Squiggle Data Launches
We are on a mission to promote Squiggles to the world and we want to empower the community with access to data that can help them understand the collection.
We have built a new tool that is publicly accessible for everyone to dive deeper into comparing data around Squiggles. You can compare collections, traits, denominations, change timelines, and have customizable toggles to allow you to look at what you’re interested in.
Please poke around and try it out. We are keen to make this as useful as possible so if you have ideas or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Flamingo Leads Squiggle Sweep Season
There have been multiple Squiggles sweeps in the last month. The great collectors of Flamingo lead the way with a massive sweep moving their Squiggle total from 258 to 297 (now 5th largest Squiggle collection).
There have also been smaller sweeps by a couple anons and our good friends at Curated. These collectors have been putting their brooms to work and we love to see it. Squiggles moving into strong hands is always good for the collection.

Squiggle Sets Defined
Recently, a “Full Set” of Autoglyphs sold for 5,000 ETH. This collection is considered by many influential collectors as 1 of 3 landmark stages of generative art on the blockchain.
The other 2 of course being CryptoPunks and Chromie Squiggles. As dubbed by @derekedws The “Holy Trinity” of generative art.
Whether it is within art collections or across them, we have a natural tendency to collect in sets. When it comes to the genre of generative art, the visuals, metadata, rarity, provenance, and myriad of other factors naturally lead to building collections of art.
Artworks organized into defined sets show the cohesive diversity within gen art algorithms. A set can showcase what would otherwise seem to be counterintuitive. The outputs are placed within the set and it demonstrates their diversity and cohesion at the same time.
The Squiggle community is pleased to share 3 defined “Squiggle Sets” to help guide people in their Squiggle collecting journey.

Avant Arte Squiggle Prints Arriving
It has been exciting to see collectors starting to receive their physical prints of Squiggle #8107 celebrating the “ribbed” trait by Avant Art.
The print process of the edition replicates how each Chromie Squiggle is digitally arranged. Each of the 10,000 digital squiggles were created with a standard full spectrum rainbow layer, adorned with a trait on top. Here, the rainbow layer is masked by black ribs which are applied with a silkscreen layer.
With a final edition size of 262, incredible attention to detail in printing process, and a Snowfro signature, these Squiggles are quite the collectable.
