# About

### What exactly are SatoshiFaces?

&#x20;**SatoshiFaces**, otherwise known as “**Faces**” are digital art collectibles comprising of [4999 unique portraits](https://satoshifaces.com/gallery). All of the pieces and elements within are created by British artist [**Ed Merlin Murray**](https://satoshifaces.com/artist).

### Are SatoshiFaces pre-minted?

No Faces were minted before the start of the sale.

### **Will there be any more SatoshiFaces?**&#x20;

No. This will be the only SatotshiFace iteration. No additional artworks will ever be created as a part of this collection. 4999 of them.

### Are they all really unique?

All of the components, pieces, characters, backgrounds, and items in SatoshiFaces were drawn by hand by Ed, as shown [here](https://twitter.com/SatoshiFaces/status/1380463314900254721) and [here](https://twitter.com/SatoshiFaces/status/1382442152635072518). And also here shows how the character is [digitized](https://twitter.com/SatoshiFaces/status/1382029703264014338).

The 4999 Faces themselves were created through proprietary software that randomized the placement of each together, guaranteeing that each is 100% unique, and the rarities of each piece are established based on the predetermined characteristics. Before the first segments were revealed to us *Face-heads*, all 4999 unique Faces were randomized and shuffled.

### Chances of getting a rare one?

Every artwork, rare or common has been randomly distributed using an on-chain mechanism to assign them fairly and transparently to buyers. **The buyers will all have the same chance of getting a rare collectible no matter what bracket the artwork has been collected in.** It is also important to remember that the Faces collection has both explicit and implicit traits meaning rarity is, to some degree an interpretation rather than a calculation.

### **Will unsold SatoshiFaces get burnt?**&#x20;

No. To ensure pre-set rarity percentages are maintained and special pieces are not destroyed, no Faces will be burnt.
