About
Step into the void.
V0/id is a collection of 128 unique generative artworks, fully on-chain and born on ApeChain. As the first art mint to take place in the Otherside Nexus, it stands as an ode to the creation of this new world, with subtle references woven throughout.
Each token exists in a state of perpetual transformation, shaped by two forces: its immutable signature and the identity of its current holder.
The outer form (the rings, colors, and structure) is determined by the token’s position in the collection, encoded through a 7-bit signature. This signature is constant. It is a fixed point in the void, the binary essence of the token ID.
The inner form (the core) is generated from the owner's address. With every transfer, the token evolves, and its inner geometry reconstructs itself to reflect its new holder. This core becomes a visual fingerprint, a living identity encoded on-chain. No two addresses within the virtually limitless universe of possibilities will ever produce the same structure. At the same time, all V0/id artworks owned by the same wallet will share the same underlying data points, creating a consistent signature of identity across them.
Together, these two layers create a dialogue between permanence and change: a stable outer shell shaped by origin and an ever-shifting inner form shaped by presence. An artwork that remembers where it came from, yet transforms with everyone who carries it through the void.
Traits
Influence
Each artwork's influence determines the connection style between the points generated from the owner's address. It is inspired by the forces active within the Nexus: Soma, the force of creation, and Chaos, the force of destruction.
Both are distributed equally across the collection, creating a natural balance. Opposing forces interact continuously, their tension driving constant renewal and creation.
Energy
This trait controls the visual intensity and noise level of the artwork. This trait is subtle but shapes the overall texture of the form.
Source
A means of defining the color palette that sets the visual identity of each token. The collection features eight palettes, each carrying meaning connected to the world it was born from.
Five palettes are inspired by sediments found throughout the Otherside, echoing the environments and energies of this emerging world: Biogenic Swamp, Chemical Goo, Cosmic Dream, Infinite Expanse, Rainbow Atmos.
Three additional palettes complete the spectrum: Balance (a reflection of the opposing forces of Soma and Chaos and the equilibrium formed between them), ApeChain (a nod to the chain that anchors and powers the entire system), Void (a representation of origin, emptiness, and the place where all forms begin).
Rings
The Rings attributes define the outer structural frame that surround the core. The ring formation is determined by the token's immutable signature and serves as the stable boundary against which the evolving inner form plays out. Each style reflects a different state of cohesion within the void.
Signature
A 7-bit binary representation (0-127) of the token id that encodes all base traits. This signature is immutable and defines the token's outer form, the part of the artwork that never changes, no matter how many times it evolves.
Evolution System
The evolution system is the core mechanic that makes each V0/id token a living artwork. While the outer traits (rings, colors, structure) remain constant based on the token ID, the inner core dynamically reflects the current owner’s address.
How it works:
- The token ID (0-127) determines base traits: influence, energy, source, and rings
- The current owner's address is used to generate 10 points placed in the central space to form a core
- Each address produces a unique core pattern, creating a visual fingerprint
- When a token is transferred, the new owner's address reshapes the piece's core
- The outer form remains unchanged, but the inner geometry evolves
This system creates a historical record of ownership embedded directly into the artwork. Each transfer leaves a mark, turning the token into a living document of its journey through the void.
