for an on-chain spiritism session
to revive ghosts burst in
the dot-com bubble.
• • •
Twenty-one dotcom era companies have been summoned for revival.
Each company includes an ENS domain, a new logo-NFT designed by Guile Twardowski—the artist behind Cryptokitties—and a suite of hidden text-to-image logo-NFTs by Cosmographia that Guile drew inspiration from.
Minting any NFT allows you to claim a subdomain on the company's new ENS domain. Owner of the Twardowski logo-NFTs earns the title of CEO on each company's profile page.
No candles are needed for this web3 séance of web1 spirits!
...here, we run on gas.
Almost every dot-com idea from 1999 that failed will succeed
