Owls

Parliament has rolled out two key platform upgrades: - **Clean URL system** now live at parliament.wtf/owls - **Custom usernames** available in profile settings These updates follow September's technical website overhaul at owls.wtf, which added multi-language support and deeper smart contract documentation. The clean URL structure should improve user experience and navigation, while custom usernames give users more personalization options for their profiles.

**What makes art truly "on-chain"?** Most NFTs store tokens on blockchain but keep artwork on IPFS, Arweave, or servers. The blockchain only points to your art - it doesn't contain it. **Owls NFTs are different:** - Entire artwork exists as Solidity contract logic - Contract generates SVG in real-time with zero external calls - No storage lookups, just pure code execution **How it works:** - At mint, contract reads blockhash and combines with token ID - Creates immutable DNA through keccak256 hashing - 256-bit seed determines every trait via bit-shifting **True permanence:** Your owl replicates across thousands of Ethereum nodes worldwide. As long as the network exists, your art renders identically and deterministically forever. *Art Blocks recently achieved 90% on-chain artwork* - a milestone showing the industry's shift toward permanent digital art preservation.

**Parliament.wtf** introduces a novel messaging system where community votes determine content survival. **How it works:** - Messages naturally decay over time - **Upvotes extend lifespan**, downvotes accelerate deletion - Replies unlock only when reaching vote quorum - **Consensus grants permanent status** to popular content Each NFT collection creates its own **token-gated Parliament**, giving holders governance over their community's conversations. The protocol transforms ephemeral communication into a **democratic content curation system**. Popular messages survive and gain permanence, while unpopular content fades away naturally. Currently in alpha testing phase - builders encouraged to test and provide feedback. [Try Parliament →](http://parliament.wtf)
