GIFCHAIN

the blockchain for NFTs  ·  objects, not just balances

GIFCHAIN / mainnetgenesis 2024-11-02 · 4,134,032 blocks produced

The blockchain for NFTs.

GIFCHAIN is a layer-1 network where the object is the primary unit of state. Balances exist, but they are a side effect. Every block commits an object root alongside the state root, so transfers, mints and burns of digital objects are settled by the protocol rather than tracked by an indexer bolted on afterwards.

Media lives on chain. A GIF-721 object carries its own frames, palette and dimensions in the object trie, which is why every page of this explorer can show you the artwork without asking a server somewhere else for it.

Every block commits an object root. Blocks with no object operations still produce a root, they just repeat the previous one.
