Yesterday, I minted SLIPS by Rudxane on fxhash. I needed to do six (!) transactions before the piece was in my wallet. Approval. Swap. Approval. Swap. Approval. Mint. As much as I would like to support fxhash with their experiment, that’s a lot of txs to mint art. My biggest concern is that the tokens detract from the artistic experience. The art feels secondary. In theory, it’s a great concept: artists are getting paid not only from minting, but also from evolutions and trading. Collectors are getting paid whenever someone uses their seed. Traders can speculate on artcoins. But the way it’s designed right now causes a huge amount of friction. Anyone with experience in UX knows that this is an issue. I’ve worked for years in ecommerce, and if I’ve learned anything, it’s that friction should be reduced at all costs. Users are lazy. They don’t read. They're quick to move on. Don’t make them think. The new fxhash is making me think a lot. The artcoins should be abstracted away. Just give me one button to mint. I don’t care about $FXH or artist coins. I just want to have fun minting and evolving pieces. Give me a visual overview of all the pieces that can be evolved. Let me explore traits more easily. The reason why I like Infinex is because they’re putting the user first. They’ve nailed the user experience: they don’t bother me with approvals. Just one click and it’s done. I know the fxhash team is working hard to improve the UX, and I’m confident we’ll see progress soon. Until then, my message is simple: don’t make me think, let me enjoy the art.
