Vitalik: Supports the use of the new image compression mode TiTok for on-chain image storage

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin introduced a new image compression mode called "Token for Image Tokenizer" (TiTok) on the decentralized social media platform Farcaster, stating that "320 bits is basically just a hash value. Small enough for every user to put on-chain."

It is reported that TiTok was developed by researchers from ByteDance and the Technical University of Munich, capable of compressing images into 32 small data blocks (bits) without losing quality. According to the TiTok research paper, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) image compression allows TiTok to compress a 256x256 pixel image into "32 discrete tokens."
