How to Collect
Collecting Art Onchain is a limited two-token edition that links on-chain provenance with a numbered, analog Collector’s Edition book.
Mint the Book Token on OpenSea → Secures and proves ownership of your edition number.
Receive your Tecrrain Artwork Token → A unique generative artwork by Manoloide, airdropped to the same wallet used for minting your Book Token.
Claim your analog book → Hold both tokens in the same wallet to claim your signed, numbered Collector’s Edition book.
Important: Please try not to trade either of tokens until you receive the analog book. All three components—the Book Token, the Artwork Token, and the physical book—form one complete artifact.
For the Curious, the Credible, and the Cultured.
