The Chronaverse Whitepaper

"So how does this all work?" You ask? Well let me step it down for you.

When I first came to atomichub there were about 5 other collections, thus I was one of the first collections to be on atomichub, and was THE FIRST art and music collection to be on atomichub, and the first solo musician to submit music nfts to atomichub. Lots of firsts! Many game collections that are out now actually started out by collecting my art and music nfts! I thus know most of the collections and people who run them - it's a small community, this wax cryptosphere :)

Before I got into nfts I was a musician and an artist. I wanted people to truly appreciate the work I did both in how they valued it and how they paid for it.

Thus what I initially started to do was I submitted promos of my art on market. They would either be images that linked to my telegram (promos) or they would be small or medium versions of my artwork (promo sales) just to give a tease on the market.

You can find many of these still remaining on atomichub either HERE for primary market sales (directly sold by me) or HERE for secondary market sales (sold by those who bought my work), or click any of the images below.

Promos

This evolved into me taking many of those images and creating "snapshots" and "snapshot quarters" - basically small thumbnails of my work that would then be sold as packs.

The Chronaverse Packs

Originally I created minor packs or blend specific packs as I released pieces

Dragon Pack

and

Minor Pack

That evolved to major and master packs which contained complete amounts of pieces - the master pack contains 20 pieces out of a maximum of 146 blendable piece choices, and the pumpkin pack contains all the images needed to make all of the halloween jack-o-lantern images.

Major Pack

There were also some variations as well - slivers blends were created where one piece was sliced up into many pieces and had to be recombined. A'ar quintas the destroyer was also a variation that was cut up as it was being drawn. You can find both below:

Slivers

and

A'ar Quintas

Many of the minor packs still exist however so once you buy those packs you will then open them under packs HERE and then return there after once you have opened the packs to see if there were any minor packs inside to open as well, although there are some minor packs that are also used as blend ingredients, which brings us to the next step. (packs are back up! As are all new blends)

The Chronaverse Blends

Once the packs have been opened you can then go to the blends section of the chronaverse, and this is where the TRUE value of the collection lies. (packs are more or less all remade, all new packs are focus on the chronaverse game)

You will have been given x amt of snapshot pieces to blend with from the packs you opened - some packs may have given you more by containing even more major and minor packs to open so you may have quite a few at this point. At this point it is simply a matter of perusing the blends to see how many you need to create those blends. Some bundles have been created on market too in case you have not acquired enough and those can be found HERE.

Some snapshot pieces are "duds" - either the final blend did not end up using them in the end or the final blends for those pieces may not be out yet, as the chronaverse is constantly evolving and growing. Some pieces may have been considered too small or simple to make a final blend for. The amt of pieces needed to create a final blend usually depends on the size and complexity of the piece. The final blends are the full size of the image - which for some is at least 5000 pixels across - they can be quite huge! These are the sizes I sell on my actual art page, shawndall.com, so you are getting the full value of the piece.

Some of the final blends contain multiple steps, so you may have to create a final blend and then use pieces of that along with other pieces to create the final FINAL blend - there may be multiples of those steps for some of them. The packs will give you many pieces to collect, it may take you a while! In addition every tuesday in the Telegram chat room for The Chronaverse we also give away blend pieces to the first 10 people who request a blend snapshot piece along with their wam, so keep your eyes peeled!

You can visit the Blends area to see what is up that you can get pieces for. Some examples of available blends can be seen below.

and

Rosemary 2 step Blend (currently broken)

The final blends are the final goal of the collection, where the majority of the value is - the final blends on average go for 700-800 dollars on market and can be found HERE.

1 of 1 mints

The second most valuable part of the collection is the 1 of 1 mints. These are held every weekend and one framed piece, usually mirrored to differentiate it, but not always, is auctioned away. Prominent members of the collection, like the blue wizard, usually snatch these up, but if you have the wax, be sure to see if you can challenge him for the pieces! You can find that link HERE.

You can find some examples of past auctions below:

Cosmic Solar Framed

and

Cosmic Ice Framed

The 1 of 1 mints generally go for a LOT of money on market being so rare, they generally do not go for under 700 wax and can go as high as 5000 wax, these are the ones to collect! As a result most people keep them and do not resell them. The Chronaverse very much acts like an art gallery. You can find that link to buy them HERE.

The Audio NFTs

Note: Audioclick and music schemas not remade yet - thus links won't work for now.

The third most valuable part of the collection is the audio nfts. I was the first solo artist on atomichub to not only figure out how to upload them to atomichub, but the first TO actually submit audio nfts to atomichub!

There are 3 separate schemas for my audio nfts:

1) Audio Click - these were the first audio nfts - usually just denoted by an album cover or the chronaverse logo in variations - you simply click the nft and inside is the audio that plays, embedded as an ipfs hash externally, so that you can listen to it - while the chronaverse logos spin like reels on a cassette tape or a studio recorder. You can find those HERE.

Some examples below:

Lavender Town Single

and

FF8 - RIDE ON!

2) Music - these were the second audio nfts - these were linked directly from my youtube videos and thus all contain videos that can be streamed. The first ones though only had a qr code to link to it, while later ones had the full video. You can find those HERE.

Some examples below:

Evolution - Remastered Full Album (QR)

and

The Final Fantasy (FF4-10-2)(Video)

3) Audio Discman The newest evolution of audio nfts - this discman actually shows the song and album playing, and has the cd of the album spinning inside! The nft also shows the cd on its own, the album cover and the album back and the nft playing all within this nft! This will be the structure going forward for all completed albums. You can find it HERE.

