NFT Ecosystem Overview

🎨 Two NFT Collections​

Ethereal Offering features two distinct NFT collections, each serving a unique purpose in the ecosystem:

  1. Proof of Burn (POB) - Soulbound receipts of ceremonial offerings
  2. Mushroom NFTs (SHROOM) - Tradeable collectibles with genetic traits

🔥 Proof of Burn NFTs​

Purpose: Sacred Records​

POB NFTs are soulbound tokens (non-transferable) that serve as permanent records of our ceremonial token burns. Think of them as digital prayer beads—each one marking a moment of surrender, gratitude, and spiritual offering.

How They Work​

When you burn ETHO tokens in a ceremony:

function burn(uint256 amount) external {
  _burn(msg.sender, amount);
  _mintProofOfBurn(msg.sender, amount);
  emit Offering(msg.sender, amount, block.timestamp);
}
  1. ETHO is destroyed - Permanently removed from circulation
  2. POB NFT is minted - Unique token created for you
  3. Metadata is recorded - Amount, timestamp, and spiritual message
  4. Soulbound forever - Cannot be transferred or sold

Metadata Structure​

Each POB NFT contains:

{
  "name": "Proof of Burn #1234",
  "description": "Sacred offering of 100 ETHO on October 12, 2025",
  "image": "ipfs://...",
  "attributes": [
    {
      "trait_type": "Amount Burned",
      "value": "100 ETHO"
    },
    {
      "trait_type": "Timestamp",
      "value": "2025-10-12T14:30:00Z"
    },
    {
      "trait_type": "Ceremony Type",
      "value": "Gratitude Offering"
    },
    {
      "trait_type": "Spiritual Message",
      "value": "In surrender, I find freedom"
    }
  ]
}

Visual Design​

POB NFTs feature:

  • Unique artwork - Generated based on burn amount and timestamp
  • Sacred geometry - Patterns reflecting spiritual significance
  • Color gradients - Purple, pink, and gold representing transformation
  • Animated elements - Subtle movements in the metadata

Use Cases​

  1. Spiritual Record - Track our offering journey
  2. Community Recognition - Display our commitment
  3. Governance Weight - Future: POB holders may get bonus voting power
  4. Access Control - Unlock special features or content
  5. Personal Reflection - Meditate on our path

🍄 Mushroom NFTs​

Purpose: Collectible Genetics​

SHROOM NFTs are tradeable collectibles representing unique mushroom strains with genetic traits. They can be bought, sold, bred, and harvested for rewards.

Genetic Traits​

Each mushroom has multiple traits:

Species​

  • Psilocybe cubensis - Golden Teacher, B+, Penis Envy
  • Psilocybe azurescens - Flying Saucer, Blue Angel
  • Amanita muscaria - Classic red and white
  • Psilocybe cyanescens - Wavy caps
  • Panaeolus cyanescens - Blue Meanies

Visual Traits​

  • Cap Color - Red, gold, blue, purple, white
  • Stem Color - White, cream, blue-tinged
  • Veil Type - Partial, universal, none
  • Spore Print - Purple-brown, black, white

Growth Traits​

  • Size - Tiny, small, medium, large, giant
  • Growth Rate - Slow, medium, fast, rapid
  • Potency - Mild, moderate, strong, very strong
  • Yield - Low, medium, high, abundant

Special Traits​

  • Bioluminescence - Glows in the dark (rare)
  • Albino - Pure white coloration (rare)
  • Mutation - Unique genetic variation (very rare)
  • Ancient - Legendary strain (ultra rare)

Rarity System​

// Rarity distribution
Common: 60%      // Standard traits
Uncommon: 25%    // One rare trait
Rare: 10%        // Multiple rare traits
Epic: 4%         // Special trait + rare traits
Legendary: 1%    // Ancient or mutated

Breeding System​

Combine two mushrooms to create offspring:

function breed(uint256 parent1, uint256 parent2) external {
  require(ownerOf(parent1) == msg.sender);
  require(ownerOf(parent2) == msg.sender);
  require(canBreed(parent1, parent2));
  require(msg.value >= breedingFee);
  
  uint256 childId = _mintChild(parent1, parent2);
  // Genetic traits inherited from parents
}

Breeding Mechanics:

  • Cooldown Period - 7 days between breeds
  • Breeding Fee - 10 ETHO per breed
  • Genetic Inheritance - 50% from each parent + 10% mutation chance
  • Trait Combinations - Some traits are dominant, others recessive

Breeding Outcomes:

  • 70% chance - Traits from both parents
  • 20% chance - New trait mutation
  • 10% chance - Rare trait upgrade

Growing & Harvesting​

Mushroom NFTs can be "planted" to grow and harvest rewards:

function plant(uint256 tokenId) external {
  require(ownerOf(tokenId) == msg.sender);
  require(!isPlanted(tokenId));
  
  plantedMushrooms[tokenId] = PlantData({
    plantedAt: block.timestamp,
    harvestableAt: block.timestamp + growthPeriod,
    yieldAmount: calculateYield(tokenId)
  });
}

function harvest(uint256 tokenId) external {
  require(ownerOf(tokenId) == msg.sender);
  require(isHarvestable(tokenId));
  
  uint256 yield = plantedMushrooms[tokenId].yieldAmount;
  _mint(msg.sender, yield); // Mint ETHO or DM tokens
  
  delete plantedMushrooms[tokenId];
}

Growth Mechanics:

  • Growth Period - 3-14 days depending on traits
  • Yield Amount - Based on size, potency, and yield traits
  • Harvest Rewards - ETHO or DM tokens
  • Re-planting - Can plant again immediately after harvest

Marketplace​

Buy and sell mushrooms on the integrated marketplace:

function listForSale(uint256 tokenId, uint256 price) external {
  require(ownerOf(tokenId) == msg.sender);
  
  listings[tokenId] = Listing({
    seller: msg.sender,
    price: price,
    listedAt: block.timestamp
  });
}

function purchase(uint256 tokenId) external payable {
  Listing memory listing = listings[tokenId];
  require(msg.value >= listing.price);
  
  // Transfer NFT to buyer
  _transfer(listing.seller, msg.sender, tokenId);
  
  // Pay seller (minus 2.5% marketplace fee)
  uint256 fee = listing.price * 25 / 1000;
  payable(listing.seller).transfer(listing.price - fee);
  payable(treasury).transfer(fee);
}

  • 2.5% fee - Goes to DAO treasury
