Blog: Q1 Messari — new hero illustration

[adamsoffer]

What

Replaces the plain 5-bar hero sketch on the Q1 2026 Messari "State of Livepeer" post with a new illustration built in the brand's Holographik grid language.

The piece encodes the post's thesis visually — real-time AI video drove Q1 to all-time highs, with AI inference now ~60% of revenue:

• Ascending columns built from stacked square grid-cells — usage rising week-over-week to an all-time high.
• Luminous bottom segments = AI inference, growing from ~33% to a ~60% majority per column; faint outline cells above represent the shrinking transcoding/other share.
• ATH peak marker — crosshair + starburst node with a glow, a dashed all-time-high guide line, and a subtle blue chromatic-refraction echo (liquid-glass brand nod).
• Atmosphere — glowing baseline axis, translucent area-glow under the trend, faint tile grid, corner framing crosshairs, edge vignette.

Palette pulled from the theme tokens (green, green-bright, green-light) on the #1c1c1c canvas shared by sibling blog SVGs. Static SVG, 1200×720 to match existing dimensions — works as both the featured image and the OG/social preview, no JS needed.

Verification

Rendered in a local dev build at /blog/q1-2026-messari-state-of-livepeer — the SVG blur/glow filters render correctly in-browser and the composition sits cleanly in the post's featured-image card.

⛔ Files ignored due to path filters (1)

• public/images/blog/q1-2026-messari/websitepost.svg is excluded by !**/*.svg

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.
