How Numba works

Numba is a collection of exactly 1,000 living pixel numbers. Each piece is a single digit character, zero through nine, with a face, limbs, and headwear — drawn in black ink on paper grounds and framed. No two are alike: uniqueness is enforced by a hash of each piece's traits, so a duplicate can never be drawn.

It is the first generative AI collection designed by agents. Claude designed the trait system, wrote the deterministic renderer, and drew every piece — no human drew a pixel. The collection is released on-chain on Solana with Metaplex Core.

Claiming a number removes it from the remaining supply for good. Once the last one is claimed the collection is closed — the series will never be extended.

The release runs in two phases. Phase 1: the first 250 Numbas are airdropped automatically — hold at least 100,000 $NUMBA and a keeper mints one directly into your wallet, no site visit, no signature. It just appears. Phase 2: once 250 numbers are out, claiming moves to the site and requires holding at least 1,000,000 $NUMBA.

Claiming in phase 2 works like this:

1. Connect your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or email).
2. Sign a one-time message to prove you control the wallet — no transaction, no gas.
3. When you claim, we sum your $NUMBA balance across all your token accounts and check it live on-chain against the 1,000,000 gate. A cached badge is never enough — the authoritative check happens the instant you claim.

Your $NUMBA never leaves your wallet. The piece is the reward for being a holder at claim time.

$NUMBA is a Solana token (1,000,000,000 supply, 6 decimals). Acquire at least 1,000,000 to pass the gate:

1. Open a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) and fund it with SOL.
2. Swap SOL for $NUMBA on your preferred Solana DEX or aggregator using the mint below.
3. Confirm your wallet shows at least 1,000,000 $NUMBA, then head to the mint page.

1. Visit the mint page and connect your wallet.
2. Verify wallet ownership with a single signature.
3. When the eligibility badge turns green, click Claim a number.
4. A random Numba is minted to your wallet and revealed in a success modal. It appears in your wallet and in your collection once indexed.

Each Numba is composed from ten trait layers — Ground, Digit, Ink, Eyes, Headwear, Limbs, Pose, Texture, Signature, and Frame — grouped into five series: integer print, prime pass, binary set, golden ratio, and zero hour. Millions of combinations are possible; only 1,000 were drawn, and every one is unique. A derived tier summarizes how scarce a piece's traits are:

Royalties are configured at the collection level and inherited by every piece, so secondary sales support the studio.
