Once upon a time 3 Based Baristas started a Coffee Universal Profile (CUP) community. Although they were only three, they knew their collective brew would energize an ecosystem. Embodying the ethos of crypto culture they decided to smart contract brew base64 encoded scalable vector graphics into images of coffee beans, intended to energize everyone who woke UP early.

To begin, they created a Coffee Shop, which served as a place for the community to find Common Ground. After 420 people lined !UP outside the shop, the doors opened and 4,200 “GM Beans” were minted out into the LUKSO blockchain.

As more and more people began to wake up, the community grew into the hundreds. The 3 Based Baristas had grown a smol community, into a Collective. To celebrate this evolution, CUP held a grand event. They showcased a special machine that would !BREW (1) “Based Barista” per (1) “GM Bean”, each Barista carrying forward flavor traits from the bean that claimed it. In the absence of a GM Bean, the machine didn't stop, it continued to !BREW 4,200 additional Based Baristas.

Wen the Mystical Machine finally finished, 411 traits consisting of 8,400 individually unique and immutably Based Baristas were minted with one single goal to !BREW the FUTURE.
