The digital identity landscape is evolving, and the Cool Cats Avatar System Beta is at the forefront of this transformation. Launching on October 19, this innovative feature unlocks a new dimension of self-expression within the Cool Cats ecosystem. Whether you're a long-time holder or a newcomer, the Avatar System empowers you to craft a personalized, dynamic digital presence that evolves with you.
Meet Jo, the in-house fashion designer and creative visionary behind Feathered Fashions—the upcoming digital atelier where your avatar’s style journey begins. Jo will help curate your look, enabling you to buy, trade, and showcase your unique avatar across platforms. Let’s explore how this system works and what it means for your digital identity.
What Is the Cool Cats Avatar System?
Within the Cool Cats universe, every user—whether an OG collector or a new explorer—shares the same digital playground. The Avatar System enhances that space by letting you customize your online persona using your NFT collectibles: Cool Cats, Shadow Wolves, and Explorers.
You can personalize your avatar in full-body or profile picture (PFP) mode, complete with custom backgrounds, borders, and layered wearables like hats, shoes, and exclusive accessories such as SideKX. These avatars aren’t just for display—they’re designed to integrate seamlessly across Twitter/X, the metaverse, and future Cool Cats games.

This system transforms your NFT into a living, evolving representation of yourself—one that updates in real time as you customize it.
The Soul-Bound Avatar NFT Collection
Avatars exist as soul-bound NFTs, meaning they are non-transferable and tied directly to your wallet. Think of it as a blank canvas—a separate collection from your original NFTs—where you combine your existing assets to build a unique on-chain identity.
You remain the artist. Mix and match wearables from your Cool Cat or Shadow Wolf traits. Dress your feline in a dapper top hat or outfit your wolf with futuristic gear. The best part? These changes don’t alter the metadata of your original NFTs. Your core collectibles stay intact, preserving their rarity and value.
Because avatars are soul-bound, you can freely trade individual wearables—like jackets or hats—without risking your primary NFT. This design ensures a smooth, secure experience while encouraging creativity and customization.
When you update your avatar’s look, that change propagates instantly across connected platforms. Change your hat? Your Twitter PFP updates automatically. This cross-platform sync is powered by partner integrations that evolve with your identity.
Protecting Your Legacy: The OG Collections
We recognize the importance of preserving the legacy of original Cool Cats holders. To maintain the integrity of these foundational assets, we’ve implemented key safeguards:
- No duplication: Original Cool Cats will never be re-released or replicated.
- Trait immutability: Traits like face, shirt, or hat cannot be transferred between cats—even if you own multiple.
- Visual distinction: Avatars feature forward-facing views and unique backgrounds, clearly differentiating them from the original side-profile OG collections.
These rules ensure that your original NFTs retain their exclusivity while still allowing you to experiment freely in the avatar space.
Who Are Explorers?
Explorers serve as the default base avatars for new users entering the ecosystem through activations like merchandise drops or IRL events. Designed as accessible entry points, Explorers let newcomers experience the Avatar System before upgrading to a Cool Cat or Shadow Wolf.
Available in various colors and patterns, Explorers allow full customization with wearables. However, they do not participate in narrative-shaping roles within the ecosystem. Their purpose is simple: onboarding and exploration.
