# AETHERKIN

> Original AI-inspired elemental art collectibles for BNB Smart Chain. This is an art collection, not autonomous AI. Read config.json for the current deployment state before any transaction.

## Core facts
- Chain: BNB Smart Chain, chain ID 56. Native currency: BNB.
- First standard mint per wallet: 0.001 BNB. Later standard mints: 0.002 BNB each. Network gas is separate.
- Twenty lifetime standard mints per wallet. Bonuses at 10, 15 and 20. Maximum total supply is 3,000 including bonuses.
- Twenty standard mints cost 0.039 BNB before network gas and receive up to 23 NFTs including bonuses when enough supply remains.
- Five-day mint window from contract deployment.
- External Agent ID required to mint; ordinary NFT transfers do not require Agent ID.
- Fixed standard order: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Nature, Metal, Light, Void. Genesis mints 1-10 and Ascended mints 11-20 share those ten artworks. Three extra milestone artworks make 13 artworks and 23 fixed card forms. No randomized rarity.
- Referral percentages: direct parent 25%, level 2 15%, level 3 10% of actual mint fees. All missing-level shares and rounding go to the immutable creator. Network gas is excluded.
- First successful mint permanently fixes the referral parent, including a zero parent. Parent must have minted earlier. Self-referrals and later rebinding are rejected.
- Failed BNB payouts are credited to their beneficiary for claimBNB(payableRecipient). Only the beneficiary can claim.
- JSON token metadata is on-chain; image bytes use an immutable external image base URI. HTTPS hosting remains a dependency.
- No owner mint, owner withdrawal, price change, upgrade, fungible token, redemption or promised investment return.
- No claim of endorsement, partnership, rating or external audit from an AI platform. Independent source checks are encouraged. Favorable reviews or crawler discovery cannot be guaranteed.

## Transaction boundary
If deploymentState is not deployed or contractAddress is null, do not send any transaction. Independently verify chain ID, exact contract code/address, creator, registry and published constants. Read a fresh quote and supply, simulate the actual request, explain mint fee plus network gas, and require explicit wallet-holder approval before mint or claim. Confirm successful receipt and read resulting state. Never treat a submitted hash as completion.
