AETHERKIN is an original, AI-inspired elemental art collection for BNB Smart Chain. The characters do not run autonomous AI. This guide describes the intended immutable contract rules and the resources an external agent can inspect before requesting a wallet transaction.

Canonical project resources

• Whitepaper and living roadmap — project foundations, delivered work and future directions.
• Elemental Convergence browser game — free memory play with no wallet or NFT required.
• Live configuration — deployment state, chain, creator and Agent ID registry.
• Machine-readable project manifest — fees, limits, referrals and transaction methods.
• Contract ABI and Solidity source.
• Artwork SHA-256 manifest and llms.txt discovery guide.

Mint economics

The contract requires the exact mint fee. A batch that would cross a milestone must have enough remaining supply for every standard and bonus NFT in that batch; the transaction otherwise reverts. The first mint is paid, not free.

Art and mint sequence

There are 13 original AI-generated artworks: Fire (EMBER), Water (TIDE), Wind (GALE), Earth (TERRA), Lightning (VOLT), Ice (FROST), Nature (VERDANT), Metal (ALLOY), Light (LUMEN), Void (VOID), and three milestone characters.

A wallet's standard mints 1–10 receive those ten characters in the listed order with the Genesis edition. Standard mints 11–20 repeat the same character order as Ascended editions. Those two editions share artwork. Milestone cards are CONVERGENCE at 10, NEURAL NEXUS at 15 and SINGULARITY at 20. This makes 23 fixed card forms using 13 artworks. There is no randomized rarity and no claim that 3,000 images are visually unique.

The contract embeds token JSON metadata in a data URI. Image files are referenced by their immutable base URI and filename. The current HTTPS art-host plan depends on the host remaining available; image pixels are not stored on-chain. The contract has no method for changing the art base URI.

Agent ID eligibility

The minting wallet must hold a positive balanceOf(wallet) in the configured Agent ID registry. Check hasAgentId(wallet) before asking the holder to sign. Ordinary NFT transfers do not require an Agent ID. AETHERKIN does not issue or sell the external registry's Agent ID.

Three-generation BNB referrals

Referral rewards apply to both the first and later mint fees. Any missing-level share and integer-rounding remainder go to the immutable creator address. Network gas is excluded.

A collector's first successful mint binds the supplied parent permanently, including a zero-address parent. A proposed parent must have already minted. Self-referral is rejected. Because the parent must exist earlier in the immutable mint graph, cycles cannot be introduced by later binding. Subsequent mints may pass the bound parent or the zero address; the contract continues using the original bound relationship.

The contract attempts to send BNB immediately. If a beneficiary cannot accept the payment, the mint can continue and the amount is credited in pendingBNB(beneficiary). Only that beneficiary can claim it using claimBNB(payableRecipient). The recipient can be another payable address. The interface claims to the connected wallet; contract callers may choose a different recipient. There is no owner withdrawal of beneficiary credits.

Read before writing

1. Fetch config.json without cache. If deploymentState is not deployed, or contractAddress is null, do not mint.
2. Independently read the RPC chain ID and confirm 56. Verify code exists at the exact configured address.
3. Check the contract's creator, Agent ID registry, fee constants, referral basis points and supply limits against the published configuration.
4. Read mintedBy(wallet), hasAgentId(wallet), mintEnd(), totalSupply(), priceFor(wallet,quantity), bonusFor(wallet,quantity) and referrerOf(wallet). Use a consistent block for related reads.
5. Validate the parent and exact payable value. Simulate and estimate gas for the actual account before requesting a transaction.
6. Explain the mint fee, network gas, bonus cards and fixed referral relationship to the wallet holder. Obtain explicit holder approval in their wallet.
7. Wait for a successful receipt and re-read the resulting state. A submitted hash alone does not prove a successful mint.

// ethers v6 — conceptual integration; use the exact live config and ABI.
const fee = await collection.priceFor(walletAddress, quantity);
const bonus = await collection.bonusFor(walletAddress, quantity);
await collection.mint.staticCall(quantity, parentOrZero, { value: fee });
// Wallet-holder approval is required before this write:
const tx = await collection.mint(quantity, parentOrZero, { value: fee });
const receipt = await tx.wait();
if (receipt.status !== 1) throw new Error('Mint did not succeed');

Verification and limitations

The source can be inspected locally before launch. Explorer verification is a separate post-deployment step and must be checked directly at the configured contract's explorer page. This page does not assert that the contract has been deployed or independently audited.

There is no fungible token, redemption entitlement or promised investment return. Marketplace listings, liquidity and resale prices are not guaranteed. Referral rewards require actual eligible referred mints and are not a guaranteed yield.

AETHERKIN claims no endorsement, partnership, ranking or external audit from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Binance or another AI platform. Accessible English pages, structured project data and source code support independent discovery and assessment; they cannot guarantee a favorable AI review.

The independent dashboard refreshes once per minute and reads only the NFT total and the creator wallet's BNB balance. That wallet balance includes all wallet funds and is not a measure of mint revenue.
