# Getting Started

Like most things in crypto, the best way to get started with VIBES is to dive in, start exploring, and ask questions on [Discord](https://discord.gg/qDrsjcGR2F).&#x20;

Below is a semi-linear approach you can use if you are at the very start of your journey, or want a bit more of a guide on getting into things.

## Getting On-Chain

If you've never used a decentralized web3 application before:

* [Install MetaMask,](https://metamask.io/) a browser extension that lets you access the blockchain from web apps in your browser. Once installed, visit [sickvibes.xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz) and it will walk you through switching to Polygon.
* [Get some MATIC](https://matic.supply/). You will need a (very) small amount of MATIC to use the Polygon network. $1 USD worth of **MATIC** should be enough for 1000s of transactions.&#x20;

## Connecting to VIBES

Once you have your MetaMask wallet set up, you're ready to have a look around:

* [Visit sickvibes.xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz). The VIBES front page will feature a rotating assortment of for-sale VIBES NFTs you can buy
* [Check out your VIBES wallet](https://sickvibes.xyz/wallet). This will show you information about the VIBES in your wallet and owned VIBES NFTs.
* Read the [Community Overview](/protocol/community) to get an understanding of the VIBES ecosystem.
* Read [Mining VIBES](/protocol/mining-vibes) for information on how you can earn VIBES by collecting curated art.

## Get Involved

After poking around the VIBES site a bit, it's time to get more involved

* **Support VIBES artists by buying their art**. The [VIBES site](https://sickvibes.xyz) lets you browse art that's for sale by artist, curator, or collector. Supporting artists is the best way to get involved!
* [Mine VIBES over time from the art you've collected](/protocol/mining-vibes). Support artists, and shape the future of the network.
* [Join the VIBES Discord](https://discord.gg/qDrsjcGR2F) to share your art or discuss the project.


# ❓FAQ

Terse answers to most questions:

### What is VIBES?

VIBES is a decentralized digital art collective, [cryptonetwork](/protocol/vibes-token), and experimental community of artists, collectors, builders, and enthusiasts.&#x20;

We make cool art and ship dope products on the Polygon blockchain.&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MdnElOfbVcJ0EhnUFZn" %}
[Welcome to VIBES](/)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Where can I browse VIBES NFTs?

[Sick Vibes Dot XYZ](https://sickvibes.xyz) 🤙

### What is Polygon? How do I connect to VIBES?

Polygon (previously called Matic) is an Ethereum-aligned "sidechain". It has near-free transaction costs and a two-second block time that makes for a speedy and fun user experience.&#x20;

VIBES currently is deployed to the Polygon network. If you have [MetaMask installed](https://metamask.io/), the [sickvibes.xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz) site will walk you through what's needed to get connected.

### Why Polygon?

Polygon has nearly free transaction costs. This is crucial for reducing development and deployment hurdles and lowering user friction -- and we want to encourage experimentation and usage.&#x20;

It's also 100% EVM compatible (can deploy the [VIBES contract cluster](/resources/architecture) on Ethereum or any other EVM chain) and Ethereum-aligned (not attempting to compete with Ethereum).

### What is the VIBES roadmap?

There is no roadmap.&#x20;

🌈VIBES is an idea maze we are all exploring together.

[VIBES Phase 1](/resources/updates/phase-1)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### What is Infusion?

Any NFT can be *infused* with **VIBES**, effectively staking **VIBES** inside the NF&#x54;**.** Infused **VIBES** are mined over time and made claimable by the owner of the NFT.&#x20;

Infused **VIBES** stay within the NFT across sales or transfers if not claimed.

This is the low-level mechanism (referred to as "Provenance Mining") that enables interesting experiments within the VIBES collective.

### How Do I Infuse My NFTs?

Only VIBES Curators can infuse NFTs.&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MiqihP0RCSavc\_oS7oq" %}
[Curation](/protocol/curation)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### How Do I Become a VIBES Curator?

The initial 10 curators were selected by the VIBES multisig. Additional curators can be onboarded by existing curators (recursively).

**There are no standard guidelines, rules, requirements, or criteria for being a curator.** Each curator has full autonomy to use the protocol as they see fit, including how and why they add more curators.

### Do I Need to Be a Curator to Get My Art into VIBES?

No. Share your art on Twitter (and tag [@sickvibesxyz](https://twitter.com/sickvibesxyz)) or in the [VIBES Discord](https://discord.gg/qDrsjcGR2F), and a curator may reach out.

Each curator will have their own process and selection criteria, so take some time to understand how the community is operating and **respect the boundaries of the curators**.

### How Do I Get VIBES?

The best way to get **VIBES** is to support VIBES Artists and collect their NFTs that have been curated in the VIBES network. Curated NFTs mine **VIBES** over time that can be claimed by collectors.

### What is a SQNCR?

A SQNCR is a modular and customizable NFT-based digital project. It's an early-stage experiment from VIBES, but you can mint yours now!

{% content-ref url="/pages/-Mg8CXT1WHhSvJyCn40N" %}
[SQNCR](/protocol/sqncr)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### How does VIBES relate to Screensaver.World?

