The operational half of ChainBloom: how a museum, festival, school or community group runs a world as a real public programme, and what it owes the people who take part.

A ChainBloom makes a good public programme because it has an ending. This section is written for whoever has to run it: the budget, the wall text, the staffing, the consent, the moderation policy, and the access you owe anyone who walks in the door.

Who this section is for#

You are commissioning, producing, teaching or hosting, and you need practical answers before you can say yes. How much does it cost. Who signs. What do we tell a visitor with no wallet. What happens if someone contributes something we would rather not show. What happens to the work after closing night.

The audiences section explains what ChainBloom offers different readers. This section explains how to run it in public, with your name on it.

The five pages#

Organizations, exhibitions and public programs What kinds of programme fit, what the budget actually buys, and how to judge success without counting trades.

Running a world as an exhibition A staffed station, the wall text, visitors without wallets, and what happens to the work after the show.

Education and classroom use A term-length shape, consent and age, who holds the keys, cost per student, and a version that spends nothing.

Community moderation and participant privacy A confirmed contribution cannot be removed, so moderation happens before and around it. What that means in practice.

Accessibility for creative worlds Text alternatives, a still for every motion, colour that is never the only signal, and cost in plain words.

Four things to say out loud in every programme#

  1. A confirmed cannot be removed from Bitcoin by anyone: not the contributor, not the artist, not the venue, not us.
  2. Taking part costs a real network fee paid to miners, plus 1,000 satoshis held in each live path and released when that path is completed.
  3. There is nothing to own, sell or earn here. No token, no edition, no certificate, no resale.
  4. The public index is not switched on yet, so nobody can browse confirmed worlds today. Link people to what is running instead of describing a service that is not there.

Everything else in this section is detail hanging off those four sentences. If a programme cannot survive being described that plainly, it is the wrong programme.

What fits, what the budget buys, what you must never promise, and how to tell whether it worked.

For you Museums and cultural organizations Programme a ChainBloom world as a commission: what to budget for real network fees, how to keep it accessible, what survives the run, and what to put on the wall. For you Educators What a class actually learns by running a ChainBloom world (shared state, ordering, irreversibility, and collaboration), plus the real limits on cost, consent, age, and keys. Example worlds A museum exhibition Visitors shape a bounded work across the run of a show, and the finished history stays readable long after the walls come down.
