The Half-Life Archive / Base / floor 0.005 ETH
Hand-illustrated.
Then sealed.
1,000 subjects. Nothing here is generated. Nothing here is promised. You are not buying a roadmap — you are taking custody of a record.

- The drawing is finishedHand-made. Exactly 1,000. Forever.

The archive is new. All 1,000 tokens were created by the founder. You would be early. There is no whitelist, surprise mint, staking, token, or promised return.
Verify every claimProduction proof
Drawn first.
Measured later.
Traits on OpenSea were read back out of finished pixels. They were not a recipe used to assemble the art. That order is the whole point.
-
01
Finished drawing
Each Subject is a completed illustration. No generator, no trait script, no assembly pipeline.
-
02
Read from the pixels
8% have laser eyes. That was counted from the artwork, not designed as a rarity table.
-
03
Record, not recipe
Metadata stores what the drawing already shows. Publishing a generator set would reverse that order.
-
04
On Base, inspectable
Ownership settles onchain. The Field Report is gas-only, one per wallet, and does not add to the 1,000.
Why collect
Three honest reasons.
No fourth.
- 01The artwork is hand-made and there are exactly 1,000 of them, forever.
- 02Your Subject enters the archive as a numbered record under your custody.
- 03You get in before anyone else did. Today that is literally true.
What you do not get: a token, staking, a game, revenue share, or a promise that this goes up. If those are what you want, this is the wrong archive.
Archive selection
Meet the witnesses.
No invented rarity scores. No fictional volume. Each card shows narrative identity and links to independently verifiable ownership.
Proof over promises
The checkout already works.
Decay Labs can collect a live Seaport listing inside the Base experience. The code is public, the wallet confirms the transaction, and the final transfer settles on Base.
- 01Choose a Subject
Select a currently listed record.
- 02Confirm in your wallet
Price, token and network remain visible.
- 03Verify on Base
The transaction is independently inspectable.

LIVE BUILD
Not another roadmap slide.
The implementation is available as an MIT-licensed starter. Builders can inspect the API proxy, calldata encoding and wallet fallback instead of trusting a marketing claim.

Live. Building. Not promised.

The Half-Life Archive
A story designed to keep opening.
The Bloom was built to preserve human memory. Instead, it made history privately editable. Ten arcs and one hundred chapters follow the witnesses who survived the rewrite. Read it after you know what you would be collecting.
CHAPTER 001
Funeral Playback
Subject #0007 wakes while watching footage of his own funeral.
Read the 100-chapter map"If the recording is real, who woke inside the capsule?"
Follow the signal
The archive opens in public.
New chapters, Subject files and shipped product updates are published natively on Farcaster, with adapted releases on X. No engagement bait. No surprise mint links.
