Introducing Arrows 

Arrows is a generative onchain game heavily inspired by Checks and Higher

HIGHER

Growth is infinite. Work is worship.

/vv /opepen /checks

Checks is an iconic project that explores onchain creativity by creating generative art that doubles as commentary around online verification on social media
   
Impeccably designed and executed by @jack @jalil.eth @traf 
 
Higher is a community-owned brand for artists, fitness enthusiasts, developers, entrepreneurs and crypto pioneers.  It’s a headless brand that values experimentation, taste and creativity - /higher 
 
Arrows is a remix project that pays homage to these two amazing projects

Checks was a game that didn’t get to fully play out due to limited supply, mainnet gas fees and hype that resulted in people not wanting to combine their Checks to preserve liquidity and optionality

We’ve built Arrows so that the game is more accessible and can play out further

Checks is an endless rabbit hole so please check out this thread by Jack below for more context around our inspiration for Arrows

Transparency time:

Working on the next iteration of Checks and itching to share some of the ideas/revisions/thinking.

Went back and forth on doing this — but ultimately, the process is as much a part of the art as the art itself, so will be sharing more in the thread below. https://t.co/4g84V9wYBb

Checks has done over 80,000 ETH in trading volume and it’s still a living, breathing collection where people can still reveal and evolve them

The impeccably designed checks.art site is one of the most beautiful websites on the internet

We have built Arrows on the shoulders of Checks

The Higher Arrow is a centerpiece in the Arrows project. It’s an iconic symbol that exudes positivity, creativity and experimentation

Higher is a headless brand that originated on Farcaster among a group of onchain creatives with superb taste.  It’s a permissionless brand, anyone can contribute in any way they see fit - aimhigher.net

The Arrow is the iconic symbol that unites the people and projects around the Higher brand so we felt that it was a perfect symbol to use for Arrows  

We aim higher with Arrows ↑

A sufficiently decentralized social network. farcaster.xyz

In addition to Checks and Higher, we also incorporated the 
@warpcast badge which is what the Higher Arrow sits on top of in the Arrows art  

We are huge fans of @farcaster and all the creative possibilities with an open programmable social network

The energy, creativity and experimentation here is second to none

Here’s how the Arrows game works:

1. Mint Arrows - 8 Arrows for .008eth

2. Evolve your Arrows by combining two Arrows together.  Click the one you want to keep first then click the second one that you want to burn to evolve them together

3. Every mint contributes to the prize pool and the first user to evolve into the Single Green Higher Arrow will be able to claim the prize pool

4. Try to selectively combine Arrows to win the prize or just mint and combine arrows to create an Arrow that you love

5. If you’re able to evolve into the Single Higher Arrow then you will be able to burn the NFT and claim the prize pool

It will take 64 Arrows to combine all the way down into a Single Arrow

There’s 80 possible possible colors and the goal is to combine down to get the Single Green Higher Arrow which has the color code #018A08

Mint details:

We have built this where the ideal experience will be in a frame on Warpcast but users will also be able to mint and play the game on the website too

Mint Date: Wednesday 3/26 at 2pm EST 
Cost: .008 ETH for 8 Arrows

Arrows is a remix project

Paying homage to Checks, we have forked the Checks contract and moved it to @base so that the generative game is at the forefront for everyone to play and enjoy

We incorporated the Higher Arrow which replaces the Checkmark as the key symbol for the art and the overall Arrows project

We incorporated Warpcast Badge which replaces the original Checks badge

We built on top of these pioneering projects

Arrows is a commentary on the permissionless interoperability that crypto enables

We would love to see more creative and experimental remix projects
