Lore Crystal
Lore Crystal
the concept
What if a piece of clothing could collect memories from everyone who wore it? I built that. The Lore Crystal is a hand tie-dyed hoodie embedded with an NFC chip that lets each wearer scan it, submit a photo, and get minted onto the Optimism blockchain as part of a growing collection. One garment. Infinite contributors.
Every new photo becomes a permanent piece of the hoodie's story. I consulted NFC chip founders and blockchain engineers to figure out how to actually make it work, then sent it out into the world

what shipped
A single hoodie that has now traveled to over 8 countries with 25 submissions and counting. Each wearer photographed in a completely different corner of the world, all linked to the same object on-chain. The collection lives on onchain. It's less a product and more a proof of concept that a garment can be a living, community-authored artifact. Nobody had done it quite like this before.
