Degens love a good Hoodie trait - we couldn't resist throwing it in, even if it meant re-gen/hashing the whole collection.
It uses clever multi-layer-trait-logic, to give the illusion of depth!
Yesterday we asked which

The consensus seemed to be Beanie. We've added it in

🔒What is SHA-256 Hashing?
SHA-256 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit.
It's a process of converting any data (like documents, or images) into a unique, 64 character string of characters. Imagine a magical blender that always gives a unique code.

Gm, Later today we'll be sharing the traits unique to Apescriptions.
But first, a community request for a timelapse of building traits in SVG. With a not-so-simple simple "walkthrough".
🧠Continuing to further optimise the Apescription SVGs is resulting in even smaller file sizes.
Tinkering around has led to new discoveries.
Originally this Teslabot Body trait cost 64KB, It's now 53.9KB - and made using a much neater structure.
