A Leap Into the Extraordinary
- Novelty
Poetic Innovation
Each Aithos NFT blends AI-generated digital art with AI-crafted poetry, creating a unique narrative of human virtues in a visually stunning, futuristic format.
- Ownership
Holder Rights
Every Aithos NFT's metadata includes an explicit rights grant: on purchase, the artist surrenders all copyright and related rights to the buyer, in perpetuity, worldwide, for all uses. This clause is part of each token's permanent, on-chain-referenced metadata, not a separate promise that can be quietly changed.
- Sovereignty
Character Stories
The original collection brings virtues to life through character artwork, narratives and poems. Interactive character development is future work.
- Exclusivity
Current Experience
Explore the artwork and poems on this site. Holder voting, personalized character journeys and exclusive interactive events are not available here.
Collection Provenance & History
335 Aithos NFTs were historically minted. Two defective tokens, #59 and #89, were permanently retired by transferring them to Ethereum's standard burn address, leaving 333 canonical active pieces.
Both retirements are verifiable on-chain: token #59 on January 27, 2024 (tx 0xd5f4d6…42ba) and token #89 on January 29, 2024 (tx 0xa777d5…800c), both sent to 0x000…dEaD.
The historical 335 remains part of the collection record. A transfer to the burn address does not remove tokens from contract enumeration, so some indexers may still display or count these two retired items.
Collection contract on Ethereum: 0xdf013e3b40e4658506509a5619f1262f27d77650.
The Aithos Reboot
Direction, not a delivery calendar — phases ship in order, starting with the one marked NOW. Nothing on this roadmap is for sale.
GENESIS — WHAT WE BUILT
AI-crafted character art, original narrative and poetry, an Ethereum collection, and this website — the foundation everything else builds on.
CURRENT STATUS
The original roadmap stalled and Aithos went dormant. This is a deliberate, non-commercial reboot, starting with getting the public facts right.
NOW · V2 — The Living Character
Wallet-verified ownership becomes a persistent AI character: chat, identity, and a memory that carries forward between visits.
NEXT · V2.2 — Rights & Provenance
Signed permissions and a provenance record for anything a character creates, built on the copyright grant already written into each NFT's metadata.
NEXT · V2.5 — The Companion
Narrow, owner-directed tools: reminders, writing help, Chronicle drafting. Never autonomous with your wallet or your contacts.
LATER · V3 — The Chronicle
A persistent, ownable history for your character: stories, images and memories that accumulate instead of resetting.
LATER · V3.5 — Aithos Encounters
Characters from different wallets meet in stories shaped by their virtues, with generated images and video, and export to share.
LATER · V4 — Trials of Aithos
A real strategy/card game with its own canon — Genesis characters can appear as heroes, not as reskinned inventory.
LATER · V4.5 — Physical Aithos
Owner-authorized physical cards and Portal cards that bridge a real object to your character on-chain.
RESEARCH · V5 — Aithos Spatial
AR scenes and rooms a character can inhabit, explored browser-first before anything heavier.
RESEARCH · V6 — The Living Universe
A persisted, multi-character world where relationships and events evolve over time.
RESEARCH · V7 — Character Commerce
Holder-controlled licensing for characters — collaborations, media, merchandise — governed by permissions, not a generic marketplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aithos?
Aithos is an Ethereum digital-art collection of futuristic characters inspired by human virtues, combining artwork, narrative and poetry. Persistent AI characters are the future direction, not a feature available on this website.
How many Aithos NFTs are there?
335 NFTs were historically minted. Two defective tokens, #59 and #89, were permanently retired to Ethereum's standard burn address on January 27 and 29, 2024 (verifiable on-chain), leaving 333 canonical active pieces. Some indexers may still count or display the two retired tokens.
Is there a mint, sale or giveaway now?
No new mint, sale or giveaway is offered on this website. The 2024 announcements are historical. Newsletter signup provides updates, not entry into a giveaway. OpenSea links lead to a separate third-party collection page.
What is the current project status?
The original roadmap was not completed and Aithos became dormant. The current work is a deliberate, non-commercial reboot, beginning with public information and project documentation.
What utility and holder benefits are available?
Today: the original artwork, poetry and collection history. The roadmap below describes what's being built next, starting with a persistent AI character tied to your wallet — none of it has shipped yet.
Can holders vote or use an Aithos marketplace?
This website has no holder governance or voting system and no built-in marketplace. Historical proposals for voting and other experiences should not be read as available features.
What rights come with an Aithos NFT?
Every Aithos NFT's metadata includes this clause: on purchase, the artist surrenders all copyright and related rights to the buyer, in perpetuity, worldwide, for all uses associated with it. This is part of each token's permanent metadata, not a separate promise. This website update does not change that grant. Questions on specific use cases: admin@aithoscollection.com.
What happens next?
See the roadmap below. V2 — The Living Character is next: wallet-verified ownership becomes a persistent AI character. Everything after it — rights and provenance, a companion, the Chronicle, multi-character Encounters, a card game, physical cards, spatial experiences — builds outward from there, in order.
