What is Sprite?
Modular NFT sprites and spritesheets created to be easily used by game creators, just plug and play.
Sprite is a collection of 8,888 pixel art sprites with randomly assigned attributes like eyes colors and accessories.
Sprites are an asset which allows game creators to start creating quickly while being flexible enough that they can incorporate their own style to suit their game if necessary.
Sprite's value is built to grow
Sprite's built-in system creates a flywheel to increase its value over the long term
The more games use Sprite, the more valuable it becomes.
So Sprite is built to be easy and flexible to use. The more projects Sprite is a part of, the higher its value.
Pre-made sprites allow creators to get started quickly.
Well-documented metadata allows creators integrate Sprite with their own in-game style.
All values for the attributes in the metadata will be documented to ensure creators can build their game for all Sprites.
Our community pool will incentivize projects
25% of all royalites goes to goes to ensuring more projects are developed with Sprite
The benefits of building with Sprite are:
Free use of our entire sprite vault
When you first start creating a game, the fastest way to do so is by using ready-made sprite sheets. However, you can get bogged down with attribution, royalties, and licensing.
If you have included Sprite NFTs in your project in some way, you can freely use any of our sprite sheets without attribution in both personal and commercial projects.
Prizes for Sprite Jams and Game Jams
Whenever the pool from royalties hit certain thresholds, we will hold either a virtual game jam or sprite jam for anyone to build with Sprite or create sprites for the Sprite vault. The pool will then be used as the prize money.
Currently, the thresholds to hit are 25 ETH for game jams and 12 ETH for Sprite Jams.

Roadmap
How we will bring Sprite to life and involve the community in everything we do.
Phase 1: Infancy
In this phase, the focus is gathering people who have expressed interest in building with Sprite, active members in the commmunity and help to growing the community, and people who contribute to areas like documentation and game prompts.
- Documentation v1.0.0 to be released.
- URL endpoints of the metadata to be released.
- First genesis sale of 77 Sprites.
- Early adopters pre-sale of 700 Sprites.
Phase 2: Adolesence
During our launch, there will giveaways and other community events.
- Public sale of 7000 Sprites.
- 25% minted: 5 Sprites will be given away to members of our Discord and social media.
- 50% minted: Work begins on a project to create PFPs based on the metadata of the Sprite you hold.
- 75% minted: 5 Sprites will be given away to people HODLing Sprite.
- 100% minted: We commit to adding weapons, potions, and other items to the Sprite vault to incentive use in games.
Phase 3: Adulthood
In the final and always ongoing phase of Sprite, there will be events, community voting, and other activities to further encourage builders, creators, and developers to use Sprite in their projects.
- 25 ETH: Game jams with Sprite to be held.
- 12 ETH: The community votes if they want to hold a Sprite jam.
- Documentation to be consistently improved.
- Production URL endpoints to be maintained.
F.A.Q.

For game jams, the pool is split as follows: 1st place - 10 ETH, 2nd place - 5 ETH, 3rd place - 2 ETH, and 8 ETH is for any organizing expenses.
For sprite jams, the pool is split as follows: 1st prize - 5 ETH, 2nd prize - 2 ETH, 3rd prize - 1 ETH, and 4 ETH is for any organizing expenses.
Any unused amount flows back into the community pool.
To win a game jam, there will be 3 components. A vote from HODLers of Sprites, and two independent judges picked from the community based on how active they are. The two independent judges will be constantly rotated for each jam.
The aim for this is to make sure that winners are chosen fairly and cannot be swayed by any single point.
A total of 8,888 unique sprites will be minted. Of those, 7,777 will be available for the pre-sale and public sale.
Yes.
Each Sprite is randomly generated across 10 separate attributes with each attribute having multiple values. This means that there are approximately 3,000,000+ possible permutations of Sprite. Of that, only 8,888 will be available to be minted and yours will be one of them.
Only Sprites minted by Phase 2 will have the source be origin. Beyond this, if any Sprites need to be generated, the source value will never be "origin" again.
Tentatively, we are estimating the launch to be on October 20th, 12PM UTC.
0.08 ETH + gas.
Yes.
Slots for the pre-sale will be filled by people who have started building with Sprite using the documentation and metadata, active members of the community, members who actively grow the community by word-of-mouth, and people who have contributed to the project e.g. documentation feedback, adding lore, etc.
We will be on the lookout for people who fulfil these criteria. If you'd like to secure a spot, you can also ping me on Discord with examples of how you've played these roles.
1111 Sprites will be withheld for marketing, the prize pool for projects building with Sprite, and the team.
