A total of 5,050 jackets, each designed as a singular work of art, crafted in silk and sealed with code. Uniqueness, authenticity, and ownership are secured through blockchain technology, bringing a new frontier of timelessness to physical design.
In 2009, 5,050 BTC were sold for $5.02 - giving real-world value to crypto-assets for the first time. Now, nearly sixteen years later, 5,050 unique jackets from The Merkle Tree collection are reinventing the meaning of cryptographically-backed, real-world value.
One-of-one silk garments, each secured on Ethereum. The Merkle Tree is a world-first demonstration of a crafting methodology developed to guarantee that every collector receives a unique piece.
Every FlowZed piece is a singular, irreplicable objet d’art.
The trees that adorn our jackets are unique to each garment - no design is ever repeated. Extracts of the ERC-721 smart contract are visible across the piece, in a pattern unique to each, grounding the artwork in the code that proves its ownership.
Inside the lining our monogram is tiled and interleaved with the piece’s token ID at stochastic intervals, which are distinct for every piece - an attention to detail which goes beyond what can be seen when the garment is worn.
These details are reflected in the blockchain token itself, which features a digital display of the exact design the collector would receive in physical form, proving its uniqueness.
Without compromise. Each piece from The Merkle Tree collection is assembled by hand in our London workshop, by craftsmen and craftswomen who know only the highest standard of their profession.
Our jackets are cut from 100% English silk, both on their exterior and lining, ensuring the experience of the jacket is as refined for the wearer as it is for the observer. The ribbing on the cuffs and hem is pure English merino wool.
FlowZed is for those who expect precision and quality at every level.
Each piece in The Merkle Tree collection is secured by an ERC-721 token on Ethereum mainnet. The collector’s journey begins with this token, which depicts the exact design they will receive in physical form, proving its uniqueness from the outset.
The physical piece can be redeemed from our token-gated collectors’ zone only once, enforced by the smart contract, guaranteeing an experience for the owner that is truly singular.
Our Ethereum smart contracts leverage cutting-edge Chain Fusion technology, in a use-case invented by our founder, enabling collectors' chosen customisations to be stored entirely on-chain. The result is a garment whose physical attributes are preserved with cryptographic permanence.
Every FlowZed jacket features a set of visual traits. These characteristics are visible in both the garment and the token that backs it:
- Tree Count
Each jacket displays a number of tree artworks, placed across the back, front panels, and both sleeves. Some areas may feature none; others may hold up to three. Each section’s tree count forms a distinct trait. - Code
Those same regions which feature tree designs may also include visible extracts of code from the Ethereum smart contract that governs The Merkle Tree collection. The presence of code in each section forms a distinct trait.
- Leaf Colour
The foliage of the trees appears across the entire jacket in one of four colour palettes - Sakura, Rainbow, Autumn or Winter - each inspired by the seasons they represent. - Marmoset
A rare visual element, comprising the collection’s signature marmoset mascot, found in approximately 20% of jackets. Of these, the vast majority are blue. However, 150 silver and just 15 legendary gold marmosets exist and await discovery by the most fortunate collectors.
When a collector redeems their jacket, a final set of traits are recorded on-chain - permanently linking the token to the physical garment as crafted and delivered:
- Redeemed
This trait is set to true once the physical piece has been claimed. Redemption is strictly single-use, enforced by the smart contract, and the value is visible in the traits for the sake of integrity in any secondary market activity. - Base Colour
The dominant background colour of the jacket, selected by the collector at the point of redemption. Options include Black, Navy, Royal Purple, Burgundy, and Emerald.
- Size
Each jacket is available in six unisex sizes, from XS to XXL. The collector selects their size during redemption, which is stored on-chain to reflect the final form of the piece.
The right to mint a piece from The Merkle Tree collection requires possession of a ZedPass - a soulbound token that grants access to mint jackets - or existing ownership of another piece from the collection.
ZedPasses are not publicly distributed - instead, they are extended through on-chain nomination; when a collector mints a jacket, they receive three ZedPass Nomination tokens, which they may send to others.
Once transferred, these nominations convert into soulbound ZedPasses, enabling new collectors to begin their FlowZed journey.
This invitation mechanic ensures that access to our network of FlowZed collectors is governed not by hype, but by human discretion. Every collector can trace their entry back to someone who came before them, all the way to our founder himself.
A FlowZed jacket is not only unique - it is irreplicable.
The visual identity of every piece is defined by stochastic elements, such as the placement of its token ID within the lining’s monogram pattern and the form of trees themselves, whose level of detail are extremely challenging to reproduce. FlowZed retains an internal record of every original design.
Each piece contains a series of QR codes within the lining, cryptographically linked to the original token and to the specific garment they represent, allowing its legitimacy and on-chain ownership to be verified instantly.
Additionally, FlowZed can apply advanced nano-characterisation techniques to validate the physical integrity of a jacket’s material itself - offering final proof of authenticity at the molecular level.
We are pioneers in the realms of both atoms and bits, all in the name of enhancing the experience of owning a FlowZed piece.
