Art anyone can reproduce, from seed to Signature
Cosmic Signature is a procedural on-chain art protocol on Arbitrum. During each Performance Cycle, participants make gestures with ETH or CST, and every gesture helps shape the final Signature: deterministic NFT artwork generated from on-chain data and rendered through a three-body physics simulation.

Origin
Cosmic Signature was designed by Taras Bobrovytsky, who also wrote its white paper. It began with two convictions: that generative art is most interesting when nothing about it is arbitrary, each image the output of a physical process anyone can rerun from its seed; and that a protocol holding ETH for its participants owes them a readable answer to where every wei goes.
So the art is physics, not a model: three bodies under Newtonian gravity, rendered from a seed recorded on-chain by an open-source pipeline and released under CC0. The distribution is mechanical: the contracts execute every allocation, and no team wallet receives ETH from gestures. And the team’s role is finite: its owner powers are locked while a cycle runs and are set to end once the remaining upgrades land.
From launch to handover
V1Launched
The protocol goes live on Arbitrum One behind an upgradeable proxy: cycles, gestures, the allocation tracks, anchoring, the Cosmic Council and the art pipeline.
V2Live today
Five changes shaped by how the protocol is used, among them Participation CST that grows with the time between gestures and a longer window for the Final Gesture participant to finalize.
V3Planned
A premium on gestures in the last minutes before the deadline, so sustained participation counts for more than last-second timing. It is in development in the public repository.
ThenCommitted
Once the design is final, owner control leaves the deploying address for good: transferred to the Cosmic Council or renounced, with the mechanism announced in advance.
Clarifications
Cosmic Signature is not offered as an investment product. The protocol describes participation, gestures, allocations, anchoring, and public-goods forwarding; it does not promise token price behavior or financial outcomes.
