TO BEARD OR NOT TO BEARD: Mintotaur Holders Can Now Style Their Mythical Manes!

To beard or not to beard. That is the question in Grimhold this evening.

After the last of the 3,333 Mintotaurs came down the mountain and were minted on Blever this morning, the project's founder James Hall highlighted the creatures' beard metadata features that are literally growing on each and every one of these mighty beasts!

“The website is live. https://mintotaurs.xyz,” Hall tweeted from behind the Mintotaurs account. “On looking at the gallery, if you click on a minto, you will see a beard status as well as a preview dropdown to view what different states of your beard will look.PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE GROWTH RATE This is how long it takes to go from one stage to another. 1wk per length, you clean shave it will take 3 weeks to get to a full length beard. if you have 2wk/length, it will take 6. 3 takes NINE WEEKS to grow back. this cannot be undone, so be mindful if you want to do it.”

 

 

Every Mintotaur was minted with a long beard, and holders now have the option to give their beast a clean shave, leave a little stubble, trim it short, or leave it long and majestic!

 

Each Mintotaur’s beard is made up of four metadata traits: Length, which affects the NFT’s visual appearance. Growth rate, which determines how long it takes for the beard to regrow. Last shaved, which logs when the creature last got cleaned up. Status, which indicates if the beard is growing or if the holder has decided to maintain the mane.

 

Since Hall’s post, Mintotaur holders have taken to the timeline to show off their freshly shaved or stubbled  mythical beasts.
