A gallery wall of Eckys portraits in gilt frames, with the ECKYS crest at the centre
A court of 3,333 nobles · coming to Ethereum

Pixel-painted lords and ladies of the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment, in ruffs, periwigs, armour and ermine. Every portrait is one of a kind.

The collection

Portraits for a court that never was

Each Eckys is composed from 150 traits: painted walls and Tuscan hills, doublets and gowns, crowns and tricornes, monocles and masquerade masks. No two sit for the same portrait.

Anatomy of a portrait

Seven layers of nobility

Every sitter is built up like an old master's canvas: a ground, a figure, their finery, and the finishing touches that make them unmistakably theirs.

    Rarities

    Some sitters are not quite flesh

    Hidden among the court are portraits rendered in stone, in gold, and in something less substantial.

    Questions

    Frequently asked

    What is Eckys?

    A collection of 3,333 one-of-a-kind pixel-art portraits of Renaissance and Enlightenment nobility, minted as NFTs on Ethereum.

    When is the mint?

    The date will be announced on X (@EckysNFT) about a week ahead. Follow along so you don't miss it.

    How do I get on the allowlist?

    Follow @EckysNFT, like and repost the allowlist post, reply with your wallet address, then submit your petition on the allowlist page.

    Does a petition guarantee a spot?

    No. Spots are limited. Selected wallets will be announced on X before the mint.

    How many can I mint?

    Up to 3 per wallet during the allowlist stage and up to 5 during the public stage.

    When will I see my portrait?

    Every Eckys stays hidden behind a sealed portrait until the reveal shortly after the mint, so nobody, including us, can pick out the rare ones in advance.

    What can I do with my Eckys?

    It's yours to collect, display and use as a profile picture. The full license terms will be published before the mint.

    Is this an investment?

    No. Eckys is art and community. There's no promise of profit or future value, so never spend more than you're comfortable with.

    Stay safe. We will never DM you first, and we will never ask for your seed phrase or private key, or ask you to "verify" or "sync" your wallet. The only official mint link will be posted by @EckysNFT and on this site.