VIBES is closely aligned with [Screensaver.World](https://screensaver.world), but there is no official association. Currently all VIBES NFTs are minted on their platform.&#x20;

The VIBES functionality built on top of Screensaver NFTs was done so permissionlessly -- one of the advantages of the open nature of blockchain applications and a core tenant of VIBES:&#x20;

**Build first, ask for permission later**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Screensaver is dope... check out their [Discord](https://discord.gg/wGdTeU3kk4) for art drops, bidding wars, flash auctions, and more.
{% endhint %}

### How much are VIBES worth?

**VIBES** are worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for them. **VIBES** are worth the value of the tokenized representation of holding a VIBES NFT over time. **VIBES** are worth the equivalent amount of **MATIC** (or any other digital asset) that can be used to purchase bags on [QuickSwap](https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap?inputCurrency=ETH\&outputCurrency=0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb). **VIBES** are worth the perceived value of having control over the VIBES art collective and cryptonetwork.

{% hint style="info" %}
🤔 All of these answers are correct. The real question is: what are **VIBES** worth to you?
{% endhint %}

### How can I get the VIBES airdrop?

The **VIBES** airdrop program ran until July 12th, 2021 and is no longer active. All recipients of the initial airdrop are considered **Founding Members** of VIBES.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MeQiuT6guwuoJNkeORH" %}
[Treasury Allocations](/protocol/vibes-token/treasury-allocations)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Where can I buy VIBES NFTs?

Visit the VIBES homepage at [sickvibes.xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz) to see all VIBES art that is currently for sale.

### How do I claim mined VIBES?

If you own a **VIBES** NFT that has claimable **VIBES**, you can use the Claim UI from the Token Detail page to claim the VIBES from your wallet. This is a one way operation!

### How did you "hack" Screensaver World NFTs to mine VIBES?

That expression is a verbal abstraction -- a phrase that evokes the right understanding while being a lossy representation of the actual on-chain mechanisms that mediate the feature.

"I hacked my Screensaver World NFTs to continuously mine VIBES over time" is more accurately said as "I deployed a bookkeeping contract that references the Screensaver NFT contract and locks **VIBES** inside it that can be released via a time-lock mechanism".

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MdnwfFOerPq29fWHVxV" %}
[⚙️ Architecture](/resources/architecture)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### What is the VIBES Multisig?

The [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig) is an executive group that requires 3-of-5 consensus to transfer [treasury funds](/protocol/vibes-token/treasury-allocations) and control the [protocol smart contracts](/resources/architecture).

### Will VIBES make me rich? Should I sell my VIBES? Is VIBES a good investment?

**VIBES** is designed to be an experimental curation and utility token.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**VIBES** is not a currency, financial instrument, or security.&#x20;

The token and other contracts have not been audited by a third party.

No information on this website (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose. Furthermore, as **VIBES** represent an experimental abstract concept, nothing on this website qualifies or is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase shares, securities or other financial product.
{% endhint %}


# Community

At the heart of VIBES is a **decentralized curation network** made up of **Artists**, **Curators**, and **Collectors**. Each role is important in shaping the VIBES network, and most members will be some combination of all three.

Completely open minting platforms like OpenSea and Screensaver World are important to ensure nobody is excluded from creating NFTs and sharing their art, but discoverability can be a challenge.

Centralized curated platforms like Foundation can result in higher quality collections of art, but can be exclusionary and myopic, inheriting many of the problems around gatekeeping from the web2 world.

**VIBES approaches curation in a decentralized way,** empowering Curators with a substantial amount of freedom and choice to form the network as they see fit.

{% hint style="info" %}
**No single voice can shape the VIBES network.**&#x20;

🥳 We embrace a rich diversity of thought, art, and expression. VIBES celebrates the massive range of our community's creative output and style.
{% endhint %}

## 🎨 Artists

Make dope art, tell your story, and share your perspective with the world. All it takes to become an artist is to decide you want to be one... and then start creating 🚀.&#x20;

A VIBES Artist is any artist who has had their work curated into VIBES.

**A VIBES Artist may also be a VIBES Curator**. These *Artist-Curators* can use their curation powers to promote their own work and bring more attention to their projects.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**VIBES Artists form the soul of the network**.&#x20;

Their creative output and voice form the VIBES art collection.
{% endhint %}

## 🔥 Curators

Curators decide what art belongs in the VIBES collective. They have the ability to *infuse* any NFTs they own with **VIBES**, curating them into the network.

Curators can onboard additional curators by transferring some of their **Influence** to another address. This is done completely permissionlessly and ensures curator onboarding is truly decentralized.

Outside of the rules enforced on-chain within the protocol, Curators are free to use their curation powers however they please. **There are no standardized rules or guidelines around curation**.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MiqihP0RCSavc\_oS7oq" %}
[Curation](/protocol/curation)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**VIBES Curators have the powerful role of determine what belongs in VIBES.**

Each curator will have their own approach. Just as VIBES Artists are telling their own stories, VIBES Curators get to craft narratives of their own as they chose to elevate work from other artists (or themselves) into the network.
{% endhint %}

## 🌈 Collectors

Collectors buy and sell art. They may be looking for undervalued art they know they can flip, or are just wanting to support artists and build up a dope collection.

Collectors serve an important role of bringing both capital and art from outside of VIBES into the network.

**A VIBES Collector may also be a VIBES Curator**. These *Collector-Curators* can curate art from new artists and re-sell their NFTs on the secondary market, increasing liquidity and amplifying upcoming artists.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MiqilNYrjVfcj6cQ1qT" %}
[Mining VIBES](/protocol/mining-vibes)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**VIBES Collectors** are responsible for circulating art within the community.

