More on the “Icons” collection:

The art consists of 3 pieces:
“Ada Lovelace - The Enchantress of Numbers”
“Mary Shelley - Burn”
“Gerolamo Cardano - Hypocycloid”

They will be available in 3 different tiers - Cardano - 25 $ADA, Mary - 50, Ada - 75. ImageImageImage
2/
The smart contract code & all the info about it will be identical in all the NFTs.
The artwork will be the difference.

Each piece will feature a common, uncommon & rare version. (common versions depicted above)

The distribution:
Common: 95%
Uncommon: 4.9%
Rare: 0.1%
3/
The NFTs will be served in a sequential order & the rarer versions will be randomly dispersed in the sequence of common images.
We want to make the NFTs available to everyone in the Cardano community who wants a commemorative token by which to remember this moment in time.
4/
That’s why you will be able to mint one for the next 3 Cardano epochs.
The NFTs will be available to anyone with a standard Cardano wallet, such as Yoroi, Daedalus, AdaLite, Nami or CCWallet.
5/
The link to the sale website will be posted on this twitter account shortly after the start of the Alonzo era - September 12, 2021, approximately 21:45 UTC.
6/
Now the technical side.
We decided to include the smart contract script into the NFTs in two ways:
7/
A. In the metadata of a unique minting transaction - a one-of-a-kind version of the top tier artwork.
The id of this NFT will be referenced in every other NFT from the collection and it will contain the custom smart contract script completely on-chain.
8/
Due to the size limitations of the metadata, this is a compressed version, not completely user-friendly/human-readable, however, it will compile and run, no problems.
pool.pm/3f72283d65c97e…
9/
B. In an archive, linked in the metadata of each NFT in the series and hosted on ipfs.
This contains the human readable version of the script & the generic Plutus files needed to compile it. These should be accessible to Plutus devs, but we are including them for posterity.
10/
At first you will need access to the Cardano CLI and the Cardano node with a CLI wallet to interact with the smart contract, once compiled.
@AncientKraken is also working on a more accessible version of a SC powered marketplace that will feature a GUI.
11/
Documentation for the smart contract will be available on GitHub, as well as an additional copy of the script completely open-source and forkable.
The link to the smart contract repo will be available in the metadata of the NFTs.
12/
A step-by-step explainer video on how to compile the smart contract and run the script will also be made available by the developer of the smart contract @AncientKraken.

Any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
13/
@AncientKraken has posted an in-depth explainer video on how to compile and run the royalty smart contract

Warning:
Please don’t mint the 1st NFTs on Cardano with smart contracts embedded in the metadata solely for speculation.

Mint them only if you enjoy the art and see a future for the ecosystem.

The code to run the smart contract is open-source & free.
2/
Some people are worried about exclusivity.

Keeping the sale based on a time limit alone is probably the best thing we could have done for exclusivity.

There have only been 587 tokens minted so far and that includes the ones for the giveaways and the team.
3/
We wanted this collection to be about sharing the moment with the Cardano community, not only as a celebration but by actually including a 100% functional smart contract that has been run on the Cardano mainnet shortly after the Alonzo hardfork event.

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.

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.

1/ We have partnered with Project Catalyst IdeaFest and @CatalystSwarm to recognize and reward the best presentations in the first edition of the festival. 104 attendees voted for their top proposal presentations and we had 3 winners with 14 votes each.
@CatalystSwarm 2/ The winners have received the preliminary award of a @trybbles NFT to recognize the excellent presentation of their Project Catalyst proposals.

We plan to extend the award system, so this is just a preliminary recognition.
3/ This has been the first iteration of what we hope will become an evolving and long-lasting process.
Thank you everyone for being involved and committed!
