Introducing Polyphos: An Exclusive Generative Art Release for Gamma Winter Pass Holders 💫
On Thursday, January 30th, at 2 PM ET, Polyphos by Pawel Dudko will debut as an exclusive generative art release for Gamma Winter Pass holders. With a max supply of 666 and priced at 0.0002 BTC, this collection will not be available for public sale.
The Essence of Polyphos
Inspired by the nuances of winter, Polyphos explores the interplay between light and darkness—a defining characteristic of the season. As nights grow longer, artificial lights take on a mesmerizing presence, illuminating the world with warmth and contrast.
The name Polyphos (pronounced pol-ee-fos) is derived from Greek, meaning "many lights." The artwork reflects this concept by capturing the flickering glow of city lights, festive illuminations, and candle flames, each momentarily bringing life to the surrounding space.
At its core, Polyphos is a generative art project where shapes evolve through a delicate balance of growth and decay. Governed by simple rules of birth, survival, and disappearance, these forms create intricate, ever-changing compositions.
A Unique Connection to Special Satoshis
Beyond its artistic expression, Polyphos introduces a fascinating interaction with special satoshis. Thanks to the ZedSatologistV0 script by @ZedZeroth, this release recognizes a variety of exotic sats, each influencing the final artwork’s traits.
For example:
Pizza sats ensure a rounded structure.
JPEG sats influence the shape of the filaments.
With these special satoshis in play, Polyphos extends beyond a traditional generative drop, offering collectors an added layer of surprise and rarity.
Exclusively for Gamma Winter Pass Holders
This release is reserved exclusively for Gamma Winter Pass holders, reinforcing the value of community participation and engagement. There will be no public sale, making Polyphos a truly limited and special addition to the Winter Pass experience.
Mark your calendars for January 30th at 2 PM ET and prepare to witness the mesmerizing glow of Polyphos.
