To understand what makes my live setup possible, you first have to understand what ERC725Y actually is. At its core, ERC725Y is a smart contract standard that acts as a generic key and value store.

If you have a Universal Profile on LUKSO, you have this built directly into your blockchain identity. It allows you to attach any arbitrary piece of data to your address without needing to deploy a custom smart contract. You simply define a key, and you assign it a value.

Most people use this functionality to store basic social metadata like a profile picture, a bio, or a background banner.

But as a visual artist and a creative coder, I look at that simple key and value store and see a limitless decentralized hard drive.

I absolutely love this standard because it completely destroys the barrier between a blockchain identity and heavy application state.

It gives me the power to tie massive, highly complex software configurations directly to my identity rather than relying on a centralized database or carrying around fragile external hard drives to my shows. It transforms a simple crypto wallet into the ultimate portable save state.

I built a WebGL visual synthesizer called @RadarVisuals to perform my live VJ sets. The amount of data required to run a live performance is staggering. My current setlist is divided into three separate workspaces, holding a combined total of nearly ninety unique scenes.

A single scene in my software is not just an image link. It is a deeply nested JSON object that dictates the real time physics for three independent visual layers.

It holds the exact math for speed, scale, drift, rotation angles, and blend modes. It stores the active state of hardware melting shaders like liquid distortion, CRT scanlines, and volumetric lighting. It even memorizes the routing for a custom modulation matrix where low frequency oscillators and audio reactive frequency bands are constantly warping values on the fly.

On top of those ninety scenes, I have a massive dictionary of global application settings. I store comprehensive MIDI mappings so my physical hardware controller knows exactly which software knob to turn. I have video mapping coordinates for club projectors.

But the absolute craziest part is the LSP1 event registry. My setup listens to the LUKSO blockchain in real time while I perform. I have custom visual reactions hardwired into my profile. If someone in the crowd sends a token or follows me during a set, the software intercepts that on chain event and instantly triggers a neon shockwave or a color pulse on the venue screens. The audience literally manipulates the club visuals just by interacting with my profile.

If you tried to build this in a traditional tech stack, you would need a heavy backend database with dozens of tables just to load a user profile. If you tried to write all these parameters directly into a standard smart contract, you would hit block gas limits immediately and go bankrupt on network fees. Here is how ERC725Y completely bypasses all of that.

When I hit save in RADAR, the engine scoops up all ninety scenes, the MIDI maps, the audio thresholds, and the smart contract event reactions, and dumps them into one massive JSON file. That file gets pinned to IPFS. Then my application makes one incredibly cheap transaction. It updates exactly one custom ERC725Y key on my Universal Profile called the Root Storage Pointer with the new IPFS hash.

The performance unlock here is ridiculous. Because the heavy computation happens entirely off chain, my WebGL engine parses that JSON, boots instantly, and pushes a flawless one hundred and twenty frames per second. The blockchain never bottlenecks the art, it just securely anchors the state of it.

For years, we have treated blockchain wallets like digital backpacks just meant to hold tokens and receipts. ERC725Y allowed me to turn my on chain identity into a fully functional, globally accessible creative studio.

I no longer panic about hard drive failures, lost cables, or crashed laptops before a gig. I can walk out of my studio here in Belgium, fly to a gig anywhere in the world completely empty handed, borrow a random computer, and connect my Universal Profile.

In less than a second, my entire ninety scene setlist, my hardware mappings, and my interactive crowd reactions rebuild themselves perfectly on the screen.

My entire life's work as a visual artist is anchored safely to my profile, ready to be summoned onto any screen on earth in a fraction of a second. It is the ultimate creative freedom. And this is exactly why I love ERC725Y. #LUKSO $LYX

@RadarVisuals now officially supports .svg LSP8 collections! (ie. burnt pix / based baristas)

How it works for ANY LSP8 collection:

1️⃣ Click the Collections Library (top right)
2️⃣ Add the collection
3️⃣ If you hold the NFTs, they auto-populate in your Token Selector.

Side note on layering: Almost, if not all existing LSP8s have solid backgrounds, meaning they really only work on your Bottom Layer. Put them on the top layer and you'll immediately see the issue. They completely block the visuals underneath.

To make full use of the engine and it's layering capacities, go have a look at how the HALO collection is doing it:

https://t.co/ljOHwRSiq6

To truly stack NFTs and FX, you need assets on transparent backgrounds (like the HALO collection).

Tag artists below who should design transparent assets for RADAR, or get to work yourself! Anyone can build for the engine now. Zero gatekeeping.

Put your bags to work. Load them up, turn on Audio Reactivity, and watch them bounce to the beat! 🔊

P.S. This also works for your @momentsonchain collections. Literally anything LSP8. Go have some fun.

Whoa, just recovered from last weekend. Nearly 14 hours of non-stop visuals.

The stage had its own evolving visual identity, powered by the @RadarVisuals mini app and my @ERC725Account.

A true collaboration between three parties: the event organisation, another deco team, and myself.

No crypto context. Just pure creative infrastructure in action! #LUKSO $LYX

[VXCTXR @VXCTXRGRPHX]

A #LUKSO $LYX @ERC725Account as a physical installation.

This video shows a new screen I built to demonstrate the circular mask projection mapping setup for Saturday’s event. The entire 12-hour visual performance will run straight from my Universal Profile.

Everything comes from a single ERC-725Y data key. One key points to one IPFS JSON object, and that object contains the full definition of the system I will perform.

Inside that JSON lives the structure of the night. It defines multiple workspaces and scenes as parameter snapshots, capturing drift, rotation, angle, and x and y positioning.

It references my LSP8 NFT layers as visual building blocks. It contains 21 live MIDI-mapped parameters across three layers as well as the event-type reactivity logic that can shape the visuals in real time. The renderer reads this configuration. I manipulate it live with my MIDI controller.

