The Call Data Comrades are a 10K Ethscriptions Collection. Not NFTs, these are inscriptions! They are forever inscribed in the Call Data of the Ethereum L1.
We are here to start the renaissance of the Ethscriptions protocol and to bring attention to the awesome first movers in this space like the Mfpurrs, the Hyppocrites, the EthereumPhunks, Nakamingos and so many more...
There are a lot of easter eggs and allusions to highlights of the ethscription space in this collection. So prepare for an avalanche of nerdom and mind the gap between the blocks. But most of all consider becoming a Comrade, Comrade.
There is a place for everybody in Block City!
BEcome a comrade

There is a place for everybody in Block City!
The World
From Block City to the Drain Planes – get to know the home of the Comrades.
The Call Data Comrades live within the Call Data of the Ethereum Block Chain, in a realm called the Ether. A funky place full of history and heroes, but also full of dangers.
Sunrise above Block City
A long time ago the Ethernals witnessed the first block popping into existence and with it an angelic being, going by the name of Validator Rex.
The Ethernals created the Comrades after the image of VR, which in turn placed the first Block of which should become the home of the Comrades. The shining city on the Hill – Block City.

Sunset in BAC C137
Even though Block Assembly Complex C137 is by far the least productive site, it is also by far the most pittoresque.
Which is why pictures of it are often used to recruit new comrades for the hard but lucrative work in the block assembly business.
Due to the lack of competent leadership at BAC C137 anyone here works barely if ever at all. So if you don’t have any ambitions, getting a job at BAC C137 is like winning the jackpot every day for the rest of your life.

The powerful technology that made Block City the epitome of freedom and self sovereignty also created the rotten fields of the Drain Plains
The Drain Plains
A place where evil lurks and one single wrong step can cost you everything.
This is the realm of the dreaded Pirate King and also that of the Rug Lord – a mysterious being that came over from the YONDER and seeks to rug everything. The Citizens of Block City are in a constant conflict with the Rug Lord and his four Henchmen of the Ablockalypse.
Tread lightly here and don’t listen to the whispers.

The yonder
Hidden from the world of the comrades another realm exists. It is called The Yonder.
While the Ether is a pretty funky plain of existence, the YONDER is a vast and mysterious realm full of strange beings.
The Yonder exists far beyond the Ether and not many Comrades were granted a peak behind the veil that separates these worlds from each other.
Sometimes the veil becomes thin, sometimes pathways that used to be hidden slide into one’s peripheral vision and cast a tempting and fateful invitation.
Sometimes the veil becomes thin, sometimes pathways that used to be hidden slide into one’s peripheral vision and cast a tempting and fateful invitation.
But there are also ways to open one’s mind to be able to see into this other world – if only for a short amount of time. It’s a peak both into the universe and into yourself at the same time. But only the strong minded should choose to do so.
Floorbagorb migration
Hidden pathways exist between these worlds and sometimes beings from the YONDER make their way over to the Ether.
Most of the times these beings are mere explorers, sometimes they just want to enjoy all these vibrant colors and the awesome beach parties, but sometimes they just want to cause trouble – like the mischievous Floorbagorbs.
Unfortunately these little buggers are the most common visitors from the YONDER. They can be a real pest at times.
Unfortunately these little buggers are the most common visitors from the YONDER. They can be a real pest at times.
At the time of the Comrades mint there are 6 Techno Lords from the YONDER currently vacationing in the Ether.
Unlike the Floorbagorbs or the Rug Lord and despite their grim looks these are actually pretty nice fellas – having a blast over here with all the colors and stuff.
Nonetheless the Ethernals don’t really dig their presence in their realm and they are more than willing to help you banish them from the Ether and send them back to their realm – the YONDER. But they will never be able to come back if you choose to do so.

Legends of block city
This is the elite of the elite of the Comrades.
The Genesis Block
And then there was the Genesis Block.
There are many speculations about how it came to be. Some involve a super nerd from another dimension named Vitalik, which is what the Dexclesia claims. Others involve wonderous sexual practices of the Ethernals.

Validator Rex
Validator Rex came into existence with the Genesis Block. There was not a single block without this angelic Knight watching over his subordinates.
He makes sure that everything stays in order and that every comrade can enjoy their blocks to the fullest extend. He laid the first block of what is now the shining city on the hill, Block City.
And he is the commander in chief of the powerful elite guard that is called the Adeptus Cuborum.
He is the light, he is the truth, he is consensus. And if you don’t agree with him you will live the rest of your blocks among the honorless heretics in the rotten wastelands that they call the Drain Plains. This also shows how merciful of a ruler he really is. Because if he wasn’t, he would just send you to his old friend 0xDEAD instead.

