Three parts, three contracts
Genesis Legend. An ERC-721 artwork. It can be minted, bought from the Anvil, sold or gifted like any NFT.
Proof Credential. A locked, non-transferable credential (ERC-5192). It can be issued and revoked, but it cannot move to another wallet.
Oracle render. The display layer. It shows an active presentation only while the proof conditions below hold, and only for a limited time window.
When a Legend counts as proven
A Legend is proven only when both of these are true:
- It has an active link, signed by the Legend owner and the credential wallet, and the owner at signing is still the current owner.
- The linked credential exists, is not revoked and still belongs to the recorded wallet.
If either check fails, the render returns no active presentation. It never falls back to a permissive default. A sale, a revocation or a missing credential all read as “not proven.”
What money cannot do
Buying a Legend, from the mint or from the Anvil, gives you the art. It does not give you a credential, a proof score or a rank. Burning $LEGEND in the Forge changes cosmetics only. No purchase path writes to a proof credential.
What is still open
The rules for earning a credential: what gets measured, who attests it, and when it expires. The site promises privacy by design, so the policy will not rely on raw wallet balances or a public PnL score. Until that policy is published, proof is a design, not a live feature.
