Bored Claw
ERC-721 on Ethereum

Bored Claw. 10,000 claws. Forged in chrome and shell.

Every Bored Claw is a robot lobster with a face of its own, built plate by plate, each one with its own expression. Mint in ETH, reveal after the mint.

How it works

Three steps. All on-chain.

  1. 01

    Connect a wallet

    Any Ethereum wallet works. No account, no email. The site asks for Ethereum and offers to switch if you are elsewhere.

  2. 02

    Mint in ETH

    Pick 1 to 20 claws per transaction. You pay in ETH plus network gas, straight from your wallet. The price follows the tranche of each token id, and you see the exact total before you sign.

  3. 03

    Reveal after the mint

    Tokens show a placeholder until their batch is revealed. Then the art and traits are published on IPFS, and once all 10,000 are out the metadata is frozen for good.

Price ladder

Early claws cost less.

The price is set by token id in the contract and steps up tranche by tranche as the supply sells. The first 500 claws cost 0.10 ETH and the next 500 cost 0.15 ETH, then each tranche costs more than the one before. A purchase that crosses a step pays each claw at its own tranche, and the checkout shows the split before you sign.

What you own

A collectible with a clear license.

The token
An ERC-721 token held in your own wallet. You can keep it, transfer it or sell it. Nobody else holds your keys.
Personal use of the art
Show your claw anywhere for personal use, as an avatar, a print or in a gallery.
Commercial use
Limited commercial rights over your own claw, within the terms of the Art License.
What it is not
Not a share, not a security, not a promise of return. No dividend, no buyback, no yield.

Summary only. The Art License and the Terms of Sale prevail over this section.

FAQ

Questions before you mint.

Provenance

The art order, committed before the sale.

The order of all the art in the collection was fixed and published before the first mint. The file below lists every position with its art id and the hash of its files, and its IPFS CID is the commitment.

Commitment CID
bafybeigmcsx3qluryb6ca4onpaibs7hu5ftvxblp5hvijso7u3jwam6tci

To check it, download art-order.json from any IPFS gateway or node, confirm that its CID is the one above and that the same CID is in the official announcement, then compare the hashes with the art once it is revealed.

This commitment lives outside the blockchain. The contract does not verify the order: anyone can check it, but nothing on-chain enforces it.

This is the only contract of the collection. Anything else using the name is not us.
