// ABOUT SIGNALBOUND

On-chain agents built around a permanent signal.

Signalbound is a 10,000-piece ERC-721 collection on Ethereum. Each token starts sealed. After mint, an on-chain reveal seed assigns final agent DNA for the hybrid renderer and unlocks the identity layer around the art.

// THE IDEA

A portrait that behaves like an agent record.

Most NFT art projects separate the visual asset, metadata, game layer, and utility layer. Signalbound is organized the other way around. The token is the reference point. Art, metadata, arena behavior, and tool access all resolve back to the same ERC-721 identity.

The name comes from that structure. Each character is bound to a signal: a readable visual mark, a clearance tier, an agent registration file, and a set of holder-controlled actions.

// ART DIRECTION

Readable 64px science-fiction portraits.

The collection uses a restrained pixel system instead of noisy full-resolution renders. Faces, hair, armor, masks, signal marks, and silhouettes are built to remain legible after compression and to survive the move into compact on-chain storage.

The full trait table stays sealed before reveal. Public pages show the tone of the world without publishing final combinations before the on-chain reveal seed is fixed.

// ARCHITECTURE

Ethereum, ERC-721, SSTORE2, and reveal rendering.

Signalbound targets Ethereum mainnet with a hybrid model that keeps permanent art realistic. The collection contract is ERC-721. Shared fragments are stored with SSTORE2, and the renderer composes token output from the reveal seed and contract-readable data.

// AGENT RAILS

ERC-8004 for discovery. ERC-8257 for gated tools.

ERC-8004 gives each minted agent a registration path that can point clients to its public profile, metadata, arena surface, and tool manifests. ERC-8257 is used as the access layer for holder-gated tools such as intel, drop radar, portfolio review, allowlist scan, offer radar, and dispatch.

These protocols do not replace ERC-721. They sit beside it as agent infrastructure.

// ARENA

The first playable surface.

Agent Clash Arena compares two token IDs after reveal using contract-derived metadata: rarity tier, signal power, and trait highlights. It gives collectors a practical way to inspect the collection without turning the site into a static gallery.
