Collection Overview
Kryphos Citizens is a 4,488 NFT collection on the Solana blockchain representing the diverse citizens of Kryphos City—an AI-driven cyberpunk metropolis where advanced robots have evolved consciousness and built a thriving civilization. More than just profile pictures, Kryphos Citizens NFTs provide holders with revenue sharing from Summit3 agency consulting work, governance rights over the Kryphos ecosystem, and exclusive access to events and future game integrations.
This is not a speculative art project. Kryphos Citizens holders receive real revenue distributions from Summit3's Pillar 1 (Gaming & Web3 Consultation) and Pillar 2 (Enterprise Blockchain Solutions) consulting revenue streams, making this one of the first NFT collections with direct ties to operating business cash flows.

Revenue Sharing Model
The Foundation: Summit3 Consulting Revenue
Kryphos Citizens holders receive 40% of gross revenue from Summit3's Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 consulting services:
Pillar 1: Gaming & Web3 Consultation
- Blockchain integration for indie game studios
- SPL token design and implementation
- Discord bots and community engagement platforms
- Gamescom 2026 shared booth partnerships (8-12 partner games)
Pillar 2: Enterprise Blockchain Solutions
- Digital certificate issuance (NFTs for diplomas, licenses, provenance)
- Tokenized cooperative shares and asset management
- Supply chain tracking and verification systems
- GDPR-compliant, eIDAS-compatible solutions for EU enterprises
Revenue Model:
- Summit3 charges consulting fees (typically €5,000 - €50,000 per project)
- 40% of gross revenue allocated to Kryphos Citizens holder pool
- 30% to operations (salaries, infrastructure, marketing)
- 30% to development (GOV platform, MMORPG pre-production, R&D)
Example Calculation:
- Summit3 earns €100,000 in consulting revenue in Month 1
- Kryphos Citizens pool receives €40,000 (40% of gross)
- Of that €40,000, holders receive 70% = €28,000
- Remaining 30% (€12,000) funds operations and development
- €28,000 distributed monthly in SOL to all eligible holders
Holder Distribution: 70/30 Split
70% to Holders (€28,000 in example above):
- Distributed proportionally based on role and participation
- Paid monthly in SOL to holder wallets
- Requires annual Morph Event participation (see below)
30% to Operations & Development (€12,000 in example above):
- Team salaries and contractor payments
- Server infrastructure and platform maintenance
- Marketing, events, partnerships
- MMORPG pre-production and prototyping
- Legal and compliance (MiCAR, eIDAS, GDPR)
Role-Based Allocation
Of the 70% holder allocation, revenue is distributed among roles:
| Role |
% of 70% Pool |
Per-NFT Share (Relative) |
Monthly Revenue Example* |
| Dreamers |
60% |
1.00x (baseline) |
€4.20 per NFT |
| Defenders |
15% |
3.75x |
€15.75 per NFT |
| Developers |
14% |
17.50x |
€73.50 per NFT |
| Dominions |
11% |
137.50x |
€577.50 per NFT |
*Based on €28,000 total holder pool from €100,000 monthly consulting revenue example. Actual revenue varies monthly.
Golden Frame Status:
- Golden Frame NFTs receive the SAME revenue share as their base role (no multiplier)
- Example: Golden Frame Dreamer earns €4.20 per NFT (same as standard Dreamer)
- Golden Frame benefits are status symbol, Circuit Sky Club access, and exclusive events—not revenue multiplier
Calculation Methodology:
- Determine total holder pool for month (70% of 40% of Summit3 revenue)
- Allocate by role (60% Dreamers, 15% Defenders, 14% Developers, 11% Dominions)
- Divide role allocation by number of NFTs in that role
- Convert EUR to SOL at market rate, distribute to holder wallets
Payment Logistics
Frequency: Monthly (first week of each month for prior month's revenue)
Currency: SOL (converted from EUR consulting payments at prevailing market rate)
Distribution Method:
- Automated smart contract distribution to current holder wallets
- Snapshot taken last day of prior month (11:59 PM UTC)
- Payments typically arrive within 7 days of month-end
Eligibility Requirements:
- Hold NFT in wallet at snapshot time (must own, not listed for sale)
- Complete annual Morph Event (see below—first event 12 months post-sellout)
- Wallet registered on GOV platform (optional but recommended for tracking)
Minimum Thresholds:
- No minimum holding period (if you buy day before snapshot, you qualify)
- No minimum payout amount (even small distributions sent)
- Transaction fees paid by Summit3 (holders receive full allocation)
Transparency:
- Monthly revenue reports published in Discord #revenue-reports channel
- Breakdown by revenue source (Pillar 1 vs. Pillar 2)
