At its core, Checks is more than just an art collection—it’s a commentary on status, identity, and decentralization in the digital world. By referencing the Twitter blue checkmark, Jack Butcher invites collectors to reflect on the meaning of verification and authority in an era where blockchain technology challenges traditional gatekeepers. The project explores themes of authenticity, status symbols, and self-sovereignty, raising the question: What does verification truly mean when it is no longer controlled by centralized entities? In this way, Checks turns a simple symbol into a thought-provoking discussion about power and value in the internet age.

Unlike static collectibles, Checks is designed to change over time, introducing a unique burn mechanic that allows holders to combine and refine their NFTs into rarer and more distinctive versions. This dynamic evolution adds a layer of gamification and personalization, rewarding engagement with the artwork itself. As holders burn their pieces, the supply contracts, creating a system where the collection is constantly reshaping itself. This interactive element reinforces Butcher’s central theme—verification is not fixed, but rather something fluid, evolving, and shaped by those who engage with it.
