Depict Soup is a post-post-post-modern^2 art tribute to Warhol and the commericalization of art. Infinte Art Soup for ALL! The Depict Soup machine replicates the art world in miniature, allowing users to influence the market through canny control of random creative output. Fully On-Chain, with randomness provided by Chainlink and liquidity mechnics attached to both Trait Rarity and Mint price, Depict Soup will stand as an autonomous tribute to Warhol and Art Scenes everywhere for as long as the Polygon Network is running.

Depict Soup Cans are premium NFTs and their art and metadata are fully on-chain. This means no reliance on IPFS, another chain, or anything. Your winking tribute to Warhol survives as long as Polygon exists. We also do not assemble the image each time the tokenURI function is called, but instead fully embed the SVG into the URI field. We are as fully-on-chain as it is possible to be.

Depict Soup Cans pay homage to the world of commerical artistry by integrating a liquidity curve mechanism into the piece. The more Soup Cans that are minted, the higher the price of the Minting becomes. Upcycling Cans drops the Mint Price, and returns half of the original Mint Cost to you. This allows users to cultivate Traits in the minted Soup Can pool quite freely, Upcycling tokens which hold little to no attractiveness. In theory, this means an token not deemed visually or otherwise interesting will be Upcycled, naturally evolving the existing tokens toward what users enjoy. In practice? Who knows!

Traits are derived from a random string gotten from Chainlink. Sections of this string map to Trait Types (see tables below for more information on trait types). The values of these sections determine the type of trait selected. Some traits are part of a set, but not all. Trait trading is currently being explored to allow users to continue to curate value after reveal.
