On December 9, 2022, MintPass 2 holders can begin the process of minting and evolving their Designated Observational Travelers (DOTs).

Inside the Inhabitants Universe, DOTs are conceived and gestated in a server of co-mingled artificial intelligence. Individual DOTs are uploaded into Digital Creches, where a MintPass 2 can be paired and a DOT can be claimed. Utilizing the “carrier and shield” design of the MintPass 2, the DOT delivery process is safe, reliable, and (mostly) predictable.

Each DOT is unique and will not reveal its traits until a MintPass 2 digital token is burned, creating an Evolution 1 DOT. Before you join us on this journey, please familiarize yourself with the below instructions to ensure a smooth DOT minting and evolving experience.

Fragments

DOTs utilize a new point system called Fragments, which are the key to their evolving mechanics. The purpose of Fragments is to incorporate a simple value system that is easy for the community to understand. Further, it is intended to improve the experience through flexibility, by allowing tokens to be re-used to create new outcomes for our collectors.

Evolving an existing DOT requires MintPass 2, DOTs, or a mix of the two digital tokens, which will be burned as part of the evolution mechanic. As the evolution level of a DOT increases, so does the complexity of which ecosystem pieces can be combined to upgrade to the next level.

MintPass 2 and DOT digital tokens are each assigned their own Fragment value, and tokens can easily be mixed and matched to evolve DOTs in The Vault. See Evolving DOTs* *below for more information.

Minting DOTs

Step 1: Connect your wallet

Click the CONNECT button to connect your wallet. When prompted to either mint or evolve DOTs, choose the **MINT DOTS **option.

If you receive an error message, please ensure your connected wallet holds at least one MintPass 2 digital token. An increasing number of these tokens are required to mint a new DOT, depending on the target evolution.

Step 2: Choose which DOT evolution to mint

There will be six evolutions that can be achieved through minting in The Vault, beginning with Evolutions 1 and 2. Minting of Evolutions 3 through 6 will progressively open as the DOTs story is told. Unavailable options will show a lock symbol and grayed-out text.

Choose the evolution and quantity of DOTs you want to mint, then click the MINT NOW button. There is no cap on the number of DOTs you can mint in one transaction. Follow the prompts in your wallet to complete the transaction.

Step 3: View the results of your DOTs mint

Results of your DOTs mint will be viewable in The Vault after a successful minting transaction confirms on the blockchain. If images have not loaded, press the **REFRESH DOT DATA **button. Please do not refresh the browser window itself.

Once the screen is closed, results are viewable on either the Pixel Vault Market or a third-party marketplace.

Evolving DOTs

Step 1: Connect your wallet

Click the CONNECT button to connect your wallet. When prompted to either mint or evolve DOTs, choose the **EVOLVE DOTS **option.

If you receive an error message, please ensure your connected wallet holds the token combinations required to evolve a DOT.

Step 2: Choose DOTs to evolve

Begin by selecting an evolution level for your DOT(s) in The Vault. Evolution 2 DOTs are the first to be unlocked, and Evolutions 3 through 6 will open at a later date.

Click the CONTINUE button to move onto the selection screen to choose which DOTs to evolve.

Up to 8 upgraded DOTs can be created in a single transaction. The DOTs being upgraded can be comprised of different evolution levels, but they must be lower than the target evolution level. For example, Evolution 2 and Evolution 3 DOTs can both be upgraded to Evolution 4 DOTs in the same transaction.

Click the CONTINUE button to move on to the Fragment selection page.

Step 3: Choose your Fragments

As a DOT evolves, the number of Fragments required will increase exponentially.

Evolution 1 DOTs can only be minted. See Minting DOTs for additional details on minting Evolution 1 DOTs.

An exact number of Fragments are required to move forward with the evolution process. Existing DOTs can only be burned to evolve (i.e., Evolution 2 to Evolution 3), and burning DOTs to devolve (i.e., Evolution 3 to multiple Evolutions 2) is not possible.

Click on the CONTINUE button to confirm your choices.

The final confirmation screen will appear. Review the Fragments you wish to burn, as this process is irreversible. If ready to move forward, click the **PROCEED **button and follow the prompts in your wallet to complete the transaction.

Step 4: View the results of your DOTs evolution

Once the evolution transaction receives blockchain confirmation, the results will be viewable within The Vault.

Once the screen is closed, results are viewable on either the Pixel Vault Market or a third-party marketplace.

Anomalies:

DOTs value their individuality. They are constantly tweaking, testing, and experimenting with their robot bodies to subscript their personality onto their physical forms. Subscripting generally sticks to the traits prevalent in Evolution 2 and beyond, but an anomaly may occur that permanently changes a DOT in its existing and future forms.

One anomaly event occurs in between minting windows for each evolution cycle. The first anomaly event will apply to Evolution 2 DOTs, continuing through Evolution 6. All DOTs at the latest evolution level **without **an anomaly trait are eligible. Once a specific DOT receives an anomaly, it will perpetually hold that trait for all subsequent evolutions. Further, that particular DOT will no longer qualify for future evolution events.

When an anomaly occurs, the background turns holographic, and the DOT reflects one of three physical changes. Anomaly events will be random using Chainlink VRF, seamlessly updating all qualifying DOT digital tokens with the new metadata. Overall, there will be a limited supply of anomalies, and the final amount will be determined by the total number of DOTs eligible for each anomaly event.
