The Ultramodern Speed Syndicate

The Ultramodern Speed Syndicate is the flagship Vivid Tokenz Studios collection on Polygon. It is an ERC-721 mint with one unusual property: a token is not finished when you buy it. Every token carries its own counter of genuine, settled sales, and at three thresholds it becomes eligible to trade its artwork for the next tier.

That is the entire premise, and everything else here exists to make it mean something. A counter that any holder could advance by shuffling a token between their own wallets would be decoration. So the contract counts only sales that settle through an authorised venue, clear a price floor, and fall outside a cooldown — and it enforces all three on-chain rather than by policy.

In 2142, humanity found itself in the middle of a technological revolution — AI, art and human ambition collapsing into a single sprawling hyperculture. Skateboarding, a timeless symbol of rebellion and creativity, became the canvas people reached for when they wanted to say something nobody had said yet.

The Ultramodern Skateboards were born there, each one cut by the enigmatic Master Forger — a mythic figure who claimed to work with cosmic energies and fragments of the human soul.

Every board is assembled from four trait categories. The artwork for a token is fixed at mint — nothing about a board is randomised after the fact.

Background

7 variants

Hands

10 variants

Skateboards

20 deck designs

Wheels

13 variants

That is 18,200 possible combinations across a collection capped at 5,000, so rarity is a property of what was actually minted rather than of the generator.

Rarity is hidden until a token is minted. Trait names and values are visible on an unminted board; the rarity ranking is not.

maxSupply is 2,000 — the number of token IDs currently mintable. Above it sits MAX_SUPPLY_CAP = 5,000, a Solidity constant with no setter and no owner override, so the advertised ceiling is verifiable on-chain rather than promised on a page like this one.

The owner may move maxSupply up or down beneath that cap to stage the drop in waves, but cannot lower it below the number already minted, and cannot raise it past 5,000 under any circumstances.

Separately, OWNER_RESERVE = 100 bounds free minting by the owner for the entire life of the collection — team allocation, giveaways and partnerships all come out of that hundred. Also a constant, also no setter.

Locked

No public minting. Only the owner reserve can mint.

Presale

Open to everyone at $4.99. No allowlist — the discount is a window, not a guest list.

Public

Open to everyone at $7.99.

Prices are denominated in US dollars but paid in native POL. At mint time the contract reads a live Chainlink price feed and converts the dollar price to wei, so the dollar cost is stable while the POL amount moves with the market.

Presale / Public

$4.99 / $7.99 per token

Per wallet

7 tokens total, across both phases

Per transaction

4 tokens maximum

Staleness guard

1 hour — mints revert rather than price off a stale feed

Overpayment

Refunded automatically in the same transaction

Proceeds

Forwarded to the creator earnings wallet on every mint

Because the POL amount is computed at the moment of the transaction, the mint sends a small buffer over the quoted figure to cover movement between quote and confirmation. Anything above the true price comes straight back.

The collection holds two base URIs and a boolean. Before reveal, tokenURI returns a placeholder document; after, the real one. Both URIs are editable, so a dead pin or a failed host is recoverable without redeploying. The flag is a two-way toggle rather than a one-way door, and the metadata route enforces the same gate independently — asked for a revealed document while the chain says unrevealed, it returns the placeholder rather than the artwork.

Each token has its own counter. When it reaches a threshold the token becomes eligible for the corresponding tier — not upgraded, eligible. The holder at that moment decides.

Tier 1 — 12 counted sales

The deck is traded for rollerblades

Tier 2 — 19 counted sales

Rollerblades for a moped

Tier 3 — 25 counted sales

A custom rarity reward, undisclosed

Tiers are cumulative but independently claimable, so a token presents as the highest tier its holders have actually accepted. Declining forfeits nothing permanently — eligibility is derived from the counter at claim time, so a later holder can still accept a tier an earlier one passed on.

Every upgrade archives the artwork it replaces. An upgraded token carries the permanent IPFS URI of the render it used to be.

A counter that advanced on every transfer would reward wash trading — twelve moves between your own wallets and a tier costs only gas. So a transfer advances nothing. A sale counts only if it clears three independent brakes, all enforced by the contract:

• Authorised venue. Only registered sale venues may report a settled sale. Raw ERC-721 transfers, including through any other marketplace, never advance a counter.
• Price floor. The higher of a fixed floor and a percentage of what that specific token last counted for.
• Cooldown. At most one counted sale per token per window, so the fastest route to Tier 1 is twelve separate days.

Absolute floor

$4.99 — a hard minimum pins it there permanently

Percentage brake

50% of the token's own last counted sale, when higher

Cooldown

24 hours (hard minimum 1 hour, which cannot be loosened)

A sale that fails a brake is still a perfectly valid sale — it simply does not advance the counter, and the contract says so in an event rather than reverting and costing the seller their trade.