Because VIBES NFTs mine **VIBES** over time, collectors can claim the mined VIBES and use them to curate NFTs of their own.

In this way, **those who support the current artists in the collective get a say in the future direction of VIBES**.
{% endhint %}


# Curation

Curators decide what art belongs in the VIBES collective. They have the ability to *infuse* any NFTs they own with **VIBES**, curating them into the network.

Infusion is a process that stakes **VIBES** inside of an NFT that can be mined and claimed over time by whoever owns it. This creates a circular token economy, where **VIBES** from curated art are mined by collectors that then get to shape the future direction of the curated network.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MiqilNYrjVfcj6cQ1qT" %}
[Mining VIBES](/protocol/mining-vibes)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Curators are onboarded via a decentralized peer-to-peer process**, ensuring that no central gatekeepers are responsible for deciding the curatorial direction of the collective.
{% endhint %}

## Infusion

Infusion is the low-level mechanism that enables curation. Only VIBES Curators with **Influence** can infuse NFTs. What NFTs a curator infuses (and how much they infuse) is entirely up to them, but there are a few on-chain constraints:

**An NFT can only be infused once**. After an NFT has been curated into VIBES, it is always a VIBES NFT, even if all of the **VIBES** inside of it have been mined and claimed. There is no way to "refill" an NFT once it has fully mined all **VIBES**.

**There are limits around daily rate and total amount infused**. Currently, the mining rate is locked to 1,000 **VIBES** / day, and total infused **VIBES** must be between 50,000 and 1,095,000 (50 days - 3 years). These parameters can be adjusted by the [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig) if needed.&#x20;

**An NFT must be owned by the person infusing it.** The intent is that the curator must have "control" of the NFT and intersect with its on-chain provenance in order to have the ability to curate it. This constraint can be disabled by the [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig) if needed.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
View the on-chain parameters around infusion constraints on the [Protocol Info](https://www.sickvibes.xyz/protocol) page under the Infusion Pool section.
{% endhint %}

## Influence

An address can have a certain amount of **Influence**, which is an on-chain value (but not a token). You can view your Influence on the [Wallet Page](https://sickvibes.xyz/wallet) on the VIBES site.

**Any address that has more than zero Influence is considered a VIBES Curator.**

Whenever a curator infuses an NFT to curate it into VIBES, their Influence is reduced by the same amount. This happens regardless of whether the **VIBES** come from their wallet or the curation grant pool.

In addition, a curator may transfer some or all of their Influence to another address, onboarding another curator. This decentralized and peer-to-peer onboarding approach ensures the VIBES network will foster a rich diversity of thought, taste, art, and voice.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can see all addresses that have been assigned Influence on [Curators List](https://sickvibes.xyz/curate/curators) page.
{% endhint %}

### Details

The total amount of assigned Influence is likely to exceed the amount of available **VIBES** that could actually be infused into NFTs; this is intentional.

Influence is not a token, it's mostly a way of **decentralizing the assignment and delegation of responsibility** in a crypto-native and dynamic way. Avoiding the use of a token here allows for more design flexibility in the protocol and provides a capital-independent assignment of network control.&#x20;

The [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig) can set or reset Influence for any address at anytime, though this will only occur occasionally and with community support (see [this Snapshot proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/sickvibes.eth/proposal/QmaAhfdC5zGkaQBzSjifgKpP623LvBq2KbJoa4rhrAcpFy)), or in the case of problems or abuse as a last resort.

{% hint style="info" %}
Generally, the **VIBES multisig will only perform the initial assignments of Influence to a handful of "primary curators"**, who can then onboard more curators in a decentralized way.
{% endhint %}


# Mining VIBES

NFTs that have been curated into the VIBES network have a finite amount of *infused* **VIBES** within them that are made claimable over time by the owner of the NFT.&#x20;

Claiming the **VIBES** will permanently transfer them from the NFT to the owner's wallet. Any unclaimed **VIBES** remain within the NFT, even across sales or transfers.

This process is known as "Provenance Mining".

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MeVD8ySl4s7zpnAhO5N" %}
[Provenance Mining](/protocol/mining-vibes/provenance-mining)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
By allow collectors to mine **VIBES** over time, those who support artists by buying their work will have the ability to [shape the direction of the curated network](/protocol/curation) in the future.
{% endhint %}

## Claiming VIBES

The owner of an NFT can claim some or all of the mined **VIBES** at any time from the Token Detail page on the VIBES site. The NFT will continue to mine **VIBES** if not all of the infused amount has been claimed. Unclaimed **VIBES** remain inside the NFT indefinitely until the owner decides to claim them.

A collector may choose NOT to claim the mined **VIBES** if they wish to re-sell the NFT in the future. An NFT with more **VIBES** remaining may sell for more than an NFT that has already had a claim by a previous owner.

Claimed **VIBES** can be used to curate art into the network.

# Provenance Mining

An in-depth look at the Provenance Mining concept and potential outcomes from the experiment

Provenance Mining is really a test in prod, but the hope is that exploring this concept will lead to interesting conclusions and discoveries.&#x20;

This is a more theoretical look at provenance mining, for more practical info see [Mining VIBES](/protocol/mining-vibes).

