SLOPWARE™

Progressive Automation

An NFT collection you
watch get replaced - live.

SLOPWARE doesn't just depict the end of work. It performs it. Over time, units get automated away on-chain - role by role, in the order AI actually eats jobs. You watch your office empty out.

◷ ROADMAP · SERVED VIA DYNAMIC METADATA

The mechanic

DEPRECATED is a state your unit can enter.

When a role gets automated, dynamic metadata flips the affected units. The embroidered thought is overwritten with a cold system line, and a DEPRECATED · ROLE ELIMINATED stamp lands across the plate. Same token. New, worse, truer state. Here's a Desk Phone getting the news.

The change is metadata-driven. Nothing is burned. The unit persists - as a record of the day its role stopped existing.

The upside

Automated doesn't mean worth less.

When your role is eliminated, your unit doesn't just grey out. It transforms into the relic AND the machine that replaced it. You hold the pair - still one token, still 10,000.

Supply never grows. No second NFT is minted - the bot appears inside the token you already own. The collection stays exactly 10,000 forever.
No mint-out, no gas grab. Nothing to race for and nothing new to mint, so no one can miss out. Every automated unit fairly gets its paired state, served live.
Survivors are the trophy. A capped few stay STILL EMPLOYED - permanently immune. As the office empties, the last ones working become the rare flex.

The schedule

The office dies on a timetable.

A small percentage of the collection is automated each period - not at random, but role by role, in the order AI actually eats jobs. Data-entry, filing and phones go first. The human-comfort objects - the mug, the chair, the plant - go last, because they're the last thing anyone gives up. Holders watch the floor clear in the real-world order.

Phase 01 - The obvious ones first to go

The roles that were already half-automated. Nobody argues. The floor gets noticeably quieter.

Phase 02 - The back office mid-wave

Scheduling, routing, first-line support. The work that turned out to be a prompt in a trench coat.

Phase 03 - The floor thins late wave

The roles people swore couldn't be done by a machine, being done by a machine, cheaper.

Phase 04 - The human-comfort objects last to go

The mug, the chair, the plant. Not because they matter to the business. Because they matter to the person who's gone.

What it does to your unit

Three things happen when the office empties.

01 · THE FLIP

Your thought gets overwritten

The tell you minted with is replaced by a system line - "VOICEMAIL: DREAD" → "SEE: BOT" - and the DEPRECATED stamp appears. Permanent, on-thesis, honest.

02 · THE ORDER

You know when your number's up

Roles fall in a published order. Hold a Desk Phone and you're early. Hold a Desk Plant and you get to watch everyone else go first.

03 · THE SCARCITY

Survivors get rarer by the day

Every deprecation shrinks the pool of still-employed units in that role. The collection gets rarer as a group the emptier the office gets.

The endgame

"Still employed" is the flex.

Automation doesn't just destroy value - it concentrates it. The last un-automated unit of a role becomes a badge. And you may not have to take it lying down.

Survivor

The last one working

When every other unit of a role is DEPRECATED, the final holdout wears a survivor mark. It's the rarest position in the collection: not a rare roll, an earned one. The office cleared out around it, and it's still at its desk.

Save your unit

A planned holder action to keep a unit employed a while longer - buy it a stay of execution against the schedule. Engagement with a countdown. You can't stop the office dying. You can decide who goes last.

◷ SAVE - FORTHCOMING
DEPRECATED is the living version of PURGED. PURGED units (28) were never made - the empty box, absence you minted. DEPRECATED units were made, woke up, worked, and then watched the role disappear out from under them. One absence is a fact. The other is a story you got to witness. See the special tiers →

How it's served

Dynamic metadata. Nothing burned.

Deprecation runs on dynamic, on-chain-anchored metadata - the same token URI now resolves to a deprecated state on schedule. Your unit is never destroyed; it's revised. This is forthcoming and part of the roadmap, announced to the manifest before the first phase runs.