It was literally just released a few days ago so there are not many up yet. Get them while you can! Click the audio player below to find it on market :)

CHRONAVERSE SEASON 2 RECAP

So what has Happened Since the July 7th 2022 Hack? Well it's been a grueling year since the hack. Many collections would have given up after such a massive undertaking.

For those that don't know the entire account was phished/hacked last year and the hacker got into EVERYTHING. The entire collection had to be remade and is slowly being reminted, as I feel like it. It will all be reminted eventually (hopefully) or at least everything I can remint - some things due to copyright I no longer can.

So some new things - the site still has everything up - but many of the schemas are no longer created - I have separated on the site which ones are up and which are down - the categories on the bottom have a green check mark if they are operational and a red x if they are not. Contests have been changed to lore, and blends and drops and packs are up!

All art uploaded in "season 2 (post hack) is all new art done in an upgraded style - the other art before this was in some cases up to 30 years old, and thus the quality was all over the place as I did not submit in any consistent yearly fashion.

It is mostly submitted under the Traditional schema.

I also created a new schema: Races & Realms!

This schema has been created to prepare for a game I have now completed, where you can combine these nfts with element nfts to create new hybrid and elemental based art! That won't be fully fleshed out for quite some time though as it involves a COLLOSSAL amt of art to choose from..

You can see some of the pieces below:

Races & Realms			Traditional
Foxpyre Warrior		and	Xnatxyksit'ra-ek
Pale Ferrari		and	Gerakisaurus

THE CHRONAVERSE GAME IS ONLINE!!

Finally, The Chronaverse Blending Game is Up! Well it's been a lot of work to get the collection to this point. Click the link in this paragraph to read the full details about the game.

To summarize, the chronaverse has a lot of art. Like, a LOT. Probably more than any collection that isn't Bryron the artist lol, and much MUCH more diversified in its subject matter and styles. The chronaverse is a whole universe in and of itself, and thus entire racelines, worlds etc exist. As a result this is a daunting task for anyone to get into.

Thus to make it easier first the google doc was created to keep track of all new pieces. A new system was created, as all other systems, drops, old snapshot blend cards etc felt they would be too much work to maintain.

Thus a new system inspired by rplanet was created - it used 6 elements instead of 4, and used something new called combinator cards to combine with the elements to make the new pieces. The combinator cards could be created progressively as well using just the elements and then combinations of combinator cards to get to the highest, or they could be bought in packs. We have a starter pack that can be freely gained in a drop if you hold at least 4 chronaverse cards (one-time only drop to get you started) - this drop has lots of goodies to get you started. We also have a bulk elements drop for those who are heavy-duty blenders. :) All the links you need are in the docs to get what you need.

This was all fine and dandy but I knew over time even this google doc would get super unwieldy.

Thus I created THE CHRONAVERSE GAME as a solution to this!

This game sorts everything out initially by category - races mostly, and species. Then as you click into them you start with a common piece, and you can choose to evolve a being up or down - either evolving up or de-evolving - or evolving up to light or down to darkness. You can then choose to evolve along different paths, and even combine beings together into hybrids and cool mythological fusions! Yo ucan also create scenes, limite mints all the way up to 1 of 1 mint, as well as "naughty" cards! ;) (Those tend to be locked away and you need a password created through blending to make them)

The game is in its infancy right now but will grow into a wonderful jungle, meant to be played on mobile! The buttons for each let you click the buy and blend links for each piece and buy the piece off my gallery if you wish, and also give access to the google doc page at all times. Try it out! There are also some blends available through the game that do not show up on the blends page, and can only be found through the game interface.

Going forward there will no longer be any chronaverse cards put on market or on drops - all will be released as blends and you will have to combine progressively harder and more complex things together to get higher rarities. The game goes up to legendary, but will "unofficially" go above that into some amazing rarities that will be limited mints used for staking on sites at a later time. The blend link on this site is no longer updated - all that is there is now locked away as legacy. The game now provides everything you need :)

we also now have some of the mints available as mini dust enhancers that will earn you dust in the telegram room! Click HERE to learn more :)

This was the end goal of the collection - to be turned into an art gallery game, eventually have utility again and provide its userbase with a fun game like way to explore the chronaverse in a way that is innovative and explorative, instead of trudging and mundane and confusing. The chronaverse is very big, and can be intimidating for new people. Well, that sums it all up! have fun and explore! Even suggest new creatures in our telegram room!

Also highly recommended to read ALL the medium articles to learn everything you need to know about the new aspects of the chronaverse not mentioned here:

Chronaverse Medium Articles

Chronaverse NFT Gaming Utility

So it was only a matter of time until chronaverse was eventually used in a game, but here it is! Now if you own anything from the chronaverse that is NOT blend material (aka from the "snapshots" schema) it will count within the game!

Anything from the 1 of 1 mint schema will get you 20 attack points and 50 score points PER card in the game!

Anything else in the collection will get you +1 attack and will give +1 ECR per warp and +5 score. I am hoping final blends and audio discman pieces will be worth more as well in future.

Anything from the audio discman schema will get you 0.0192 xyte per dig - stackable up to 3!

Galactic123 is sorta a space exploration/battle game and token faucet mining game all rolled into one.

The Chron Riddles Game

"The Chron Riddles" is an online browser game I made between 2002 and 2005 - it is ongoing - it is not specifically an nft based game but I will award nfts to anyone who reaches "temp end" - basically where I have coded it to.
