About NatDiamonds

Intro

NatDiamonds is a non-arbitrary artwork collection built upon the (DMT).

NatDiamonds derives from the DMT natdiamons.21.11.element and is meant to reproduce the minting and carving of IRL precious stones.

The NatDiamonds project leverages the new concept of digital dust. In our view, digital scarcity will be considered more and more superior to the physical one, and this will change the concept of "precious matter" forever.

NatDiamonds paves the way to a new industry for younger generations, in quest of the digital scantness of 3rd millennium.

This is the first collection of more to come, in an attempt to spawn a new bitcoin based jewellery era. NatDiamonds is free-mint Owners will have advantages and perks on future DMT natdiamonds mints (alpha-pass).

Logic for the minting

21 is the NatDiamonds pattern and also a key bitcoin number => only 21 millions

Every time the field 11 'bits" (hex) contains the '21' pattern, a new NatDiamond is minted

Logic for colouring and shaping

We assign a symmetry score to each bitcoin block number, from 0% to 100% .

Block number digits are considered symmetric if they are equal on both sides of an imaginary vertical axis that cuts the block number in two.

For example,

  • 184|481 has 100% symmetry score,

  • 123|456 has 0% symmetry score

NB - Note that 123123 has no vertical symmetry and scores zero.

Other examples are:

  • blocs [123321] [707] [44] = 100% have max symmetry, because of their perfect mirroring around the vertical axis.

  • blocs [125921] [15651] = 66% have lower symmetry score , because only two digits out of 3 are vertically mirrored

  • blocs [102504] [1007] [40754] = 33%, even lower score having only one specular digit out of 3

  • blocs [4265] [18] [302] = 0% have zero score

Whenever the score is less than 100% the algorithm skews vertex in the image breaking the symmetry

Consequently

Diamonds colors are picked up following deterministic rules.

Other features :

  • the central diamond is always GRAY for ODD block numbers (ex 1231)

Like in IRL judgement is subjective => People can love/prefer a NatDiamond over another because of its high (or lack of) symmetry in both colours and geometries. This means that for some collectors full asymmetric diamonds could be more valuable than the ones perfectly mirrored.

To help judging the level of symmetry of the artwork, a gauge is drawn on top of the image. The cursor position itself in the range from zero (left) to max (right) symmetry.

Diamond blinking animations

  • Perfect diamonds: have synchronous blinking animation

  • Asymmetric diamonds have asynchronous blinking animation

  • Zero scored diamonds have no animation (both colored and wireframed)

Scarcity

NatDiamonds have an infinite theoretical supply but with a very slow minting (like IRL diamonds).

Every NatDiamond is unique, and all future NatDiamonds will be unique.

The project uses the $dmt-natdiamonds deployment as its basis for token supply and trait generation.

How to view NatDiamonds

Video WhitePaper

perfect diamonds are only possible when symmetry scores matches 100%

the lower the symmetry score is, the more skewed the diamond will be

the central diamond is always BTC-ORANGE for EVEN block numbers (ex 1230)

Blocks with zero symmetry score and zero even digits are never coloured and are wireframed. Ex1: 123752 colored diamond (two even digits) Ex2: 75931 wireframed diamond (no even digits)

Black Horns are rare : produced if the block number contains the 666 pattern Red horns only happen if the block number contains 3 times the digit 6 (not consecutives)

Angel Blue Halos are rare : only if the block number contains the 777 pattern Azure Halos are also rare and only happen if the block number contains 3 times the digit 7 (not consecutives)

Each diamond can animate 3 parts : the 2 horns + the bottom triangle

Use the to generate NatDiamonds for valid $DMT-natdiamonds blocks.
