BricktOrigins

dApp frontend for Abnormal Studios' product-driven Ethereum NFT collection — five individual NFTs with phased whitelist and public mints, a dashboard with reveal mechanics, and a Forge ceremony where holders burn all five to mint The Monument. Built with React, Next.js, and RainbowKit.

The Project

BricktOrigins is a collection of five individual NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain celebrating the history, community, and future of Abnormal Studios. Each NFT tells a different story — who they are, how they came to develop Bricktopians, the Brain Boot sneaker, and everything Abnormal Studios builds next. 999 NFTs were available for each of the five artefacts.

We built the dApp frontend: a theatrical landing experience, wallet connection via RainbowKit, a dashboard that tracked collection progress across all five NFTs, and the full minting flow through phased whitelist and public mint windows. Alchemy and Infura provided node infrastructure.

The Forge

The centrepiece mechanic: holders who collected all five NFTs could Forge them together in a ceremony that burned the five originals and minted The Monument — an interactive logo NFT that carries the community and Abnormal Studios forward. The Monument can be combined with upcoming releases to unlock rare benefits — the rarest allowing holders to co-design and 3D print their own Brain Boot sneaker with Law Degree.

The frontend guided users through the full Forge flow: approval transactions, burn confirmation, waiting states, and the final mint success. Monuments were limited to a total supply of 999.
