Digital Objects is a discontinued Ethereum-based marketplace that pioneered limited-edition digital art on-chain through ERC-721 tokens and built-in secondary-sale royalties for artists. Digital Objects's Twitter Score is 7.6 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #119,246 among 498,181 tracked accounts.
Digital Objects was founded by Alex Benzer and Warren Shaeffer and launched its public beta as an invite-only platform for buying, selling, and showcasing limited-edition digital artworks. Each work was minted as a unique ERC-721 token on Ethereum, with artwork metadata and creation records stored on-chain. The platform's smart contract was designed to compensate artists automatically on resale, a feature that predated the broader adoption of creator royalties in the NFT space. Digital Objects also offered tracked provenance, collector registries, and collector-only notes, and its tokens were tradeable on other ERC-721-compatible marketplaces including OpenSea and Rare Bits.
Digital Objects holds historical significance for hosting early works by XCOPY and some of the earliest AI-generated artwork to appear on a blockchain marketplace. The project was later discontinued. It was backed by Upfront Ventures, Initialized Capital, First Round Capital, and New Enterprise Associates. Digital Objects has published 90 posts and has been mentioned by 8 accounts a total of 18 times.
