Welcome to Cathartes, an experiment in collective creation and ownership of an artwork reflecting the aspirations of the early Ordinal community.
An art piece about all of us
The Ordinal movement evokes a lot of different feelings. Let's celebrate this early moment by leaving an on-chain mark devoted to our minds and emotions. A timeless snapshot that will remain on chain, forever.
Art co-creation experience
A co-creation journey guided only by creators and their input. An algorithm capable of encapsulating the inner mind of both the individual and the collective. Fully on-chain.
A guided path to Ordinal movement
Enjoy the best of the two worlds - the immutable and permissionless Ordinals paired with cutting-edge Ethereum smart contact tooling. Bridge & burn when ordinal infrastructure is in place. Don't lose out on risky UX.
Pushing the boundaries of collective ownership
Own the fruits of your creativity. Join the rest of the co-creators to explore an innovative decentralized ownership model. It's that simple: the one who creates is the one who owns.
Key points
The Reflection (what you mint) is an on-chain artwork that is algorithmically generated with your input and serves as a personal reflection of your emotions and aspirations in regard to the Ordinal movement. By moving sliders that represent various emotions, the algorithm will generate the Reflection of your mind on-chain.
The Reflection is minted as an NFT (ERC-721) but will be inscribed to the Bitcoin blockchain and have a unique ordinal identifier based on your ERC-721 token ID.
All minted Reflections will combine to form one larger community-created artwork, Cathartes. Once all the Reflections are minted out, the Cathartes is minted as an NFT (ERC-1155) token and inscribed to the Bitcoin blockchain as an ordinal. Cathartes is collectively created, owned and governed by the community.
Did someone say airdrop? After all the Reflections are minted out, a snapshot will be taken, and holders of Reflections will be airdropped Cath (1 Reflection = 1 Cath).
Cath is an NFT (ERC-1155) that represents collective ownership over Cathartes. Cath can be used as a regular NFT, e.g. flex in a gallery, use it as PFP, list for sale, etc.
To reduce risks for non-technical users, the drop is happening on ETH, but the endgame for Cathartes is Bitcoin. Holders will be able to burn their Eth reflection and receive the equivalent Ordinal.
