🦋Project CicadaNFT (a thread)

In early April 2021, CicadaNFT was conceived because we wanted to be one of the early 10k #NFT Project on #Cardano

#CNFT #CardanoCommunity #NFThistory
A keepsake for us to mark when Native Tokens Minting was possible and just before the the arrival of Smart Contracts📜

Creating the 🔨Minting system was no easy feat and took many weeks to write and test on the Cardano's Testnet
We pioneered an⚖️auction biding system where a bid for an Id can be specified using the last 4 digits of (ada) lovelace

Bids made to the Minter would be updated live to our website's UI using data directly from the🪢blockchain (cicadanft.com/mint)

9959-9940:
For the #NFTs design

We chose the 🦋Magicicada because of the once in a 17-year event: The Brood X Emergence in May 2021

The ancient CicAda's have been around for 40-200 million years, and a fitting emblem🔱🍀 for the $Ada that runs the @Cardano network

9939-9920:
The🦋Cicadas also span the globe🌎like the #Cardano blockchain

(And also has Ada as a part of its name)

The abstract geometric design of a 100 'blocks'◻️◼️,simple at first glance, but combined to be something more

The emergent potential of networks 🌐🦋

Is my 🦋CicAda #NFT a Shiny ?

TL;DR
• Look for these Palette values: 0, 100, 150, 250 as they indicate a +-50 mutations (and usually visually distinct)
• 2-Colored are rarer than 3-Colored

For Expert CicAda🦋Appraisers🧐the visual pattern on the Cicada's 'blocks' can also be important:

The 'Diamond' 💎blocks in the Body are mirrored and the 2 Gems in the Wings are almost mirrored.

Humans like symmetry and this could be a higher-grade 🦋 Image
