# Background The Oracles were born out of a fascination with **cosmology** and **artificial intelligence**. Inspired by the vast unknowns of the universe, these black holes represent both the mystery and the potential of the digital realm. Each piece in the collection is meticulously crafted, blending AI-generated models with artistic enhancements, making each black hole a distinct entity with its own story. The first 5 pieces of the collection were minted by the **end of 2022**, and since then have been slowly minted, 5 at a time. Given the **scarcity** of the token (100 supply), the NFTs are to be given **exclusive benefits** and **access to the Vortex Foundation**, which are to be explained in detail below. ### Supply The Oracles collection is strictly **limited to 100 NFT**s, ensuring **rarity** and **exclusivity**. This scarcity adds intrinsic value, with each black hole being **one of a kind**. ### Generation Process Each black hole is created using AI algorithms (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) that simulate the complex beauty of space phenomena. These AI generated images are then enhanced digitally (PhotoShop, Leonardo), adding layers of detail and artistic flair that AI alone cannot replicate. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
