## Summary

The Ethereum Foundation has launched a "Happy Birthday Ethereum" NFT to mark the blockchain's 10th anniversary, and the artwork is designed to fade over 100 years. The NFT is a fully on-chain generative SVG that slowly fades with each passing day, and a video shows the simulation over time. It can be minted for 0.001 ETH (about $3.75) during a 24-hour public window that opens exactly 10 years after the genesis block, with the next window set for July 30, 2035, and new windows every 10 years until 2125. The artwork is by @ilyakazakov.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Etherium, the Etherium Foundation is proud to present the "Happy Birthday Etherium" NFT.

This NFT is a fully on-chain generative SVG that evolves over 100 years, slowly fading with each passing day. In the video you can see the simulation over time. It can be minted today at the symbolic price of 0.001 ETH (~$3.75).

Public minting opens exactly 10 years after the genesis block, that is today at 15:26:13 UTC (less than 1h), and it will remain open for 24h only.

If you miss it, the next minting window will be on July 30, 2035, with new minting windows every 10 years, until 2125.
