About the Project
The idea for the project was conceived on a sunrise beach walk in St. Augustine, FL. The goal is to do nothing more
than capture some beautiful sunrises around the world. As the name suggests the project strives to capture twelve
different sunrises in 2022 and make twelve images of each in to tokens minted for posterity on the Ethereum blockchain
for a total of 144 1/1 photo NFTs + 1 massive grid collage NFT. The first half of the locations will be chosen by the
artist and the second half will be guided by a DAO of owners at the time. All photos were taken with a smart phone as
a way to limit the variables and type of photos that could be taken. The goal is to have a consitent flow across all
144 photos.
Progress
24 of 144 sunrise photos minted as of 1/29/2022.
FAQ
Where is the contract?
0xf276be0198ce7b6cec84c3270c02314a1f49808f (etherscan.io)
Who created the contract?
It was created by David using manifold.xyz studio. It is a standard ERC-721 contract the token code is SUN12.
Where can I buy a Twelve Sunrises NFT?
They are available on the marketplaces Opensea and Rarible.
How will you decide the locations for the twelve sunrises?
The first eight locations (#1-#96) will be decided by the artist and will most likely be easily travelable in the Northeast United States.
The last four locations (#97-#144) will be voted on by a DAO that will be majority run by the current owners of the SUN12 tokens.
Do you have a Roadmap?
Yes! It is simple and it is to take 145 photos of sunrises and mint & sell them as NFTs. It also involves greating a strong community that is interested enough to help choose
where the last four sunrises will take place. Could that change over time? Yes, this is a year long project that may change over time. A year in NFT time is a lifetime.
How many NFTs will be in the collection?
The goal is to have 145 total tokens. 12 locations x 12 photos + 1 massive grid = 145. The final image will
contain a large grid of the other 144 in one image.
How much will the NFTs cost?
- The first 48 tokens (#1-#48) will be sold in 7 day auctions with a price reducing over time from the 2x current floor (or 1eth) to .1eth. If they do not
sell they will be listed for .1eth flat sale.
- The remainder (#48-#144) will be sold in 7 day auctions starting at .1eth with no reserve. If they do not
sell they will be listed for .1eth flat sale.
- As of now it is undecided how the final massive grid token (#145) will be sold.
This may change over time as the project evolves.
Will you really travel anywhere the DAO votes for you to go?
The only limits would be the cost and safety but I would be willing to travel most places. The budget of any trip will be based
on how much the previous sales have put in the wallet. As the artist I will also have an influence on what is voted on in the DAO
as I want to keep with the overall astetic of the project.
What if you are unable to travel due to covid?
If traveling is not an option in 2022. I will try to commission an artist to represent the project as best
as possible so that the project can continue.
Will any profits be donated to charity?
After overhead, travel, minting cost, gas and taxes, 10% will be dontated to the charity Elizabeth
Coalition to House the Homeless.
Will any tokens be kept by the project team?
12 tokens (one from each location) will be airdroped to either a member of the project team, a member of a supporting project or
an individual that helped with the logistics of a sunrise shoot.
Is this a sound investment?
The value of any NFT is not guaranteed. You are investing in the people, the project and the art.
