<p>Lucid Paths is an exclusive collection of 1,000 generative NFTs — each one a unique pairing of algorithmic visual art and procedurally-generated music. The project was one of Lua Labs' earliest Web3 ventures, built to explore what fully generative, audiovisual blockchain art could look like.</p>

<h2>Highlights</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>200+ ETH</strong> in secondary trading volume</li>
<li><strong>Trended above Fidenzas</strong> on OpenSea for 24 hours at launch — a benchmark moment in the generative art space</li>
<li>Every NFT pairs a unique visual composition with its own algorithmically composed soundtrack</li>
</ul>
<h2>How It Was Built</h2>
<p>The art and audio were both generated using <strong>p5.js</strong>, with the sound package handling algorithmic music composition. The algorithm was refined iteratively over several weeks to ensure every piece felt distinct and high-quality — then manually curated before the reveal.</p>
<p>Smart contracts were written in <strong>Solidity</strong> as ERC-721 on Ethereum, with all assets and metadata hosted on <strong>IPFS via Pinata</strong>. Shell scripts handled the batch processing pipeline for audio/video rendering and metadata packaging.</p>
