gm artists lose history all the time in this space platforms shut down. contracts migrate. marketplaces wipe data. indexers reshuffle. whole chapters of an artists career disappear this happened to NGs (2022) & SZNS (2023), 2 collections i created with hiroji kotegawa. when a vulnerability in @thirdweb's contracts forced us to migrate to @manifoldxyz to protect collectors, the marketplace provenance broke & the secondary sales history was wiped at the time NGs had traded around 300 eth in secondary volume. SZNS was still new but already seeing strong activity, including a 5.5 eth sale of one of its 1/1s on @opensea today, none of that data shows so i rebuilt the record @ jak.art 2 live pages pull data directly from both the original & current contracts. every token, every recoverable sale & transfer, searchable by id & shareable down to the individual piece. for NGs, the page also includes a dated opensea screenshot from may 30, 2023, six months before thirdweb disclosed the vulnerability doing this work made something we all know even more obvious, but its worth saying again. the chain is permanent & the platforms are not. whats less obvious is how much of the record disappears the moment a platform breaks provenance matters. collectors deserve to see what actually happened jak.art/ngs jak.art/szns
