Terraforms, I intend to keep collecting. *

> *Full disclosure: I hold a few Terraforms right now! I’d like to have a lot more, and honestly, the driving motivation isn’t financial. *I find these digital artifacts mesmerizing and likely to age like fine wine in various senses atop Ethereum.

The magic here is due in no small part to the creator duo, [Mathcastles](https://x.com/mathcastles), being new masters who have used Ethereum as an artistic medium, a computational creative engine, to an extent we haven’t seen before. 

That said, I feel confident that in 100 years, the art world will look back on Terraforms as important, a major first mover in runtime art because they will see what I see now: a series that broke new ground in a way that expanded the possibilities of art itself. This is high praise, of course, but Terraforms is also hard to explain. It has many nuances and transcends genres. 

*For this post, let’s catch you up on the basics of this unique collection and why, in my humble opinion, it’s one of the best examples of onchain art on Ethereum today! *👇
