While most Truffies start out randomly generated by the users as per the parameters and rules outlined on our website and the contract itself, a certain few Truffies are Special - and we’d like to expand on how those Truffies are generated and distinguished, below.

What are special Truffies?

Special Truffies are Truffi inscriptions that differ in their manner of creation, traits, and potential utility from Truffies created through normal generation methods like Generate or Shuffle. There is an exceptionally low number of these in existence, and we intend to keep them rare and special, as the name implies. They are created exclusively for the purpose of rewarding top competing players on special pre-announced occasions.

How does it work exactly?

First we need to understand what Special Truffies are from a technical standpoint: they’re Truffi inscriptions that were created by our Special Truffi Safe: 0x073...8677, which is a multisig wallet controlled by the team.

These inscriptions have an “isSpecial” key in their metadata which clearly makes them stand out from Truffies generated in standard ways, which do not have it. Inscriptions generated by this treasury address have an increased chance of possessing rare traits.

You can see an example of the key that distinguishes these in the screenshot below, taken from inscriptions.market:

Further, Truffi inscriptions have additional data of the inscription creator inside them. Here is a comparison of Fungi and Truffi inscription data:

// Fungi

{ "seed": 161044, "extra": "8552...3850" }

// Truffi

{ "seed": 161044, "creator": "0xF78...7119", "extra": "8552...3850" }

If you look at the Generator.sol contract which is responsible for generating the SVGs and Metadata from the inscription data, you can see there's a hardcoded address on line 7.

This address is our Special Truffi Safe address, linked right here. When the creator of the inscription matches this address it will affect how the SVG and metadata for the Truffi is generated in 2 ways.

1. They have an increased chance to obtain rare traits like Epic and Legendary.
2. The “isSpecial” trait in the meta data is set to true. This is meant to enable quick and easy identification and differentiation of these from Truffies generated the normal way, and it also outright disables any tampering with the free market (as these could never be passed off as standard or generated freely). For more potential uses of the “isSpecial” trait, read below.

What are the potential uses of Special Truffies?

For the time being, Special Truffies are a badge of pride to enjoy, show off, and brag about to your friends! They’re certainly a very, very rare achievement.

In our inaugural Season 1, we gave away 3 Special Truffies to the community for their tremendous leaderboard achievements - but we’ve given away very few ever since, in order to keep them rare and coveted as intended.

In the future however, we may have some special use cases for them as we keep expanding our functionality and range of utilities, so please keep an eye out for future announcements.

We have a few ideas for future events where they could offer additional value, and perhaps even special abilities or powers.
