What You Collect
Each mint receives the next available token from a 1,000-work ERC-721 art collection. Every work is unique, but there are no rarity traits, hidden ranks, or rarity sniping mechanics.
Apotosis is meant to be collected visually: as digital art shaped by selection, scarcity, and the market mechanics surrounding its release.
Reveal
Minted artworks reveal individually after purchase. Unsold artworks remain hidden until they are minted, so the full collection is not exposed ahead of the sale.
Recent revealed works will populate the work grid as mint activity appears on-chain.
Provenance
The final artwork order is prepared before launch. A provenance hash can be published on-chain so the ordering can be checked after metadata is complete.
Metadata can be frozen after final confirmation, reducing the ability to change token artwork later.
Adaptive Pricing
Price rises when minting is ahead of the 30-day schedule and falls when minting is behind schedule. The minimum price is 0.005 ETH and the maximum price is 0.5 ETH.
If you mint multiple works, each item is priced sequentially. The total shown is the full estimated price for the selected quantity.
Primary Split
Primary mint ETH splits automatically during each successful mint: 10% to the artist wallet and 90% to the treasury wallet.
The mint contract will not retain normal sale proceeds. The treasury allocation creates the pool for the Digest process that follows the primary sale.
Treasury Digest
After minting, treasury funds are intended to buy the current floor work from the collection and burn it, permanently removing that token from circulation.
Each digest makes the surviving set smaller and more selected, echoing biological apoptosis by clearing away floor works so the strongest signal remains.

FAQ
Is there a whitelist or presale?
No whitelist or presale is planned. Apotosis is intended as a public sequential mint where collectors mint the next available work at the current adaptive price.
When can I start to mint?
Minting starts when the sale is opened on the live contract. Until then, the page will show the current status, configured network, and whether the contract is ready.
What is the mint price?
The target price is 0.05 ETH when the sale is on pace. The adaptive price can move between 0.005 ETH and 0.5 ETH depending on whether minting is behind or ahead of the 30-day schedule.
Is there a team allocation?
The intended release is a public collection of 1,000 works with no reserved team allocation. Test mints may happen on testnet only while the system is being checked.
Is there a roadmap or future utility?
No roadmap, utility, access, yield, profit, or future benefit is promised. This is an art-first release and an experiment in presenting digital work through adaptive market mechanics.
Why this release strategy?
The release is designed to make the minting process transparent and visible. Price responds to pace, minted works reveal individually, and unsold works stay hidden until collected.
What am I actually collecting?
You are collecting one unique digital artwork from a 1,000-work ERC-721 collection. There are no rarity traits or hidden ranks; the work is meant to be judged visually and subjectively.
Where is the artwork stored?
Final metadata should point to the prepared artwork files through the project metadata setup. Minted tokens reveal their final metadata after purchase, and metadata can be frozen once the final configuration is confirmed.
What happens if the collection does not sell out?
Unsold works remain hidden until they are minted. The project does not promise a sellout, a fixed outcome, or a forced timeline beyond the published mint mechanics and admin controls.
How does the Treasury Digest decide what to buy?
The intended digest process uses treasury funds to acquire a current floor work from the collection and burn it. The exact execution depends on market availability, safe transaction handling, and published project communication.
Is the Treasury Digest guaranteed?
No. The digest is an intended treasury-side response, not an automatic mint-contract function and not a guaranteed floor support program.
Is this meant to support the floor price?
No floor price, resale value, or liquidity is promised. The digest is a conceptual scarcity and curation mechanism: it may remove works from circulation, but it should not be treated as financial assurance.
Will there be a community or Discord?
There is no promised community program or Discord requirement. Any official links will be shared through the project site or the artist's verified channels.
What rights do collectors have?
Collectors receive the NFT and can display or resell it in the usual collector context. Unless a separate license says otherwise, copyright and commercial rights remain with the artist.
Are there any guarantees or expectations?
No. There are no guarantees around price, liquidity, resale value, royalties, marketplace support, future drops, utility, or ongoing development. Collect because you want the work and want to support the experiment.
