We didn't know we were early. We just kept showing up.
Connecting MetaMask to links we shouldn't have. Minting from the contract on Etherscan when the site fell over. Awake at 3am, refreshing for the next drop.
It felt like a habit. It was a head start.
Frontrunning the culture isn't beating a market. It's being early to the whole thing, so early most of us never noticed we're the ones writing it.
FRONTRUN is a homage to us. Everyone who ever connected a wallet, minted from a contract, sat up overnight for a drop. One block at a time.

The art is built from your wallet. The address is the material the work is made of.
Traits and palette are set once, at mint. The permanent identity of the piece. The numbers in the holding address map the motion, the tunnel, the form. In some, the address itself becomes the tunnel.
So when a piece changes hands it stays itself, same runner, same colours, and repaints its world for whoever holds it. New tunnel, new digits, new motion. Every transfer is the same piece running a new lane.

A lot of on-chain art still keeps its image on a server. FRONTRUN keeps all of it on Ethereum. The art, the data, and the picture, fully on-chain. Nothing hosted, nothing to rot.
Permanence here is a property of how it's built. Every one a 1/1, on Ethereum.
