We’ve had way more questions about this collection than we expected (why so few, how to get WL, when collabs etc.), so wanted to answer them all in one place:
- Why 66? Hand-drawn art with this level of detail takes a long time to make. This single cyborg body trait took our artist over 4 hours to draw last night, and it’s still not quite finished. Given that holders will be able to brief trait/mask mutations in the future, this will be a significant ongoing time commitment until all 273 layers from our main collection are drawn. Multiplying that by 66 holders (including people’s unique traits when they hit max QP level) felt like our ceiling on a 100% free collection.
- How WL? The first 50% (33 spots) went to people holding REDACTED trait masks in our main collection - we shared this on X/Discord multiple times. Back then, the trait floor was under 0.02 $ETH. We also gave 14 of these masks away to holders and via X raffles. From there, the other 33 spots were given to people recommended by the first 33. We’ve onboarded anyone who wasn’t holding the main collection with free masks.
- When collabs? There was no collab phase, nor WL registration for Identity Protocol. We haven’t used this collection to farm engagement, we’ve pretty much stealth dropped it. Holders didn’t even know the mint date until we announced yesterday. We’ve built it to have some fun with freeform (non-pixel) artwork and reward holders, plus people they endorsed.

i don't understand why people are still paying above the floor for their fav traits.
we're going zero bro, thanks for your attention to this matter.
Everyone told me to sell my @npconchain
A week ago, I swept 150 between 0.003–0.005 ETH simply because I loved the art and felt something different in the community.
Instead of selling, I just bought a 1/1 for 1 ETH.
Why?
Because the chart isn't what has my attention.
- Holder count keeps growing
- Volume remains strong
- Every dip gets bought
- Rare traits get hunted instantly
- Genuine excitement around the art, collecting, and community
- Whales stacking hard
But also...the team. No roadmap. No whitepaper. No empty promises. Just experienced builders executing at a high level and focusing on what collectors actually care about.
That's why I spent over 2x more on a single 1/1 than I spent building my entire collection.
Maybe it's conviction. Maybe it's insanity. Either way, it feels right and no other collection has felt like this for a LONG time.

Just adopted this 1/1 from @GreenAcresNFT.
Meet Steve 🫡🌾
Steve looks like he's guarded the town gates, won a few wars, lost a few bets, and still showed up for happy hour.
What drew me to Green Acres isn't just the art. It's the idea behind it: a living town built inside Discord. Contribute, build reputation, and unlock deeper access alongside the people shaping it.
Steve is home now. I’ll take good care of him.

We’re just getting started. Roadmap 🧵
The NFT space is getting stronger
You can feel it

Unity, communication, camaraderie
