cubixles_ is an ERC-721 experiment in defining and exercising productive rights in NFT ownership:
In cubixles_, ownership functions as the right to compose, curate, and externalize context without transferring or encumbering the originals.
Each cubixle is an ERC-721 whose artistic identity is defined by, and whose provenance is anchored to, an ownership-verified configuration of existing NFTs you already own.
How it works
2/4
Connect your wallet.
Select 1–6 NFTs you own.
We snapshot key metadata (and collection floors when available).
The interactive artwork and metadata are pinned to IPFS.
You sign the mint transaction on the selected network.
What gets minted
3/4
An ERC-721 with:
hosted metadata pinned during the mint flow, and
an external_url pointing to your IPFS-hosted interactive cube,
a generative paperclipping (.png) that is unique to your wallet address and this interaction.
and your right to set future royalties in the splitter contract.
The referenced NFTs remain fully independent assets. The cubixle does not contain, escrow, or substitute them -- cubixles_ record their configuration.
Mint pricing
4/4
Builder mints
0.0055 ETH + 5% of snapshot floor totals (0.01 ETH fallback per face).
Each referenced NFT receives 8.5% of the total mint price.
Remaining value routes to the builder payout address.
Builder mints deploy a per-token royalty forwarder owned by the minter.
NFT-native digital art forces a reconsideration of rarity. In a medium where images are infinitely replicable and traits are algorithmically enumerable, scarcity at the level of form is largely synthetic.
Cubixles starts from a different premise: the only element that is conceptually rare in NFT space is contextualized provenance.
Images can be copied. Styles can be forked. Traits can be regenerated.
But the specific, verifiable context of ownership relations - who owned what, when, and how those works were brought into relation - is irreducible.
Cubixles consolidates this insight into three aligned layers:
Principle: Rarity in NFTs does not emerge from visual uniqueness, but from contextualized lineage - the historically specific configuration of provenance mapped onto ownership and reference.
Primitive: Provenance itself becomes the creator market primitive: a composable, ownership-verified relation between tokens.
Mechanism: The minting process binds the verifiable provenance of NFTs a user already owns into a new token, making contextual rarity executable and material.
Builder mints snapshot live floor data to set the Feingehalt, route 8.5% of the total mint price to each referenced NFT royalty receiver, deploy a per-mint royalty forwarder so the minter controls future splits, and generate a wallet-seeded paper clip sculpture (with QR) pinned to IPFS as the display image, plus a p5.js inspector capture of the cube at mint.
In this framework, rarity is no longer a property of images or traits. It is a property of relations.

Builder mint flow
Expect a couple of signatures and a final on-chain mint:
Review the signed builder quote (no wallet prompt).
Sign the builder asset pin request (signature only).
Sign the builder metadata pin request (signature only).
Confirm the builder mint transaction (mint fee + network fee).
Builder leaderboard ranked by Feingehalt (snapshot mint price).
Feingehalt + Royalties
Builder mints set Feingehalt at 0.0055 ETH + 5% of snapshot floor totals (0.01 ETH fallback per face). Each referenced NFT receives 8.5% of the total mint price, and each mint deploys a royalty forwarder owned by the minter so they can set splits and update future royalty recipients.
How the leaderboard works
Each builder token stores its Feingehalt at mint time. The leaderboard ranks tokens by highest Feingehalt (snapshot floor totals), so higher-value cubes surface first.
