The veNFT Instrument

Every veLUTE lock is an NFT, and Alandale renders each one as a precision instrument drawn from the lock's live on-chain state. It's the veLUTE lock, visualized as the tool it is.

Three of the movements: Loot Hourglass, The Wanted Writ, The Plucked String

Four movements, one instrument

Each lock is assigned one of four "movements" deterministically by its token id, so a wallet full of locks reads as a varied collection:

• Escrow Chronometer: a chronometer dial whose arc fills to your remaining voting power, with a needle and a countdown to unlock.
• Loot Hourglass: sand drains from remaining "loot" to spent as the lock decays.
• The Wanted Writ: a wanted poster ("By order of the Merry Men · to be released on…") with your unlock date.
• The Plucked String: a lute string plucked into a bow whose amplitude encodes your voting power.

The Escrow Chronometer: the dial fills to your share of maximum power

Everything on the card is real data

Every element of the card is driven by the lock:

Element	Reads from
Dial arc / sand level / string amplitude	voting_amount ÷ locked_amount (your remaining share of max power)
Countdown / release date	the lock's lockEnd
∞ / "held in perpetuity"	permanent locks
Amount, voting power	the lock's on-chain balances
Token sigil (unique geometry)	derived from the token id
Status plate	ACTIVE / PERMANENT / EXPIRED

Where to find it

Your locks render as instrument cards in the Portfolio view. As a lock decays, the dial empties; when you extend or add, it fills again. The instrument is a live readout of the position, not a snapshot.
