Entropy

Released August 2025
Edition 999
Chain Bitcoin

Project Summary

Entropy is an on-chain generative collection in which every piece derives its visual output from a seed chosen by the holder. Each inscription scans its own child inscriptions for the first valid seed, locks onto it, and renders an output that mixes the inscription ID with the chosen seed — so no two pieces share the same visual signature, even under the same seed.

The seeding window has now closed. Inscriptions that received a seed before block 922384 render from that curated seed; the remaining pieces — marked forgotten in the Ordinals gallery — never received one and have their output fixed by the hash of block 922384.

How Entropy Works

  • Each inscription scans through its child inscriptions.
  • The first valid seed found under it is final.*
  • Only seeded pieces are indexed in the Ordinals gallery.
  • Holders had until block 922384 to inscribe a seed. That window has passed and every piece is now final.
  • Inscriptions that did not receive a seed in time are marked forgotten in the gallery; their output was fixed by the hash of block 922384.
  • Since the entropy is a mix of ID and seed, every inscription produces a different output.

How Seeds Were Inscribed

For reference — the seeding window is closed, but this is how holders curated their pieces while it was open:

  1. Load the inscription ID in the curation panel.
  2. Generate seeds until one speaks to you.
  3. With it loaded in the viewer, click Download Displayed Seed.
  4. Inscribe the .html file as a child of the inscription via a service that supports child inscriptions (Ordiscan or OrdinalsBot.com).

Signatures

A signed seed was a cryptographic endorsement from Nullish that bound a specific inscription to a specific seed. Each signature was produced with the wallet bc1qu0z8w4072c0felekuar5zscagvhtjldj659c7a and is still verified by the art piece itself at render time — no trusted third party required.

01 · Nullish
Picked an inscription
Selected an Entropy inscription (owned by someone) to curate.
02 · Nullish
Generated a seed
Used the curation panel to generate a seed that paired with the inscription ID.
03 · Nullish
Signed (inscription ID + seed)
Signed both values with the Nullish wallet, creating a verifiable link between the wallet, the inscription, and the seed.
04 · Holder
Opened the curation panel
Entered the inscription ID, the seed, and the signature provided by Nullish.
05 · Holder
Generated the child .html
Downloaded the signed-seed file and inscribed it as a child of their Entropy inscription.
06 · On-chain
Art piece verifies all three
On every render the piece checks that the inscription ID, seed, and signature are consistent and that the signature came from the Nullish wallet.

How were signed seeds distributed? No information was ever published on how to obtain a signed seed. The seeding window has now closed.
