Noted as the first on-chain generative art on the Ethereum [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), 512 Autoglyphs were available to anyone willing to donate a creation fee of  0.20 ETH ($751 at the time) to Larva Labs’ chosen charity, 350.org.

While many ERC-721 NFTs store data off-chain, an important distinction of Autoglyphs is that art is inside the contract itself, ensuring the art is on-chain.  \n  \n## Partnership  \n  \nOn Tuesday, September 2, 2021, the global talent, sports, and entertainment agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), announced the company had signed Autoglyphs and other Larva Labs projects. UTA will work with the [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft-1) collectibles and intellectual property (IP) for [Cryptopunks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptopunks), [Meebits](https://iq.wiki/wiki/meebits), and [Autoglyphs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/autoglyphs) across television, film, licensing publishing, and video games.[\\[12\\]](#cite-id-cbqe0lrkaqo)  \n  \n# Technical Details  \n  \nThe Autoglyphs are a highly optimized generative algorithm capable of creating billions of unique artworks, wrapped inside an ERC-721 interface. While ERC-721 is the standard for \"non-fungible tokens\" (something that the CryptoPunks helped define), it is generally used to manage ownership of digital items stored elsewhere. The key difference with the Autoglyphs is that the art is inside the contract itself, it is literally \"art on the blockchain\".  \n  \nThis becomes obvious if any glpyh creation transaction is examined on the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). The event data contains the full output of the generator, and hence the artwork itself.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-pxkuja5yk6n)  \n  \n# Notable Sales  \n  \nAutoglyphs sold out roughly 4 hours after its launch, collecting 76.8 ETH from transactions and donating roughly $16,300 to charity.  There were a total of 66 token holders, and Autoglyphs cracked the top 10 on OpenSea almost immediately after the last token was created.  \n  \nOn September 1, 2021, sold for 460 ETH (\\~$1,800,000) on [OpenSea](https://iq.wiki/wiki/opensea).[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-czdrxiqzo4)[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-pcjhgbberj) Also on that day, Autoglyph #486 sold for 444 ETH (\\~$1,700,000).[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-iqrbcipapeb)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-0thwienvf5gc)  \n  \nOn September 15, 2021, Autoglyph #336 sold for 384.375 ETH (\\~$1,400,000).[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-yba3a3u92wj)[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-i5way0xhw0n)  \n  \nOn August 28, 2021, Autoglyph #381 sold for 381 ETH (\\~$1,250,000) on OpenSea.[\\[8\\]](#cite-id-uak86t8vdqb)[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-ss93sqsj7r8)","summary":"Autoglyphs are the first \"on-chain\" generative art on the Ethereum blockchain.
