🚨 IC Bucks @ic_bucks WORK IN PROGRESS 🚨 Everyone already knows the collection, one of the OG collections from 2022. As a collector myself, being able to collect my NFTs safely is one of my main goals. Due to circumstances out of my reach, that has been a big issue since launch. When I started talking with @Toko_app I realised a fresh start might be needed. But starting over never made sense to me. The original collection is still fresh today. So the question became: what can I add that makes it better while respecting the original idea? One of the things I've been working on is something I haven't seen in any other NFT. It's called Condition. The idea: instead of static images, IC Bucks become truly dynamic NFTs. After hundreds of hours mixing game theory with the concept of the collection, I landed on something simple. We track the number of times a bill has been sold. Every sale is another pair of hands. And hands leave marks. Fresh from the mint, a bill is Pristine. The more hands it passes through, the further it goes: Circulated, Worn, Damaged, Destroyed. Folds, grime, soft edges, scuffed foil. The bill carries its own history on its face. Wallets too. Leather picks up patina and grime, chrome and holo lose their shine, denim fades. Same five states, same rule: only hands change them. What does NOT age a bill: Holding it. Sitting in a wallet for years does nothing. Listing it. Take it on and off the market all you like. Only a completed sale counts. Nothing to farm, nothing to fake without paying for it. No two bills age the same way. Each bill's number seeds its own wear: where it folds, where the grime settles, which corners give first. Two bills in the same condition never show the same damage. Your bill's wear is yours alone. Which is the best state? That's the point, there isn't one. Some of you will never let your bill get touched. Some of you will want the most travelled bill in the collection. Both are collecting. To be clear: this is a work in progress. The rendering works, the rules are a draft, and any of it can change: the number of states, their names, what counts as a hand. Some of it may also have to change for technical reasons. Reading sales on-chain, updating the art, keeping it all in sync: none of that is final yet, and what's possible will shape what ships. But i wanted to show you a piece of what i´ve been working on in these past months. Hope you like it. EV
