Merge and Evolve
To become a cyborg, one must go through a process of merging human and machine elements together. Lore
An additional drop of a machines collection will be made to allow the production of cyborgs. Cyborgs are an evolution of the two collections and their holders receive exclusive benefits in the ecosystem.
Burn
The PFP burning process will be an evolutionary process. Burning a PFP means removing it from circulation and receiving its new version. This process makes all PFPs in the main collection rarer, and the user gets a version of their PFP that is ultra-rare.
The only way to burn a PFP is to pay a fee in $net. The fee depending on the rarity of the asset.
Burn Rate
The Burn Rate is the final cost that will be required to perform the merge between the collections. The formula to calculate the burn rate is:
Where fr is fixed rate and rl is rarity score.
Rarity Scoring Methodology
NFT metadata will be in the format of: {Attribute: Trait}
It is possible for no trait to be assigned, in which case the value associated will be "none".
In this example, we would have {Wig: Mikey Blue}, {Lens: Human Blue}, {Sunglasses: None}...:
Knowing this, we can do a demographic study and calculate the predominance of attributes in the following way:
For a given trait, we can calculate a rarity score by taking the inverse:
To calculate the rarity of an NFT, we need to look at all the NFT's traits and compare them to the average. For each trait that is above average, we add 1 to the rarity score. For each trait that is below average, we subtract 1 from the rarity score. If an NFT has no traits that are above or below average, its rarity score is 0. For example, if an NFT has a trait that is very common, it will have a low rarity score. If an NFT has a trait that is very rare, it will have a high rarity score.
