Cover story

Five hundred microbes, grown in glass

Luoms are the third colony from this lab. Each one grows live from its number, so the same number always grows the same microbe. Ten body forms, twelve stains, five kinds of light.

A colony that only gets smaller

Bioms feed on each other in the Lab. The supply only ever falls.
Report
Four thousand microbes that walk

Nothing was drawn. A number goes in, a walking microbe comes out.

Bioms, ERC-721 on Ethereum

Abstract

Bioms are living, procedural microbes. Each one is an HTML page that draws itself from its traits. Holders bring two to the Lab and burn one to feed the other. The survivor inherits everything: palette, organelles, the body itself. The donor is gone, forever.

**Table 1.** The colony today. Counts update from the burn record.

Four thousand microbes that walk

Plods, heading to Robinhood Chain

Abstract

Plods are microbes with legs. Nothing here was drawn: a number goes in, a walking microbe comes out, and the same number always grows the same one. The walk loops in 64 frames, four full steps, and the last frame lands exactly on the first.

**Table 2.** Plods at a glance.
Supply	4,000
Traits	9, with 200 variants each
Walk loop	64 frames, four steps
Chain	Robinhood Chain
Mint	Soon, on OpenSea
