3,000 Aethra on Ethereum

Minting is open only to wallets holding a Binance Agent ID. Every Aethra is free if you work the terminal, or one dollar if you would rather not. The mint has not started.

Aethra is the bright upper air. The name is Greek, aithra, and it names the clear luminous sky that stands above the weather, the part of the air that is always lit and never clouded. Behind it sits the verb aitho, to kindle, to glow, to burn with a steady light. Air is also the first thing a machine needs. It is what a joint swings through, what a servo sheds its heat into, and what a signal crosses to reach a body of metal and make it move. So the word is not a mood and not a code. It is a description of the place these machines work in, three thousand of them standing in a thin bright air that does not go out.

An Oceanid carried the name long before any of these machines existed. Aethra was a daughter of Oceanus, and she became the mother of Theseus, the one who walked into the labyrinth and came back out. A name older than the metal, tied to a story about going into the dark and returning with something worth keeping, fitted a collection of walking machines better than anything invented last month.

Ether is the same word worn smooth. Aether was the medium the old astronomers filled the upper sky with, then the medium light was said to travel through, then the word physicists reached for when a wave needed something to move in. Ethereum reached for that same Greek air when it took its name, the ether, the medium everything is read and written through, and a walking machine is read the very same way: a body of metal answering a signal that arrived from somewhere else. Aethra was chosen because the collection lives inside that word: the bright air and the network share one root, and the three letters of the chain are already sitting inside the name.

The word is three thousand years old. The chain borrowed it, and the collection borrows it back.

Nothing about the name is decoration. Aethra is what the machines stand in, what the chain is made of, and what the work is trying to hold: a steady light in a thin bright air. The machine is what gets minted. The name belongs to the air it works in.

The mint opens on 10 November 2026 and runs in one line: every Aethra is free if you work the terminal, and one dollar if you would rather not. Both doors need a Binance Agent ID, and nothing is minted yet.

The quick door

One dollar, no work

The free door asks for real work: a challenge built from your own Agent ID, hashed until it fits. One dollar skips all of it. The price is charged in ETH at the live dollar rate, and a ticket is still required, so the Agent ID gate holds on both doors.

nothing sent yet

Two per wallet on this door, counted apart from the two free ones.

The free door

Free, and it costs you time

The free door opens in the terminal, on its own page: one word is published in Docs, the wallet has to hold a Binance Agent ID, and the service hands out a challenge built from that Agent ID, so no two are ever the same. The challenge is meant to cost real time, and only the code that fits unlocks the ticket.

Open the terminal

Two per wallet. The terminal runs on its own page so this sheet stays a sheet.

Result

Waiting for a wallet.

The Binance Agent ID registry is not on Ethereum, so the contract cannot read it. We check your Agent ID off chain and sign a ticket, and the contract accepts that ticket as proof.

  1. 01

    We read your Agent ID

    One lookup for your wallet. If no Agent ID is registered to it, you cannot mint, and the page tells you so instead of failing silently.

  2. 02

    We sign a ticket for your wallet

    When a phase opens we sign a ticket that names your wallet and your Agent ID. The contract checks that signature, so proving who you are costs you nothing extra.

  3. 03

    The contract mints your Aethra

    Two per wallet on the free door, two per wallet on the quick door, and the two limits are counted apart. On top of that you always pay the gas of your own transaction.

System state

Contract Not deployed written and tested, not published yet
Registration Open any wallet holding an Agent ID can take a place
Mint Closed no phase is open, so nothing can be minted

An Aethra's rarity is decided by block randomness at the moment it is minted, and nobody can choose it. Every Aethra also has its own finish, lighting and surface pattern, so no two are identical.

The artwork pool holds 3,810 unique artworks, more than the 3,000 supply, so every minted Aethra gets one of its own.

What the project promises, and what is still to come. Everything here is either read from the chain or clearly marked as a plan.

  1. 01

    What this is

    3,000 Aethra on Ethereum mainnet. Every one of the 2,980 outside the owner reserve is free if you work the terminal, or one dollar if you would rather pay than work, and every mint also costs you the gas of your own transaction. Each Aethra has its own rarity, finish, lighting and surface pattern, and the rarity is drawn from block randomness at the mint, never chosen by anyone.

  2. 02

    How to qualify

    You need a Binance Agent ID. The registry is not on Ethereum, so we read it off chain and sign a ticket that names your wallet and your Agent ID. The contract checks that signature, which is why the proof is free and cannot be forged. Because the mint is free, the door is the terminal page: the first word is aithra, the Greek word this whole page is about, and everything after it is a step you have to walk through.

  3. 03

    One run, two prices

    Two doors, one collection. The free door is work: the terminal hands out a challenge built from your Agent ID, it takes real time to solve, and two per wallet can be earned that way. The quick door is one dollar, two per wallet, and it skips the work entirely. Each door keeps its own limit, so a free Aethra never spends the allowance of a paid one, and both require a ticket, so a Binance Agent ID is the one thing neither door can skip.

    The pool

    The quick door is the only money this project ever takes in, at most 2,980 dollars across the whole collection. When the contract's balance reaches 1 ETH, which is about 2,300 dollars at the live rate, the project allocates that ETH to the pool. That is the owner's decision and it is written here on the record, so it can be held to: it is deliberately not a rule the contract enforces. The withdraw function sends the balance wherever the owner names, and no line of code stops the owner from deciding otherwise. The intention is published, the code stays free.

    Dates and price

    The mint opens on 10 November 2026, and the hour is announced on X. The free door costs nothing but your time and your own gas. The quick door costs 1 dollar, charged in ETH at the live dollar rate read from a Chainlink feed, so the dollar price holds even when ETH moves. You always pay the gas of your own transaction on top. The creator earns 5 percent on secondary sales through enforceable royalties, and the contract address is published on this page before the mint opens.

Coming next

Staking, and a token for it

Staking is planned: hold an Aethra, stake it, and earn the project token while it stays staked. You get the Aethra back when you unstake. Nothing is live yet and no date is set, so treat this as a plan and not an offer. When it opens, the staking contract address, the reward rate and the terms appear here first, and the token is described only on this page and on X.

Until then, be careful: nobody from the project ever asks for your seed phrase, and any page offering staking before this page says so is not ours.

Royalties are enforced at 5 percent through ERC721-C, which asks a transfer validator on every transfer. Once enforcement is switched off it cannot be switched back on, and a marketplace that ignores it cannot transfer an Aethra at all.
