Step 1
A polling service that continuously monitors the public BTC and ETH networks. It captures the gas spend of the last transaction and store the data.
Step 2
A visual generation service that reads gas spend records for the past 30 days (720 hours). It calculates the current pulse by comparing the value in the grid against the 30-day baseline (You can change the baseline and view the difference).
Step 3
The average of the BTC and ETH gas variations determines the color intensity of particles in the 3D heart. Each particle represents a data point, colored according to an 8-level scale. Colors are assigned based on graduated thresholds (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%), creating a spectrum from deep red (highest stress) through neutral to deep green (optimal conditions).
Step 4
A 3D anatomical heart is rendered in real-time using 12,000 particles. Each particle's color reflects network health data, creating a living visualization that pulses at 72 BPM. The heart rotates slowly, allowing viewers to see the distribution of network conditions across different chambers and vessels of the digital heart.
Step 5
Mints the snapshot of grids to public blockchain periodically. View the dynamic NFT metadata in the public blockchain
The Heart Beat is a project created as an extension of The Alchemy of Trust initiative, primarily to augment the idea of how future of money is evolving thus value is evolving. The project is created conceptualized by Afzal Ibrahim, an avid explorer of contemporary design, functional aesthetics and emerging tech. The decentralized world is constantly evolving and the piece is a symbolic representation of how the future of value is evolving through continuous heartbeats. View more projects at uncode.art

The work explores how the concept of trust is evolving in our increasingly digital world. This also means the economics of value (money and commodity) is also evolving. The artwork uses dynamic elements to visually represent the ongoing changes in the digital economy.
The future is decentralized. The piece is a way for viewers to reflect on and engage with the idea of trust in a digital era. A detailed analysis of this topic can be found in the parent project - The Alchemy of Trust
Decentralization refers to the distribution of power away from a central authority. In terms of technology, it means managing a network of information in an automous way. Each participant engaging in the network has an equal role. The technology used to achieve this is called blockchain.
A dynamic NFT is a type of digital artwork that changes over time based on external data or interactions. In this case, the NFT evolves based on real-time market data.
The artwork evolves every one hour. It changes by tracking and visualizing the 'pulse' or activity within cryptocurrency markets. The canvas is dynamically generated using software code. Changes in market conditions alter the colors and rhythms displayed in the artwork.
In "The Heart Beat," green represents love and positivity, aligning with periods of market growth or stability. This is an ideal world, however a red canvas or a hybrid one isn't a bad one. After all, that's how markets are : - )
The artwork reflects on how trust is built and maintained in decentralized systems. The concept suggests that trust in the future will be based on transparency and shared control rather than centralized authority.
Yes. Each heart beat color is arrived based on calculating the current v/s a baseline of x days. Viewers can interact by exploring different time frames and details of the market's behavior, which affects the visual representation in real time.
The future of trust is zero trust. It means trust will operate autonomously in the digital world. The artwork isn't about providing a 360 view of the future but providing an alternative perspective on the relevance of a decentralized future and considering how values like trust and transparency can evolve in such a landscape.
