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.

Have questions?

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Did we miss something? DM us on Twitter to ask anything else.

Yes. ~50 million list registrations have happened on PREMINT without issue. When you sign in with PREMINT, you only are validating ownership of the wallet address. PREMINT does not get any permissions to perform transactions and does not have any way of withdrawing anything from your wallet.
Premint has been used by some of the top artists and collections in the NFT ecosystem, including XCOPY, Coldie, DeekayMotion, Cool Cats, Known Origin, Async Art, Shaq, and over 25,000 more.
Signing is the only way we can truly know that you are the owner of the wallet you are connecting. Signing is a safe, gas-less transaction that does not in any way give PREMINT permission to perform any transactions with your wallet.
PREMINT saves your wallet and social info as a part of the registration step, so you can disconnect everything afterwards and your entry is still valid.
As far as PREMINT is concerned, yes, but the project owner might check that you still own the token before finalizing the list.
If you fully registered, the only way your wallet wouldn’t be on the list of registered wallets is if the project removed it. PREMINT never deletes wallets from the list for any reason.
If you don’t know what wallet your Discord or Twitter are connected to, just go to https://premint.xyz/disconnect and you can force-disconnect them.
While creators are welcome to name their PREMINT projects whatever they like, we choose to use the term "allow list" or "access list" vs "whitelist." "Whitelist" could be considered exclusionary language, and the spirit of web3 is about inclusion.
