Postino enables anybody to create and collect digital stamps through the use of generative AI. The vast majority of digital collectibles are about collecting pieces from a single creator, but what is unique about Postino is that it makes it super easy for the average person to create something special. The only skill they need is to compose a prompt, which is no harder than doing a web search. The prompt can be long and complex or it can be a few simple words, but they all generate a unique postmarked stamp that looks good and is consistent across the collection.
Our hope for Postino is to bring back the fun to NFTs. It's meant to be low cost, easy to express what people love, and easy to capture something memetic. It is inherently a collaborative project by enabling anybody to create a Postino stamp, but we also envision it to be collaborative on many levels as the project develops like having guest artists design the postmark for the stamps. We hope Postino stamps are created, shared, collected, and most of all enjoyed by everybody in the community.
1/1/X - Every stamp is unique and they are minted on the ERC-7160 standard, which is an extension of ERC-721.
The cost to mint is a fee of 0.0024 ETH, so just a few dollars.
Each time you mint, you are allowed to do 10 more generations.
They are minted on the Shape L2 chain, which is part of the Optimism Superchain network and is an EVM compatible L2.
They are created in the UTC time zone.
There are two index counters for Postino. One is the "generation number", which is related to the total number of generations that have ever been done on Postino. Each generation that is done by anybody, increments the number. The generation number is shown in the title of the stamp. There is also the "token ID", which is related to mints. Each mint increments this number by one.
The service we use to generate the AI stamps has a content safety system and so we cannot generate images for prompts that contain words that iare not allowed by their safety rules.

We use the IP address of the request to geo locate where in the world it is coming from and only use the country name in generating the postmark for the stamp.
Initially, you can create, mint, and trade a Postino stamp. But because we are built on the Transient ERC-7160 contract, there is so much potential for the future. As the ecosystem grows, we will continue to innovate and add more fun to the Postino experience.