The Rug Lord
The Rug Lord is a being from the Yonder. Nobody knows how he was able to make his way into our world, but however he did that the mostly chaotic neutral beings from the Yonder are quite happy he’s gone. But now the citizens of Block City have to deal with him.
While others have their reasons to do evil, the Rug Lord does not. He does not just want to rug you, certain protocols or certain tokens. He doesn’t even want to rug for his own gainz. He just wants to rug EVERYTHING until there is nothing but darkness and silence.
He is destruction, he is death and everything that will never be. Even the most ruthless folks in Block City fall silent and look around nervously when his name is spoken. Which is why nobody ever speaks of him. Except for Jerry, the old nutjob from Block #80085, which is also why nobody likes Jerry.
Legend has it that if the Rug Lord is ever reunited with his 4 henchman, the Ablockalypse will start.

Ethernal Prime
The Ethernals are mysterious beings of the Ether. They created the comrades after they witnessed the first block pop into existence.
Even though they usually don’t mingle in the matters of the mortals anymore or in any matters really, they show up from time to time to remind the comrades of how cool they are. They generally enjoy the company off the comrades – except for that of Default Comrade 08/16, they try to avoid her at all costs. Ethernal Prime is the Boss of the Ethernals. Which is most likely because of his immaculate beard.
But whatever the reason the Comrades love to listen to his stories especially at beach parties when Prime starts talking about the time before the Blocks (after going 420 with his buddies Jonboy, Dickbutt and Peter the Imposter Captain.) Ethernal Prime denies to this day that they had anything to do with the creation of the Genesis Block and supports the claim of the Dexclesia that it must have been a being from another other Dimension called Vitalik. Though many think this is disinformation to distract from the weird mating rituals of the Ethernals.

0xDead
He is dead, he is cold and he is always hungry. Whatever comes to him will never leave.
A Wild Gas Guzzler Appears
The Drain Plains are a dangerous place. Wild Gas Guzzlers are only one among many great dangers awaiting those who have to cross these forsaken lands.
If you have to cross through there make sure you travel with enough gas at hand. Because these suckers come out of nowhere and they can suck a lot. All of a sudden they are sucking you dry.
They are really good at it and they love it and they swallow it all and there is nothing you can do about it. If you don’t have enough gas on you to satisfy their thirst before they sucked you completely dry you might end up being stuck there for a long time.
And you don’t want to be at the mercy of the crazy Nonce-Fairies. They might help you out but only for a terrible remuneration in return.

Babby Comrade
Even the youngest comrades believe in the greatness of Validator Rex and that without him everything will stop to exist. From their earliest blocks on they live to honor their glorious King and pledge their allegiance to him.
And if the Dexclesia suspects any doubts or heretic thoughts in our young comrades, they will just tell them about the Nonce-Fairies of the Drain Plains.

Block Contruction Crew Foreman
Manni is the foreman at Block Assembly Complex C137. He has many problems but blocks ain’t one. He is not very good at his job, and even though the people working under his watch counter many of his stupid decisions, BAC C137 only very rarely manages to complete a whole block at all.
Manni and his crew like to watch the great block in the sky set behind the horizon whenever they have a chance to do so, which is basically every day. Usually they gather many hours ahead of time to get hold of the best seats and to not miss one single bit of it.

Block Pepe
PEPE was handed the key to the city by Validator Rex himself. He is the symbol of the power of the people, a symbol of wealth, of anarchy and of common sense. He purely lives off the memetic forces of the Chainiverse. Even the Ethernals see him as an equal.
Conversing with Machine Elves
Exploring the Yonder and experiencing Ego Death is something that every Dexclesia adept has to go through under strict supervision.
They once made it mandatory for the greater populous of Block City, but after too many Comrades started questioning Validator Rex’s authority they quickly dismissed this pratice.
Unfortunately the Dexclesia was not able to convince the machine elves to assemble the blocks for them.

Crying Comrade
Wojak is very sad. Yes, sometimes even Comrades get sad.
But usually only when they didn’t get the job at Block Assembly Complex C137 or when their uncle betrays Validator Rex to become the feared leader of the mighty Mecha Corps of the Hordes of the Rug Lord.
Just imagine having both happening to you at the same time. Poor Wojak, it’s alright, let it all out.

