This means that even in the distant future, these artworks can be reconstructed and displayed using only the information stored on the Ethereum blockchain, aligning with Art Blocks’ broader efforts in digital art preservation. While our conventional web server-based generator will remain the primary way to view Art Blocks pieces, this on-chain preservation secures their longevity and accessibility for generations to come. ## Why This Matters
