charts

in a world defined by price movement
we're only satisfied when the numbers go up ↑
...but
what happens
when we
remove price
from the
equation?
patterns form their own meaning
& a new value system is created.
phase 1

mint your chart

each chart starts out as a blank canvas of 7 unrevealed bars

phase 2

discover your pattern

your chart will automatically generate a new bar each day, revealing a unique pattern

phase 3

elevate your collection

burn items in your collection to create new combinations

& climb the ranks

burn 2 charts from the same tier,
create a new chart from the next tier

•up to 2 mints max per wallet

[ reveal ]

•24 hours after the official drop, each chart will update daily @ 0:00 UTC using chainlink automation

•when a chart updates, a random number is generated to determine the height and color of that day's bar

•after 7 days, all numbers will be generated & everyone's charts will be fully revealed

•the formula for determining the values (the height of each bar) is: value(day, tokenId) = seeded_random(day, tokenId, random_seed)

[ burn ]

•burn 2 charts to craft 1 new higher-tier chart

•the pattern of your new chart is determined by the charts you burn

•each chart elevation permanently changes the outcomes of future chart elevations for everyone

•this mechanism parodies market manipulation by giving all users equal power to influence the collection's future

the system uses a global seed value stored in the smart contract. this seed determines all elevation outcomes. each time someone elevates a chart, the seed is updated, altering the future elevation results for all charts in the collection.

TLDR

charts is a generative art collection on base where we value pattern > price
