# Art on Bitcoin > Generative's mission is to to bring on-chain art to every home. [Generative](https://generative.xyz/) is the first on-chain art platform on Bitcoin. It was launched on Feb 10, 2023. Snowfro’s development of ArtBlocks on Ethereum in 2020 was a huge breakthrough in the world of digital art — bridging gen art and NFTs. Generative builds on ArtBlocks' innovation, with some major differences. • Generative is built on Bitcoin (thanks to [Ordinals](https://docs.ordinals.com/)). • Generative makes it easy for artists to [launch their art on Bitcoin](https://docs.generative.xyz/broken-reference). • Every artwork on Generative is stored on-chain on Bitcoin (no IPFS). • Generative creates [hardware](https://generative.xyz/display), too — designed specifically for the ultimate on-chain art experience with living rendering and real-time interactivity. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