## Abstract

Provenance Mining is a mechanism that allows an NFT to mine tokens over time that the owner of the NFT can claim. VIBES has built this as a way of exploring potential use cases and ramifications of such a system:

* **A new approach to token distribution**, empowering artists to play the crucial role of deciding how network equity can be distributed to a group of people
* **A novel form of value instrumentation**, creating a crypto primitive that tokenizes that act of holding a non-fungible asset over time
* **A cyclical economic system** allowing collectors to capitalize on the provenance of owned NFTs before selling them at a lower price point, increasing accessibility to premium art
* **A socialized value mechanism** that allows a collective of artists to evenly distribute demand across artists with varying degrees of popularity and success
* **A solution to NFT illiquidity** where collectors can sell, trade, or pool the more flexible mined fungible tokens, even while retaining the original NFT

## Token Distribution

An artist can distribute or sell NFTs among their collectors, community, or fans. Each NFT acts a "portal" that continuously streams mined tokens that can be claimed by the NFT owner. This allows an artist to distribute network equity among people who are interested in the art or project in a very tangible way.

Infusing the NFT can only occur once, but it can occur much later than the token was minted. An artist could chose to infuse the distributed token only *after* the NFTs have been fairly distributed, "switching on" the provenance mining at a later time.&#x20;

The mining rate and total lifetime value of each token can be set, creating more valuable or important tokens, and allowing for a diversity of equity distribution options for the artist.

{% hint style="info" %}
The artist or collective responsible for infusing the NFTs plays the most crucial role in a provenance mining ecosystem: **how will capital and network equity be distributed?**
{% endhint %}

## Instrumentation of Value

Crypto, and specifically programmable blockchains, offer equitable and democratized access to powerful coordination technology. Provenance mining may be a new way of instrumenting (i.e. representing / tokenizing) the *value* of holding an artist's work over time in way that was not possible in the past.&#x20;

Traditionally, the only way to capture value has been with *money*, which is at best a lossy abstraction of value. With the composability of on-chain protocols and standards, we now have the ability to instrument all types of value that we couldn't before.&#x20;

Once you can effectively instrument something abstract like "the value associated with holding art over time", you can now "tether" it to other forms of value via markets and or other on-chain mechanisms.&#x20;

**This is important**, as it allows what would otherwise be an isolated, illiquid concept (tokenized representation of holding art over time) to be connected to other more liquid forms of value (currencies, other fungible assets).

{% hint style="info" %}
Provenance is not a *new form of value* -- but provenance mining is a new way of instrumenting something we couldn't before. This allows artists and collectors capitalize on this value in novel and potentially rewarding ways.
{% endhint %}

## Value Circulation

A collector could hold art for a while and thus mine a lot of tokens over time. The art would have intrinsic value as a piece of artwork minted by the artist, but its provenance is directly represented by the mined tokens inside of it.&#x20;

The collector could decide to claim all of the mined tokens, and then resell the art. This would allow the collector to capitalize on the value of holding art over time (by selling the claimed tokens), while reselling the art to another collector, potentially at a more accessible price point, since all mined tokens are claimed.

{% hint style="info" %}
This may create an interested *cycle of value* where collectors mine provenance over time, capitalize on that provenance, and then re-sell the NFT to somebody else to do the same thing.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Collective Value Socialization

If more than one artist is minting NFTs that provenance mine the same token, the token now represents the amalgam of value associated with holding that collection of artists' art over time. This can be a way of socializing the value (and thus potential revenue / demand) of art across a group of artists, potentially with varying degrees of existing demand or revenue-generating potential.

{% hint style="info" %}
This allows more successful artists in a collective to increase the demand for smaller or lesser known artists' work, since all of the art mines the same token.
{% endhint %}

## NFT Liquidity

NFTs can have liquidity challenges for smaller artists, and collectors run the risk of holding illiquid assets as market conditions fluctuate or trends shift.&#x20;

Fungible tokens are far more flexible and interoperable. Collectors always have the option of claiming the mined tokens in order to sell or further capitalize on the purchased art and established provenance, **even while retaining the original NFT**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Provenance mining turns the intrinsic value of art and holding it over time into a fungible and flexible digital asset that alleviates NFT illiquidity.
{% endhint %}


# VIBES Token

**VIBES** is not a currency nor representation of financial value. It is not a reserve-backed token. It is an experimental digital asset.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Like all tech, products, and programs in VIBES, this token is an experiment.&#x20;

**Proceed at your own risk.**
{% endhint %}

## Utility

Currently, the only utility of the **VIBES** token is curation. NFTs are curated into the VIBES network when they are infused with **VIBES**.

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MiqihP0RCSavc\_oS7oq" %}
[Curation](/protocol/curation)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Token Specification

**VIBES** is a standard ERC-20 token, which is a fungible token standard compatible with nearly every Ethereum/Polygon software and hardware wallet. The token parameters are as follows:

* **Token address**: `0xd269af9008C674B3814b4830771453D6a30616eb` ([polygonscan](https://polygonscan.com/token/0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb))
* **ERC-20 name:** VIBES
* **ERC-20 symbol**: VIBES
* **ERC-20 decimals**: 18

The token has no pausing functionality but there is an active minter role being held by the [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig). This may be revoked in the future.

Token holders may burn their tokens, which transfers to the zero-address and decreases the `totalSupply` reported by the token contract.

The token contract is verified on [polygonscan](https://polygonscan.com/token/0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb).