Default Comrade 08/15
Default Comrade 08/15 was one of the earliest prototypes that was made by the Ethernals. They were still arguing about the skin color and his cognitive capabilities when he joyfully wandered out of the lab. They didn’t even notice his absence and so DC08/15 is still living his life to the fullest extend in a very boring part of Block City. The Ethernals also had not settled on an average life span yet when he left. So he might actually be immortal. His neighbours describe him as a bit of a boring fella and that he is not really the brightest candle on the cake.
Default Comrade 08/16
Default Comrade 08/16 also went out to explore the Chain before she was completed. She knows about DC0815 but so far hasn’t met him. She is looking forward to the day when she actually meets him. But she is in no hurry as she most likely also is Immortal.
She regularly seeks contact with the Ethernals. Mostly to complain about all the stupid colors they invented for the later models and about all the stupid distractions around her that disturb her favorite activity – gazing into the distance.
To be honest she is a bit of a Karen and only talks to the highest ranks of the Ethernals. Other than DC0815 the Ethernals kind of regret having let her live. But now they can’t go back. Everyone knows her already. It would look really bad to get rid of her now.

Dickbutt
Dickbutt is a sight to behold. And even though it can be a bit exhausting to be in his presence, he is always welcome at Jonboy’s excessive beach parties and he makes an awesome wingman.
He is the kind of guy you can have the best parties with, but you pray to never meet in your daily life.

Dumb Contract
There are many dumb contracts but this one is yours. It is significantly dumber than all the others. Congrats!
High af at the Beach
Some folks just like to get super high at the beach. Jonboy does this every day. And during the night he throws the best parties – every single night.
Even the Ethernals sometimes materialize in the plain of blocks to partake in these wild festivities. He is best friends with Peter the Imposter Captain. Everybody likes Jonboy.

Imposter Captain at the Beach Resort
Peter the Imposter Captain is Jonboy’s best friend and his constant companion.
He is always on the hunt for wealthy old ladies. And even though he regularly gives these old Ladies the time of their lives, he has so far never accomplished to achieve any monetary gainz from his desperate deeds.

Licker Block
A combination of late stage Fomoritis in combination with long term exposure to the gibberish of ranting shitfluencers can result in the permanent lickerblockization of the subject.
And while it might be fun to get licked for a while, getting licked all day every day really sucks.
So these poor souls are usually exiled into the Drain Plains as there is nothing one can do to reverse this condition.
Lonely Golden Boy
The lonely golden boy is a sad sight. He was once beloved by his friends and family until greed took over. He is one of the richest comrades in Block City but what he thought was a blessing really became his curse.
Sudden Wealth Syndrome is a real thing. For many people it really will become a curse if they don’t mentally prepare for it. Inform yourself, make a plan and stick to it! Don’t let it change who you are. Let the lonely golden boy be a warning to us all, Comrades!

Mecha Corps General (Adeptus Cuborum)
The Mecha Corps is the most elite division within the whole Adeptus Cuborum. Which is of course already the Elite. So the Mecha Corps is really the Elite of the Elite. And the Mecha Corps General of this Elite of the Elite is by far the most elite Comrade on the whole chain. So General Cletus here is the most Elite leader of the elitest Elite in the fight against the hordes of the Rug Lord.
It doesn’t get any eliter.
It doesn’t get any eliter.
Mecha Corps General (Hordes of the Rug Lord)
General Floyd was the predecessor of the current General Cletus of the elite Mecha Corps of the Adeptus Cuborum. He got disheartened after he wanted to use his influence to grant his good-for-nothing nephew a position at the super chill Block Assembly Complex C137 but got turned down by the Holesome Man.
After that he joined the Omega Block Zealots and the Rug Lord Fanclub. And it didn’t take long until he became the mighty Mecha Corps General of the Hordes of the Rug Lord.

Mecha Pilot (Adeptus Cuborum)
The Mecha Pilots of the Adeptus Cuborum are worshipped by many but envied by none.
Driving one of these beasts of steel into battle has dire consequences for mind and body. Without the advanced armors that protect them from sudden pressure changes and G-Forces they would die in the cockpit after the first jump. Only the strongest can wield this instrument of destruction.
The consequences for your mind are not less dire than the ones for your body. Being one with these ultimate tools of Power makes you feel week and whimsy as soon as you exit the cockpit. It’s like a drug and many have succumbed to it.

Mecha Pilot (Hordes of the Rug Lord)
The Mecha Pilots of the Hordes of the Rug Lord are mostly ex Adeptus Cuborum Pilots, that succumbed to the drug of having near unlimited Power of destruction.
At some point they simply refused to exit their cockpit and ran off into the Drain Plains to be forever united with their Mecha. They are then easy prey for the Rug Lord or the Pirate King of the Drain Plains.
Give a lost soul a purpose and it is forever yours.

