Onchain seasons and voting
Use eligible NFTs to vote on the next collection’s mint terms.

Tincta Genesis#
Genesis holders vote on the first paid collection. Its free mint, first-season sellout requirement and ongoing affiliate eligibility are explained in the dedicated Genesis guide.
One eligible NFT, one vote#
Genesis NFTs qualify only for the first paid ballot, with one current-owner vote per NFT. Later voting power is the number of eligible paid NFTs you held immediately before voting opened. Only previously successful, revealed and fully backed official paid collections qualify. Transferring a paid NFT after that snapshot does not give its recipient another vote.
Each ballot offers complete packages of collection terms. The package with the most votes wins. A tie selects the lowest-numbered tied option; if nobody votes, option 1 wins. The menu is fixed for the sealed catalog.
For paid collections, mint price is at least 0.01 ETH. Supply is 1,000–65,536 NFTs and remains fixed once minting opens. Mint duration is 1–24 hours. There can be 1–10 winning NFTs, excluding 7 and 9 because the prize allocation must divide exactly.
For illustration, a successful collection of 1,000 NFTs at 0.01 ETH collects 10 ETH: 6 ETH for prizes, 2 ETH for affiliates, 1 ETH for season holders and 1 ETH for the treasury. This example assumes at least one qualifying affiliate. If none qualifies, the 2 ETH affiliate allocation joins the 1 ETH operator treasury, making 3 ETH withdrawable after the successful draw. The treasury funds infrastructure costs, future functionality and Tincta projects.
Paid votes use source groups of up to 16 collections. Each source balance can be consumed once per ballot. The single-contract launch does not automatically import NFTs from older deployments. Earlier releases retain their own voting-vault and historical eligibility rules.
- Snapshot eligible ownership
The contract uses the eligible NFTs held immediately before voting opens.
- Vote for a published package
Each eligible NFT adds one vote. A package includes price, supply, winner count and duration.
- The voting deadline arrives
The winning package becomes final and minting opens. No activation signature is needed.
Paid NFTs use ownership snapshots. Genesis uses one current-owner vote per NFT in the first ballot only. Fixed allocation percentages are outside the ballot.
j* = min { j : vⱼ = max(v₁, …, vₘ) }
- vⱼ
- Total eligible NFT votes for published option j.
- j*
- The winning option, using 1-based option order here.
The highest vote total wins. Ties choose the first tied option in published order. If every total is zero, the first published option wins.
The deadline opens minting#
At the exact voting deadline, voting closes and the winning terms become final. No additional signature is required to open minting. Nobody, including the operator, can pause, upgrade, postpone or change a live collection.
Check the selected collection’s terms and network before you sign.