## Circulating Supply and Current Allocations

The initially minted supply for **VIBES** was 1,000,000,000 (1 billion).

Funds have been allocated and distributed incrementally with unallocated funds held by the [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig).

Total circulating supply is currently far less that the 1 billion minted (see the [Protocol Info](https://www.sickvibes.xyz/protocol) page on [sickvibes.xyz](https://www.sickvibes.xyz/))

# Treasury Allocations

The VIBES treasury is currently being allocated incrementally following the [initial minting](/protocol/vibes-token) of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) **VIBES** tokens.

It's possible in the future that total treasury allocations will be announced for the entire token supply, but during the initial phases of the protocol allocations will happen just-in-time.

{% hint style="info" %}
The treasury is managed by the [VIBES multisig](/protocol/governance#vibes-multisig).
{% endhint %}

## Circulating Supply <a href="#founders-airdrop-program" id="founders-airdrop-program"></a>

The total circulating supply is basically everything that is not locked away in the Gnosis safe. This number will increase over time if additional community stipend or curation grant proposals are passed.

As of September 2021, this is roughly 127 million **VIBES**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
See live protocol stats on the [Protocol Info page](https://www.sickvibes.xyz/protocol) on the VIBES site.
{% endhint %}

## Founders Airdrop <a href="#founders-airdrop-program" id="founders-airdrop-program"></a>

An initial **VIBES** airdrop ran roughly until July 12th 2021, which included the following recipients:‌

* Top 20 collectors on Screensaver v0 and v1 contracts
* All holders of **BVAL** or @bvalosek NFTs on Ethereum
* All collectors of @bvalosek Screensaver art
* All artists collected on Screensaver by @bvalosek
* Anybody showing genuine interest in the project during this time

The following amounts where airdropped:‌

* **10,000 VIBES** to all addresses on the airdrop list
* **10,000 VIBES** to the nine addresses that voted on the initial test proposal
* **10,000 VIBES** to anybody providing at least 5,000 VIBES worth of VIBES-MATIC liquidity on QuickSwap

The goal of this airdrop was to distribute network equity to small artists, collectors, and crypto enthusiasts in the space and experiment with a grassroots bootstrapping of market liquidity. Using large DeFi airdrop lists, targeting influencers and famous artists, or launching the protocol with liquidity mining on day 1 were all intentionally avoided to ensure opportunistic whales did not end up with large amounts of **VIBES**.‌

All recipients of the initial airdrop are considered **Founding Members** of VIBES.

{% hint style="info" %}
Roughly **1,350,000 VIBES** where distributed during this airdrop.‌
{% endhint %}

## Curation Grants <a href="#provenance-mining-grant-program" id="provenance-mining-grant-program"></a>

The primary distribution method of the **VIBES** token is [Provenance Mining](https://app.gitbook.com/@vibes/s/vibes/~/drafts/-MeQNBFuYjdCPojZ49Xr/vibes-protocol/provenance-mining), which is managed autonomously by locking VIBES from the treasury into the [VIBES Wellspring contract](https://app.gitbook.com/@vibes/s/vibes/~/drafts/-MeQNBFuYjdCPojZ49Xr/resources/architecture).‌

Curation grants allocate funds from the **VIBES** treasury to be infused into NFTs buy Curators.‌

# SQNCR

**SQNCR** is an early-stage VIBES experiment. It's the root node of an idea maze that explores the intersection of utility NFTs, collectibles, and the concept of having an **NFT serve as a crypto-native digital product**.

{% hint style="info" %}
🚧 The **SQNCR** program is just getting started -- it might not make a lot of sense quite yet.&#x20;

Want to build it with us? Hop in the [Discord](https://discord.gg/qDrsjcGR2F) and let's ship some cool stuff together.
{% endhint %}

## What is a SQNCR?

**🖼 It's an NFT.** Like all NFTs... somebody owns it, and it can be traded, sold, purchased, etc.

**🧪 It's an experiment.** It's currently at the very first stage of development and it's likely to be a bit unclear as to what exactly it is. *That's okay*. In fact, that's kinda the point.

**🛍 It's a digital product**. In the same way you own and use your mobile phone or other consumer device... your SQNCR is something you own and use to interact with things within the VIBES ecosystem.

🌈 **It's customizable**. SQNCRs run a "shell" that determines their appearance (in OpenSea, wallets, etc). Shells can be hot-swapped after minting to change how they look.

⚙️ **It's a modular platform**. Users could install "modules" in their SQNCRs that give them additional functionality and state. Modules stay within a SQNCR, even across trades and sales.

## How Do I Get One?

You mint it. Currently, it costs nothing to mint, but there is a limit of the number of SQNCRs that can be minted by a single address.

{% hint style="info" %}
Mint your SQNCR at <https://sickvibes.xyz/sqncr/mint>
{% endhint %}


# 🏛️ Governance

VIBES is a decentralized [cryptonetwork](/protocol/vibes-token) that is owned by the community.&#x20;

While VIBES is a token-coordinated protocol, **it was designed to be as governance-minimal as possible** and encourage more [decentralized coordination](/protocol/curation#influence) and [organization](/protocol/community) over monolithic "governance".

{% hint style="info" %}
🚀 You do not need anybody's approval to start building in VIBES.
{% endhint %}

## Process

VIBES is a process-minimal organization, but below is a rough outline of how we coordinate.

