Really sorry @BITFOOTS_ ≦(._.)≧ Because I was so careless during the initial application, I only wrote three words in my retweet, and they only gave me FCFS. I deeply regret being so lazy. To express my apology, I’ll reintroduce it properly. 1/8 A group of creatures that don’t want to be seen has appeared on Zcash. @BITFOOTS_ 303 unique 1/1s, hidden in the shielded pool. These aren’t mass-generated avatars; they’re hidden creatures created with over 1,000 hours of effort. You’re not buying a Bitfoot. You’re being granted permission to discover it. 2/8 Its concept is fully fleshed out: Bitfoot doesn’t live in the forest; it lives on-chain. It doesn’t reside on public ledgers; it lives in Zcash’s shielded pool. Other chains leave footprints. It chooses not to. Being fully seen is equivalent to being captured. So it prefers to remain a myth. 3/8 This project almost launched 2.5 years ago. Back then, it was on Bitcoin Ordinals. The works were already inscribed, integrated with Magic Eden, and even whitelist spots were distributed at a live event in Hong Kong. But the minting wave had passed. They didn’t want to gamble with something they had invested so much in, so the entire collection stayed in their wallet for nearly three years. 4/8 Choosing Zcash now isn’t just about switching chains randomly. The team made it clear: Only the shielded pool matches the concept of “never being followed.” Minting on ZEC costs around $5, covering just the launchpad and network fees. The team says they’re not making money this time. After minting, the corresponding Ordinals version will be airdropped for free. 5/8 There are only 303 in total. It’s not first-come, first-served. You apply first, then get reviewed, and only if approved can you enter the forest. Approved applicants can also vouch for 2 friends. If you don’t submit a Taproot wallet, you’ll miss out on the other half. The website also hides clues. They’re calling the whole thing: The Hunt. 6/8 The art style is minimalist pixel art, leaning towards silhouettes and Bigfoot-like outlines. The website features 18 avatars and encourages the community to play with them, create memes, and make derivative works. The team says they’ll be observing these creations on X. Small scale + strong narrative + dual-chain setup is why it’s being discussed right now. 7/8 Applications have already started being approved for some. If you’re approved, remember to submit your Ordinals wallet, or your Bitfoot will be incomplete.

What it’s betting on is— Are there people willing to queue for something “invisible”? 303 creatures. Hidden in the blockchain forest. Let’s see if you can find them. Hope you like it @BITFOOTS_ Can I get upgraded to GTD? ❤️
