Roadmap

Phase 1 – The Genesis Giveaway

Before anyone knew what Trash Relics would become, before the first traces of the Archive reached the surface, 100 ancient relics were unearthed from the ruins.

The first 10 Genesis Relics were given freely to the earliest witnesses of the Archive, those present at the beginning, before the movement had fully formed.

The remaining 90 Early Archive Relics were released at a symbolic entry price of 0.003 ETH, not as a barrier, but as a mark of commitment to the first chapter of Trash Relics.

Together, these 100 relics form the opening fragment of the collection: the first evidence recovered, the first signal from the aftermath, and the beginning of a world built from what was left behind.

Each piece is crafted in the iconic distressed black-and-white ink style, marking the beginning of the Trash Relics archive and the first public chapter of a universe shaped by waste, collapse, and consequence.

Alongside their release, the first partnered environmental organizations will be revealed, anchoring the project’s mission to real-world purpose.

Goal: Awaken the community and ignite the Trash Relics movement.

Phase 2 – The Awakening

As the first relics circulate, a strange pulse of energy begins to rise within the collectors.

Whispers spread across the community; a new force is emerging: TrashCoin.

Collectors begin to sense that these relics carry something more than symbolism or forgotten memories; they carry power.

A reward system starts to form beneath the surface, constructed for those who believed early. The foundations of TRC solidify, hinting at a future where every relic will breathe life into the ecosystem.

Goal: Prepare the foundation for the TrashCoin economy and reward the earliest believers.

Phase 3 – The First Discovery

The earth cracks open once more. Buried beneath time and silence lie 1,000 new relics, waiting to be discovered.

Every mint becomes an excavation, all purchases a story reclaimed from the ruins.

Collectors encounter unseen rarities, hidden symbols, and fragments of the world’s forgotten mythology. They become the first true Guardians of the Relics, holding pieces of a universe beginning to awaken.

Goal: Launch the first official drop of 1,000 NFTs.

Phase 4 – Environmental Impact & The Collector Council

With the community awakened, the movement turns outward.

The Trash Relics Council is formed, a group of dedicated collectors guiding the project's direction, responsible for shaping future phases, events, and world-building.

The art that rose from waste will now help heal the Earth that inspired it.

Eight percent of all proceeds are allocated to environmental organizations chosen by the council and community. Two percent are dedicated to the creator and the preservation of the project.

Once the first 1,000 relics are fully collected, the Poisonous Release begins a rare event where select NFTs will gain animated distortions, subtle movements, and living ink qualities, revealing corrupted evolutions within the universe.

Goal: Transform digital art into real environmental impact and deepen mythology through dynamic evolution.

Phase 5 – The Expansion

The Trash Relics world fully awakens.

The remaining 4,000 relics emerge in staggered waves, each phase revealing deeper layers of lore, cosmic symbolism, and new hierarchies hidden beneath the ruins.

As the collection reaches its final form: 5,000 relics, the TrashCoin system becomes complete. Monthly TRC rewards begin flowing to all collectors based on rarity, traits, and place within the Divine Hierarchy.

Collectors will finally gain access to the official Rarity Chart, unveiling the full mathematical and mythological structure that governs the universe of decay and rebirth.

Goal: Complete the 5,000-piece collection and solidify the Trash Relics ecosystem for the long term.

Mission Statement

Trash Relics transforms environmental awareness into art.

Each relic is more than an NFT; it is a symbol of renewal, a fragment of hope, a reminder of a world that once existed and a world that could exist again.

Forged from decay, shaped by forgotten memories, and reborn through ink, each Trash Relic serves as a relic of warning and a beacon of restoration.
