Waves — Limited Supply & Rarity
Trust Cards are released in successive waves, each with a limited number of cards and a specific rarity distribution.
This phased release ensures prestige for early adopters and creates a controlled progression for community growth.
Concept of Waves
- Each wave represents a minting phase with:
- a supply cap (e.g. 500 cards in Wave 1),
- a different rarity probability (earlier waves increase the chances of higher-tier rewards),
- a defined target audience.
- Once the supply of a wave is exhausted, the next wave opens.
- Each wave is visually distinct, so collectors can immediately recognize the edition of a card.
👉 Importantly: the wave determines the rarity of the chest you receive.
Burning that chest (or relic, for special holders) later defines the rarity of the final card.
Rarity Distribution per Wave
- Wave 1: higher probability of minting Rare / Legendary chests. Target: Web3 / crypto personalities not yet part of the Intuition circle.
- Wave 2: more balanced distribution (more Common chests, fewer Rare/Legendary). Target: other Web3 builders, still outside the Intuition circle.
- Waves 3–4: lower chance of Legendary, mostly Common / Rare chests.
- Wave 0 (special edition): reserved for Intuition’s pioneers (e.g. Relic holders).
Example distribution (illustrative only):
| Wave | Supply | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wave 1 | 500 | 50% | 30% | 15% | 5% |
| Wave 2 | 1000 | 65% | 25% | 8% | 2% |
| Wave 3 | 2000 | 75% | 20% | 4% | 1% |
| Wave 0 | TBD | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? |
Why Waves?
-
Prestige & Status
- Early holders obtain rarer chests, which can reveal more prestigious cards.
- This creates exclusivity and visible recognition for early adopters.
-
Controlled Growth
- The community expands gradually instead of opening to everyone at once.
- Each wave introduces a new layer of Web3 personalities and users.
-
Invitation System
- Each wave relies on invitations to bring in new members.