Accepting an upgrade also pays a bonus in pViTok, the Polygon-native reward token behind Vivid Tokenz Studios collections: 75 pViTok per accepted upgrade, against a lifetime budget of 1,125,000 — the true worst case at the 5,000 cap.

The budget is a ceiling consumed only by successful transfers. If it is ever exhausted the bonus stops and the upgrade still happens. The artwork change and the reward are deliberately decoupled, so a funding shortfall can never block a holder from claiming a tier they earned.

pViTok is governed by a 48-hour timelock with a 2-of-3 multisig and a guardian able to cancel during the window. There is no key anywhere that can mint it on demand. It is a distinct asset from $ViTok — not bridged to it, not backed by it, and not redeemable for it.

Two contracts are registered as authorised sale venues, so their behaviour is part of the collection's design rather than an accessory to it.

The marketplace handles fixed-price listings and offers. Offers are escrowed: native POL has no ERC-20 style approval, so an offer deposits its amount when made and holds it until accepted or cancelled. Stale listings can be pruned by anyone.

The auction house runs timed auctions with escrowed bids. Outbid funds are held as pending returns and withdrawn by the bidder rather than pushed, which stops a hostile contract blocking an auction by refusing a refund. There is deliberately no anti-snipe extension — a fixed end time is a rule everyone can see in advance.

Both are pausable, both carry a platform fee currently set to 0% with a hard 10% ceiling, both honour the ERC-2981 royalty, and both refuse self-dealing.

Artwork lives on IPFS, pinned and content-addressed, so the image a token points at cannot be silently swapped. The metadata document is assembled per request rather than pinned as a directory — a token's name, traits and image change when an upgrade is accepted, and an IPFS directory CID is immutable by design.

Stated plainly: the images are decentralised and permanent, while the JSON is served by Vivid Tokenz Studios. The base metadata is committed to the collection's repository, so the document can be reconstructed from the chain plus that repository.

Creator royalty

10.5%, declared via ERC-2981

Royalty recipient

A fixed contract constant — no setter, cannot be redirected

Platform fee (TUSS venues)

0% at time of writing

Platform fee ceiling

10% — a hard maximum the owner cannot exceed

ERC-2981 is a declaration, and enforcement is at each marketplace's discretion — not all of them honour it.

The owner can

• Move maxSupply up or down beneath the 5,000 cap, never below what is minted
• Advance or reverse the sale phase, and reveal or re-seal the collection
• Mint from the 100-token owner reserve, and no further
• Retune the qualifying-sale floor, percentage brake and cooldown within their hard bounds
• Set the reward token, per-upgrade amount and lifetime budget (never below what is already paid)
• Register or de-register sale venues; pause the venues and set their fee up to 10%

The owner cannot

• Exceed the 5,000 hard cap, or mint more than 100 tokens for free
• Redirect creator royalties or mint proceeds — the recipient is a constant
• Disable the qualifying-sale brakes; the floor and cooldown have hard minimums
• Advance any token's counter directly, or claim a tier on a holder's behalf
• Take a token from a holder, or reverse a settled sale
• Mint pViTok — that sits behind a 48-hour timelock and a multisig

125 automated tests across four suites cover the collection, both trading venues, and an end-to-end path that drives a token through every tier using the real marketplace rather than a stub. The contracts carry reentrancy guards, pull-payment refunds, self-deal guards on both settlement paths, a lifetime reward budget, hard minimums on the sale brakes, and a royalty response bounded at 50%.

These contracts have not been through a third-party audit. Tests and review are not an audit, and no process eliminates the possibility of defects.

Nothing here needs to be taken on trust. Every figure is a public read on a verified contract, answerable from Polygonscan's Read Contract tab without a wallet — maxSupply, MAX_SUPPLY_CAP, OWNER_RESERVE, MAX_PER_WALLET_TOTAL, TIER1_THRESHOLD, minQualifyingSaleUsdCents, royaltyInfo, and the rest. Where this page and the chain disagree, the chain is correct and this page is out of date.

• $TUSS is a collectible, not an investment. Nothing here is an offer of a security, a promise of return, or financial advice. NFT values can fall to zero.
• Upgrades depend on real trading activity. A token never sold at a qualifying price never advances. No level of trading is promised or implied.
• Tier 3 is undisclosed and may change before it is revealed.
• Rewards are contingent on the contract holding a funded reward balance.
• Off-chain dependencies. Metadata is served by Vivid Tokenz Studios; pricing depends on a third-party oracle.
• Smart contract risk. Tested and reviewed, but not audited by a third party.
