ASCII Cats

ASCII Cats is a plain-text NFT series on Robinhood Chain with 3,333 pieces, free to mint at one per wallet, where the image, traits and artwork all live inside the contract rather than on IPFS or an external server. Each cat combines characters across six categories: hat, eyes, mouth, neckwear, belly and tail.

The core mechanic is nine lives. Every cat mints with nine on-chain lives, and burning one rerolls all traits; the more lives burned, the more extra dice rolls a reroll receives, raising the odds of rare traits. Lives also set the daily catnip yield, with a full nine-life cat earning most. Once lives run out a cat becomes a grey ghost that cannot reroll or earn but can still be traded, and lives can be bought back with the platform token at a price that rises with each revival, with most of that fee burned and a small share paid to holders who never burned a life.
