Rooted In Code is being updated for v3.
RIC v1 and v2 Roots will become part of the upcoming v3 Legacy Memory layer.
Earlier Roots are not being left behind — they can carry provenance, metadata,
and memory forward into what comes next.
Rooted In Code by MasterOnChain
Rooted In Code is a fully on-chain generative art project by MasterOnChain. Each piece combines layered, AI-generated facial fragments, resolving into unique, pixelated portraits. All data is stored immutably on Ethereum L1 — no external dependencies, no off-chain assets. Click/tap to activate flicker. Click/tap again to trigger the glitch.
