#917 NFT Morning x 100c n°3 : Back to the opening of the Node Foundation

In this episode, we welcomed Pauline Foessel and Fanny Lakoubay , co-founder of 100 Collectors , for the third NFT Morning x 100c : an episode largely dedicated to a major moment for on-chain art: the official opening of the Node Foundation in Palo Alto . A foundation, not a showroom: We spent most of the episode discussing the opening of the Node Foundation in Palo Alto , a space conceived not as a commercial gallery, but as a long-term institution dedicated to preservation, research, and transmission of on-chain art . One year after acquiring the CryptoPunks , the foundation made a strong statement:👉 running a full Ethereum node directly inside the space , turning blockchain infrastructure itself into a preservation tool. From utility to stewardship We discussed the clear paradigm shift embodied by the Node Foundation: * moving away from utility, roadmaps, and market narratives , * toward stewardship, longevity, and cultural responsibility . Here, preservation doesn’t stop at the artwork. It includes the network, the protocol, the provenance, and the community . As we discussed on the show: the market itself becomes part of the medium . An immersive, on-chain native exhibition Fanny walked us through the opening exhibition dedicated to CryptoPunks, which offered a deeply immersive experience: * physical cards activating individual Punks in the space * real-time provenance and transaction history * 3D trait breakdowns * a monumental wall composed of all 10,000 CryptoPunks * light, code, and interaction used as curatorial tools The experience was clearly designed with the community in mind, especially Punk holders, while raising important questions about accessibility and education for a broader audience . Education: ambition vs. execution Education is one of the stated pillars of the Node Foundation, and we openly discussed the challenge ahead.Today, the space feels strongly community-driven and Punk-centric, but the potential is massive. Residencies, open calls, and future artist takeovers (with Beeple already mentioned) could turn the Node Foundation into a real laboratory for on-chain education , a field that still largely remains to be invented. 💬 Key quote: “Here, we’re not only preserving artworks; we’re preserving the network that allows them to exist.” More details here: * Node Foundation Website: * X account for Node Foundation * Click Save article by Ameesia about Node weekend: * Lerandom.art interview with the founders of Node Foundation * 100 collectors TDLR recap of the Node programming talks on Saturday: This is a public episode.
