Enter the Age of ChainsA cinematic journey into the world of DAO Hacker.Best experienced with sound.
Watch the DAO Hacker reveal on YouTube (1:06)Hi everyone,
I’m Kilian, founder of Age of Chains. Some of you may remember our
original announcement here in November 2016.
I’d like to introduce our first physical collectible card:
DAO Hacker, the opening card of Series III.
Getting to this first physical release has taken several years of work. We’ve put a lot of care into the artwork, card design, print finishes and cinematic reveal, and I’m glad to finally share the result here.
Actual physical card: front, foil detail and reverse. Click a photograph to enlarge.Turn it in the light and different details in the artwork catch your eye. Printed and finished in Germany through eight finishing stages, the card combines holographic effects, metallic accents and gloss detailing.
The splash illustration is by Jessie Justine De Leon and the design of the card frame and card back is by Dylan Thomas Brooks.
For me, this is a way to bring a piece of the Age of Chains universe into your hands, with a physical finish that rewards looking closely.
“Civilizations reveal themselves at the moment they decide which principles may be broken.”DAO Hacker finds a way through a system its creators believed they could trust. The chain preserves every step, leaving the communities to decide whether to change the history they had agreed to accept.

A note on the concealed keyThe card conceals the private key controlling its associated digital collectible. Key material passed through third-party production, so earlier third-party copies cannot be ruled out.
We recommend carefully revealing the key and transferring the token to an address with a newly generated key of your own.
No BTC for transfer fees is included. The product page explains the handling procedure and purchase terms.
I’d be glad to hear what collectors here think, and to answer questions about the physical card, its finish or the Counterparty connection.
