MUTAGEN (<https://mutagen.xyz/>) is a collection of **40 + 4,096** **NFTs** by four internationally acclaimed artists and Solidity developers.&#x20;

These NFTs are designed to live and evolve on the blockchain. Control over how often and when they change is in the hands of the community and collectors. At the core of the project, there are **3 types of tokens**:

* Geneses
* Mutagens
* Genesis Prints

Our goal is to onboard institutionally established artists into the NFT world in a more fun and creative way than just one-off NFT artworks.&#x20;

Ethereum facilitates a lot of new features that were not possible before, and we aim to introduce these opportunities to ‘traditional’ artists on the one hand and present quality contemporary art to the NFT world on the other, thereby expanding the boundaries of the current NFT market. Mutagen mixes institutionally established art with (Solidity) developers.
