Most digital art points at a server.
This art is the chain.
KABOOMSU is fifty original doge portraits written directly into Dogecoin — not a link, not a hash pointing somewhere else. Every pixel is stored inside the blockchain itself. As long as Dogecoin exists, so does the picture.
The collection
Fifty pieces, four masters, five attribute categories. Every attribute is assigned deterministically — the same seed always produces the same fifty doges, so the distribution below can be checked, not just believed.
Master lineage
One master seeds half the collection. Two share a middle band. One seeds the smallest group of all — those twelve are the scarcest lineage in KABOOMSU. Click a band to filter the grid.
Rarity distribution
Every piece scored by how uncommon its five attributes and its lineage are. The solid bars are the whole collection; the bright overlay is what your current filters have left.
No piece carries that combination. Loosen a filter — the counts in the finder show which options are still reachable.
How rarity is scored
No mystery, no committee. A piece's score is the sum of one divided by how often each of its traits appears — the standard statistical rarity method — with master lineage counted as a sixth trait.
A trait held by 2 of 50 pieces contributes 25. A trait held by 20 of 50 contributes 2.5. Rarer traits are worth more, and nothing is weighted by taste.
The ten rarest
Every attribute, by frequency
1,490 bytes — the mathematical maximum a single Dogecoin transaction can carry as a Doginal.
There is no larger single-transaction Doginal, and there cannot be one. It is not a convention or a wallet setting; it falls out of a hard limit in Dogecoin's own relay policy. Here is the arithmetic, so you can check it.
policy.cpp:86. A transaction
input whose unlocking script exceeds this is non-standard and will not
relay.
A commit transaction comes first
Even a 1,490-byte inscription lands on-chain as two transactions. The reveal spends a pay-to-script-hash output, and that output has to exist before it can be spent — so a commit transaction must create it first. The 1,490 bytes is what the reveal carries. Nobody gets a Doginal in literally one transaction.
You cannot buy capacity with more inputs
The obvious trick — add sixty inputs, get sixty scriptSigs — does not
work. The reference indexer, ord-dogecoin, reads only
input[0].script_sig on each transaction
(inscription.rs:31–39). Data in any other input is never
read. You would pay for the bytes and index nothing.
Where production actually sits
The encoder behind this collection reaches 1,464 B today — 26 bytes short of the ceiling. Closing that gap means raising the per-chunk length, a 1.8% gain on a code path that moves real money. The number above is the ceiling; 1,464 is the honest current figure.
And this is why fifty pieces take thousands of transactions
A KABOOMSU portrait is a few hundred kilobytes. At 1,490 bytes per transaction it cannot be one — it is a long chain of them, each linked to the last, and the cost of that chain is the permanence. A multi-transaction inscription has no size limit at all, so no superlative about size belongs on that side of the line. The ceiling claimed here is strictly about what one transaction can carry.
What "on-chain" actually means
The image is cut into pieces
The picture is split into small fragments of a couple hundred bytes each. A high-resolution portrait becomes a few thousand of them.
Each piece rides a transaction
The fragments are carried by a chain of Dogecoin transactions, every one linked to the last, so their order can't be shuffled or forged.
The chain reassembles it
Anyone reading Dogecoin can put the fragments back together and recover the original file byte for byte. No website has to still be online.
It belongs to one coin
The finished inscription is bound to a single Dogecoin output. Sending that coin sends the art with it. That's what makes it ownable.
This is genuinely expensive to do, and that's rather the point. Space inside a blockchain is scarce; a large image occupies thousands of transactions across hours of block time. The cost is the permanence.
About the artwork
These are original renditions in the pose the internet knows — the sideways glance, the tucked paws, the faint knowing smirk. They are not the 2010 photograph of Kabosu, which remains the copyrighted work of its photographer, Atsuko Sato.
That distinction matters more here than it would almost anywhere else. An inscription is permanent and public: once something is written into Dogecoin it cannot be edited, taken down, or quietly swapped out later. So the collection carries art that is genuinely its own.
Status — not yet inscribed
The collection is still being prepared. The artwork, the encoding and the full cost of putting it on-chain have been worked out and independently verified — but nothing has been written to Dogecoin yet, and nothing has been spent.