### Discord Discussion

Protocol governance starts with informal discussion on Discord. Have an idea? Want to see something changed? Float it in the chat and see what others think.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the [#⚙️-protocol channel](https://discord.gg/C5TFZVjSZ5) on Discord to discuss any ideas for changes or possible future proposals for VIBES.
{% endhint %}

### Off-chain Signaling

VIBES uses [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/sickvibes.eth) for off-chain signaling, which lets you securely vote by using your web3 wallet to cast a signed ballot.&#x20;

Off-chain signaling is great for gauging community consensus around how to use shared resources or signal support for a change in the protocol. Feel free to use Snapshot in more creative ways if you think it'd be helpful or fun.

Don't feel like a Snapshot proposal needs to be created for everything (we build first and ask for permission later), but it can be a great way to encourage community involvement and allow people to voice their opinion

{% hint style="info" %}
**Snapshot is just a tool**: since it's not on-chain it's not binding except at the "social layer".&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Organization

The organization of VIBES is intentionally very flat, simple, and non-prescriptive.

We are an early-phase protocol and are avoiding having explicit roles and favor open, permissionless contribution.&#x20;

### VIBES Multisig

The VIBES multisig members where chosen by @bvalosek in the initial phases of VIBES based on mutual trust, friendship, crypto fluency, and support of both the VIBES project and the [BVAL NFT project](/resources/updates/prologue) that started it.

The multisig is a social-layer coordination group, and a Gnosis Safe has been deployed to manage protocol assets and smart contract control in a way that requires **3-of-5 consensus** on all transfers or contract invokes.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The VIBES Multisig is controls a relatively small part of VIBES**.&#x20;

Multisig action is only required occasionally, and the community, protocol, and art collective can evolve and change without any need to involve the multisig.

**You do not need the approval of the multisig to start building in VIBES.**
{% endhint %}

The address of the multisig Gnosis Safe:

* `0x41925458151134A5324c9382915fc94C31Bce1B3` \[[polygonscan](https://polygonscan.com/address/0x41925458151134A5324c9382915fc94C31Bce1B3)]

The multisig is responsible for:

* Handling [VIBES Treasury](/protocol/vibes-token/treasury-allocations) funds
* Setting / resetting [Influence](/protocol/curation) for curators
* [Smart Contract](/resources/architecture) administration and protocol control
* [Snapshot Space](https://snapshot.org/#/sickvibes.eth) configuration
* [Discord](https://discord.gg/qDrsjcGR2F) administration

#### VIBES Multisig Members

Members can be identified in Discord via the **@VIBES multisig** role.

| Discord          | Address                                      |

{% endhint %}


# ⚖️ Markets

Crypto and programmable blockchains give us a powerful new coordination layer as a society and novel ways to instrument capital.&#x20;

[Provenance Mining](/protocol/mining-vibes/provenance-mining) explores the idea of using fungible tokens to instrument the value of holding art over time.

In order to connect this novel form of value instrumentation into something more liquid, and to ensure transformations of capital are possible, decentralized exchanges serve the important community role of establishing an open market for **VIBES**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
VIBES is still in the very early stages of protocol architecture and design. While buying and selling of **VIBES** is possible currently, liquidity is likely to be low and market price is volatile.\
\
**Do not treat VIBES as a financial investment** and be aware of the risks involved if you chose to supply liquidity to the market.

**There is no need to buy or sell VIBES at this time**. The best way to get **VIBES** is to support artists, buy their art, and [mine VIBES over time](/protocol/mining-vibes).
{% endhint %}

## QuickSwap

A VIBES-MATIC liquidity pool was setup on QuickSwap and initial liquidity was bootstrapped by the community.

You can use the QuickSwap protocol to buy or sell **VIBES** with any supported digital asset such as **DAI**, **USDC**, **MATIC**, or **wETH**.

{% hint style="info" %}
View the [VIBES-MATIC pair on QuickSwap](https://quickswap.exchange/#/swap?inputCurrency=ETH\&outputCurrency=0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb)
{% endhint %}

### Supplying Liquidity

By staking equal market values of **MATIC** and **VIBES** in the [QuickSwap](https://quickswap.exchange/#/add/0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb/ETH) AMM pool, you can become a Liquidity Provider for the VIBES-MATIC decentralized exchange. When you stake **MATIC** and **VIBES** in the pool, you get back **LP** tokens, representing your liquidity position.

Liquidity providers earn fees when trades occur on the exchange, proportional to their share of the pool. Fees will accrue over time (in both **VIBES** and **MATIC**) and are automatically claimed when you exit the pool by turning in your **LP** tokens in exchange for your underlying **VIBES** and **MATIC** liquidity (plus earned fees).

Being a liquidity provider can allow for passive earning, *but it's not without risk*. If the VIBES-MATIC market price changes substantially from when an LP entered the pool vs when they exited, their position will be worth less than if they had just held the individual assets. This is mathematical consequence of the market-making algorithm known as "impermanent loss".

## Disclaimer

{% hint style="danger" %}
**VIBES** is not a currency, financial instrument, or security.&#x20;

The token and other contracts have not been audited by a third party.

No information on this website (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose.

