The Satraps Collection consists of 5,000 unique collage-style art pieces that will live as NFTs on the Songbird, Flare, and Optimism networks. The Satraps will have 5 hierarchical classes – each class will possess unique powers and utilities. 

Beginning with The Senators; the 400-piece subcollection is the highest-ranking class among all Satraps, consisting of 11 Personas and one secret guild that is the result of our partnership with an incredible artist based on the Arbitrum and Optimism networks. The Senators is also the smallest and rarest subcollection, making only 8% of The Satraps Collection. Those who hold a Senator are granted a free mint in all future Satrap subcollections. The remaining 4 subcollections will be released on several blockchains during the year 2023 – 1 subcollection per quarter. 

The Satraps are historians of Web3; their work will be instrumental in defining the boundaries of community-led protocols for Web3. The Satraps can also initiate voting sessions to discuss ecosystem events (e.g., a voting session can be initiated to decide on the controversial event of FTSO collusion). The Senators can create formal and informal relationships with other Satraps and can extend this power to Satraps of lower rank. There are secret utilities that belong to certain personas which will be revealed with the release of next subcollections.

The Satraps Court: All voting sessions will take place here. 

Ranks: Ranks, also referred to as class, indicate the hierarchical order of each Satrap.

Voting: Each Satrap holds a certain amount of voting power depending on their class and other attributes. Satraps can cast their votes and make decrees. 

Decrees: Voting sessions will result in a decree in its relative category. All decrees are appealable with a class-majority vote and will trigger a new voting session. Decrees can serve as Web3 historical reference points for future products.  

Satrap Attributes: Each Satrap NFT has at least three attributes. A Persona, which describes the character of the Satrap. A Locus, which describes the location of the Satrap. And a Class, which describes the hierarchical rank or class of the Satrap.

Beginning with developing a community-led on-chain identity verification protocol for Songbird and Flare; Satraps will vote and decide which metrics to be used for identity verification in our Web3 Identities protocol. A robust community-led identity verification protocol can create verifiable trust between Web3 businesses and their customers – effectively providing a dynamic KYC/AML protocol whose rules are set by the community instead of a centralized entity.
