About the Project

ABOUT

Crystory is an NFT that represents history as art. Each NFT is representing a historical figure as an 8-bit pixel art. At launch, the collection holds 3869 so called "Crystory". Beside the 8-bit pixel art, some metadata (name, century, birthdate, category) are stored secure and forever in the blockchain. Crystory is based on the ERC-721 Non-Fungible Token Standard of the Ethereum Blockchain. In addition, the image and other metadata is also stored in a distributed manner via a so-called IPFS (InterPlanetary File System). The ideas behind Crystory are focused in a very community driven approach. The first roadmap ideas were invested by a group of people and expanded by the community. The Crystory project is about to extend in various ways.

START

We started this amazing project to give history and famous people the appreciation it deserves! History has shaped the present, let's shape that history securely and sustainably on the Blockchain.

Jan. 2022
ALPHAS ARE BORN

Smart contract is live on the ethereum mainet and with this, the four famous alphas are born. The first very important project step has been taken. We plan to extend the crystory ecosystem with more smart contracts, functions and NFT-collections.

Feb. 2022
PRESALE

The first big event is happening! We enable collectors to get one of 100 whitelisting places to safe mint to participate on the crystory project. With this step, of course, we want to achieve visibility and strengthen the community. But we are not interested in just pushing the project in the short term. We are focused in a very sustainable, transparent and stable project process. More of those events are following.

TBA
PARODY CRYSTORY-TWIN

As already said, Crystory is a community project. We are planning more than just collect and hold digital art. We are also focused on web3 features in our dApp (crystory.art). Every Crystory comes with a unique and one-time ticket to generate a parody-crystory twin. We will enable a feature were every collector can embellish and beautify his work of art. Depending on the rarity of the original Crystory, you can choose from different artifacts. Only one twin can be created from the original. The parody-twin can be traded separately. The twin is getting the same #id as the original crystory.

TBA
DIGITAL MUSEUM

We would like to found a digital nft museum. Our goal is to give history the appreciation it deserves! A museum would be the first start. This milestone is still in its early stages. But we already have some ideas:

  • the ability to spend or loan digital art (with the possibility to generate rewards)
  • generate rewards from entry tickets
  • digital representation in the metaverse
  • cooperate with „real“ museums
  • host and organize virtual vernissage events

FUTURE
AIRDROP

From time to time we plan various airdrops. The first airdrop will take place in connection with the public mint event. The first 50 public minter will get a unique „retro things“ 8-bit pixel (1/1) style airdrop.

FUTURE
Enter the Metaverse

The art we create and that you can own should be accessible everywhere (in real life, in virtual life, and in the metaverse). Exemplary illustrations can be found here: AR/ VR/ Metaverse feeling. More to be announced soon.

FAQ

Crystory is an NFT that represents history as art. Each NFT is representing a historical figure as an 8-bit pixel art. At launch, the collection holds 3869 so called "Crystory". Beside the 8-bit pixel art, some metadata (name, century, birthdate, category) are stored secure and forever in the blockchain.

You can mint a Crystory during the public mint event on crystory.art. If the public mint phase is closed, it's only possible by purchasing and trading (for example via opensea).

Yes, the collection is fitting the ERC-721 NFT standard and is available on opensea. Available here: https://opensea.io/collection/crystory

Crystory.art as a decentraliced app (dApp) is the front-end, communicating with the smart contract deployed on the blockchain. On Crystory.art you can view your art-set (NFT wallet), see the last minting activities and transfer your NFT to another ETH-address. The website is the main communication channel to our Crystory-holders. We will announce new features and will build further features directly into the dApp. The entire minting process is handled on crystory.art.

We plan to transform history into art and store it securely and sustainably using blockchain. The art we create and that you can own should be accessible everywhere (in real life, in virtual life, and in the metaverse). We plan to expand the collection by 20-40 new historical personalities every year.

You can print your Crystory in whatever resolution you want. Because of the 8-Bit style, it's possible to resize without quality loss. You can represent your Crystory in real life as well as in the virtual life. A QR code can be used to verify authenticity and ownership. We also plan to bring the Crystory-art into metaverse.

The image itself is stored on Pinata, an peer-to-peer content based interplanetary file-system (ipfs). The base image has a resolution of 64x53 pixel, but thanks to the 8-bit style, it's possible to resize to whatever size you want without quality loss.

Beside the image, some metadata (name, century, birthdate, category) are stored directly in the blockchain. In addition, the same metadata is stored on an peer-to-peer content based interplanetary file-system (ipfs). This metadata is passed on to opensea.
