The character should be illustrated more like a tool or weapon than a person. - Laid out like a schematic or blueprint: ![](https://i.imgur.com/2cc9pBT.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/IWhUqbq.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/EOlPwGi.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/BlOEU72.jpg) - Less human and more like a pure robot: ![](https://i.imgur.com/CUYuT6y.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/QTQvvLT.jpg) - Composed of many different kinds of parts and technology: ![](https://i.imgur.com/gL9Mbod.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/nLfAgpN.jpg) - Kinda silly, but really inspired by the Love Machine in Jodorowsky's *Holy Mountain*! {%youtube v8XfpKip2g4%} Ok @Hörr I've been thinking about the 5 bots that will come together to make up this big walking city ETH Bot you made. This is tricky, since the 5 bots are each referencing tech companies and why they are important. I wanted to make it as easy on you as possible and not get caught up in technical explanations, so I found these videos that briefly describe each company. I also want to give you as much freedom as possible, so you can interpret and sketch these bots however makes sense for you and once we have a drawing to reference I can give you some detailed feedback. How does that sound? First Bot: DAI Watch the video on their website: https://makerdao.com/en/ Second Bot: The Graph Here's a written explanation: https://thegraph.com/blog/introduction-to-the-graph/ But its probably better just to watch this video: https://youtu.be/ANDeiXFiYC4 Third Bot: Wallet Connect This is a pretty straightforward concept, so I think their website is fine. Let me know if you want more explanation on this. https://walletconnect.com/ Fourth Bot: Gnosis Safe + Zodiac These are two different products that a company called Gnosis creates. To learn about Safe, watch the video on their website: https://safe.global/ To learn about Zodiac (which is a bit more complicated) I found this short video: https://youtu.be/9QCFwR6U_S8 I think this one will be kinda tricky, so let me know if you have questions. Fifth Bot: Gitcoin Gitcoin used to be a kind of bounty system for supporting independent workers. This video explains what they used to focus on: https://youtu.be/DJartWzDn0E Then they evolved into a focus on Quadratic Funding and a platform for supporting grant distribution for project. This is explained here: https://youtu.be/HJljTtLnymE Also on this website: https://wtfisqf.com/?grant=&grant=&grant=&grant=&match=1000 This is probably the most difficult bot conceptually because it could be interpreted in so many different ways, but it could also be easier because there's a lot of information that explains it. --- ### Part 2: Moloch Reimagined --- ### Part 3: Anon Reimagined
