Modern Relics

Modern Relics is a collection of tokens that were born in 2014 on Dogeparty and in 2015 on Counterparty. They have remained frozen in their original state…until now. We have awakened them from their slumber and have given them a new opportunity to shine in the modern age of crypto collectibles.

This project aims to breathe new life into this collection of ancient tokens by making them more appealing and tradeable, with desirable characteristics. Today’s collector specifically favors a low issuance of a non-divisible asset with an image attached. These relics have all had a divisibility reset and issuance updated to reflect the modern preference.

The final enhancement will be the attachment of a newly created piece of art to each token. Modern Relics will give everyone in the crypto art community a chance to contribute their talent and a fortunate few will have the opportunity to have their art permanently attached to these unique tokens!

I’m a collector: How do I participate?

  • Acquire a Counterparty and/or Dogeparty COLLECTOR token and beginning in May 2023 you will receive airdrops of the monthly Modern Relics listed in the distribution schedule published here.
  • Each COLLECTOR token will receive 1 airdrop of a monthly Modern Relic.
    • Counterparty COLLECTOR will receive Counterparty Modern Relics.
    • Dogeparty COLLECTOR will receive Dogeparty Modern Relics.
  • Want to collect the entire project’s assets? You must acquire BOTH a Counterparty and a Dogeparty COLLECTOR token to get airdropped all 40 monthly Modern Relics

I am an artist: How Can I Participate?

  • Artists may submit artwork for ANY Modern Relic in the project at ANY time during the project.
  • The artwork submission fee will be 1 RELICSUBMIT

What do artists get?

  • Each month, the WINNER of the contest will receive 25 of the 100 monthly Modern Relic asset that they submitted for – to keep, sell, trade, etc.
  • The remaining 75 monthly Modern Relic supply will be distributed by the project to COLLECTOR holders.
  • The winning artist will also receive 1 RELICSUBMIT to use for future submissions.
  • Submissions that did not win will have the artwork minted as a custom sub-asset. The artist will be given full ownership of their sub-asset with the ability to issue supply, lock, etc.
