Turtlez WTF?

Tiny Winged Turtlez is a collection of up to 5,000 fully on-chain NFTs. There's no off-chain API or asset storage. Other than this website, Tiny Winged Turtlez uses nothing but its smart contract to function. Because all artwork and metadata is generated and stored 100% on the Ethereum blockchain. Some Turtlez are rarer than others.

An NFT is a non-fungible token that represents ownership of a digital and/or physical asset. In this case, ownership of a piece of generative art.
You can buy NFTs by funding a wallet like MetaMask with cryptocurrency purchased from an exchange like Coinbase.

Me, Tom. I'm a long-time full stack developer and entrepreneur. I've shipped web3 projects for Origin Protocol, DAOs like Shiny Object Social Club and technology companies like Bildr. I've helped deliver digital projects for the NHS, Umbro, BMW and Facebook.
My obsession with how fully on-chain pixel art projects are built meant I had to build one myself. Tiny Winged Turtlez is that project!
Fun fact: Some of my code is used in smart contracts by OpenSea.
Turtlez are generated at time of mint based on Ethereum block hashes. All traits are assigned pseudorandomly and some traits are assigned by weighted rarity. The minimum number of traits Turtlez can have is 6 and the maximum is 9.
Possible trait types and traits for Turtlez:
- Background (8)
- Type (4)
- Wing Type (8)
- Wing Color (4)
- Eyes (4)
- Bandana (5)
- Boots (5)
- Tail (2)
- Tongue (1)
Because it's testing to create a generative NFT project in a single contract, with reasonable gas fees and without uploading traits in transactions after deployment.
It's crypto-native and it looks super cool.
Credit to projects like Nouns, Anonymice and Larva Lads for leading the way in the fully on-chain pixel art category.
Many NFT projects aren't fully on-chain.
While the record of your token's mint, transfers and ownership is stored on-chain, the art and metadata that it points to isn't.
In the case of Tiny Winged Turtlez, instead of using an off-chain API or service like IPFS to serve your NFT's art and metadata, it's all fully on-chain. Meaning, your NFT will exist as you minted it for as long as the Ethereum blockchain exists.
Your Turtlez will be revealed immediately. Because all artwork and traits are assigned at the time of mint.
Because you're in it for the art. Because you think fully on-chain stuff is cool. Because you want to learn how to build your own project.
By holding 3 Turtlez, you'll get access to a course teaching you how this project was built. By holding 5 Turtlez you'll get access to all of the code.
By holding a Turtle you're automatically entered into 9 mint point triggered giveaways. For every 33.33% minted, 3 random token holders will be airdropped 1 NFT from a popular fully on-chain pixel art project, for free:
At 1,667 Turtlez minted, 3 NFTs will be airdropped. At 3,334 Turtlez minted, 3 NFTs will be airdropped. And at 5,000 Turtlez minted, 3 NFTs will be airdropped.
If all 5,000 Turtlez are minted, a total of 9 NFTs from some of the best fully on-chain projects will be given away.
If you love on-chain pixel art, you're in luck. Prizes will be chosen from some of the best NFT projects in this space.
At 33%, 66% and 100% minted, a random number generator will be used to pick a Turtle ID. The wallet that holds the corresponding Turtle will then be aidropped a prize. This will happen 3 times per stage. 9 times in total.
For provenance, this process will be screen-recorded and transactions will be shared as soon as they are made.
3 different projects will be chosen for prizes, 1 for each stage. Specific projects will be announced on Twitter as the minted Turtlez requirement approaches.
Unminted Turtlez won't be available anymore. Nothing will happen to the Turtlez you have been minted.
Using the smart contract's reduceSupply function, Turtlez available will be reduced to the number minted. For example, if 4,000 are minted, maxSupply will be set to 4,000 meaning no further Turtlez can be minted.
Afterwards, Turtlez will only be available on the secondary market like OpenSea at a price set by the owner.
The fewer Turtlez minted means fewer are available in the future.
