# Genesis Autographers

Before a single Alpha G.O.A.T is airdropped, before the community ever saw a signature onchain, there were six individuals who left their mark.

These are the **Genesis Autographers:** the first six signers to ever inscribe Alphaglyphs onto Alpha G.O.A.Ts. Their signatures represent the foundational layer of provenance, culture, and vision that defines the collection. Each Genesis Autographer contributed a unique Alphaglyph, hand-signed to a limited set of Alpha G.O.A.Ts based on rarity tier. This historic pre-airdrop inscription marks the official beginning of the Alphaglyph protocol.

The Genesis Autographers are more than just participants. They are symbolic gatekeepers of Alpha Labs' origin. Their early involvement anchors the project in real, verifiable action from real individuals. They helped define what it means to leave a mark on culture, and in doing so, established the first examples of Alphaglyphs as meaningful digital artifacts.

The assignment structure follows a tiered rarity format:

* One signer covered **all six tiers**
* Another signed **five tiers**
* The next signed **four**, and so on

So Common Alpha G.O.A.Ts are airdropped with 1 collected Alphaglyphs, and Legendary Alpha G.O.A.Ts are airdropped with 6 collected Alphaglyphs.

This creats a natural signature pyramid across the collection, a visual and cryptographic hierarchy that future signatures will build upon, but never overwrite.

Who are these 6 mysterious figures? Stay tuned, the big reveal is closer than you might think!
