Campus Cards · a PointCast set on Tezos

Ten campuses.
Two sets in.

Twelve pixel-art place cards per campus, drawn from the places instead of the logos. Santa Barbara is the bluffs, the lagoon, and the bike tunnel. Berkeley is the campanile, the creek, and the fog coming through the Golden Gate. Every set has six common, three uncommon, two rare, and one legendary. The other eight campuses come one set at a time, on the same contract.

Unofficial. An independent PointCast art project about places. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the University of California or any campus. No university logos, seals, mascots, or marks are used.

How it works

One contract, every campus.

  • Each card is an FA2 token on Tezos mainnet. Token ids run in set order: Santa Barbara is 0 through 11, Berkeley is 12 through 23.
  • Mint takes a card id and a quantity, up to ten at a time, at the card's price. Caps are enforced on chain.
  • New campus sets are added to the same contract and start closed until their cards are ready.
  • The art is original pixel painting generated from one data file, animated SVG with a PNG twin, released CC0.
