As stated in previous posts, an initial supply of 64 sarape original tokens (SARP) is reserved for claiming only by owners of Colorverse RGB color tokens (claiming means no minting fee, only gas costs; restricted to one token per address).

One of the requirements to claim a sarape is to be the owner of at least one color in the colorverse. We have introduced a new feature on sarape.io, especially for color owners: a personal palette, showing only your owned colors. After connecting your wallet, your palette will be automatically loaded and ready for your to start trying your colors.

Every time you select a new color by clicking on a color box from your palette, the sarape preview is automatically updated!

But, there are actually 16,777,216 colors to choose from. You can select any 24-bit color, using the two main color pickers on top of your palette, and the sarape preview will be updated automatically. If you find the right color combination for your sarape in this way, you can always check if the colors are still available in the colorverse (or even try to acquire them in the secondary marketplace).

Only 256 sarapes will ever be minted in the sarape original NFT collection, generated 100% on-chain. Each sarape is a 1/1, featuring a unique color pair chosen at minting. By selecting the color seed, every minter is an author in this series.

Mint price changes with token supply. The first 64 tokens are reserved for claiming.

Once all 64 tokens in the initial supply are claimed, the mint price will change as shown in the chart above. At this point, there will be no requirement to own the colors in order to mint, but the selected color pair still needs to be unique. Any address will be able to mint for the current price (even those addresses that have claimed a token) and there will be no limit to the number of sarapes an address can mint, as long as there are tokens available.

Name your colors!

When a sarape token is minted, it is named according to its color pair. For example, if the colors chosen for minting are #ff2010 and #1020ff, the token name will be "ff2010.1020ff".

Claimed sarape tokens have a special trait, since they are minted using colorverse RGB tokens as primitive meta-NFTs: If the RGB token has been named in the colorverse by the token holder, the sarape token name will be made of the color names, instead of the color hex codes. For example, if the color pair used for minting is #ff0000 and #0000ff, and these colors have been named in the colorverse "I love red" and "beyond blue", respectively, then the sarape token name will be "I love red, beyond blue" instead of "ff0000.0000ff".

Name your colors and decide the title of your sarape original.

A hypothetical example: The owner of colors #ea3eb3 and #06c663 could name the colors “Dragon fruit is pink” and “green and furious”, respectively, then use these colors to mint a sarape with the title “Dragon fruit is pink, green and furious”.
