[1. INTRODUCTION AND VISION]
[drawdinals is an Ordinals-based art collection on the Bitcoin blockchain. Each "drawdinal" is a hand-drawn face with a unique gold-based rarity. Unlike standard "generative" NFTs, drawdinals celebrates personal artistry, authenticity, and the permanence of Bitcoin Ordinals.]
[• Initially, the mysterious founder launched 5,000 meticulously drawn pieces, each to be inscribed on-chain.]
[• Now, with "draw your own drawdinal," the collection can expand to 10,000; 5,000 by the mysterious founder and 5,000 more from the community.]
[• Runic Gold underpins a dynamic reward system that incentivizes both holding and creating.]
[By merging genuine hand-drawn faces with a novel token economy, we aim to push the boundaries of art, scarcity, and collaborative engagement on Bitcoin.]
[2. BACKGROUND: FROM CRITI CATS TO drawdinals]
[2.1 Criti Cats Origins]
[Before drawdinals, there was Criti Cats, a 10,000-piece NFT experiment on Polygon. Rather than "statistical rarity," Criti Cats introduced crowd ranking; collectors chose their favorite cat, and real-time selection determined rarity. This taught us:]
[1. Hand-drawn art can indeed scale to thousands of images, marrying artistry with community.]
[2. Utility often lies in process and participation, not just in "extra features."]
[3. Innovative rarity models can redefine how we approach NFT collections.]
[2.2 Evolution into drawdinals]
[drawdinals inherits the hand-drawn ethos and community emphasis from Criti Cats but shifts focus to Bitcoin Ordinals plus a "gold grade" rarity system. Initially, 5,000 faces were fully drawn by one artist. With the new approach, we aim for 10,000 total; half from the community. Alongside that expansion comes Runic Gold, a token that rewards creativity; you mine it by making art.]
[3. WHAT ARE drawdinals?]
[3.1 Hand-Drawn Faces on Playing Cards]
[The first 5,000 drawdinals began as physical ink sketches on blank playing cards; no layering software, no undo. Each card's face is unique in emotion, posture, and style.]
[• Physical Origins: Each piece was drawn offline, then scanned and digitized.]
[• One-of-a-Kind Expressions: Subtle differences in line, mood, and technique ensure genuine uniqueness.]
[3.2 Pixelation and File Size Constraints]
[Because drawdinals reside on Bitcoin Ordinals, size matters:]
[• Threshold Pixelation: Original scans are pixelated to remain inscription-friendly yet visually coherent.]
[• Black & White + Gold: By limiting color to black/white/gold, we minimize file weight while emphasizing each face's unique gold accents.]
[3.3 Gold Grades and Rarity]
[Instead of replicating Criti Cats' "crowd ranking," drawdinals feature a "gold grade" rarity concept. Each face's percentage of gold positions it on a 42-tier scale; ranging from 0% to 100% gold coverage.]
[1. Exponential Distribution: Scarcer gold coverage yields fewer items in that grade.]
[2. Truly Non-Fungible: Every face is hand-drawn, not simply layered from code.]
[3. Visible On-Chain: Because each image is inscribed directly on Bitcoin, anyone can confirm its gold composition.]
[4. DRAW YOUR OWN drawdinals]
[To grow from 5,000 to 10,000, we invite community members to draw their own drawdinals.]
[4.1 Community Expansion from 5,000 to 10,000]
[• Original Benchmark: 5,000 faces drawn by the mysterious founder.]
[• New Submissions: Another 5,000 accepted from the community; each must meet basic guidelines (face motif, etc.).]
[4.2 Submission & Curation Process]
[1. Create & Submit — make a face design using the portal so it fits the required pixel dimensions and style.]
[2. Upload it via drawdinals.com or another official site.]
[3. A curation team verifies aesthetic quality and viability.]
[4. Top submissions will be included in the final set, doubling each gold grade.]
[5. Higher-ranked faces receive higher gold grades and thus better Runic Gold payouts.]
[4.3 Rewarding Creativity]
[• Free Mint Whitelist: Accepted submissions earn a whitelist slot for the drawdinals free mint.]
[• Runic Gold Allocation: The best faces might receive 100,000 RG, while the bottom tier receives 2,000.]
[5. RUNIC GOLD: A MINI WHITEPAPER]
[Runic Gold is the fuel powering the drawdinals economy. It rewards both creation and collection. Think of it as a mining system powered not by computing power, but by creativity.]
[• "Runic" alludes to mystic or ancient symbolism.]
[• "Gold" connects to scarcity and value.]
[6. ROADMAP AND FUTURE PLANS]
[• Complete 5,000 originals + 5,000 community drawdinals]
[• Monthly Runic Gold airdrops based on rank & holding time]
[• Build secondary browsing platform for all drawdinals]
[7. DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULES]
[• Public schedules for both drawdinal mint & Runic Gold airdrops will be released before the full launch.]
[8. CONCLUSION]
[Drawdinals = hand-drawn + community-driven + gold-based rarity. It rewards creativity, authenticity, and participation. Let's shape 10,000 unique faces — one orange rectangle at a time.]