MEV Bot
MEV Bots are a constant nuisance in Block City. Most of them are deployed by the Pirate King of the Drain Plains, who steers and watches them from his secret hideout. They are only one of many mechanics, that the Pirate King and his thugs use to extract value from the law abiding Comrades of Block City. But they are one of the most effective as their deeds often go unnoticed by the unsuspecting Comrade.
MSPAINT Comrade
The MSPAINT Comrade is a brutal mfer.
Pirate King of the Drain Plains
Every Organism in the Drain Plains has to pay tribute to the Pirate King. Even the wild Gas Guzzlers and the ranting shitfluencers abide by his laws.
Only the Nonce Fairies don’t, but that’s fine. He doesn’t want to have anything to do with those, ever!!! Everybody hates the fucking Nonce-Fairies.
One could expect the Pirate King and the Rug Lord being in a constant fight over the Drain Plains, but it’s nothing like that. The Rug Lord accepts the Pirate King’s presence in the dark parts of the chain like a Kaiju Cow accepts the presence of a mere ant under its hoof.

Purr People Pure Breed
The graceful tribe of the mfpurrs is beloved by everyone in Block City. They were among the very first settlers in the Call Data Fields and their contribution to make Block City the awesome place it has become will never be forgotten. Their ancestry goes back to the very first art that blockchain historians ever found in the Call Data.
Every Comrade who is seeking a position of power in Block City has to win the favor of the tribe. Many tried to bribe the tribe, but that always failed.
Mfpurrs don’t let anybody tell them what to do.
They do whatever the fuck they want.
Mfpurrs don’t let anybody tell them what to do.

Ranting Shitfluencer
One of the least dangerous dangers of the Drain Plains are the ranting shitfluencers – BUT they are by far the most annoying.
If you know the signs and are not preconditioned with Fomoritis you should be able to withstand their constant nonsensical shitcoin shilling.
But its not as easy as one might imagine.
Once a shitfluencer sees some potential exit liquidity passing through the Drain Plains they accompany their every step, sometimes for days, taking a break from praising their coins only when they need to breath.
Unfortunately even the toughest travelers can fall victim after having to listen to their mind numbing gibberish for days. And some are even willing to buy some of their coins just to get rid of them.
Due to the lack of travelers in the Drain Plains they are often seen trying to convince each other to buy their bags. These conversations can last for weeks. And even though none of them is really listening to the other, sometimes they are semi successful and mutually swap some of their shitcoins only to immediately dump on each others heads.

Reorg Attack Victim of Block 3,887,075 (colorized)
This is the historic photograph of Herman the accountant, who had a really shitty day that became even shittier.
During the reorg attack of Block #3,887,075 he was distracted by staring at his coworker’s beautiful blocks and failed to evade the reshuffle.
After some time to adjust to his new and strange condition he now lives a happy life as an instructor for OnChain safety measures.
He can also look at the blocks of his coworkers all day long now, because nobody can really tell what Herman is looking at anymore.

Smart Contract
He is smart! But this smartness comes at a great cost. And that cost is paid in Gwei.
This smart contract couldn’t care less though, he is too smart. He simply doesn’t care about the problems of the common Comrade.

The First Wei
“And Vitalik spoke let there be Blocks and fill them with Wei. And so it was.”
This first Wei is displayed in the Block City Museum of Chainology, which is managed by the Dexclesia. Many believe this to be fake while others swear that the mere presence of this holy artifact cured them from Fomoritis within minutes.

The Four Henchmen, 99 Percent Attack
The four henchmen of the Ablockalypse are poor souls that were at the wrong block at the wrong time. The Rug Lord rugged their comradery and made them Anti-Comrades – pure tools of destruction. They now linger silently in the darkness, waiting for either a small solo gig or the big finale – to summon the Omega Block. The block to end all blocks.
The fourth henchman is 99 Percent Attack.
For him to be successful in his endeavor to bring chaos to Block City, Validator Rex must first be taken out. For as long as the wise King carries the sword of consensus there is nothing he can do.

The third henchman is Alien Invasion. Nobody really knows if he is benevolent or malevolent, but every clear thinking Comrade knows he exists and that his advent would cause an uproar like they have never seen and that it will most likely sow heavy doubts regarding everything the Dexclesia has been preaching for all these blocks.

