21+## Olfactive Identity
22+
23+An Olif is an olfactive rendering of Urbit address space. This project intends to map all Urbit address space to a unique combination of
24+accessible and defined fragrant materials.
25+
26+While @p's can be said and sigils can be seen, an Olif will need a substrate to be smelled. Given the physical limitations inherent in
27+consuming scent, this project will also create the infrastructure needed to provide physical products relating to an Olif. This will include
28+both online and physical points of purchase for current owners of address space as well as providing sale of fragrance products with new
29+planets to those that want to join the network. Doing so will create a unique opportunity for in-person onboarding to Urbit.
30+
31+The Olif formulas and material library will be publicly available for individuals to recreate independently. Both will be available on
32+[Github](https://github.com/Olif-ID) as well as an urbit group, hosted by the first milestone's rewarded star.
33+
34+## Objectives
35+
36+ - Expand the possible ways of rendering Urbit address space.
37+ - Introduce a subculture of fragrance and olfaction to Urbit.
38+ - Become a physical location that introduces non-martians to Urbit through retail product and smell.
39+
40+## How We Think About Address Space
41+
42+Currently, Urbit IDs are conveyed verbally and visually. A @p coordinates a phonetic, verbal representation of address space in a way a
43+sigil doesn't (practically at least). Sigils offer great visual representation that are impractical to visualize when said out loud.
44+However, a @p also offers an effective visual representation of an Urbit ID.
45+
46+An Olif will require some redundant rendering of address space to help convey the unique characteristics of smell. Without physical access
47+to an Olif's fragrant parts it would be impractical to share a simple character representation of, for instance, the material list. In
48+addition, each Olif would benefit from a visual representation and potentially a multi-sentence description of the scent notes.
49+
50+### List of Olif renderings:
51+
52+ - Physical fragrant ingredient mixture
53+ - Ingredient list 1-16 CAS# and their relative percentages
54+ - Multi-sentence, fragrance note description
55+ - Visual/graph of the ingredients and their participation in the formula

65+## Who is Working on This
66+
67+`~litneb-maltyp` and `~bonnys-tipdyn`
68+
69+Our team of two have run a fragrance development company for the past 10 years, specializing in the design and production of fragrance
70+compounds and the products they are used in. Over that time our company has developed a comprehensive library and unique system for
71+categorizing olfactive ingredients. We have been on Urbit for just around 15 months and have participated in the 2022 Hoon School cohort.
72+
73+## Milestones
74+
75+### Milestone 1: Complete Olif Rendering System
76+
77+Estimated completion date: 09/12/22
78+
79+Payment: 1 star
80+
81+ - Prepare a system to render all Urbit address space as unique fragrance.
82+ - Create a physical product sample (starting with an alcohol spray perfume) to deliver a rendered Olif to an individual.
83+ - Create a portal (Earth website) to allow individuals to translate their address space into an Olif.
84+
85+### Milestone 2: Publish Olif At Retail
86+
87+Estimated completion date: 11/18/22
88+
89+Payment: 1 star
90+
91+- Create an opening collection of fragrances and associated Urbit-centric display, bound to the addresses received from the first milestone
92+ for public sale at Maak Lab retail stores.
93+- Build out a retail display and train employees to highlight the available Olif fragrances and act as a soft resource for Urbit engagement.
94+- The star rewarded from milestone 1 will be actively maintained to provide star sponsorship for its planets, which will be exclusively
95+ spawned in conjunction with physical Olif fragrances. The maintained star will serve as a host for open source Olif documentation and
96+ future infrastructure for the project and its community.
