DADA

DADA is an on-chain digital-art social platform dating to 2014 where users hold visual conversations through drawing on Ethereum and mint community-created works as NFTs. It was among the early projects to encode royalties into smart contracts and automate their execution, letting artists keep earning a share on secondary resales, a mechanism that later became common in the crypto-art market. The platform provides simple drawing tools and a horizontally expanding canvas so both professional and amateur creators jointly produce collectible, tradeable peer-produced works.

In the ecosystem DADA differs from crypto-art marketplaces like SuperRare and Foundation by functioning more as an art commons around creation and community governance than a high-frequency trading venue. Since 2022 it has pushed a transition toward DADAO and discussed an "Invisible Economy" funded by collective revenue to support creators, yet tokenization and community-exit plans have remained under discussion for years, and the platform's actual trade depth and liquidity have stayed limited.
