Shrines of the Moon is a deflationary art collection by three printmakers and a generative artist working out of Glasgow, Lisbon and Kyoto. Each piece is rendered at 4096×4096, backed by a physical 50×50cm screen-print shipped to holders, and minted on Base with a 2.5% creator royalty split equally between all four artists. No roadmap promises. Just art.

Every shrine,
a hand-drawn plate.
Each of the 2,048 moons was rendered by hand on paper before being scanned, color-separated into seven layers, and composited into final 4096px PNGs. We kept traits honest: rarity emerges from the drawing, not a random trait-slot machine.

◇ HONEST ROADMAP · FIVE STEPS
What we'll do,
when we'll do it.
Most project roadmaps promise a metaverse, a video game, and a Lamborghini raffle. We promise prints, exhibitions, and a second drop. If we miss a date, we'll say so on the day it happens.

◇ COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you'd
want to ask.
Why Base instead of Ethereum mainnet?
Gas on Base is roughly $0.14 per mint instead of $30–$80 on Ethereum mainnet. We wanted anyone with $150 for the art to be able to mint, not anyone with $150 plus $80 in gas. Base is an Ethereum L2 by Coinbase, secured by Ethereum, fully EVM-compatible.
Do I actually get a physical print?
Yes. Every minted moon ships with a 50×50cm archival screen-print on Somerset Velvet 300gsm paper, signed by two of the four artists, in a protective tube. Shipped worldwide from Glasgow within 6 weeks of mint via DHL Express with tracking.
What's the creator royalty?
2.5% on secondary sales, hard-coded into the ERC-721A contract. Split equally four ways between Rhona, Tomás, Akiko and Kirsty. No publisher fee, no hidden wallet. Payouts are claimable from the contract every full moon.
Is the metadata really permanent?
Yes. Images and JSON metadata are stored on Arweave, not IPFS — paid once at mint, stored forever. We never keep private keys to the metadata contract; it's frozen. Your moon will render in 100 years.
How do I get on the allowlist?
1,428 spots are already allocated: 840 to past collectors of any of the four artists' work, 288 to the Shrines discord at launch, 300 to print buyers from Kirsty Mhor's Dennistoun Prints archive. No new spots. Public mint opens Apr 19 2026 if supply remains.
What if I lose my wallet?
The moon is linked to the wallet address, not to you. If you lose your keys, we cannot help you recover the NFT — nobody can. We recommend a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) and a written backup of your seed phrase, kept in two separate physical locations.
