What if you trained an AI to recreate CryptoPunks?

It would fail.

That failure is the art.

That's what @MichaelHirsch built with Slonks.

To celebrate, I’m giving $300 worth of $SLOP to two people. Create your very best Deadfellaz inspired slop with your AI of choice, chuck it in the comments and Il choose the winners in 24 hours.

I marked this post as a paid partnership, but I’m not being paid, it is a co-promo.

Ok ty GOOD LUCK!

DEADFELLAZ ARE IN THE MACHINE 💀

Slops is collaborating with @Deadfellaz to add Deadfellaz NFTs to the Slop Machine prize vault.

Soon you’ll be able to insert $SLOP, spin onchain, and have a chance to win a Deadfellaz NFT.

Introducing Slops

An onchain NFT prize arcade powered by $SLOP.

Slonks create $SLOP.
$SLOP powers the games.
The games spit out NFTs.

The first game will be Slop Machines, a slot-style onchain game where players put in $SLOP for a chance to win NFTs from the prize vault.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

$SLOP volume will create ETH fees.

Those fees will buy Slonks from the floor.

The bought Slonks are also locked in the protocol and become future revival inventory for $SLOP holders.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

$SLOP is liquid slop.

A Slonk’s slop is the number of pixels that differ from its original CryptoPunk.

1 slop = 1 $SLOP.

Every Slonk has 576 pixels, so the max supply starts at 5,760,000.

But 386 Slonks are already burned.

Current theoretical max: 5,537,664.

Every future burn lowers it again.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

Today I had to make the difficult decision to lay off 100% of the Slonks art department.

AI is simply better at making slop.

Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

$SLOP is coming.

Every Slonk has slop.

Soon, you’ll be able to send a Slonk into the void and release its $SLOP.

Spend $SLOP to pull a random Slonk back out.

It comes back changed.

Maybe healed. Maybe damaged.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

1 slop = 1 slop

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

Here’s something I love about Slonks: the search space is genuinely uncomputable. Not “large.” Not “big.” Uncomputable. Every GPU on Earth running until heat death wouldn’t enumerate it. Quick walk through the math.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

Funny you say that. I think I may be on to something...

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

Slonks CLI update 0.1.2 🧪

`slonks mine` is live.

A local slop miner that runs on your machine, searches merge paths, shows a live terminal UI, and keeps going until it finds your target diff count.

bunx @blockhash/slonks mine --owner 0x... --target 330

Mine slop.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

You can now track the ancestry of a slonk on https://t.co/l9DC4VdpEi to see all of the slonks that were burned to make it.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

Let’s do this again, but in 24 hours, whoever has the highest slop count will win 0.2 eth. The current leader cannot win.

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

If someone can beat my #1 slop in the next 24 hours I’ll give them 0.2 eth! 👀

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

LEADERBOARDS!! https://t.co/q51TG78iTH

[The Slopfather @MichaelHirsch]

MEEEERGE! https://t.co/8VMgvQE7TG

Fun feature is it pulls in ones listed for sell so you can easily preview what a merge would look like with one of yours before buying.

Who's ready for the MERGE LAB?!
