Scryptals on-chain

There is not a team, there is not a first research to test the market...Scryptals derive only from the passion of a long time digital artist wanted to experiment with web3 technologies.

When I first heard about NFT artworks I was in my thirties, to many these looked useless and nonsensical, too many I would say...to me they were like crypto gems, we were starting to have the digital version of gems, just as a decade before we had started to have the digital version of money.

I imaged how a real digital gem should look like.

An NFT is basically a cryptographic unique event happening on a blockchain. This event is composed of alphanumeric characters that follow specific rules and is stored on the blockchain. I wanted to see how this event would appear through a mathematical representation, and this is how the first Scryptal came to life - a colorful, geometric, and abstract drawing generated from the unique cryptographic event and stored completely on the blockchain. It is in my mind close to what a digital-world gem would look like.

Scryptals are not only on-chain NFTs, they are also dynamic NFTs beacuse they can be evolved gaining rarity. Owners can evolve their scryptals interely on-chain, increasing rarity. Evolved scryptals improve the owner's evolving power on other scryptals.

Every scryptal constantly emits energy to its owners in the form of SCRETH tokens on Ethereum or SCRATIC tokens on Polygon, distribution will start when the first NFTs tranche of 3'141 scryptals is minted.

For every minting and evolving operation, a percentage of the price goes to charity. To allow this, I developed the smart contract with the feature to change the percentage and add other addresses to gain a percentage of the minting and evolving costs. This also makes it possible to create partnerships in which the partners would directly, automatically, in real-time, and trustlessly gain from the success of the project.
