Founded in 2023, Taproot Wizards is a digital asset incubation studio renowned for creating the Quantum Cats, one of the largest Ordinals collections by market capitalization. Behind Taproot Wizards are digital artists and co-founders Udi Wertheimer and Eric Wall, who are envisioned to showcase technological innovations expanding Bitcoin’s untapped capabilities, such as the OP_CAT function.

Based on the team, the highly anticipated Taproot Wizards NFT collection will feature a limited edition of 2,121 “wizard” images inspired by a meme circulated during Bitcoin’s early days. This design refers to a figure that was an unofficial symbol of the cryptocurrency. Each token features a wizard with a cloak and hat in honor of the iconic “Bitcoin Wizard” meme from 2013.

How To Mint Taproot Wizards NFTs

The highly anticipated public sale for Wizards NFT collection will occur on March 25, 2025. During the public sale, the team will release 2085 of the 2121 wizards NFT collection and secure the rest for honoraries. Since not everyone will be able to get this NFT collection due to its low supply, the team has established three ways to get this highly anticipated Bitcoin Ordinals.

NFT collectors holding a pair of dead and alive Quantum Cats can get a discounted wizard for 0.1 BTC. To get a wizard for the discounted price of 0.1 BTC, the trader must entangle his Quantum Cats on-chain. Entangling sends a pair of “dead” and “alive” Cats to the Quantum Realm, where they will be locked on-chain until a few days after the mint, but then they’ll return to their wallet automatically.

The highly awaited Taproot Wizards ordinals will be offered at a fixed price of 0.2 BTC through a whitelist. The main “Wizard School” whitelist has a mint price of 0.2 BTC and doesn’t require owning any Quantum Cats. This whitelist will include only the best of our supporters over the last 2 years who completed various quests. Lastly, a limited number of wizards will be available at a Dutch Auction, open to everyone. The auction will start at a higher price.
