08 / FAQ
GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.
01What is ASCII Dogs?
A collection of 4,444 colorful ASCII Dog collectibles, built around Bruno, four lives and a future ecosystem powered by $BRUNO.
02How many Dogs exist at launch?
4,444 Genesis Dogs: 4,000 Common, 400 Rare, 40 Epic and 4 Legendary. The artwork collection is complete; mint is upcoming.
03Why does the website say 4,444 → 1,444?
That is the possible supply contraction. If all 4,000 original Commons are upgraded in groups of four, the collection reaches 1,444 Dogs. It does not start at 1,444.
04How many lives does each Dog have?
Every Dog begins with four lives. Four is always the maximum.
05What is $BRUNO?
The ecosystem token, connected to future gameplay, lost-life restoration and mint access. Gameplay earning rates are not finalized.
06When does $BRUNO launch?
On Pons a few days before the NFT mint. Both launches are upcoming; exact dates and official links will be announced.
07What is the fixed $BRUNO supply?
1,000,000,000 $BRUNO, with 0% team pre-allocation at launch and an intended buyback of 100,000,000 tokens (10% of supply).
08How do I get GTD?
Three public routes: selected community collabs (2,500 spots), the top 1,500 qualifying $BRUNO holders under announced criteria, and selected creators (333 spots). Another 111 NFTs are team reserved.
09Is GTD free?
Yes. The GTD mint price is $0 — 100% free.
10Is GTD first come, first served?
No. GTD means Guaranteed. A qualifying allocation is reserved during the specified GTD mint window.
11Why isn’t mint fully public from the beginning?
The whitelist phase prioritizes genuine participants and existing communities before opening unclaimed supply to the public.
12Can ASCII Dogs completely prevent bots?
No. Bots cannot be completely eliminated. The distribution is designed to prioritize genuine participants first.
13What happens to unclaimed GTD NFTs?
Only unclaimed supply proceeds to public mint. There is no separately reserved public allocation.
14How much is public mint?
$1 per NFT, for supply left unclaimed after the GTD phase.
15How does 4 Common → 1 Rare work?
The future Burn Lab allows four Common NFTs to be permanently burned to create one Rare NFT. Each completed upgrade reduces collection supply by three. Burn functionality is coming soon.
16What is the final composition after all possible Common burns?
1,400 Rare (400 original + 1,000 upgrade Rares), 40 Epic and 4 Legendary: 1,444 total.
17When does gameplay launch?
Gameplay is coming soon. NFTs will give access; survival and progression matter. Exact mechanics and timing will be announced.
18Does Missions require wallet connection?
No. Missions uses a normal public-wallet text input and manual X post proofs. There is no wallet connection, signing or X login.
19Why does Missions ask for a public wallet address?
To record participation for future eligibility review. Eligible submissions may qualify for future rewards; no reward is guaranteed. Never enter a seed phrase or private key.
