I kept coming back to the eight tiles in the @FungoLabs logo while working on this video They’re a nod to the eight bytes that hold a Genesis NFT’s hidden traits. One byte for its class, four for its stats, one for its element, and two held in reserve. I like that you can see the shape of the data right there in the logo, even though you can’t see the data itself I created this video, The Sealed Draw, to follow those traits from the moment they’re drawn at mint to a duel where they could help decide the outcome. With @zama’s encryption, a smart contract can work with the hidden stats while the players see the result. Imagine finishing a match and still having to guess what made your opponent so hard to beat The Genesis mint starts November 5 with 500 free mint spots for eligible wallets, followed by a sealed auction for 2,500 NFTs in cZAMA I’d love to see what players figure out about each other over a few rematches when they can’t just pull up a stat sheet

For my latest @FungoLabs video, I put an NFT on a train I created this video, The Secret Express, around a simple idea: everyone can see the train change hands, but the cargo can stay sealed the whole way That’s what got me interested in Fungo Genesis. Ownership is public on Ethereum. The holder can choose to share the artwork, while the hidden stats stay encrypted onchain. If the NFT changes hands, access to what’s still sealed can pass to the new holder without a public reveal The timing worked out nicely too. Genesis minting starts November 5 with 500 free mint spots for allowlisted wallets, followed by a sealed auction for 2,500 NFTs. Bid prices and quantities stay encrypted while bidding is open, and all winners pay the same final price The part I’ll be watching after mint day is what collectors choose to do with their art. I think I’d keep mine sealed for a while. There’s something fun about getting to decide when the reveal happens
