<aside> 💩 The purpose of these measures is to ensure that the collection maintains its integrity and allows you to prove that the ordered collection remains unadulterated.

🃏 The Shuffle

Each WPOS image is firstly hashed using SHA-256 algorithm.

The order of all 10,002 assets are programmatically shuffled on our end.

A combined string is obtained by concatenating SHA-256 of each WPOS image in the specific order of this shuffle. The final proof is obtained by SHA-256 hashing this combined string. This is the final provenance record stored on the smart contract before the whitelist-sale starts.

The provenance hash is ed9edc65650b8290f9e2a32cce3d5fb0b6abf80ff6f4ed3729642705c55784ed.

✂️ The Cut

After the whitelist-sale concludes, the project founders will reserve their 25 NFTs sequentially from the last token ID of the whitelist-sale.

In order to ensure provable fairness to this point, we publicly crowdsourced a "starting index number" by ******asking the WPOS Discord community to participate in a reaction contest.

Each WPOS token ID is assigned to an artwork image from the initial sequence based on the offset of this starting index.

The starting index seed is 2444

Metadata handling and reveal process

  1. After the finalization of art assets, we shuffle all 10,002 WPOS metadata files.

  2. A provenance hash is calculated based on the final shuffled order of metadata files.

    1. ed9edc65650b8290f9e2a32cce3d5fb0b6abf80ff6f4ed3729642705c55784ed

  3. We send a transaction to the smart contract to commit the provenance hash to the blockchain.

    1. https://etherscan.io/tx/0x7ec645bd154c1cdc2166867c0cdcee829b15d70aa4ed8f60319056de4f48f47b

  4. Start and conclude the whitelist sale using unrevealed metadata:

    {
    "name": "WPOS",
    "description": "A community-driven collectibles project. WPOS™ come in a vibrant variety of colors, traits and personalities with a collection size of 10,002. Each grants its owner the power to purchase exclusive merch and to vote for experiences and activations paid for by the WORTHLESSS Community Treasury.",
    "image": "ipfs://QmSvbNNzBsqGNvqHnconZ1eUYN6MaVWeGEhqRFtuPUsbxp/hidden.png",
    "background_color": "EBECF0"
}

  5. Mint 25 founder's reserve tokens. Unrevealed metadata is also used here

  6. Our discord public community poll was used to generate a starting index seed of 2444

    1. https://discord.com/channels/884575910517428266/884575910517428269/925429248632684565

  7. We offset the shuffled metadata by the starting index seed 2444 gathered from the poll.

  8. We opened the public sale to begin serving provably fair, instant revealed metadata.
