cardano concept as it's truly decentralized and coupled with the fact that it's the largest cryptocurrency using proof-of-stake blockchain and greener alternative to other similar protocols we have been big fans of you and your work as we are part of the cardano journey from the beginning we relate to every milestone of its journey this fall we came up with the idea of telling a visual story of that journey through a unique collection of nfts we plan to have a five series of nft collections honors honoring the five main eras byron shelley gogan basho and voltaire our first offer in this project is the byron series card deck inspired by the byron era the first and the beginning phase the deck of playing cards visually narrates the story of the first phase of the cardano journey and becoming one of the most trusted blockchains in the world through this digital artistic expression we tell the story of the start of cardano and ada crypto which bears the moniker the ghost chain what the skeptics call it and the first five systematic milestones the byron era we hereby present the ghost chain society byron series dart a deck nft collection the cardiac characters are illustrated as ghosts and inspired by the byron works scope all details in the art are inspired by cardano symbolism the orborus protocol the ada block explorers daedalus wallet deadlifts japanese interface arroyo wallet icarus project block storage byron test net enhancements support visualization integrations and many more all these work scope milestones are visualized via many real-life characters that provided the inspiration to the cardano team lord byron lady byron ayda lovelace jean carl not giancarlo it's jacomo guys jacomo cardano and the magic card aka the joker card based on the man himself
