03 / State Zero
A founding cohort that keeps accumulating.
STATE ZERO is the studio’s fixed founding cohort. It funded the beginning; everything after it — every project, launch, failure, recovery, and milestone — becomes part of its permanent record. It is designed as a living founding artifact, not a static collectible: its value language is accumulated provenance, not conventional rarity.
03.1 / What it is / what it is not
It is a founding membership, a permanent provenance layer, and a witness to the company’s history. It is not equity, stock, company ownership, guaranteed income, yield, or a promise of profit.
There will never be a State Zero Season 2, a second genesis collection, a replacement founder pass, or a successor marketed as equivalent. The founding cohort is not recreated and not silently diluted.
Final participation terms — supply, price, chain, and any economic features — have not been published. Minting is not currently active. Revenue claims are not currently active. The architecture described below is designed and gated, not live.
03.2 / Three layers of history
Layer 1
Company history
Every artifact witnesses the same Chronicle: projects, launches, incidents, recoveries, epochs. This layer never resets and can never be bought separately — it accrues to the whole cohort.
Layer 2
Token provenance
Transfers, custody periods, and token-specific marks. This layer travels with the token: buy an artifact and you hold its provenance, like acquiring a document with its history of ownership.
Layer 3
Holder participation
Votes, contributions, testing, grants. This layer is attached to the wallet that did the participating. It does not become the buyer's personal history after a transfer.
On transfer: company history stays with every artifact, token provenance stays with the token, and a seller’s participation history remains theirs. Where future distributions are concerned, the intended rule is checkpoint-based — allocations accrued before a transfer remain with the holder entitled at the time; future allocations follow future ownership. That rule is documented as architecture, not as published terms.
03.3 / Explorer
No tokens exist.
The State Zero collection has not been created, and no contract has been deployed. When the founding cohort exists, every artifact will be explorable here — its seed, its provenance, and the company history it has witnessed. Until then, this page shows exactly what exists: nothing.
03.4 / Economic gates
The intended long-term model routes a defined portion of eligible project revenue into a distribution system for State Zero holders, governed by published contract rules and recorded in the Chronicle. Every gate on that model — entity formation, counsel review, securities analysis, audits, custody, published terms — is currently open, and the features are disabled in code as well as in policy.
