Introducing: Soulbounds

Soulbounds are unique, fully onchain NFTs generated from your ETH address using Base Colors. 

They blend the ideas of Base Colors and Waveforms, a fusion inspired by discussions with @jake at Basecamp.

A cast thread on how Soulbounds work onchain and how they interact with the Base colors contract.... 🧵

Each Soulbound is made up of 7 colors. Each color's hex code comes from your Ethereum address. 

Here is my address broken down into 7 colors.

Fully Onchain Builder

The image is generated using these color codes to create a fully onchain representation of your address.

The keen eyes among you will notice that 0x777c isn't a valid hex code and we get bf777c instead for our first color.

To solve this "X" issue, I am replacing "0x" with a random hex code. derived from the your entire ETH address.

This is done by getting a random number between 0 - 255 using your ethereum address as the random value and converting this to Hex.

Base Colors Integration

My contract makes a call to the Base colors contract and checks if this color has been:

1) Minted -  if not you can mint this color hex that is part of your address.

2) Named - If the color has been named, this will appear as the metadata in your Soulbound.

If you mint your colors and name them, refreshing the metadata on Opensea will instantly populate these names.

As the collection name describes, each NFT is unique to a wallet so they are forever soulbound to that wallet once minted.

Big thanks to @jake  @avinashnayak for all the work to bring this collection to life.
