There has been a Commodore 64 (C64) on Ethereum mainnet since 2022, and most people missed it.

Not an image of one. Not a video of one. A working C64, an iconic computer architecture from 1982, ready to boot whenever anyone opens it, executing a program and generating its sound/music live. 🔊

It was put there with extraordinary care by someone who understood the computer from the inside out. It reads as much like an act of preservation as an act of craftsmanship: technical precision, artistic judgment, and deep knowledge of the machine all working together.

And its not locked to a single program. The machine exists independently on-chain as open infrastructure for anyone to access, study, and build with.

You can literally build with it right now.
