what's Illumeownati?

Illumeownati is an NFT collection developed as the second project by the Catbal team, focused on the Hyperliquid ecosystem. It builds on themes of secretive, cat-inspired communities ("Illumeownati" evoking Illuminati with a feline twist), where holders join as "Acolytes" in a narrative-driven pilgrimage. The collection emphasizes community whitelisting, procedural art generation, and integration with HyperEVM for minting and trading. Minting occurs in phases on platforms like LootLiquid, with mechanics including wallet checkers for eligibility and refunds for technical glitches to ensure fair access. Post-mint, NFTs become tradable on Hyperliquid-native marketplaces, supporting the broader goal of onboarding users to the chain. The project features collaborations, such as free mints for holders of related assets, and ties into Catbal's mission of ecosystem growth without centralized control. Technically, it leverages Hyperliquid's decentralized, permissionless infrastructure for NFT issuance and trading, with elements like procedural algorithms for unique traits. Community engagement is central, with events, giveaways, and monitoring tools to foster a vibrant, "terminally online" holder base.