# Updates


# VIBES Prologue

Distribution

> 🐇 [The BVAL NFT Project](https://tokens.bvalosek.com/project) has expanded to Layer 2. We're further down the rabbit hole than ever now.
>
> 🌈 I hacked my [Screensaver.World](https://www.screensaver.world/created/0x303EeFeDeE1bA8e5d507a55465d946B2fea18583) NFTs to continuously generate VIBES inside of them as an intrinsically staked digital asset.
>
> 🎢 The owner of an NFT can unstake the VIBES to their wallet at any time, which is a one-way operation. Staked VIBES stay inside the NFT across transfers or sales.
>
> 💎 This captures the value of holding my art, and allows my collectors to capitalize on that value by unstaking the generated VIBES. I'm calling this mechanic ***Provenance Mining***.
>
> 🥳 This is just the first phase: Distribution. VIBES is an experimental asset, but it was designed with several utility use cases in mind.

Originally posted on [sickvibes.xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz) , June 2021 - @bvalosek


# VIBES Phase 1

Foundation - July 2021

We started with [Distribution](/resources/updates/prologue): getting **VIBES** to people interested in the project and active in the Polygon NFT space via the [Founders](/protocol/vibes-token#founders-airdrop-program) airdrop totaling more than 1.3 million **VIBES** across 100+ addresses.&#x20;

Currently 26 of the 30 million **VIBES** for the first [provenance mining grant program](/protocol/vibes-token#provenance-mining-grant-program) with @bvalosek's art have been locked in 26 1/1 Screensaver World NFTs.

### 🚀 What's next?

There is no roadmap for **VIBES**, this will never be a linear path. VIBES is an [idea maze](https://cdixon.org/2013/08/04/the-idea-maze): we're here to make dope art and ship cool stuff while exploring on-chain tech and coordination.

But even without a roadmap, it's important to have a sense of where we're going. The next phase of VIBES will be foundational as core parts of the [protocol thesis](/protocol/mining-vibes/provenance-mining) are tested and the initial paths of the idea maze are explored.

Proposals were passed to allocate another 30 million **VIBES** for provenance mining, and 3 million VIBES for community and builder stipends, and the site and [smart contract cluster](/resources/architecture) are in active development.

### 🔥 Keeping Up

If you're just getting caught up with what's going on on VIBES, the following steps are recommended:

* Poke around on [sick vibes dot xyz](https://sickvibes.xyz)
* Read these docs top to bottom, starting with [Welcome To VIBES](/)
* Read the [#🗣️-announcements channel](https://discord.gg/ruag8nsGpB) on Discord
* Watch the video from the [first community call](/resources/community-calls/2021-07-01-community-call) (or read the writeup)
* Ask questions on Discord
* Start [contributing](broken://pages/-MdnwIXLVPqKQt7d9HXC)

Y'all ready for Phase 1 of VIBES?

## The Maze

### 🎨 Artists

A [proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/sickvibes.eth/proposal/QmdwL7CMqaDjha3nJvm69HtHjUSH5Ma8ozhxm7YF4aYiRh) passed to allocate another 30 million **VIBES** to new artists in the form of [provenance mining](broken://pages/-Mdnu7W99SfCuxjlTlOh) grants.

* What happens when new [artists](broken://pages/-MdnvQ1Exxh0hFyYk2CK) are responsible for distributing large portions of network equity from the [VIBES treasury](/protocol/vibes-token#provenance-mining-grant-program) to their collectors?&#x20;
* How will artists use [VIBES Lab](broken://pages/-MeGDWQzJ3Awc4akGZYL) to (re)circulate **VIBES** inside of their NFTs in a fully permissionless way?
* Will collectors be incentivized to buy pieces injected with **VIBES**?
* Will artists approach the VIBES NFTs they make differently than their usual pieces?
* How will this round of artists explain VIBES to their collectors and followers?

### 💖 Community

A [proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/sickvibes.eth/proposal/QmdwL7CMqaDjha3nJvm69HtHjUSH5Ma8ozhxm7YF4aYiRh) passed to allocate 3 million **VIBES** for community programs to reward people who contribute to VIBES via stipends and bounty payouts.

* Will people be incentivized to [contribute](broken://pages/-MdnwIXLVPqKQt7d9HXC) in exchange for early network equity?
* Are [bounties](broken://pages/-MdnwYBod2KmOrR4lK40) a useful on-boarding mechanisms for new contributors?
* How will early VIBES NFT collectors use the **VIBES** mined inside of their NFTs?
* What type of emergent branding, memes, and culture can be bootstrapped via an early-phase cryptonetwork?
* How will YOU contribute to VIBES?

### ⚙️ Protocol

Several protocol additions are being developed right now to add to the on-chain [smart contract cluster](/resources/architecture) that is currently powering VIBES.

* Will [Governance Farming](broken://pages/-Mdnv2qUlIN5mAK_Q4bZ) incentivize market liquidity?&#x20;
* When should VIBES deploy its [Liquidity Mining](broken://pages/-MeCd6lwpvxxysT7VfbS) program?
* Should the rate and total-lifetime-value numbers used with [provenance mining](broken://pages/-Mdnu7W99SfCuxjlTlOh) be tweaked?
* How can we create open standards around NFT collections and artist-owned NFT contracts that allow for interoperable curation and discovery mechanics?
* What are the specific mechanics and actions that [VIBES Party](broken://pages/-MeGDLYMwL78aGjJweN8) will allow?

