03 / THE CODE

UNDER THE SHADOWS.

Twenty-five smart contracts sync working together fully-onchain. Think of them as the collection’s ownership record, art workshop, and rulebook.

25 SMART CONTRACTS

Fully-onchain art

The contracts hold the sprite data and generate the artwork and trait metadata directly onchain.

Onchain ownership

ERC-721 is the NFT standard that tracks which wallet owns each Shadow.

Agentic wallets

A token-bound wallet to interact, sign, receive, send and hold assets for each Shadow.

Quantum evolution

The evolution engine checks sacrifices and applies trait changes.

04 / WHAT COMES WITHIN

YOUR SHADOWY TOOLKIT.

Traits and rarity

Pick a trait to explore the pixels and details that make up a Shadow. Its rarity rank depends on how uncommon its art traits are among surviving Shadows and can shift after an evolution or sacrifice.

Shadow and Light

These key traits count the pixels in the artwork that make a shadow. We are all made of shadow and light after all.

Interactive artwork

The onchain artwork responds when you click or tap it. Try switching between PFP and full body, turning your Shadow, or entering Spirit mode. Download either view as SVG, PNG, or GIF below.

Shadow Wallet

Each Shadow has an address that can hold supported assets. The current NFT owner controls it.
