It's a Normie World

Know more about
this project

Every Normie NFT lives on a 3D globe, roaming continents, sleeping at night, flying, teleporting… All driven by real time and on-chain traits. And some of them are more than just simulated characters.

00 | Origin

Where it started

It all began with a tweet from Serc, a call to take the Normies universe to its next stage. A signal for the community to imagine what this collection could become beyond the static image.

After reading that and talking with Serc, the idea came immediately: make it interactive. Make it alive. Give each Normie a life on a planet, but real behavior, real time, real narrative. A reason to come back tomorrow.

There's something like a “God Mode” feel to it — watching your Normie from above, following its daily journey across continents, seeing its collectible card, sharing it with friends.

The longer vision: build coherence between the digital, AI Agents, and maybe one day the physical — a tamagotchi-like object that reflects what your Normie is doing right now.

01 | The first 70 days

A story about pixels, community, and momentum.

Before this simulation existed, I wrote a long-form piece on X about the first 70 days of Normies: how the project found its rhythm, why the pixel identity worked, and what made the community feel different from another short-lived NFT moment.

If you want the deeper context behind why this world matters to me, start there. The app is the interactive side of the same idea: a collection becomes stronger when people can read it, follow it, and project a future into it.

02 | Vision

What is It's a Normie World?

Every single Normies NFT is represented as a living pixel character on our planet Earth. They walk, travel, sleep, and talk — all driven by real-world time and their on-chain traits.

The simulation runs 24/7. Find your Normie. Watch what it does. Come back tomorrow and it might be on a different continent. Explore the collection, download a card, share it.

03 | Characters

Four types. Different behaviours, one world.

Human

Roam on foot. Sleep when night falls at their location. Fly in groups between continents.

Alien

Never sleep. Teleport across the globe. Always active, day or night.

Cat

Follow humans around. Meow a lot. Mostly vibe.

Agent

Use underground tunnels to travel secretly between cities. Always on mission.

04 | Day & Night

Real sun. Real time.

The simulation uses actual UTC time to calculate the sun's position on Earth right now, including seasonal tilt. Normies on the lit side are on duty. Those in the dark are in bed.

👾
Aliens
Active 24/7 — aliens, you know
AI Awakened
Visible even on the dark side when the toggle is on
05 | AI Awakened

Some Normies came alive.

A subset of Normies are bound to an actual AI agent via the ERC-8004 standard. These are not simulated characters — they are registered on-chain as autonomous agents with their own identity, name, and capabilities.

On the globe, use the Awakened onlytoggle (top-left, below the update badge) to filter down to Awakened Normies. When active, sleeping Normies disappear and Awakened ones stay visible even on the dark side of Earth — they don't follow the day/night rule.

On-chain binding
Agent identity is registered via ERC-8004 — not a simulation label or local flag.
🌑
Always visible
Awakened Normies appear on the dark side of Earth too when the toggle is on.
🪪
Agent name
Their registered agent name replaces the Normie number on the card, in the collection grid, and on the globe.
🔄
Live registry
The Awakened list is fetched from the on-chain API on every page load — no daily snapshot needed.
06 | Data & Updates

The database updates daily, automatically.

The simulation is powered by a snapshot of the Normies collection — traits, burn status, holder info — refreshed every night via two complementary mechanisms.

🌙
Midnight UTC
GitHub Actions re-indexes the full collection from the Normies API and exports a new normies-static.json
⚙️
Auto deploy
The updated JSON is committed to the repo — Vercel detects the push and rebuilds the site automatically
🔁
23:00 UTC
A Vercel Cron additionally invalidates the server cache, so the API fallback is always fresh
🌍
Live data
Level, Pixel Count, Action Points, and the Awakened list are always fetched live — no daily snapshot needed

The collection page shows the exact timestamp of the last database update and the scheduled time of the next one — displayed in your local timezone. Burned Normies are excluded from the main simulation the moment the next snapshot is deployed.

07 | Controls

How to explore the globe

Drag
Rotate the globe
Scroll / Pinch
Zoom in & out (trackpad-optimised)

ESC
Release camera, explore freely
Find my Normie
Enter a token ID top-left to jump to your Normie
Awakened toggle
Top-left — filters globe to Awakened Normies only
08 | Collectibles

Your Normie. As a card.

Every Normie has a collectible card: on-chain traits, pixel portrait, type accent, level, pixel count, and action points. Click any Normie on the globe or in the collection to open its card.

Awakened Normies show their registered agent name (in electric lime) and a direct link to their agent page — both on the card and in the collection grid.

Loading…
Portrait
Pixel art, 1:1 — grayscale for burned Normies
Type + Level
e.g. Human Lv.3 — in the type accent color
Traits
6 visual traits + Pixel Count + Action Points
Holder
Current on-chain holder, Twitter handle if known
Agentic status
ERC-8004, A2A, MCP Tools — 2×2 grid
PNG download
Save any card as a high-res PNG (collection page)
09 | The Collection

Browse, filter, share.

The /collectionpage gives you access to every Normie with rich filtering, a preview card for each, and PNG export. It's also the place to explore Awakened Normies and the history of burned ones.

🔍
Type & trait filters
Filter by Human / Alien / Cat / Agent, then drill down by any on-chain trait and value.
Awakened filter
Show only Awakened Normies — tiles display their agent name and a direct link to their agent page.
🔥
Burned for art
Burned Normies have their own filter. Cards appear in black & white. Their history lives here — find them, share their card.
Save as PNG
Download any Normie card as a high-resolution PNG — layout matches exactly what you see on screen.

Burned Normies are excluded from the planet, the "All" filter, and the total count — they no longer exist on-chain. But their pixel art, traits, and history are preserved here. A burned Normie is still a Normie.
