# Overview

Blanks is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of on-chain applications, and Blanks Unlimited offers a glimpse of what's coming. This platform provides an enjoyable and inspiring way for anyone to create and inscribe high quality pixel art at a very low cost.

Similar to the Blanks Genesis collection, Blanks Unlimited uses [delegation](https://docs.blanks.is/blanks-genesis/replication#delegation) to save money and reduce complexity. And since it draws the image instead of relying on an uploaded file, the quality looks great at all sizes.

So how does it work?

## The Source Inscription

We've inscribed the Blanks Unlimited application at [**4fb16cb8362e117f671fdbc105d6738887cd58432d25cec328212e217426f4fdi0**](https://ordinals.com/inscription/4fb16cb8362e117f671fdbc105d6738887cd58432d25cec328212e217426f4fdi0). When you hover over this inscription you'll see a menu icon in the top right. Clicking on the menu icon opens up a canvas where you can create your own pixel art.

## The Canvas

The canvas is a simple tool for drawing single pixels or filling contiguous pixels with your chosen colors.

## Inscription

Next, use this metadata to save your art on-chain forever. Your inscription consists of two parts: the source inscription **4fb16cb8362e117f671fdbc105d6738887cd58432d25cec328212e217426f4fdi0** as the delegate, and the metadata you just copied.

We do not provide the tools to create your inscriptions. Instead we recommend you use a trusted 3rd party provider like [Chisel](https://docs.blanks.is/blanks-unlimited/inscription/via-chisel), or the less expensive [ord command line tool](https://docs.blanks.is/blanks-unlimited/inscription/via-ord-command-line) if you have the technical expertise.
