Thank you to Dom for the incredible inspiration and gift of Loot.

Based on the item data and fundamental logic of the smart contract, the evidence has led us to a hair-raising epiphany hidden in the Loot data and the smart contract:
In the beginning, before the bags were shuffled, these Loot bags were carried by 2,540 first Adventurers, the. TheseGenesis Adventurerswere the most powerful adventurers from each of the 16 Orders, sent out to save the Lootverse.Genesis Adventurers
Our mission as a community:
To re-organize each Order's full set of Genesis Loot bags back to their original state. With the perfectly-reassembled bags in hand, we can resurrect theto defend and protect our Orders for the game ahead. Every player who resurrects a GA receives their Genesis Loot bag.Genesis Adventurers
The Genesis Project, explained:
With pieces, a puzzle
Through randomness, intent
From entropy, Order
At hyperspeed since nearly the moment the Loot Project emerged, a community of builders has come together to develop a series of incredible projects and derivatives that move the ecosystem forward.
But what lays behind? What came before? What was this world like in the beginning, before the bags were shuffled?
Whether by chance, inevitability, or divine design, the data reveals a hidden scaffolding behind the game. Within the seemingly random Loot bags, there is a clear evidence of the original Order of the Loot Universe
Based on a statistical analysis of the item data and fundamental logic of the smart contract, our team at The Genesis Project has unearthed a breakthrough discovery — the "genesis state" of the Loot universe:
In the beginning, before the bags were shuffled, these Loot bags were carried by 2,540 original Adventurers — "Genesis Adventures" — organized across 16 Orders.
What is a Genesis Adventurer?
In the beginning, before the bags were shuffled, there were original Adventurers (Genesis Adventurers”) who carried perfect bags, geared up from head to toe in the gear of their Order. For centuries, there was peace among the 16 Orders. And then came the Great War... The Genesis Adventurers armored themselves from head to toe in their Order’s loot — and set out on an adventure to save the Lootverse. They never returned. Eons later, we have uncovered the lost battle grounds. Our mission — to re-organize each Order's loot back to its genesis state so that we can resurrect the Genesis Adventurers to defend and protect our Orders for the game ahead.
Read here for a detailed history of how we methodically arrived at this singular conclusion through data exploration, statistical modeling, and linguistic analysis.
The Roadmap

Chapter 2: Resurrect Genesis Adventurers from Your Complete Set of Genesis Mana
These are the original beings of Loot, restored and ready to defend their ancestral Order.
Per the implications of the original Loot smart contract, there are exactly 2,540 Genesis Adventurers to be resurrected from 20,320 items of Genesis Mana (8 items per Genesis Adventurer, like all Loot bags).
To resurrect a Genesis Adventurer and receive its Genesis Loot bag, you must assemble a complete set of 8 items of the same Order (of the Fox, of Skill, of Titans, etc, one for each item type (head, hand, foot, etc).

Receive “Offerings” from Derivative Projects
- As a holder of a Genesis Adventurer, you will be entitled to claim future derivative projects across the Lootverse, from the Genesis Project and from developers in the wider ecosystem.
- This opens the Loot ecosystem up beyond "original Loot bag" holders, and to anyone who holds a Genesis Loot bag that was originally carried by one of the .Genesis Adventurers
Current Stats:
Chapter 3: Claim Adventure Time ($ATIME)
This is a resource (an ERC-20 token) to be used in the games ahead, similar to $AGLD. While $AGLD will be used to BUY things in the Lootverse, $ATIME will be used to manipulate time in the game and across the wider ecosystem.
- Holders of Genesis Adventurers and other Lootverse NFTs will be able to

Chapter 4: Discover Genesis Scrolls (Not Yet Live)
These scrolls reveal the origin story of each Order — its purpose, its meaning, and its reason for being.
- We are extremely excited about this North Star for the Genesis Project and intend to manifest this into the universe with an active and engaged community.
Beyond Chapter 4?
Anything else this community dreams up.
The future is ours to design.
