Inklings

Cartoon squid PFPs

Marketplace

Launch on OpenSea, Ink.

Inklings ships as layered ink-wash APNG traits and as flattened GIF tokens. OpenSea wants the GIF bake of those loops. The APNG stack stays in this repo for the studio and any later restack.

Project description

Paste this into OpenSea.

Collection name Inklings. Symbol INKL. Category PFPs. The same copy lives in public/metadata/inklings-description.txt.

Inklings are painted cartoon squids, not pixel art.

A 5,555-piece collection of looping ink-wash squid PFPs on Ink, Kraken’s Ethereum layer 2. Each Inkling is stacked from six painterly layers — paper, bloom, visage, gaze, mark, and adorn — then flattened onto one 16-frame GIF. Dye drifts. Eyes blink. Tentacles sway. Soft edges only.

Minting on Ink (chain ID 57073). Gas is ETH.

Listing kit

Logo, featured, banner, collection GIF.

OpenSea wants a square logo, a 3:2 featured image, and a wide 4:1 banner — three different pictures, no type on the marketplace images. The site hero can reuse the taller banner.

  1. 1

    Traits stay layered. The drop is flattened.

    OpenSea does not stack APNG layers for you. Studio is a live compositor. For a Drop you upload finished GIFs plus a CSV. Run the generator to bake each token onto the shared 16-frame clock, then gif_bake.py to make the marketplace loops.

  2. 2

    Create a Drop on Ink

    In OpenSea Studio, create a Drop on Ink (chain ID 57073). Set supply to 5,555, paste the project description, and upload the listing kit from public/brand.

  3. 3

    Bulk-upload GIFs + CSV

    Upload every file in generated/inklings/gifs (1.gif–5555.gif) and generated/inklings/INKLINGS-opensea-drop.csv. The CSV already uses OpenSea’s required headers (tokenID, name, description, file_name, attributes[Trait]). OpenSea plays GIF, not APNG. Preview the loops, then publish.

  4. 4

    Or deploy the ERC-721 yourself

    contracts/Inklings.sol mints token IDs 1–5,555. Pin generated/inklings/json and set the base URI. Import that contract on OpenSea instead of using a Drop if you want a custom mint.

Drop upload notes: Preparing metadata for your drop. Live collection: opensea.io/collection/inklings-on-ink. OpenSea on Ink: supported chains.
