Smited Yeti: The Abominable Ministry
Lineage Nº5 · first minted Nov 11, 2026



Yetis, drawn inside their own tokens on Gnosis. Roll a random one for a 0.1 xDAI donation, or build your own from the traits for 0.2 xDAI. Every xDAI goes to the vault.

How we made it
Not a VERY SERIOUS work, obviously. Smited Yeti started as me wanting to see what THEY did. So I followed the production methods of the NFT projects that came before us, start to finish.

What it showed me: most of the famous ones (Bored Apes and the rest) don't keep the picture in the NFT at all. The token points at a file on a server or IPFS. Server goes away, ape goes away. The old-school ones (CryptoPunks, Nouns, Loot) draw the picture ON CHAIN as SVG. SVG isn't a picture, it's drawing instructions, and the chain does the drawing every time someone looks.

We went that way. An NFT should still work after we're all dead.

The catch: every yeti has to fit in a few dozen KB of instructions. No painted fur. Flat vector, a dozen colors, a 512 grid.

AI art can't do layers. Ask it for a yeti, you get a white gorilla. Every time. Ask it to add a hat and it repaints the whole yeti. So we locked ONE master yeti and cut every trait out by hand: eyes, mouth items, nostrils, a lot of it just drawn.

97 traits, 10 slots, 9 furs. Legendaries are luck only; you can't buy one. The contract refuses a duplicate, so no two yetis are ever the same.

Putting all the art on chain cost 0.0082 xDAI. Gnosis is cheap.

  • Your xDAI goes to the vault, becomes GNO, and sits locked four years as liquidity under wBOB.
  • Resales on the built-in trading post pay 2.5% into the same vault.
  • Not locked yet. Until it is, the art can still be fixed for every yeti. Once it's locked, nothing about it can change.
