of the NFT on Ethereum provides increased visibility and accessibility. Ethereum is one of the most widely adopted blockchain networks, which opens up more opportunities for trading, exposure, and integration with various decentralized applications (DApps) and platforms.

• Will the original NFT on Polygon remain unaffected when a copy is created on Ethereum?

  Yes, the original NFT on Polygon will remain intact and unaffected. Creating a copy on Ethereum does not alter the ownership or attributes of the original NFT on Polygon. The replication process ensures that both versions coexist independently on their respective blockchains.