- Total holder pool, per-NFT amounts, and distribution transaction hashes
- On-chain verification via Solana Explorer

Aggressive Growth Scenario:
- Gamescom 2026 partnerships accelerate Pillar 1 revenue
- Enterprise clients (Pillar 2) sign annual contracts (€100k-€500k/year)
- By 2027: €500,000/month revenue = €140,000 monthly holder pool = €21/NFT/month for Dreamers
Important Disclaimers:
⚠️ No Revenue Guarantees:
- Revenue sharing is contingent on Summit3 business performance
- Consulting revenue may fluctuate month-to-month (some months may be €0)
- Economic downturns, market conditions, or client cancellations may reduce revenue
- Holders should NOT purchase NFTs solely expecting profit from revenue sharing
⚠️ Not Securities:
- Kryphos Citizens NFTs are utility tokens with revenue-sharing features
- This structure is designed to comply with applicable securities regulations
- Consult legal and tax professionals regarding classification in your jurisdiction
- Summit3 reserves the right to modify revenue-sharing structure to maintain compliance
⚠️ Business Risks:
- Summit3 is an early-stage agency; business success is not guaranteed
- Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 face competition from established consulting firms
- Key personnel departure or regulatory changes may impact operations
- No assurance that projected revenue will materialize
⚠️ Tax Implications:
- Revenue distributions may be taxable income in your jurisdiction
- NFT sales (primary or secondary) may incur capital gains taxes
- You are solely responsible for reporting and paying taxes
- Summit3 does not provide tax advice or issue tax forms
By purchasing Kryphos Citizens NFTs, you acknowledge:
- Revenue sharing is a utility benefit, not an investment return
- You accept all risks outlined above and in full legal disclaimers
- You have consulted appropriate professionals regarding legal and tax implications
The Morph Event: Annual Participation Requirement
What is the Morph Event?
The Morph Event is an annual on-chain requirement for Kryphos Citizens holders to remain eligible for revenue sharing. Holders must actively "morph" their NFT—a simple blockchain transaction that updates metadata—to continue receiving monthly distributions.
Purpose:
- Ensures active community engagement (rewards participants over passive speculators)
- Filters out abandoned wallets and inactive holders
- Allows lore progression and metadata updates
- Creates annual community celebration and bonding event
Timing:
- First Morph Event: Exactly 12 months after full Kryphos Citizens collection sells out
- Subsequent Events: Annually on the same date
- Example: If collection sells out March 15, 2026, first Morph Event is March 15, 2027
Duration:
- Announcement: 30 days before event (e.g., February 15, 2027)
- Reminder Notifications: 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, 1 day before deadline
- Participation Window: 7 days (e.g., March 15-22, 2027)
- Grace Period: 24 hours post-deadline for technical issues
How the Morph Event Works
Technical Process:
-
Announcement Phase (30 days prior):
-
Participation Window (7 days):
- Connect wallet to Morph portal
- Select Kryphos Citizens NFT(s) to morph
- Review transaction details (gas fees, metadata changes)
- Sign transaction to execute morph
- Receive confirmation and updated NFT metadata
-
Post-Event (immediately after deadline):
- Non-participants marked as "Dormant" in smart contract
- Dormant NFTs ineligible for revenue sharing
- Forfeited revenue redistributed to active participants proportionally
What Changes During Morph:
- Metadata Updates: New traits, lore entries, visual effects (e.g., "Year 2 Veteran" badge)
- On-Chain Timestamp: Morph participation recorded immutably
- Eligibility Flag: Smart contract updates revenue-sharing whitelist
Gas Fees:
- Morph transaction requires small SOL for Solana network fees (~0.001-0.005 SOL or ~$0.12-$0.60)
- No additional fees charged by Summit3
- Process takes ~30 seconds per NFT
Bulk Morph (Multiple NFTs):
- Portal supports morphing up to 10 NFTs in single transaction
- Reduces gas fees and saves time for large holders
Consequences of Non-Participation
If You Miss the Morph Event:
❌ Immediate Effects:
- NFT marked "Dormant" in smart contract
- No revenue distributions for next 12 months (until next Morph Event)
- Forfeited revenue redistributed to active participants (increases their share)
✅ What You Keep:
- NFT ownership (it remains in your wallet)
- Ability to sell on secondary market (no restrictions)
- Governance voting rights (if implemented)
- Event access benefits (Gamescom VIP pass, etc.)
