In the depths of his basement laboratory, Chicky, a brilliant virologist, dedicated himself to groundbreaking research. His unwavering passion centered around the manipulation of viruses using CRISPR gene editing, with the ultimate goal of rendering them harmless. However, an unfortunate oversight in his experiment led to an astonishing multiplication of the targeted gene—a thousandfold increase, to be exact. The consequences were immense, as the once manageable viruses grew to colossal proportions, posing an imminent threat.
Just as despair began to loom, a ray of hope emerged in the form of DaveTheBrave, a courageous and resourceful individual who shared a deep bond with Chicky. Armed with an advanced X-Ray blaster, DaveTheBrave stepped forward, his heart pulsating with determination. Little did he know that this impulsive act of bravery would unleash an unexpected turn of events. The powerful X-Ray blasts, intended to neutralize the looming danger, instead triggered a remarkable transformation within the viruses themselves.
From the chaos and uncertainty, a novel species emerged, now known as polygerms—a name that would resonate with the unintended consequences that brought them into existence. The laboratory, once a haven of scientific pursuit, now teemed with these virulent entities, multiplying and mutating at an alarming rate. Driven by their unbreakable bond and shared purpose, Chicky and DaveTheBrave stood firm in their resolve to contain and comprehend this unprecedented menace.
The magnitude of their mission became clear—to catch and render harmless the 10,000 polygerms that had escaped into the world. Help us save the world one polygerm at a time!

help us catch them all!
Each polygerm was created using old school, hand drawn illustration combined with advanced generative art techniques and is one-of-a-kind. All polygerms are fabulouse, but a few are rarer than others.
Here we want to say thank you to hashlips and his wonderful community witch developed the hashlips art engine and helped to create this nft collection
Polygerms are stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Polygon blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Purchasing a polygerm costs MATIC (amount to be determined).
be part of it!
You will get a unforgeable ownership inprint in your digital wallet, of a 1000 x 1000 pixel, high quality png, which represents a one of a kind unique polygerm, and last but not least the honor to help us capture all the vicious polygerms and be part of the heroic act to save the world.
be a hero, spend some matic!
In the fascinating world of polygerms, there are 10,000 different creatures with different levels of rarity, which amaze and enchant anyone who sees them. Further 10% of all polygerms wear masks, making them even more mysterious and special.
Among this varied group, there are six super rare polygerms that are legendary treasures, sought after by adventurers and collectors. These elusive creatures inspire stories and curiosity, and their scarcity makes them even more charming and desirable.
the legendary´s are yours!
We’ve set up some goals for ourselves. When we hit a sell target, we will begin to work on realizing the stated goals.
We are one artist and one scientist. DaveTheBrave and chicky, bored and inspired by the pandemic, we wanted to create something new together and see where it takes us. This is how BasementGenetics was born almost 3 years ago with the idea of combining art and science. Our first project is the laboratory accident that led us to polygerms. Have fun!
