The project is FA2 compliant, which means that they can be exchanged like any other NFT everywhere in the tezos ecosystem. Every xDead has their own profile page that shows their attributes as well as their ownership/for-sale status.

WTF

Everything starts when a company named xCorp, a bulwark on technology on the planet, began their evil plan in the name of profit: control human minds in order to alienate the population in whatever the corporation wants and needs. This alienation power was only possible by the possession of a rare, mysterious and mistic objkt: a pickle, that contains an absurd energy power that no one knows its origin.

In the past, the xCorporation concentrate its power and resources on I.A. and robot engineering - and this was their first mistake. The second one was to focus only on the alienation project, leaving all the robots on their own, who started to settle their own plan: to conquer the sacred objkt, the pickle, and use it to their own interests.

Eventually, the robots reach the supremacy of the world, leaving all the human kind, now dumb and disaffected, wandering like zombies. 100 years in this mess have passed when a mighty eclipses emerges on the sky, heralding the arrival of hungry aliens, atracted by the power of the pickle.

In fact, it was the aliens, back when the human race did not exist in the planet, who plant the seed of the pickle, hoping to get back when the objkt reach its final form. It was the pickle power in the earth who give the humans consciousness, and only this objkt can make them go back to their normal state.

The whole earth is now a battlefield: aliens, robots and zombies struggling to have the possession of the artifact in order to keep their survival.

Features

The xDeads world is subdivided in three Classes: Robots, Zombies, Aliens and Pickles

All of them include the Emission gas: Tezonium, Carbon and Lead

The classes are, as well, overwelmed by alignment: Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil

The xDeads have Background features too: Gray, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black

And the last feature is an important one, the Ki, wich represents the power of each xDead: in Robots (6000~12000), in Zombies (3000~6000), in the Aliens (1000~3000), If you have luck, your xDead’s Ki will be over 9000!!!!!! XD

Pickle Seed

This is the lucky hash. The All-Expected Gem. The one triumph. If the gods are on your side, you can generate the pickle. This is an example of how the algorithm generates our pickles:

All the pickles are differente from each one - the feature here is: fermentation level, and it can reach till 20,000.

Music

All the xDeads come with a modular music and a reaction system that moves with the frequencies of the amplifier embedded to the NFT: a music that tells part of the history, and how your xDead connect with the chaotic world it had born. All of the tracks were composed by dead_marcelo on Vcvrack, a eurorack synthesizer.

Dude

The blockchain/de-fi system was made famous by Bitcoin/Ethereum, but this is only what we call a currency. We are in the Tezos Blockchain, a pioneering Proof-of-Stake blockchain, wich has always been recognized as an energy-efficient alternative to more traditional Proof of Work blockchains. That means that, in this chain, we can prioritize innovation without compromising sustainability.

The perception of the pixel in xDeads philosophy

As Professor Herbert W. Franke once said, it is well known nowadays that the brain and the sensory organs function on a physical basis and that perception itself is above all a kind of data processing. We are all the time learning and regurgitating the information we received. But the thing doesn’t stop right there. The human brain have multiples steps in processing information, variating since memories till fully conscious analysis.

In the pixels world – more specifically in the xDeads world – the perception of the nature of each creature is no different. What is a pixel if not a squared extension of what we see everyday? When you see pixels on a screen you are looking at molecules or atoms that are emitting or transmitting light. Light itself does not consist of molecules.

You are looking at something that is and isn’t. And, yet, we can distinguish its nuances. As soon as some video-games like Space Invaders (1978) and Pac-Man (1980) started to be part of our mental library, our capacity of abstractions in this particular type of graphic world started to be a real thing.

We use this type of abstraction to tell xDeads history and, perhaps, predict the future.

How do I get my xDead?

1. Download and install a Chrome browser plugin called  Temple Wallet . This will allow websites (that you authorize) access to your Tezos account.

2. If you made a new account, buy some Tezos. You can buy directly from the Tzkt, the largest blockchain explorer in Tezos, or you can buy them from your favourite exchange

3. Once you have the plugin installed, you can sync your wallet in the Fxhash website and manage to buy and sell xDeads directly in the interface.

*P.S: You can collect xDeads in your smartphone with the web wallet Kukai or with the mobile wallet Naan

FAQ

1. what is hydra? Hydra,is a platform for live coding visuals, in which each connected browser window can be used as a node of a modular and distributed video synthesizer, by Olivia Jack

2. what is real? [💊

3. what is generative-art? Generative art refers to art that, in whole or in part, was created using an autonomous system. An autonomous system in this context is usually one that is not human and can independently determine features of a work of art that would otherwise require decisions made directly by the artist. In some cases the human creator may claim that the generative system represents his own artistic idea, and in others that the system assumes the role of the creator.
