What makes Relic unique and the first of its kind?

Powered by the latest innovations in the ordinal standard, Satoshi Relics is uncompromisingly novel, scarce, and Bitcoin native.

Each Relic is not arbitrary, but is pegged to a specific transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Relic is not just generative art; it is the underlying Bitcoin network manifested as scarce, collectible art.

What makes Relic bitcoin native?

As we interpret the ordinal standard, we believe it was designed to create digital artifacts.

Digital artifacts are objects that are owned, complete, permissionless, uncensorable, and immutable.

Satoshi Relics is the ultimate digital artifact collection as it is the only collection that captures the entire history of the Bitcoin blockchain as scarce ordinals.

Why are Relics scarce?

Each Relic is pegged to a specific transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain. Once pegged, no other Relic can be created from the same transaction, forever.

For somebody to want to own the same Relic, they would need to purchase it from the original owner. No duplicates.

How are Relics generated?

Relics are generated on-chain via recursive api. This means that you do not just own a static image, but an interactive piece of art that changes over time.

Our minting experience generates Relics on-the-fly, in real-time, allowing you to preview the Relic before minting.

Learn about all the ways we visualize a transaction in our 101 guide.

Practically, what does it mean to have two collections?

Two collections means two floor prices, two volume metrics and two entries on marketplaces like Magic Eden.

Each collection's provenance can be easily distinguished via the Mythic Sigil and cryptographically via the revealing public key.

This was deliberately partitioned to ensure healthy secondary market discoverability and liquidity for different collector demands.

Can a standard Relic be upgraded to a Mythic Relic?

No. Once minted, it is forever tied to the collection it was minted in.

If you believe a prospective Relic is a Mythic Relic, we offer a bounty to elevate it to Mythic status.

How can I acquire a Mythic Relic?

Mythic Relics will be made available over time by Pob Studio via timed auctions after Standard Relics begin minting. Our mythic collection page will contain all the details about how to participate soon.

I want to mint a rare Relic, how do I do that?

Fundamentally, every Relic is rare. There are 1.3B transactions and only 10,576 Relics will be minted. This means only 0.0008% of transactions will be minted as a Relic.

Standard Relics reflect the communities appreciation for Bitcoin; transactions that are significant to you or to the community are all rare because of the story they tell.

Mythic Relics are even rarer. They present a curated selection of the most significant moments in Bitcoin history. These Relics would be globally renowned because their transactions are universally recognized.

Is there any on-chain record of the story behind a transaction?

Each Relic can include a custom written description providing the story behind the transaction.

Standard Relics can have stories optionally provided by the minter.

Mythic Relics have their stories written, researched, and reviewed by Pob Studio.

Discounts?

Yes! We offer discounts for whitelisted minters. We also offer a discount for Relics backed by your personal transactions.
