The Gawds summoning portal is near it’s end. We’ve been closing the mint and doing it in the most Gawds way possible: through a cataclysmic black hole event. The total Gawd supply is decreasing by the minute. Gaze upon the vortex sucking in the poor deities at gawds.xyz. Only 900+ Gawds remain.

50% Off Gawds, starting now

In celebration of our epically long mint, we’d like to offer a refund of half the costs of any remaining Gawds that are summoned. Due to the permanent constraints of our minting contract, we are unable to lower the price. This means that:

You pay the full price of 0.08 ETH now and get reimbursed the 0.04 ETH after the final Gawd has been summoned.

At the current rate of supply decay, the final mintable Gawd will be in 6 days. As soon as the last is minted, the Clergy will reimburse all minters of Gawd #5549 and higher — directly into their wallets (not including gas fees). We did this previously for our 'beta testers get a free mint' refund: etherscan transaction as proof we aren't filthy scammers.

Free Looking Glass

We have just one Looking Glass Portrait to give away!  In addition to the 50% reimbursement, anyone who mints a Gawd will be entered into a raffle. After the mint closes, we will randomly pick a winner. Please join our Discord in order to find out which wallet is the winner to claim your prize so we can ship it to you. If we don’t hear from you in 48 hours, we will pick another winner.

The $Blood Game

For new and existing owners alike, we are excited to share with you the $Blood token and the Gawd worshipping game we’ve built into your Wallet page. For the end user, it is a truly Gasless onchain game that consists of 10 contracts and months of iteration. We have build this completely openly with our community and are very proud to have it as the foundation of Gawd interaction mechanics.

Join us and sacrifice your clicks to the Gawds.

🩸 Summoning (aka Minting) — OCT 1 4pm UTC 🩸

Gawds will be available to mint directly through our web site at https://gawds.xyz on October 1st, starting at 4pm UTC (12pm EST, 9am PST). There is a countdown clock on top of the site and once complete, any visitor will be able to buy up to 10 Gawds per transaction with no per-wallet max. You will also be able to mint directly through our contract here.

During minting, we're using a private API to serve metadata and assets, to help reduce gas costs. When minting is complete, we'll switch to IPFS storage and freeze the contract. As mints come in, Gawds will start to fill out our OpenSea profile AND our hosted gallery. The gallery features will grow quickly to enable better trading amongst the community 🙏.

🔥 Pre-Sales Redemption — First Flame NFT holders 🔥

Our September 14 pre-sale here on mirror sold out shockingly quick. 200 First Flame NFTs are currently in many wallets and selling for as much as 1 ETH. Holders of the First Flame NFT will be airdropped their Gawd NFT — at no cost to themselves — for being our early backers.

• The First Flame NFT must be in the desired wallet by 10/1 12am UTC

• The Gawd NFT will be airdropped to that same wallet by 10/1 4pm UTC

• The NFT will be in order of purchase, starting at 201

✨ Clergy Withholding ✨

The Clergy (team) is holding 200 Gawds for giveaways and early worshipers. The first 5 of the 200 will be full sets, meant for big helpers and upcoming charity auction. Other sets are randomly distributed throughout the remaining randomly generated 9,800 GAWDS.

More details can be found on our Discord and Twitter account. We are so excited for this launch and so pleased to have you here with us — as sacrifices.

Each Gawd is generated from 148 hand-drawn parts, procedural animations and custom shaders using Unity. In addition to high-res images, 4K videos, and GIFs, each one is also rendered as an 8K holographic quilt for the new Looking Glass Portrait personal holographic display – the ideal way to showcase a transcendent being from another dimension.

In celebration of this announcement, we are doing a half price pre order of 200 Gawds via the embedded NFT below! By acquiring this token, you are assured a random GAWD airdropped to the retaining wallet on or near the launch date.
