Statues of the Future

The past built 900 statues facing the land. The future builds 9,000 facing the stars.

A collection of 1-bit moai, drawn by code pixel by pixel on a 40×40 grid. No AI, no filters. Every statue is put together from hand-drawn parts, and every one has its own story: where it stands, when it was raised and who built it.

Every statue has a place and a year

The picture shows the face. The story lives in the metadata: the statue's role, where it stands, the year it was raised and who built it — humans, machines, both, or nobody knows.

Twenty-four preview statues. The full 9,000 are revealed when the mint opens.

Where they stand

The first statues go up on Easter Island in 2030. Six centuries later they reach Proxima b. These are the places and the first year a statue stands there.

What a statue is made of

Nine parts, 109 hand-drawn variants. Parts that look wrong together are never combined.

Head

14

classic, tall, dome, bullet, terraced, heavy jaw…

Brow

7

heavy, double, arched, split, furrowed…

Eyes

15

closed, visor, scanner, sleepy, wink, tear…

Nose

10

long, blade, bolted, t-bar, chipped…

Mouth

13

frown, grille, stitched, speaker, smirk…

Ears

9

long, cable, earcup, horn ears, hoops…

Mark

17

circuit, barcode, third eye, solar, binary…

Crown

17

pukao, halo, dish, solar wings, royal crown…

Age

7

intact, worn, cracked, split, lost chin…

No near-twins. Any two statues in the collection differ in at least four of these nine parts, so no statue is just another one with a different nose.

How to mint

Statues of the Future mint on Ethereum through OpenSea. The moAI heads live on Solana, so you'll need an Ethereum wallet for this one.

  1. Get an Ethereum wallet

    MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet or Phantom all work. Write the seed phrase down offline and never type it into a website.

  2. Add ETH

    Buy ETH on an exchange and send it to your wallet, or buy it inside the wallet app. You pay the mint price plus a network fee.

  3. Mint on OpenSea

    Open the drop from the button on this page, connect your wallet and press Mint. Your statue appears in your OpenSea profile.

The mint link, price and date will be posted here and on @moAI_mascot at the same time.

SOTF FAQ

Where will the official mint be?

On OpenSea, on Ethereum. The link will be on this page and on @moAI_mascot. Until it appears here, any link you're sent is fake, especially one that arrives in DMs.

When is the mint, and what will it cost?

Not announced yet. The date and price go up on X and in Telegram first, then on this page.

How is this related to the moAI heads?

Same stone, different era. The 900 moAI heads on Solana are the island's statues reborn with AI chips. Statues of the Future are what comes after: 9,000 statues on Ethereum, spread from Earth to other stars. They're separate collections, and holding one doesn't give you the other.

Was AI used to make the art?

No. Every statue is assembled by code from hand-drawn parts on a 40×40 pixel grid. Pure black and white, one bit per pixel.

What's in the metadata?

The nine parts (head, brow, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, mark, crown, age) plus the statue's story: its role, where it stands, the year it was raised, who built it and its serial number.

Is it the same as the $MOAI token?

No. $MOAI is a meme coin on Solana. Statues of the Future is an NFT collection on Ethereum. Holding one doesn't give you the other.

Can I use a statue as a profile picture?

Yes — 1-bit art stays sharp even at the tiny size of an avatar. Tag @moAI_mascot when you do.
