₥є₥єภ†๏ร: launch mementos isn’t just a collection. it’s a system. a mechanism for creative exchange. a way to align incentives between creator and collector. when you mint a memento: → 70% of the mint locks into a vault, always yours to reclaim. → 30% flows to me, to fund work, experiments, and bigger swings - online and off. each memento is a credit - an 1155 token you can redeem (or trade) to: → unlock new works → claim allowlists or physicals → commission something personal → or simply withdraw your eth redemptions burn supply. less onchain = more meaning. when supply contracts, the work expands. the mint date: wednesday, august 20 time: 1:11pm ET / 10:11am PT US supply: 6,969 (phase one cap) price: 0.0369 eth limit: 42 per wallet allowlist phases***: 1- og 1/1 holders (2 hours to mint) 2- all modest holders (2 hours to mint) 3- friends of the project (2 hours to mint) 4- signup list (2 hours to mint) 5- public (if any remain) ***allowlists are cumulative, meaning if you miss your window, your spot will carry over into the next phase mint proceeds will be initially vaulted into a gnosis safe and then deposited into the refund contract. Send and receive/redeem functionality will turn on shortly thereafter. the shape of supply this first set is finite - capped at 6,969. scarcity creates meaning. every redemption contracts supply. but if mementos are going to live at the center of everything i build, the system can’t be closed forever. i don’t want this to become a gated club where only early holders can participate. also, while mementos will be part of everything i do, it will not be the only financial mechanic to interact with me and my work. mementos is not a financial system. It is a creative system - a framework for exchange and engagement. with time and growth, expansion will come - but never careless, and never at the expense of those who believed first. here are some paths i’m exploring for future expansion: new tranches: capped waves, new mementos, new tokens, new redemption mechanics burn-to-mint: growth requires destruction. nothing free, nothing infinite. curves: bonding curve supply - always open, always scarce. event-based unlocks: new supply tied to milestones, bodies of work, or irl events. none of this is promised. it’s a toolkit. a way to let the system breathe if it needs to, without breaking its bones. phase one is the root. every redemption makes it stronger. future phases may branch, but the foundation stays. in closing I’m humbled by the energy and enthusiasm stirring about this collection. I designed this to stand with you as we build together. I hope that is clear. We’re cutting a new path here. a fairer flow of value. between us. redeem to open. redeem to discover. redeem to build. redeem to belong. redeem to walk away. each act cuts supply, each burn sharpens what remains. no hype. no roadmap. just a cycle: art into action. value into circulation. creation into return. this is not just an edition mint. it’s a structural shift. from me, to you - and back again. ₥
