# The Collection

GOKIBURI is a collection of **4,096** deterministic on-chain cockroach specimens.

Each token is assigned a genome derived from its token ID. That genome selects the body, antennae, legs, markings, condition, motion, and biological state. The final SVG and metadata are generated when `tokenURI(tokenId)` is called.

There is no external image folder required to reconstruct the specimen. The contract returns the image as a Base64-encoded SVG data URI inside Base64-encoded JSON metadata.

## Observation, not decoration

The visual system borrows from specimen registration, containment labels, and biological field notes. The collection is deliberately uncomfortable: abrupt leg timing, asymmetric gait phases, damaged bodies, brood carriers, and uncertain enclosure records make otherwise minimal pixels feel alive.

## Supply

| Item              | Value                      |
| ----------------- | -------------------------- |
| Maximum supply    | 4,096                      |
| Token standard    | ERC-721                    |
| Common renderer   | Deterministic SVG renderer |
| Rare renderer     | Dedicated 1/1 SVG renderer |
| Named 1/1 tokens  | 8                          |
| Public mint limit | Up to 10 per transaction   |

The authoritative supply, price, mint state, and renderer addresses are always the values stored by the deployed collection contract.

## Design principles

1. **Fully on-chain:** art and metadata are generated by contracts.
2. **Deterministic:** the same token ID produces the same genome.
3. **Pixel-native:** artwork stays crisp and intentionally low-resolution.
4. **Biologically wrong:** motion favors asymmetry and discomfort over clean mechanical loops.
5. **Size-conscious:** every visual system must fit Ethereum-compatible deployment constraints.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gokiburi.gitbook.io/gokiburi-docs/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