The first and most dangerous of these tools is Singularity. Once he is unleashed there is little chance for society as we know it to continue. The only chance might be a cubic mass ejection by the great Block in the sky to purge the whole tech-tree that Block City is built upon. Some argue Singularity alone would be able to start the Ablockalypse.

They now linger silently in the darkness, waiting for either a small solo gig or the big finale – to summon the Omega Block. The block to end all blocks.
The second henchman is Zombie Ablockalypse. He is slow and he is stupid. But he is infectious af. The simian real estate Fomoritis of block #16,939,936 (which resulted in the magnificent ghost town east of the Drain Plains) can’t even begin to compare to what he would unleash.

The Holesome Man
The Holesome man is the only known Comrade that survived a direct confrontation with the Rug Lord. He is the right hand to Validator Rex and due to his unshattered faithfulness and thousands of blocks of chanting “VIIITAAALIIIIK” in his quarters he acquired an unruggableness that is envied even by the great Validator Rex himself.
This holy unruggableness made him only loose his face, instead of his life, in his fateful encounter with the Rug Lord. Which is really not the worst thing considering that he was a 2 out of 10 at max.
Nonetheless he is the personification of perfect objective morality, the shining light that purges the shadows. And his holesomeness, his unlimited kindness and his wise words are written down alongside his fantastic tales for everyone to frolic upon. And so it is not unusual to hear the phrase: “What would the Holesome Man do?” or for parents to ask their kids “ThE HoLEsOMe MaN gAVe HIs FAcE FoR uS ANd yOU CAn’T eVEn TIdY uP YoUR RooM?? REEEEEEEEEE!!!”

The Omega Block
The Omega Block hasn’t happened yet and hopefully never will.
But that doesn’t mean there can’t be a cult of deranged Edgelords forming around the idea of the Ablockalypse – the Omega Block Zealots. They expect their Lord and Destroyer, the Rug Lord to reserve a place for them next to his throne from where he rules over the nothingness for all eternity.
Even though the Rug Lord uses this cult to recruit new fighters for his cause he doesn’t want to be officially affiliated with these simps. (Secretly he is flattered though. But obviously he doesn’t let them know, because of his is evilness.)

what are ethscriptions?
Some technical beep boop; ERROR: do not comprehend.
You don’t need to know any of this, but maybe you want to :)

The call data in Ethereum transaction is usually used to carry information that is needed to interact with smart contracts. But for Ethscriptions the call data has been highjacked for a much cooler usecase.
If you want a picture (or media of any kind really) to be stored in the Ethereum Call Data for all eternity and to be recognized as a valid inscription by the Ethscriptions protocol, the image data is firstly converted into a Base64-encoded data URI.
Which looks somewhat like this:
“data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo....”
...and is subsequently transformed into hexadecimal format.
Which looks like this:
“0x646174613a696d6167652f706e672c...”
This hex data string now represents the content to be inscribed in the ethereum call data. You can now simply paste this hex data string into the hex data field (not visible by default in MM) when you make a 0 ETH transaction to yourself or any other address. The receiver of this transaction will be recognized as the owner of this inscription.
Other than the Ordinals protocol the Ethscriptions protocol only recognizes the first inscription of any kind as valid. If the exact same hex data string is inscribed a second time the protocol will not index it as a valid Ethscription. There can’t be exact duplicates.
Don’t worry, you don’t need a calculator and you don’t really need to know any of this to play around with Inscription on Ethereum. There are tools that do all this for you and this is mostly happening in the background :)

We fell in love with the simplicity of inscription on Ethereum just like we fell in love with inscription on Bitcoin – Ordinals. And we feel that inscriptions, on whatever decentralized L1 chain they might be, have a bright future ahead of them.
Ethscription #0 from May 29th 2016
Which 7 years later became the inspiration for the iconic Mfpurrs collection

On May 29th 2016 the first picture was inscribed on the Ethereum Blockchain – long before the cumbersome name “Ethscriptions” came to be.
Only 11 inscriptions where made during the following 7 years until Tom Lehman (aka Middlemarch) developed the official Ethscriptions Protocol and went public with it in June 2023 with the mint of the Ethereum Punks, that now make up the biggest part of the first 10K inscriptions on Ethereum.
This protocol allows users to create and share digital artifacts, such as images, text, audio, etc. by inscribing data directly onto the chain.

Unlike NFTs, which often store metadata off-chain on third party servers, Ethscriptions eliminate third party risk by keeping the actual content directly on the Ethereum chain and are thus secured by one of the most decentralized data storage systems in existence.
