byteGANs · rarities

byteGAN rarities

Every byteGAN carries a type and a subtype, and it is the pair that decides how rare a work is rather than either half of it. The counts below are read from the contract's own titles for all 1,111 works.

Types

The first three are the intelligences the collection was released with. cycloGAN, bioGAN and xenoGAN came later, out of The Crucible, and every one of them was a skullGAN, a cyberGAN or an octoGAN first: 214 of the 1,111 changed type, and the counts of the SuperRares never moved.

Subtypes

One of one — 46 combinations

Two of each — 11 combinations

Three of each — 11 combinations

Where these come from

Each line is counted from what tokenURI returns for every token, mirrored on this site at /onchain/bytegans/. Nothing here is taken from a marketplace's filters, and nothing is estimated.

Two traps sit in this data. A work's title ends in a number of the artist's own, and it is not the token id — across all 1,111 works the two agree exactly once. And the artist's own rarity list, published in February 2023, counts 333 skullGANs, 304 cyberGANs and 371 octoGANs, which is right for the day it was written: the Crucible had not run yet. The difference between that list and this one is the whole of what the fire did.
