AI summary of the linked article

Gaussian Timepieces is a small NFT project whose creator presents on-chain timers that cycle based on Ethereum's average block time, with each timepiece reflecting its owner's on-chain NFT holdings. The timepieces come in five durations, from 2 to 32 blocks (about 26 seconds to 7 minutes), and their dials and colors update with each cycle. A maximum of 100 timepieces will be pre-minted and listed on OpenSea, offered to collectors and supporters of prior work who hold an NFT from Ethstory or the_coin, at a low reserve price covering minting and transfer gas.

NFT timepieces relating ownership to the ceaseless stochastic thrum of the blockchain

It's already a bit older article, but only discovered today. Curating it bc I'm lately quite fascinated by the idea of Ethereum as a clock. Also somehow it seems suitable today.

In this sense, blockchain is a stochastic clock. It clicks ahead relentlessly, but if we used it to tell time, there’d be variation around our estimates. This variation is systematic and beautiful in its way. Blockchain is, in a sense, a Gaussian timepiece.
