Introducing Explore: A New Era for Discovering Bitcoin Art on Gamma ✨
After months of development, we're thrilled to unveil Explore—an entirely reimagined discovery experience designed to elevate how collectors engage with Bitcoin art on Gamma.
This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint. Explore is a powerful, flexible tool that brings our new app vision full circle. It addresses one of the biggest challenges in the digital art space: discovery. Until now, NFT discovery—especially in the Bitcoin ecosystem—has been fragmented, noisy, and inefficient. We knew we could do better. Explore is our answer.
A Better Way to Discover
Whether you’re new to the scene or a seasoned collector, Explore is built to help you find what truly matters—regardless of how you like to browse. The experience is divided into four distinct modes of exploration, each tailored to a different way of discovering and collecting art.
1. Unstructured Discovery
Want to simply scroll and get inspired? Dive into a continuous feed of hidden gems, trending drops, new releases, and standout creators. It’s an effortless way to explore without needing a plan—perfect for those serendipitous moments when you stumble upon something special.
2. Data-Driven Insights
For collectors who love digging into the numbers, Charts is your new go-to. See what’s rising, what’s moving, and who’s trending across creators, collections, and individual works. This is discovery driven by real-time signal—not noise.
3. Targeted Exploration
Sometimes you know exactly what you're looking for. Whether it's a specific style, theme, color palette, price point, or even sale state, Explore offers robust filters to help you pinpoint the perfect piece. You can even layer these filters with real-time or historical data to fine-tune your search.
4. Editorial Context
Great discovery also needs great storytelling. That’s where The Edit comes in—Gamma’s in-house Bitcoin art publication led by our curator, Hugo Pouchard. From expert commentary and exclusive artist interviews to curated picks and cultural deep dives, The Edit brings meaningful context to the art and artists shaping the space.
The Future of Explore
This is just the beginning. As more artists join, more works are tagged, and more collectors engage with the platform, Explore becomes smarter and even more dynamic. It’s a living, evolving discovery layer that grows with the ecosystem.
If you're new to Gamma, we're here to support every creator. Just reach out to @gammaiosupport—we’d love to help you get started.
Explore is our vision for what discovery on Bitcoin should feel like: inspiring, intuitive, and deeply connected to the art and people that make this space so special.
We’re just getting started—and we hope you’ll be part of what comes next.
Polylith by OTO
In his latest digital work, Polylith, artist OTO presents a bold inversion of temporal flow—one that reshapes not only how we interpret time but how we perceive the permanence of information in a decentralized world.
“In our daily lives, we perceive time as flowing from past to future,” OTO shares. “However, in the context of information, I've long held the notion that this flow reverses.”
To OTO, information begins as pure potential. Only through observation does it crystallize into something definite—resonating with how meaning, memory, and even history itself are continuously reinterpreted by those who bear witness.
This idea is not just conceptual—it’s deeply structural, rooted in the very architecture of Bitcoin. “In Bitcoin’s blockchain, past blocks remain unaltered, existing as fixed records,” he explains. “But their visualization, interpretation, and ascribed meanings depend on the observer, rendering the structure dynamic and multilayered.”
With Polylith, OTO invites us to consider a poetic paradox: that the past, though immutably etched in code, is still alive—subject to the shifting lens of future events and future minds. “An artwork not understood today may be rediscovered in the future, with its meaning and value redefined,” he says. It’s a perspective that turns time from a straight line into a dialogue—between blocks, between observers, and between generations.
Polylith is not only a philosophical statement—it’s a rare offering on Bitcoin. A single piece in a symbolic supply of 3,333, it is inscribed forever on-chain, awaiting observation.

Partner of the Week 👨🎨
Although his artist name and pseudonym does not sound it, Akira Ishi hails from France. Born in the early 1990s, Akira’s journey into generative art didn’t follow a straight path. Before embracing art full-time in early 2023, he explored multiple professional avenues—graphic design, web development, and more. Yet none of these vocations truly resonated. It was only when he dedicated himself to creating art that he found a sense of purpose that had long eluded him.
Having first entered the NFT world in 2021 as a collector and observer, it took a push from a family member—already a Web3 artist—to spark Akira's transition to creator. What began as admiration for the generative art movement quickly turned into full immersion, and after dabbling across Tezos and Ethereum, Akira found his spiritual and creative home on Bitcoin.

Process First: Why the Journey Matters More than the Destination in Art by SonOfLasG 📙
At Gamma, we build for both creators and collectors, recognizing that the collector’s voice plays a crucial role in shaping what we develop. Their perspectives drive many of our decisions, ensuring that our platform serves the needs of those who bring digital art to life and those who cherish it. Inviting a collector to share their insights in a "Collector’s Perspective" piece was a natural choice—and it was an honor to have SonOfLasG contribute “Process First: Why the Journey Matters More than the Destination in Art.”
Inverso: Stellar Genesis — A Cosmic Rebirth 💫
Inverso: Stellar Genesis is more than a collection—it’s a cosmic rebirth.
Over 60 years ago, Italian artist Alessio Sozzi painted haunting visions of the unknown, capturing both the vastness of space and the depths of the human soul. Today, his legacy reawakens in a new dimension—reborn through AI and real-time space data, evolving beyond what even he could have imagined.
The Art: Sozzi’s original cosmic works are revived and transformed, bridging two centuries of artistic vision.
The Cosmos: Each piece is infused with real-time data from space, making every creation a unique moment in the universe.
The Generative Stars: A select few, chosen to complete this celestial cycle, generate the final 100 inscriptions.
The Bitcoin Chain: Immutable. Eternal. A new form of artistic permanence written in the stars.
This isn’t just an NFT collection—it’s a portal between past and future, human and machine, creation and infinity. The universe expands, and with it, a new chapter in art begins.
Enjoy a jam-packed end of April. 🎨
