The Rap Sheet

Nine lives. Zero remorse.

They were dumped, kicked, and counted out nine times each — then they organised.

Nobody remembers which back alley the first one crawled out of. Only that the rain stopped, the lamps flickered, and every stray in the district started wearing gold.

Today the Mob runs every grate, every dumpster, every neon-soaked rooftop on the chain. Dons in pinstripes. Butchers with cleavers still wet. Pirates, preachers, junkies and jesters — all of them grinning at a camera they know they can break.

And the crews kept growing. A rap crew that owns the night and the sound. A metal crew that owns the pit. A ballroom house that owns the room — feathers, sequins, rainbows, unabashed. Traders who launder in candles and green screens, collectors who hoard pictures of cats and will tell you about it at length. And a cinema wing of cats dressed as the leads of the pictures you grew up on — the trench coat, the white suit, the fedora, the tux, the cowl. Every one of them still a gangster first.

369 strays were booked. Six escaped processing. The rest have rap sheets so long they're minted as metadata. Every cat is drawn by hand, one pixel at a time, on a 256×256 grid: no smoothing, no upscaling tricks, no AI gloss. Pinstripe by pinstripe.

369 strays. One mob.

Questions

Before you book one

Is this real pixel art or an AI filter?

Each portrait is composed as pixel art: a 256×256 true pixel grid, an 80-colour flat palette, hard nearest-neighbour edges, zero anti-aliasing and zero soft gradients. The repeatable pipeline is documented in scripts/finalize_art.py so every new stray lands on the same grid.

Will two strays ever look the same?

No. Each of the 369 pieces is generated individually — different cat species, pose framing, costume, prop, palette and setting. The metadata generator also rejects any duplicate trait combination.

Why 369?

Nine lives each, held across forty-one crews — nine times forty-one, and the mob has never lost the arithmetic. Every stray gets nine lives. The bookmaker already knows where they are kept.

Where are the metadata and rarity files?

The repo ships metadata/0001.json … 0369.json in Metaplex standard, plus rarity/rarity.csv, rarity/rarity.json and rarity/traits_summary.json. Upload the images and metadata to Arweave through SolOnChain, then paste the resulting CID into config/collection.json.

Which pose do all the cats use?

Strict three-quarter view: head turned slightly away from the camera, never dead-on and never a flat side profile. It keeps the collection readable as a PFP grid while every cat still faces the same way.
