Hashcats — the pixel cats you have to mine

Field notes

Hashcats makes the collectible itself the output of a proof-of-work contest rather than a conventional purchase. The page reports 35-bit difficulty and approximately 34.4 billion hashes per cat, with the winning hash determining traits such as fur, ears, and the object held. It also exposes a live-looking progress counter—9,307 mined—and links the activity to an epoch system, wallet connection, staking, and contract documentation.
