There have always been love stories and love letters.

Writing materials (clay tablets, papyri, parchment, printed matter) were developed to help us convey information in real time, but also across the ages. Some inscriptions have reached us with their original information intact. In other cases, the information was misinterpreted, lost or altered at the time of writing, or over the years, as new technologies appeared.

There have always been love letters: they use the materials and technologies of their time to express the lovers’ wish to see their feelings last, in some cases beyond their own death or perhaps even forever.

The blockchain, an early 21st century technology for the storage and transmission of information, is no exception. Initially devised to keep an inalterable record of encrypted, signed and dated, financial transactions on our interconnected digital networks, the blockchain also promises to make another universal and enduring wish come true: the hope of 21st century lovers that the flames of their passion will endure, signed and dated, in an inalterable format.

‘I will love you forever on the blockchain’ This translation is available in NFT unlike the original french version which will remain only written on the blockchain.
