$MOTES
SMALL.STRANGE.THEIRS ALONE.
They are small. Palm-sized, most of them, though some are the size of a thought and some are the size of a house. They have shapes but the shapes do not stay the same when you look away. A Mote seen from one angle is round and soft. From another, it is a slip of shadow with two lights inside.

ONE OF THEM WILL REMEMBER.
There is a story, whispered among the hushes,
that one day the Motes will remember.
Not all at once. Not by trying.
But slowly, like a name coming back to you
in the middle of a task you were doing for another reason.
No one knows what the first Mote to remember will say.
Some hope it is a name.
Some hope it is a warning.
The Motes themselves hope only that they will still be there,
drifting, when it happens.

THINGS PEOPLE ASK.
IF YOURS ISN'T HERE, ASK IN THE HUSH.What is MOTES?
3,333 small strange beings drifting through a shared Void, on Robinhood Chain. Each carries a fragment of something forgotten. It is a collection for people who like their NFTs a little quiet, a little weird, a little literary. Less roadmap, more atmosphere.
What is a Mote?
They are small. Palm-sized, most of them, though some are the size of a thought and some the size of a house. They drift through the Void. They carry fragments. No two Motes agree on where the face is.
What's a fragment?
A thing each Mote carries. A shard, a lantern, a map, a rune, a moon, an ember, a key with no lock, a name. No Mote knows what its fragment is for. But every Mote knows their fragment is theirs.
When does the mint happen?
Soon. We will announce the date here first, and on our Twitter next.
How much will it cost?
Under the price of a coffee. We will announce the exact number before mint.
What chain?
Robinhood Chain. An Ethereum L2 built on Arbitrum. Fast, cheap, and where the Motes chose to appear.
How do I get on the whitelist?
Click GET YOUR SPOT at the top of the page. Follow the Motes on Twitter, quote-tweet the pinned post, tag two friends, and drop your wallet. We review, we draw, we send proofs to the wallets that got a spot.
Will there be secondary trading?
Yes. The collection will be listed on OpenSea automatically once mint completes. Buy and sell as you would any other NFT on Robinhood Chain.
When does the art get revealed?
Every Mote you mint starts as a placeholder. On a date announced after mint completes, every Mote reveals its final form and fragment in a single moment. Until then, they are drifting.
Is there a Discord?
Not yet. There is a Twitter. If a hush forms around us on Discord later, we will meet it there.
