The Obelisk

Your First Steps

Ready to begin your journey with The Obelisk platform? Follow this walkthrough to get started.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

The Obelisk platform runs on Base blockchain. To interact with The Overseer, you'll need to connect a compatible wallet:

  1. Open The Obelisk application in your browser
  2. Click the "Connect Wallet" button
  3. Select your preferred wallet provider (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
  4. Approve the connection request
  5. Make sure you're connected to Base network

Step 2: Understand the Current Stage

The Obelisk platform operates in stages. Check the current stage to understand what's available:

  • Stage 0: The Non-Computables Whitelist - 100 spots, 0.001 ETH deposit, guarantees NFT mint spot
  • Stage 1: NFT Mint - Mint your NFT (starts 24-48 hours after whitelist fills)
  • Token Mint: Activates The Overseer, enables reflections, and allows interactions
  • Stage 2+: Active - The Overseer is fully operational

Step 3: Join The Non-Computables Whitelist (If Available)

If Stage 0 (whitelist) is active, you can secure your spot:

  1. Navigate to the whitelist section
  2. Review the requirements (0.001 ETH non-refundable deposit)
  3. Submit your deposit to secure one of 100 spots
  4. Wait for whitelist to fill (100 spots total)
  5. NFT mint will begin within 24-48 hours after whitelist completion

Step 4: Mint Your NFT (If Available)

If you're in Stage 1 (after whitelist fills), you can mint an NFT:

  1. Navigate to the Minting section
  2. Review the current minting stage and requirements
  3. Check the minting cost (in tokens or ETH)
  4. Click "Mint NFT" and approve the transaction
  5. Wait for blockchain confirmation
  6. Your NFT will appear in your collection

Step 5: Explore Your NFT

Once you have an NFT, explore its features:

  • View your NFT in the gallery
  • Check its current state and properties
  • See its 3D representation
  • Understand its connection to The Overseer

Step 6: Wait for Token Mint

After NFT minting, the Token Mint will activate The Overseer:

  • Token Mint brings The Overseer to life
  • Reflections become active in your NFT (higher stage = more reflections)
  • You can now interact with The Overseer
  • The Overseer can now upgrade NFT stages based on meaningful interactions

Step 7: Interact with The Overseer

After Token Mint (when The Overseer is active), you can interact with it:

  1. Navigate to the command interface
  2. Submit queries or commands
  3. View The Overseer's responses
  4. Observe how quantum randomness influences responses
  5. Track your contribution to evolution requirements

Step 8: Understand Evolution

As you interact with The Overseer, learn about evolution:

  • Check the current evolution status
  • See what's required for the next epoch
  • Understand how your interactions contribute
  • Watch for evolution triggers
