We are happy to announce that in association with @AncientKraken, @CardanoDan & @ReliableStaking, we’ll be launching the first Art NFTs with smart contract capabilities on Cardano, shortly after the Alonzo hardfork, on September 12.
The “Icons” collection.

Over the past weeks, we have worked closely with The @AncientKraken on crafting, what will be, the first smart contract on Cardano to pay residuals (i.e. royalties) to artists on resales of their works.

This will be the first iteration of the contract, that’s based on a compile first, trust second approach and will require technical expertise to execute, as such it will be entirely optional.

Apart from its functional capability, we want this series of NFTs to serve as a historical artifact, marking the moment smart contract capabilities arrived on the Cardano mainnet.

But this is not just a celebratory series, the NFTs will contain in their metadata an actual functioning smart contract, written by one of the Cardano community’s trusted developers.

In order to prevent “the click wars” that we’ve seen in the CNFT space, with drops selling out in minutes (sometimes, possibly to bots) we want to enable everyone with us in the Cardano community to participate in this event and own a piece of Cardano history.

As such, we have taken the decision to lock the collection based on time, instead of quantity - 3 Cardano epochs.
After 3 epochs the policy will lock and no more NFTs will ever be minted again - marking your participation in this pivotal moment in Cardano history.

However, we want to maintain the individuality of each piece, so all NFTs will be numbered and served in sequential order. If you’re interested in acquiring a low serial number it may be worthwhile to mint your NFT early, on September 12th, or shortly after.

The collection, entitled “Icons”, will feature portrayals of Cardano’s most important namesake figure, Ada Lovelace, Gerolamo Cardano, and Mary Shelly.
