A collection of 10000 generative masks inspired by African tribal art.
Masks of Ether aims to share rich African culture on the Blockchain and promote diversity and inclusivity.
Masks of Ether has launched and can be minted!
• The collection is built with the ERC-721 standard and files are hosted on IPFS.
• There are exactly 10000 masks each one is unique.
• The launch will be fair with fair token distribution. There are NO bonding curves.
• Each Mask costs 0.08 ETH. There are no price tiers. Everyone pays the same price.
• You receive full ownership and commercial rights over your NFT.
Our work is inspired by the beautiful masks created by African tribal communities. We combine their unique aesthetic with a pixel art style pioneered by one of the original NFT projects: CryptoPunks.
We are grateful for the inspiration that the Tribal communities have provided us with, hence we would love to give back to those communities. Additionally, we strongly believe in the value of diversity in the Blockchain and NFT space, as it will create a richer and more inclusive environment. Hence, we will donate to CryptoSavannah and Survival International as they represent these values.
We will also launch a community fund, which will support the Masks of Ether and NFT communities. More details on the community fund can be found on our Discord and Twitter.
There are a wide variety of traits, which have over 140 unique attributes. Look out for rare mask ornaments and the special Harmony mask pattern.

This section presents the provenance record of Masks of Ether. Each NFT image is first hashed using the SHA-256 algorithm. In the order listed below, we combine all these hashes into a single string. The final proof is obtained using SHA-256 to hash this combined string. This is the final provenance record stored on the smart contract as MASKS_PROVENANCE.
Each NFT tokenID is assigned to an image from the initial sequence with this formula:
(tokenID + (10000 - startingIndex)) % 10000 → Initial Sequence ID
Finalized Starting Index: 9782
