Genesis District — Phase 0

Not just artwork — the first district in the Building Culture world. Framed as a district collectible with on-app utility hooks; on-chain mint when your contract is deployed.

Genesis District — Phase 0 promotional artwork: city district and BCD token

Positioning

  • Category: digital collectible
  • Type: access + ownership layer (story + future rules)
  • Vibe: founder-era artifact — say district / collectible, not “investment.”

Story

genesis district — phase 0 before the world was built, there was one block. a place where ownership wasn’t promised — it was tested. where systems weren’t trusted — they were verified. where culture wasn’t consumed — it was created. this is that moment. the first district on-chain. the first signal. the first proof that real-world assets can live inside a game — and still matter outside of it. hold this, and you’re not early. you’re origin.

Utility (wired + planned)

Pick 2–3 for launch communications; below maps what this repo already supports vs what needs your contract/product decisions.

Genesis builder badge

In-app today

Set VITE_GENESIS_DISTRICT_CONTRACT to your ERC-721. Wallets with balance ≥ 1 show a Genesis builder pill on Profile and earn a one-time +40 XP holder quest.

Free daily BCD boost (XP)

In-app today

Daily claim on Profile grants +50 XP base; holding the district adds +10 XP per successful daily claim (local progression — same rules as other XP).

Discount on district purchases

Product / contract

Example: −10% on-chain — requires pricing logic in your sale / game contracts; not enforced in this repo until you wire it.

Early access to drops

Go-to-market

Use Farcaster + in-game announcements; optionally gate drop URLs by holder snapshot off-chain or merkle later.

Whitelist for future real-estate collectibles

Planned

Export holder addresses from subgraph or block explorer; snapshot + merkle is the usual pattern.

Governance weight (later DAO)

Future

Treat as narrative alignment until a legal DAO framework exists; no voting shipped here.

Mint strategy (guidance)

  • Supply: consider 333 or 777 max.
  • Price band: free claim for early users or ~0.003–0.01 ETH equivalent — prioritize adoption over extraction.
  • Distribution: Farcaster campaign + in-game claim beats noise-only Twitter.

Not financial advice. Token sales may be regulated where you operate — get counsel before publishing a mint.
