ChronoForge — Forge Your Time NFTs

ChronoForge is a futuristic, time-driven NFT platform where users mint dynamic countdown NFTs called Clocks. As time passes, each Clock becomes rarer, changes appearance, and eventually evolves into a unique final form when its countdown reaches zero.

This project merges on-chain logic, dynamic metadata, and cinematic UI design to create a new kind of Web3 experience: Time is your forge. Your NFT evolves as time flows.

🌌 Features 🕰️ Dynamic Time NFTs

Each Clock NFT has:

Start timestamp

End timestamp

Theme (cyberpunk, astral, molten, minimal)

Dynamic rarity tier based on remaining time

All traits update automatically as time progresses.

✨ Real-Time Evolution