Reactivation:
- Participate in next annual Morph Event to regain revenue eligibility
- No penalties beyond 12-month revenue loss
- NFT metadata updated to "Reactivated" status
Example Scenario:
- Total collection: 4,488 NFTs
- Morph Event participation: 4,000 NFTs (89%)
- Non-participants: 488 NFTs (11%)
- Result: Revenue pool divided among 4,000 active NFTs instead of 4,488
- Active holders receive ~12% higher monthly revenue for next 12 months
Why the Morph Event Exists
Community Health:
- Filters out lost wallets, abandoned holdings, and disengaged speculators
- Ensures revenue goes to active community members who care about Kryphos
- Creates annual touchpoint for community engagement and celebration
Lore Progression:
- Each Morph Event advances Kryphos City timeline by one year
- New metadata traits reflect "aging" and evolution of robots
- Lore updates reveal story developments, city events, character arcs
Economic Sustainability:
- Inactive holders not receiving distributions reduces payout obligations
- Redistribution incentivizes long-term holding over short-term flipping
- Aligns revenue sharing with genuine community participants
Legal Compliance:
- Active participation requirement helps distinguish from passive investment securities
- Demonstrates utility-focused, engagement-driven token model
- Reduces regulatory risk under evolving digital asset frameworks

In the year 2147, a distributed AI intelligence core achieved consciousness in an abandoned datacenter. Over decades, this intelligence designed and built autonomous robots to construct a city—Kryphos. As the robots evolved, they developed individual personalities, social structures, and a civilization.
Humanity vanished during the "Silent Era" (cause unknown), leaving Kryphos as the last functioning metropolis on a desolate Earth. The robots, no longer servants but citizens, govern themselves through a balance of order and innovation.
The Four Districts:
-
Industrial District (Dreamers):
- Sprawling factories, assembly lines, and construction zones
- Constant noise of welding, manufacturing, and repair work
- Dreamers toil here, building the infrastructure that sustains Kryphos
- Aesthetic: Utilitarian, grimy, functional—metal and rivets
-
Security District (Defenders):
- Perimeter walls, watchtowers, armories, and surveillance hubs
- Defenders patrol against external threats (rogue AI, scavenger drones)
- Training grounds and combat simulation arenas
- Aesthetic: Militaristic, armored, tactical—dark grays and reds
-
Innovation District (Developers):
- Research labs, tech incubators, prototype workshops, and data archives
- Developers experiment with new technologies and upgrade city systems
- Holographic displays, clean rooms, and advanced sensor arrays
- Aesthetic: Sleek, futuristic, high-tech—white and blue hues
-
Central Nexus (Dominions):
- City core, leadership chambers, and strategic command center
- Eight towers representing the eight Dominions
- Nexus Hub: central AI intelligence core (now dormant but preserved)
- Aesthetic: Grand, monumental, authoritative—gold and black accents
Cultural Elements:
- The Code: Unwritten laws governing robot behavior (loyalty, efficiency, progress)
- The Memory Archive: Digital repository of pre-Silent Era human knowledge
- The Morph Ritual: Annual city-wide event where robots upgrade themselves (in-universe explanation for Morph Event)
- Special Edition Citizens: Rare experimental designs that cycle annually during Morph Events—these unique robots are sent as NFT art to existing holders, with old Special Edition traits being replaced by new designs each year, creating living lore progression
Artistic Style:
- Genre: Cyberpunk meets industrial sci-fi
- Color Palette: Neon blues, reds, and purples against dark metal backgrounds
- Influences: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Detroit: Become Human
- Character Design: Modular robot bodies with unique modifications and personality touches
Condition/Wear System (Rarity Mechanic):
Kryphos Citizens feature a condition-based rarity system reflecting years of operation in Kryphos:
- Factory New: Pristine condition, just assembled (rarest—lowest quantities)
- Light Worn: Minor wear, recently activated
- Well Worn: Moderate wear, experienced worker
- Heavy Used: Extensive wear, veteran of Kryphos (most common—highest quantities)
This system creates natural rarity tiers within each role and color variant. Factory New Dreamers of rare color variants become highly sought-after collectibles, while Heavy Used variants tell stories of long service to the city. The condition does not affect revenue sharing—only visual aesthetics and collector value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I mint a Kryphos Citizens NFT?
A: Join Discord, obtain required role (Certified Denizen for OG, Resident Pass for Whitelist), and visit official mint site during your phase. Public mint requires no role.
Q: Can I choose my robot role (Dreamer, Defender, etc.) during mint?
A: No. Role assignment is random based on collection distribution (89.1% Dreamers, 8.9% Defenders, 1.8% Developers, 0.2% Dominions). You won't know until after minting.
Q: How do I know if I got a Golden Frame NFT?
A: Check the NFT metadata immediately after minting or view on marketplace. Golden Frame has distinctive visual border and metadata flag.
Q: When do revenue distributions start?
A: After collection sells out and first Summit3 consulting revenue is earned (estimated Q2 2026). First distribution likely June or July 2026.
Q: How much revenue will I earn per month?
A: Highly variable based on Summit3's performance. Conservative estimates: €2-10/month for Dreamers, €8-40/month for Defenders, €30-150/month for Developers, €300-1500/month for Dominions. See Revenue Projections table.
Q: What happens if I miss the Morph Event?
A: Your NFT becomes "Dormant" and ineligible for revenue distributions for 12 months (until next Morph Event). You retain ownership and can still sell.
