Documentation

Museum of Normies is a living on-chain museum built from Normies.

It creates permanent 40×40 cultural artefacts through the Normies Canvas. Each Issue transforms a real Normie into a duo-colour interpretation of an iconic cultural subject. The final Issue Piece enters the POP Archive permanently.

This is not generic pixel art. This is not a marketplace. This is not a DAO treasury page.

The museum is built from the actual Normies ecosystem: real Normies, real Canvas mechanics, real 40×40 duo-colour constraints, real fuel Normies, real AP, real on-chain transformation history and real public provenance.

Museum of Normies is community-built. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Normies team.

The POP Archive is the permanent collection inside Museum of Normies.

POP means two things simultaneously:

Proof of Pixels — every Issue Piece is created through verifiable on-chain Canvas mechanics. The transformation history is public and permanent.

Pop Culture — the POP Archive uses the Normies Canvas to interpret iconic cultural subjects: art, music, cinema, advertising, technology, human achievement and historic moments.

The POP Archive preserves Issue Pieces and their full provenance. Issue Pieces are not created to be sold. The museum holds them permanently.

Issue No. 001 is Marilyn.

Marilyn will be interpreted through the Normies Canvas and preserved as Issue Piece #001 in the POP Archive.

There is no vote for Issue No. 001. Marilyn is the first Issue.

The Canvas mechanics for Issue No. 001: 1. A target Normie is selected and acquired by the Public Safe 2. Fuel Normies are acquired and burned for Canvas Action Points 3. AP is spent applying the Marilyn design pixel by pixel on the 40×40 Canvas 4. The final transformed state becomes Issue Piece #001 5. Issue Piece #001 enters the POP Archive permanently

Patrons who secure Provenance Records for Issue No. 001 are permanently recorded in the provenance of Issue Piece #001.

A Provenance Record is permanent proof that a patron helped bring an Issue Piece into the Museum of Normies.

A Provenance Record is not ownership of the Issue Piece. A Provenance Record is not a financial claim. A Provenance Record is not a share of the artwork. A Provenance Record carries no right to revenue, yield, profit or redemption.

It is a cultural provenance record.

Each Provenance Record contains: - Issue number - Issue Piece subject - Patron wallet address - Classification (Patron / Curator / Archivist / Founding Archivist) - Provenance Record number (sequential within Issue) - Acquisition date and block number - Transaction hash formatted as accession reference - Canvas reference (Normies Canvas, 40×40 on-chain pixels) - Archive link

The museum keeps the art. The patrons keep the provenance.

Issue No. 001 has four provenance classifications:

Patron — 1+ records. Entry provenance. Permanent proof your wallet helped bring Issue Piece #001 into the museum.

Curator — 5+ records. Wallet-seeded provenance variation. Unique record art seeded from your wallet address.

Archivist — 10+ records. Enhanced generative provenance art. Named in the Issue No. 001 Archive entry.

Founding Archivist — 25+ records. Max 50 ever. Issue No. 001 only. The rarest classification in this Issue. Permanent founding record in the Museum of Normies. Full-canvas provenance piece.

Classifications are determined by the number of Provenance Records held at the time of issue. Classifications are not transferable independently of the records.

The Issue Piece enters the POP Archive.

The goal is preservation, not sale. Issue Pieces are not created to be flipped. Once a Canvas transformation is complete and the final 40×40 state is confirmed, the Issue Piece is archived permanently.

The transformed Normie remains in the Public Safe. It is held by the museum. Future ambition may include public vault pages, exhibitions, physical prints and museum-style display — but these are not promised until details are confirmed.

The Canvas history of every Issue Piece is permanently verifiable on-chain: the fuel burns, AP transfers, pixel edits and final state are all recorded.

The Normies Canvas is the on-chain pixel editing system that makes Museum of Normies possible.

Each Normie is a 40×40 monochrome pixel grid stored on-chain. Canvas edits add or remove individual pixels. Each edit costs 1 Action Point (AP). AP is earned by burning fuel Normies into a target Normie.

AP yield: Each burned Normie transfers AP based on its pixel count and Canvas tier. AP yield is estimated from burn history — not exact until verified from contract source. Higher pixel-count Normies generally yield more AP.

Fuel Normies: Fuel Normies are burned permanently for their AP. They are selected to minimise total ETH cost per AP. Cheapest floor is not always best — a higher-pixel Normie may cost less per AP.

The target Normie: The target is transformed by Canvas edits and becomes the Issue Piece. It is kept in the museum permanently.

40×40 duo-colour constraint: Every Issue Piece must be legible in two colours. The strongest candidates have clear silhouettes that survive pixelation at 40×40. This constraint is core to what MoN is.

All funds and Normies held by Museum of Normies are controlled by a public Safe multisig on Ethereum mainnet.

Safe setup: - 2-of-3 multisig — 3 signers, 2 must approve any transaction - Every transaction is visible on-chain - Safe address is public and linked from the site

What the Safe holds: - ETH raised from Provenance Record mints - Target Normies (kept after transformation — permanent collection) - Fuel Normies (before they are burned)

The app never auto-executes. Safe signers manually review and approve every treasury action. The Buy Plan is published publicly before execution.

Target and fuel Normie IDs are not shown publicly before purchase — this reduces frontrun and sniping risk.

Museum of Normies is an early-stage project. Read this carefully.

Risks: - Canvas AP yield is estimated, not guaranteed. Actual AP from burns may differ. - Floor prices move. Budget estimates use live or cached floor data and may be outdated. - Normies availability is not guaranteed. A target or fuel Normie may be delisted before purchase. - Smart contract risk. The Normies Canvas is an on-chain system. Changes to the contract could affect execution. - Safe key management. Loss of Safe signer keys could affect treasury access. - Final Canvas art has not yet been executed. Feasibility depends on the actual Normies mechanics and Canvas artist.

No promises: - No token at launch. No promises about future tokens. - Provenance Records are not investments. They carry no right to yield, profit or redemption. - Physical print or catalogue claims are not promised unless announced. - Museum of Normies makes no guarantees about future Issues, future Provenance Record value or future transformation outcomes.

Museum of Normies is community-built and not affiliated with the Normies team.

Q: Do I need to own a Normie to participate? A: No. Any wallet can apply for the Issue No. 001 Provenance List and secure Provenance Records.

Q: What happens to the fuel Normies? A: They are burned permanently through the Canvas. Burning is irreversible. Fuel Normies transfer their AP to the target Normie before being burned.

Q: Can I get a refund? A: No. Provenance Record mints are non-refundable. Funds route to the Public Safe immediately.

Q: When does the mint open? A: Once the Provenance mint route is confirmed and the budget model is finalised. Apply for the Provenance List to be notified.

Q: Who controls the Safe? A: Three signers. Two must approve any transaction. Signer addresses are on-chain and publicly visible.

Q: What is a Founding Archivist? A: The rarest classification in Issue No. 001. Max 50 ever. Founding Archivist records are available to patrons who secure 25 or more Provenance Records. Issue No. 001 only.

Q: Is there a token? A: No token at launch. No promises.

Q: Why is the target Normie kept private before purchase? A: To reduce frontrun risk. If the target Normie ID is known before the Safe buys it, other buyers could acquire it first and demand a premium.

Q: What is the canvas specialist role? A: A known Normies community operator may be credited on Issue No. 001 for Canvas execution support — translating the design into feasible 40×40 duo-colour art and advising on AP/fuel planning. Not yet confirmed.
