Physical sculptures tokenized on ethereum
Genesis is the first physical block tokenized on Etherblox (ETHBLX), sculpted in December 2020 by Xavier Tjong-A-Hung.
This soapstone mythical green accent comes to life when light falls onto its surface. The block's unpolished texture feels as if it has been found in the depths of a mysterious ocean floor from the Etherverse.

The black box gives praise to the first few seconds of a piano composition by Claude Debussy. Most of the notes consist of sharp and flat keys, which can be heard in the Genesis block's non-fungible token.
Etherblox are physical sculptures tokenized on the ethereum network. Each sculpture has its own digital counterpart that is minted under the erc-721 ticker ETHBLX.
