Seasons and collections
Follow a collection from voting to settlement.

A published sequence#
Genesis must sell out before the first season starts under the current launch rules. Its 300 free NFTs have no mint deadline and allow one lifetime primary mint per wallet. The final mint opens the first paid ballot for its full voting duration. If Genesis never sells out, no deadline or operator action can start the first season. Earlier Sepolia deployments retain their original timing.
Season names, collection names, order and geometric artwork are planned before the catalog is sealed. The next collection can be prepared after the previous draw is finalized with all liabilities funded, or refunds become available after unsold expiry or the randomness timeout. Old unpaid prizes and refunds remain reserved. Each successful draw also funds its season’s holder pool. The pool unlocks only when every planned collection in that season has drawn or become refundable; unpaid prizes and refunds do not delay it. The Holders page shows settled-collection progress before and after unlock.
Preparation funds randomness, sponsorship and a 0.01 ETH executor reward separately from mint receipts, then publishes the voting schedule. After verified randomness arrives, anyone can finalize the draw. The current single-contract launch prepares the next collection in a separate, permissionless transaction once operating funds are available; earlier controller deployments can combine those actions. The protocol treasury allocation funds infrastructure costs, future functionality and Tincta projects. A scheduled opening happens at the voting deadline without another signature. The dashboard shows pending actions and the current collection’s timing.
The Mainnet catalog plans 22 seasons and 216 collections in a fixed order, each with its own colors and artwork. A planned catalog does not mean minting has opened or a season has started.
- Prepare the collection
Fund operating costs separately and publish the voting schedule.
- Vote, then mint
The voting deadline fixes the terms. The mint window follows those terms.
- Sellout → randomness → draw
Randomness recorded before the cutoff commits the draw. Finalization funds prizes, affiliates, holders and the treasury.
- Unsold or no timely randomness → refunds
Unsold expiry or the 72-hour randomness cutoff makes full mint-price refunds available.
Either finalized, fully backed draws or refund availability let the sequence advance. Old unpaid prizes and refunds stay reserved.
Check the selected collection’s terms and network before you sign.
