Get a Yeti
Every yeti is drawn inside its own token from 95 traits mined out of the Book. No server holds the picture. Every donation goes straight to the SubGenius.Finance vault in the same transaction.
The Ministry decides your fate: fur, eyes, hat, the lot. Some yetis come out legendary. Most don't. None of them are the same.
- Anything you leave to fate is rolled when you mint.
- Legendaries can't be picked. Luck can still turn any slot legendary, even one you picked.
- Every yeti is one of a kind. If your exact yeti is taken, the page says so before you pay.

How We Made It
Not a VERY SERIOUS work, obviously. Smited Yeti started as me wanting to see what THEY did. So I followed the production methods of the NFT projects that came before us, start to finish.
What it showed me: most of the famous ones (Bored Apes and the rest) don't keep the picture in the NFT at all. The token points at a file on a server or IPFS. Server goes away, ape goes away. The old-school ones (CryptoPunks, Nouns, Loot) draw the picture ON CHAIN as SVG. SVG isn't a picture, it's drawing instructions, and the chain does the drawing every time someone looks.
We went that way. An NFT should still work after we're all dead.
The catch: every yeti has to fit in a few dozen KB of instructions. No painted fur. Flat vector, a dozen colors, a 512 grid.
AI art can't do layers. Ask it for a yeti, you get a white gorilla. Every time. Ask it to add a hat and it repaints the whole yeti. So we locked ONE master yeti and cut every trait out by hand: eyes, mouth items, nostrils, a lot of it just drawn.
97 traits, 10 slots, 9 furs. Legendaries are luck only; you can't buy one. The contract refuses a duplicate, so no two yetis are ever the same.
Putting all the art on chain cost 0.0082 xDAI. Gnosis is cheap.
Mint is 0.1 xDAI random, 0.2 xDAI build-your-own, and all of it goes to the vault.
The whole design record, from the first sketch to the contract addresses: Smited Yeti: The Abominable Ministry, the scope and record (live doc).
New to this?
You need a wallet (Rabby or MetaMask in a browser, or most phone wallets) with a few xDAI on the Gnosis chain. The Codex page walks you through it with pictures, from no wallet to a donation, step by step. It's the same here.
It is not an investment. It will not go up. A yeti is a picture of a yeti, held forever by the chain, and a donation to the Church's vault.
