WE ARE LIVE!!!
The ONLY place to mint a Sentient is here:
Seems like my RPCs are a tad slow right now so please be patient... I can see that the metadata is being created in SHDW so as of now it looks like everything is working great :)
HAVE FUN Sagas
We just hit a pretty epic milestone... more than 1k Solana Saga phones minted a Sentient.
Over 1k different wallets, minted over 1k unique cNFT, and each of these wallets reserved perpetual royalties the cNFT it minted.
This is the beginning of something special...
2.5K SAGA PHONES HAVE CREATED A SENTIENT
The members
@SagaMobileDAO
are shaping the collection and are being rewarded for it. 50/50 royalty split to Sentient minters, forever.
GGs Saga community!

Gm to all sentient life on
@Solana
and especially those of the

I am working on two things today:
1) getting sentient holders and home in discord
2) adding a background color update ix
Gm!!
Saga Sentients will go live today :)
Some things to note:
1) Only Saga holders can mint
2) Saga holders can only mint 1 Sentient per phone
3) The saga holder that mints a Sentient will receive 2.5% royalties on all secondary sales of said Sentient
Kinda shocking 50% of people think we should “stop thinking so hard”…
We have a couple big ideas with community-driven fundamentals.
The goal was never to create an NFT project. The goal was and will always be to create open source tooling to make NFTs more engaging and fun.
Some options for ‘byo_mint’ tokens…
- Recreate trait combo = burn existing trait combo, claim unused trait combo
- Create custom background’s = enable ‘byom’ cNFTs update bg image
- Trait replacements = enable traits to be overridden by a new variant of the same layer
🧵GM, wanted to address the metadata issue on some Sentients.
What broke?
Well, nothing!
@heliuslabs
webhooks were triggered after every mint and the image + json files were uploaded successfully to
@GenesysGo
SHDW drive.
So why can't I see my image?
Gm gm, still working through the issues with DAS. It seems that the more sentients that are minted the more experience the issue with metadata not being indexed.
Selfishly, I think it’s pretty cool that this mint has more or less broken the DAS standards of the ecosystem :)
Kicking around this idea in my head...
Enable Sentients to change their attributes by burning the current trait combo PDA and creating a new one.
Only unused combinations can be claimed, the original combination is back up for grabs.
Do we like this?
Background Changer has been deployed!!
Navigate to and choose the `Background` tab to update your sentients background.
Please note that browsers/wallets/marketplaces cache images so the updates may not appear on other platforms immediately.
Our discord () aims to serve two purposes:
1) provide a home to any collection that mints using the `byo_mint` program
2) serve as a help center for any person or project using the `byo_mint` program
Come hang out!
BG color changing was the beginning…
Cooking something, to my knowledge, yet to be done by any collection on Solana.
You built your Sentients, will you continue to make them more sentient?
This feature will not be gated to Saga holders, but owning a Sentient will make it fun
GM!!
Our friends at
@chronicle_sol
are doing a WL giveaway with us!
There are 10 WLs up for grabs for their upcoming mint.
To enter RT this post, and make sure to follow both of us/be in our discords.
Post proof in comments with wallet. Winners will be drawn in 24 hours!
Working theory: It takes about ~3 seconds to create the image + json file and upload them to SHDW. The DAS attempts to index before that process is complete so the opportunity to index is missed.
Is it fixed now?
Yes, I worked with big brain
@nick_pennie
to re-index the cNFTs
Some options for ‘byo_mint’ tokens…
- Recreate trait combo = burn existing trait combo, claim unused trait combo
- Create custom background’s = enable ‘byom’ cNFTs update bg image
- Trait replacements = enable traits to be overridden by a new variant of the same layer
Development of BG Color changer is complete. Any holder of a sentient will be able to change the background color of the owned sentient.
We are waiting to deploy this feature until the DAS is updated to reindex metadata manually as the changes will not propagate consistently
Another update, people who used
@solflare_wallet
to mint seem to be “missing” the cNFT in their wallet. It is there but does not show up. Going to try to get a hold of the Solflare team to do some debugging.
4) Creating the metadata after minting takes about 1 minute to propagate to your wallet, so don't panic. If it's taking longer than that, DM this account with your wallet address
5) Have fun creating your Sentient! But don't take too long or your build might get taken :)
Gm!! Got a call booked with
@chronicle_sol
to discuss a further innovation on the `byo_mint` contract... this is how we grow the pie... this is the way
Due to the nature of cNFT metadata being stored off-chain, the DAS api needs to index that metadata and store it in a database.
Since the JSON + image links are not populated at the instant of the mint, the DAS attempts to index data that is not there.
@0xCaliburSpell
The wallet that minted the cNFT is declared a verified creator with 2.5% royalties. If the cNFT is sold on a marketplace, 2.5% of the cost goes to the wallet that minted the cNFT
