We're creating a special collection of 100 unique NFTs to honor our testnet users who have been instrumental in Codex's journey. These NFTs will embody the core principles that make Codex powerful:
- Privacy
- Censorship Resistance
- Data Durability
This is more than just an art project – it's a celebration of digital freedom and the technology that protects it.
## Call for Artists
We're seeking talented artists from our community to help bring this vision to life. Whether you're a digital artist, illustrator, or designer, if you're passionate about privacy and digital rights, we want to collaborate with you!
## Artwork Guidelines
### Theme and Style
- Each piece should creatively interpret one or more of our core themes
- Art style is open but should maintain consistency across the collection
- Artwork can be abstract, representational, or a mix of both
- Consider incorporating elements that represent:

- Resistance to censorship (e.g., broken chains, birds in flight)
- Data durability (e.g., vaults, digital fortresses)
- Final artwork dimensions: maximum size of no larger than (4K) 3840x2160 pixels with 16:9 aspect ratio or 1:1 square format no larger than 3000x3000 pixels
