Panorama: when the market becomes the brush of NFT Art
Panorama is one of the rare NFT projects that made me pause and rethink what this medium can actually do (alongside
Let’s be honest, most NFT projects still evolve in a familiar frame: an artwork is minted, sold, collected, and then stored as a finished object.
Yeah I know, there is a lot of “Agentic / Burning” mechanics too but even that seems to be boring with all these copies.
But Panorama goes further than that. It does not just use the blockchain as a registry for ownership. It uses the mechanics of the market itself as part of the artwork.
It’s just built different.
Panorama by @YigitDuman launches this Thursday, April 23rd! → April 23rd, 12 PM ET / 4 PM UTC: $PANO token launch and Genesis NFT auction → April 24th, 1 PM ET / 5 PM UTC: Allowlist NFT mint → April 24th, 2 PM ET / 6 PM UTC: Public NFT mint (if any remain)
It turns the daily price movement of its own token,
, into a continuously expanding panoramic painting.
A reveal happens one day at a time, for exactly 365 days.
The result is not a static image collection. It is a living system, where price action becomes visual language and volatility becomes composition.
You know sometimes the market can be a b**ch. Now, you can SEE it.
I have spent enough time around NFT culture to see gigantic mass of bs NFT projects (and I lost money on it ofc). Some are well marketed. Some are visually strong.
But very few actually understand the medium they are working in. Panorama does.
And it’s not that suprising because
is also the dev behind
project (I should elaborate on a later article about this masterpiece too)
How does it work?
There are 2 sides of the same coin when it comes to Panorama.
On one side, there is the
On the other, there are the daily NFT outputs, each acting like a fragment of a larger evolving painting.
The token influences the artwork > The artwork records the token’s behavior. The collector is not just buying a piece. The collector is participating in a system that reacts to itself.
Pretty amazing I have to tell.
Yigit has chosen a Romantic visual register: celestial scenes, mythological landscapes, underworld destruction, monumental light, sacred architecture, emotional contrast. It’s poetic… and logical when it comes to crypto market don’t you think?
Every NFT project starts with Eden.
Panorama does not just say “price goes up, price goes down.” It translates those movements into atmosphere, mood, and story.
A rising market becomes divine ascent.
A falling market becomes infernal collapse.
It’s ballsy.
I’m still thinking: what if nobody cares about
or this project? How this Panorama will evolve? Everything will be hell and… that’s it?
The thing is: Yigit is deeply committed to this project. If you are buying NFTs, you know it’s the most important thing. Also, there are a lot of art enjoyers who bought the first wave of Panorama.
Only 90 were in sales for the first wave, the first 90 days of this project actually.
bought the first one on auction for 2ETH and the #2 and #3 on secondary.
For a start, the community is pretty solid and engaging a lot on this project.
allow us to follow reveal (classic but useful) and Yigit is continuing to create and communicate a lot on this project. We will see if he will continue! (I think he will)
I’m owner of the #90 (the last of the first wave) which reveal itself the 21/07! Serc wanted to buy it 0.7ETH (because he has OCD and wanted to have the first and the last haha (jk mate)).
So am I, still waiting…
I’m still not used to handle that amount of money actually. I still don’t know when I should say yes, when I should sell or not, when it’s respectful or not. And it’s deeply “stupid” to say this on X because I will either be mocked, shamed or scammed in DM haha. Internet, am I right?
But if you have thought about all of this to share, I would love to hear your vision of this market!
Why does this matter in NFT culture?
A lot of NFT discourse gets stuck in the same shallow debates.
Is it art?
Is it utility?
Is it speculation?
Is it a collectible?
Is it a financial instrument?
Panorama answers differently.
It simply answers: yes.
And more importantly, all of that can be part of the same work.
I can’t speak about NFT’s market history since I stumble into all of this few months ago, even if I read a lot about it and talked to several collectors, investors, builders… and scammers too.
But there seems to be a “shift” going on in this market. No, I will not feed the “We are so back”, it’s engagement farming made by KOLs, don’t be fools. But I’m seeing more and more meaningful projects, strong visions and utility far more thoughtful than “basic PFPs” (nothing wrong with pfps tho)
, Artificial After All (
) and more projects I didn’t even know!
Is this an AI hype? I don’t know, maybe. I’m both working with Web2/Web3 tech companies and the “AI bubble” is very different in these two ecosystems (if you are curious to talk about it tell me!)
Final thoughts
Panorama is one of those projects that reminds me why NFT art still matters when it is done properly. Because it uses the chain for something only the chain can do.
It turns market activity into image. It turns time into composition. It turns ownership into participation. And it turns a token into a living artwork that writes its own history, one day at a time.
That is a real contribution to the NFT ecosystem, or is it too much to think that? You tell me.
deserves credit for building something different.
Panorama is not just another drop and it will matter for the future of the ecosystem.
