TalkingTree is the first ever decentralized, collaborative, creative writing NFT project.

Every user can create a short block of text and add it anywhere on the tree, extending some existing story branch, or starting a completely new one. Each block is minted as an NFT, which is owned by the user. The user can keep the NFT, gift it, or sell it on an exchange.

The price for minting a block starts at 0.001 MATIC, and increases by 0.001 MATIC every time someone mints a new block. For all future sales done through OpenSea, the original creator of a block receives 5% of the proceeds.

The tree is displayed by an algorithm that prioritizes popular branches. The subtrees with the largest number of blocks are displayed first, and the remaining subtrees are displayed to the right of them. In other words, branches with higher activity are displayed more prominently on the screen.

The blocks and the tree structure are stored on the Polygon Mainnet chain, so they should be there forever. All metadata can be recreated from the data stored on the chain. The NFTs follow the ERC1155 standard, which is compatible with most NFT marketplaces.