And yet all of the performance, every scene, every layer, every interaction, is stored and anchored in that one data key.

Universal Profile, ERC-725Y, IPFS, configuration, visuals. Everything flows from this one account. This is not something a simple externally owned account can do. EOAs can hold assets, but they do not have programmable key-value storage. They cannot hold an entire performance system, a living instrument, as part of the account itself.

This is what excites me about smart contract accounts. They are not just wallets. They can be containers for instruments, for systems, for tools. They can hold the structure of a performance, a composition, a generative engine, in a way that is portable, verifiable, and tied to identity. They allow experimentation beyond the constraints of roadmap timelines, utility narratives, or prescriptive storytelling.

I want to see more people building because they are curious, because they are driven to explore what is possible when identity becomes infrastructure. Not because a narrative says a feature is required, not because a roadmap demands it, but because now accounts can hold living systems that are fully owned, fully controlled, and fully performable.

One profile. One data key. Twelve hours of non-stop visuals. Twelve hours where the definition of the performance, the instrument, and the identity of the performer are inseparable. And all of this exists purely as a visual system. Nobody would guess it has anything to do with NFTs, Web3, or speculation.

A mission to let my digital LSP8 art escape the screen.

With the @RadarVisuals Mini App, I project my art onto very analog walls. Turning random corners, concrete pillars, and slightly “is-this-allowed?” architecture into temporary galleries.

Scouting nearby power outlets as part of the mission for now.
$likes → $LYX → future generator. 🔌

Each setup gets posted on @momentsonchain , the decentralized social platform where these urban interventions get documented.

Went on a side quest today and got direct contact info for the head of my city’s communications department about a pretty sick idea. The building you see here gets 15 to 20k cars passing by on a daily base, even more on busy days. If I can pull off a radar installation there, it would be massive.

I’m thinking of referencing the Las Vegas Sphere when I pitch this, but the execution is actually pretty simple if I project it from the roof across the street, which is my local library. Huge for this space and for art in general, and it would make a strong entry since I’ve got a great story to tell about how I’m running it. IYKYK. #LUKSO $LYX @ERC725Account @lukso_io

The Network is the Medium is a powerful thesis.

Larva Labs’ ∞ETH NODE gives it physical form. A single object renders global consensus as light and sound. Every block becomes a pulse. Every transaction becomes a heartbeat. You are not looking at data. You are sharing a room with the network itself.

What makes the piece compelling is its clarity. It speaks in one voice. It shows the protocol as a living, autonomous system, indifferent to who is watching. The signal is continuous, global, and anonymous by design.

Standing in front of it, you are not addressed.
You are receiving a broadcast.
That experience raises a different question for me.

What happens when the network does not just exist in the room, but recognizes who is present?

With @RadarVisuals, I worked on that question from the opposite direction.

Instead of one monolithic object visualizing network activity, RADAR turns identity into the active unit of performance.

A RADAR installation can be for example a physical sculpture, a phygital NFT in itself, video-mapped with live visuals. The work is logged into a Universal Profile. That profile is not symbolic. It is operational.

The installation listens continuously to on-chain events through LSP1. When someone follows the profile in the space, the sculpture reacts. When assets are sent to the profile, the visuals intensify, distort, or mutate. On-chain actions become immediate physical signals.

Identity is no longer metadata. It is the input.

Profile as state (ERC725Y)
RADAR uses the Universal Profile as a persistent state layer. Visual scenes, MIDI mappings, and curation preferences live as lightweight references in the profile itself. The software can change. The identity remains.

Curated input, not generic data
RADAR can be fed by personally whitelisted LSP8 collections. Different artists’ works become texture, rhythm, and material for the visual engine. Identity is not only reactive. It is composed through taste and curation.

Performance over playback
The installation is played live. MIDI controllers reshape the visuals on the spot. Projection mapping adapts the piece to the space. The browser renders in real time. The blockchain provides identity, memory, and events.

Now imagine a room built this way.

Not a single cube visualizing everyone’s activity, but many installations. Each logged into a different Universal Profile. Each responding to different followers, assets, gestures, and performers. A room full of identities, not spectators.

The ∞ETH NODE shows that the network itself can be art.
RADAR explores what happens when the network is embodied by people.

The future of on-chain art is not only about representing the system.
It is about letting identity perform within it.

The network is the medium.
Identity is what gives it presence. 🎛️

@momentsonchain Let's fucking GO

[VXCTXR @VXCTXRGRPHX]

A word on the upcoming @RadarVisuals update:

Finally. The engine swap is complete: Canvas2D is out, PixiJS + WebGL is in.

Honestly? Holy sh*t.

I’m still stress-testing, but this upgrade immediately allowed me to build a Master FX Bus + Modular Patch Bay.

When this drops, you'll be able to hard-wire specific audio frequencies directly into destruction parameters.
People are sleeping on the raw creative potential of Universal Profiles (@ERC725Account).

We tend to treat them like static vaults, but RADAR is built to do the opposite: to literally destroy the NFTs inside your profile and feed them in real-time as visual input.

We are sitting on the largest open-access library of visual assets in human history. Don't let them gather dust. Play them. Destroy them.

In this demo:
I used an AI-generated Gothic Church minted on @momentsonchain. Thanks to the new Library Panel, I whitelisted that moment inside RADAR with one click, saved it to my profile and layered it immediately with assets from the HALO collection.

The patch:
• CRT Geometry warping on the Bass
• Scene Shredder ripping through the Mids
��� Data Mosh, Static Noise & Negative Strobe all flooding the Highs
• 1-Bit Threshold crushing the overall Level

All destabilized by a Voltage Instability (Chaos) factor. From clean signal to total overdrive. #LUKSO $LYX
