Entropretty Tattoo Design Algorithm Competition
A Groundbreaking Algorithmic Tattoo Design Contest Merging Web3 Individuality and Art
The Entropretty Competition, a global contest for developers, designers, and artists, will debut at Assembly Winter 2025. This unique event, hosted by Assembly in collaboration with Ethereum co-founder Dr. Gavin Wood, challenges participants to create algorithmically generated tattoo designs that serve as decentralized digital identities.
The competition aligns with Gavin Wood’s vision—co-founder of Ethereum and creator of Polkadot—for a privacy-first, Sybil-resistant individuality solution in Web3. The first mechanism for claiming individuality is named, ‘Proof-of-Ink’ and pioneers blockchain-based individuality through tattooed generative art, solving key issues in digital verification.
“Digital identity is one of the biggest challenges in Web3, and Proof-of-Ink provides a novel approach to solving it without sacrificing privacy,” said Gavin Wood. “By merging generative art with blockchain technology, we’re creating a new way for individuals to verify their uniqueness in a decentralized world.”
Why Proof-of-Ink Matters
Proof-of-Ink redefines digital identity verification in Web3 by providing a privacy-first, decentralized alternative to traditional KYC systems. Instead of relying on centralized databases or biometric tracking, this method ensures trustless and unique identity verification without compromising personal data. This feeds into a broader protocol, that any product can use in the future to verify individuality.
Join the Future of Digital Individuality
The Entropretty Competition invites developers, artists, and blockchain enthusiasts worldwide to contribute to this cutting-edge initiative. Winners will gain global recognition in the Web3 community and help shape the future of decentralized individuality.
Key Competition Details
Prize Pool: Total: $8,000 in $DOT crypto, split across Assembly Winter 2025 and Assembly Summer 2025.
Open to all globally—anyone can participate and submit their designs online.
Tattoo-friendly algorithmic designs—each output must be unique, clear at small sizes, and compatible as a tattoo design.
Three seed types for design generation: Entropy (randomized), Personal ID (unique per participant), and Account ID (Web3-based).
Fast execution—algorithms must render results efficiently within 300 milliseconds.
No external dependencies—self-contained, reproducible code.
