We're building a community around digital tulips.


Our tulips are programmatically generated, genetically expressive, environmentally responsive and provably unique. They live on the Ethereum blockchain as NFTs. Each tulip is a beautiful, unpredictable piece of digital art. Soon, you'll be able to plant, grow, breed and exchange them. Texel Tulips is an online gaming experience, a digital art installation, and a social community.

Get Involved


We're putting a lot of thought into how to algorithmically generate tulips. Preview what our tulip NFTs will look like, and create and save your own random tulips, with our (off-blockchain) tulip generator.

Ask us anything. The Texel Tulips community is growing on Discord, and you're invited.
