Art That Glows
Even After
You Sell

Solar Flares is a collection of 16,000 uniquely generated vector art NFTs, each depicting a solar goddess — a stylized sun with a distinctive human face, vivid colors, and expressive features. Every piece is generated from a rich trait pool across 12+ categories, making each one genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Every time a Solar Flare sells on a compatible marketplace, a 10% royalty is automatically sent to that token's dedicated smart contract. It's split: 40% to the creator, 10% to the original minter, and 50% distributed among the last 10 sellers — weighted by seniority (1% for the most recent seller, up to 9% for the 10th-most-recent). Everything happens on-chain with no middlemen.

You remain in the royalty history for the next 10 sales after yours. During that window your percentage grows with each trade — from 1% on the very next sale up to 9% on the 10th. After 10 subsequent sales you exit the window, but you keep every royalty you earned while you were in it. There's no better time to have been an early seller of a popular token.

The original minter earns royalties for life — 10% of every royalty payment, forever, whether they hold or sell. If you bought on secondary, you enter the royalty history the moment you sell. Holding means you're the current owner; when you eventually sell, you'll join the earnings pool and start accumulating a growing share of future trades.

When a token is freshly minted there are no previous sellers, so the minter fills all 10 seller slots automatically. That means on the very first resale the minter collects their permanent 10% share plus the entire 50% seller pool — up to 60% of that royalty payment. Each subsequent trade displaces one slot until real sellers take over, but the lifetime 10% minter share never goes away. Minting gives you the best possible start in the royalty history.

Solar Flares uses EIP-2981, the Ethereum royalty standard, supported by OpenSea, Rarible, and most major NFT marketplaces. The contract is built on ERC721C (Limit Break's creator token standard), which provides additional on-chain enforcement to ensure royalties are consistently honoured.

Paying the royalty is required to join the Solar Flares earnings history. The on-chain royalty splitter only records a seller when a royalty payment is actually received. If you sell on a marketplace that lets you bypass royalties and you choose to do so, the sale goes through — but you are never written into the token's royalty history. That means:

• You receive no future royalty payments from subsequent sales of that token.
• The seller slot that would have been yours is skipped — previous sellers move up the queue faster and earn more.
• You cannot retroactively claim the slot by paying later.

To participate in the royalty system, always sell on a marketplace that enforces royalties, or manually honour the royalty when given a choice. The royalty payment is what buys you a permanent place in that token's on-chain earnings history.

Each Solar Flare has its own dedicated royalty splitter contract. After a sale, the release() function distributes accumulated royalties to all eligible recipients. You then claim your share via withdraw() on the splitter — callable from this site or directly on-chain. There is no expiry on unclaimed earnings; they wait for you indefinitely.

The total supply is hard-capped at 16,000 Solar Flares by the smart contract. This cap is enforced permanently in code and cannot be changed by anyone — including the creator. Once all 16,000 are minted, no new tokens can ever be created.

The creator has the ability to permanently freeze all metadata with a one-way freezeMetadata() call. Once frozen, the art and traits of every Solar Flare are locked forever — no modifications possible by anyone. The freeze status is publicly verifiable on-chain, so collectors can confirm immutability at any time.
