**What's Social Contracts?**
Social Contracts is a series of living artworks that trace their collectors’ collections and their shared connections to other collectors. By analyzing blockchain data, it creates interactive network maps and projects future acquisitions using the collection graph. Each piece in the series evolves with every change of ownership, unveiling intricate social patterns in the NFT art world.
**How it works?**
When minting a Social Contracts NFT, it traces your owned contracts, interconnected contracts, and the top accounts owning from your contracts. Your NFT graph reflects these connections and also projects your future acquisitions. 💫
**Drop Format:**
- Open edition mint for 5 days.
- Mint price 0.05 ETH (max 10 per wallet)
- Each NFT is unique, generated for the minting account, updated periodically, and evolving with each transfer of ownership.
Social Contracts website has more details about the project, featuring explanations, diagrams, related articles and podcasts, along with frequently asked questions.
