Inspiration

Inspired by TV, film, anime, the metaverse, and gaming culture, we set out to create something legendary that would exist eternally in the lore of Web3 and the metaverse. Drawing inspiration from the story of the legendary teenage drug dealer Shiny Flakes in the Netflix series "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)," "The Matrix," where taking a pill reveals a whole new world, and "One Piece," an anime about pirates who eat rare, treasured Devil Fruits for unique and extreme powers, we created NFTY FLAKE — the first dark market item of the metaverse and a rare treasure to behold.

What It Does

NFTY FLAKES transcends typical NFT art, embedding a powerful number system with unique, randomly generated stats based on visual trait rarity, scaling across any world. Each flake features:

  • Base: A randomly generated number from 0-1050, acting as the base power level.
  • Freq: A random allocation among the vibrational frequencies of the 7 chakras, crucial for unlocking power potential. Frequencies include 396 Hz, 417 Hz, 528 Hz, 639 Hz, 741 Hz, 144 Hz, and 963 Hz.
  • Sync: A set of two generated numbers that apply either a buff (+sync) or a penalty (-sync) based on vibrational synchronicity.
  • Cap: A random number from 0-7 that acts as a base level and sync multiplier cap when the right conditions are met.

Example power stats:

  • Base: 644
  • Freq: 741 Hz, 144 Hz, 417 Hz, 963 Hz
  • Sync: +347, -7
  • Cap: *5

How We Built It

We meticulously designed the flakes in Figma, creating 375 individual traits for rare and unique combinations, using the HashLips Art Engine in Node.js. We empowered our artwork with our power.js script, which randomly assigns power stats to the NFT metadata based on artwork trait type. Our images and metadata are stored using Web3.storage, and we developed our NFT minting smart contract. The front end, built with Next.js, brings our Figma designs to life, allowing interaction with the smart contract.

Challenges We Ran Into

Initially, we envisioned a power system with traits like superhuman strength, metal claws, or mind control. However, we realized this limited the scalability and flexibility needed for the various lores of Web3 and the metaverse. We pivoted to a number-based system, which allows for more flexible and unique interpretations across different worlds.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

We're proud of the style and aesthetic of our artwork and frontend. The successful creation of a unique power system adds magical, treasure-like value to our NFTs, something we hope will be celebrated in the world of Web3.

What We Learned

We learned how to deploy smart contracts on the Tron blockchain and integrate these contracts into our frontend.

What's Next for NFTY FLAKES

Look forward to the legend of NFTY FLAKES growing, "The Flaky Road," our very own dark market, the rules of power, and much more.
