About
Every life leaves a mark
The collection
- 40,029 people who died before 1926, each exactly once.
- 39,093 are lives, minted at random for 0.39093 USDG. 4,093 of them are free, one per wallet.
- 936 are legends. They are never minted: forty lives of one civilization, laid to rest together, wake one of them.
- 93 civilizations in 16 groups, each group printed in its own historical pigment.
The records
- Every record is built from Wikidata (CC0): the person, their civilization and era, their fields of work, their ties to other people.
- Each record is pressed as a fingerprint. The prints are synthetic, drawn from those records. They are not real fingerprints.