When we vibe together and record it...for vibes

## Community Call - 2021-07-01

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7pr5FmgNm8>" %}
First VIBES community call
{% endembed %}

Once upon a time, [Brandon](https://twitter.com/bvalosek) (the dude talking for most of this video) had launched his own [BVAL NFT project](https://tokens.bvalosek.com/) to learn about NFT smart contracts. He applied it at the intersection of his identity as a tech nerd and art butterfly. In doing so, a plethora of ideas to extend that base NFT smart contract standard to different utilities sprung forth in his mind. **Provenance mining** is one that took hold and is the basis of **VIBES**.

### Provenance Mining

{% hint style="info" %}
**Provenance Mining** - Mining a token over time as an intrinsic part of holding an NFT, thereby representing the value of its historical existence
{% endhint %}

![](/files/-Me3BwHSFnclRX8eQhhy)

*A brief example of \~le provenance mining\~*&#x20;

Both these NFTs have not had any VIBES unstaked from them. You can see that the amount of VIBES being mined reflects their provenance (the history/record of a thing). #180 was minted before #373 and you can see that #180 has minted more VIBES.

All NFTs are set to mine 1000 VIBES each day over 3 years which comes to about to $1M VIBES

### VIBES Utility

What can you do today with VIBES?

* [Go see all the NFTs](https://www.sickvibes.xyz/tokens) currently minting VIBES
* Bid and own NFTs minting VIBES on [Screensaver World](https://www.screensaver.world/created/0x303EeFeDeE1bA8e5d507a55465d946B2fea18583) (currently just Brandon's work)
* Trade NFTs containing VIBES
* Be a liquidity provider for VIBES on [Quickswap](https://quickswap.exchange/#/add/0xd269af9008c674b3814b4830771453d6a30616eb/ETH)

### Vibes on VIBES

VIBES is a project ran on L2 Polygon which means dirt-cheap gas fees! That's intentional in order to provide the VIBES community the ability to move and experiment at will.

* Experimenting with governance with different voting power distribution algorithms.
* Re-thinking value beyond "monetary value" e.g. having control over the network, making decisions about product and community direction
* Digital community sandbox
* Exploring and continuing to learn and expand DeFi, NFT, and governance concepts

Currently, there are around \~100 founding members of VIBES that received an initial airdrop of 10K VIBES.

#### A different way of bootstrapping liquidity

Many existing crypto projects that want to provide liquidity with their token will have an initial fundraising where a large amount of the tokens are distributed amongst liquidity providers that can provide mass liquidity to kickstart the project.

VIBES explores a more organic approach to bootstrapping liquidity via organically accruing it over time as a function of the NFT/art.

#### A permissionless and decentralized future

The future of VIBES is decentralization! This section is just a summary of what was discussed in the community call, but ultimately, the future of VIBES is dictated by the VIBES community.

Right now, permissions around the distribution and mechanisms of VIBES is centralized to Brandon (who, admittedly, is a cool dude, but still). In the near future, an intermediate step where a group of VIBES holders can collectively choose where to pool VIBES. And eventually after the community and VIBES mechanisms are ironed out and shaped up more, a permissionless and decentralized future where the community is self-sufficient and self-directed.

#### Enabling artists

The VIBES community can grow to have a very enriched internal and external art culture! Some features and ideas that came up during the community call are:

* Artists will be able to inject VIBES into their pieces!
* Using the [PartyDAO](https://party.mirror.xyz/) PartyBid system in the VIBES community for externally directed art voyages! As a collective, we can vote as a collective to support artists and add to a community-owned curated VIBES art collection.

### tl;dr

VIBES is an opportunity for learning and being creative at the intersection of NFTs, art, governance, DeFi, and building a crypto community. We can provide ourselves and others with an enriching community and culture where we're unafraid to explore, fail fast, and have tons of fun along the way. Who knows what the future will bring - but a foundation has been laid to re-think value, having a decentralized way of dictating the direction of community initiatives, and to create a bad-ass holographic unicorn vomiting rainbows type of art culture.


# ⚙️ Architecture

## Smart Contract Architecture

![](/files/-MisIHyUcAT-xq89gH8J)

* **VIBES Token** - The ERC-20 token contract for **VIBES**
* **VIBES Wellspring V1** - The original VIBES Wellspring contract that handles the bookkeeping associated with provenance mining. Read data is proxied through the Wellspring V2 contract now, but the original infused VIBES are still locked in this contract.
* **VIBES Wellspring V2** - Wellspring V2 improves on V1 by adding support for multiple NFT contracts, better on-chain enumerability, and multi-artist support. Locked tokens cannot be removed except by NFT owners via provenance mining
* **Token Lock Manager** **V1** - Simple lock/unlock switch for a given token ID with a time-release for unlocking. "Locking" a token just sets a flag on this contract, which can be checked by other contracts before allowing actions (such as claiming mined **VIBES**)
* **Token Lock Manager V2** - Same as V1, except it supports multiple NFT contracts
* **SQNCR** - Core ERC-721 for SQNCR. Controls minting and metadata management
* **SQNCR Shell v1** - Current metadata resolver for the SQNCR NFTs.
* **Vote Power Adapter** - Exposes the VIBES vote power for a given address. Maintains a list of strategy contracts that are summed together
* **Strategy Contracts** - Individual vote power strategies such as checking token balance, checking claimable **VIBES**, and checking pooled **VIBES** on QuickSwap.
