The Collection
What Zero to Hero Academy actually is, and what makes it different.
Zero to Hero Academy is the flagship collection of the Zero to Hero universe. Every piece is an original character built by Archetype Studios, and the story is the same for all of them: they show up as nobodies and claw their way toward legend. Owning one is your seat inside that world as it grows across collectibles, games, and animation.
Most digital collectibles freeze the second you buy them. Yours will not. Your hero keeps changing over time as new gear and traits drop, as you restyle it, and as you earn rewards for showing up. The version you claim on day one is a starting point, not a finish line.
No. It is 100% hand-drawn, and that is the whole point. Every character, outfit, and trait is drawn by real artists, and each new form and gear piece is redrawn to fit properly instead of pasted on. We are also bringing in guest artists from across the space to design new drops, so the collection stays hand-crafted the whole way through.
The collection is a fixed supply, so the number of heroes never grows. What keeps expanding is what each hero can do, through drops, collabs, and events. The count stays locked while the world around it keeps getting deeper.
Gender Swap & the Closet
One hero, both forms, and a wardrobe you control.
Every hero comes as both a male and a female version, and you can switch between them anytime. This is not a filter or a recolor. Each form is fully drawn on its own, so an outfit is re-tailored to fit each one the right way. One character, two complete looks, always your call.
The Closet is where you style your hero. Every outfit, trait, and gear piece you own lives there, and you mix and match them to build the look you want. Change it as often as you like. Your hero updates to match whatever you set.
No. Swapping forms or changing your look never burns anything. Everything you own stays in your Closet permanently, and you can put it back on whenever you want. Nothing you earn or collect gets consumed by styling.
Yes. There is no cooldown and no cost to restyle. Open the Closet, pick from what you own, and your hero updates. The look you commit to is the one that shows in the gallery until you change it again.
Events & the Pass
How drops get earned, and what the Hero Pass is for.
Events run for five days. Each hero you hold earns you a spin, and every spin can land tickets. Tickets go into a daily draw, so the more heroes you hold and the more you show up across the five days, the more chances you stack. Winners get gear and drops sent straight to their heroes.
The Hero Pass is a monthly membership for your hero. Every month, 10 to 15 brand-new traits drop straight to your wallet, and hold more passes and each one earns even more. It's the simplest way to keep your hero leveling up instead of standing still. See the Hero Pass page for the full breakdown.
No. Plenty of gear and traits come free just from holding a hero and showing up to events. The Hero Pass and paid drops are optional ways to get more, faster, but the base collection keeps growing for every holder without spending extra.
Getting Started & Wallets
What you need, how to connect, and how to get a hero.
Any standard Ethereum wallet works. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, or a WalletConnect-compatible app will all do the job. If you have never set one up, MetaMask is the easiest place to start. Have it ready and you can hold a hero, connect to the site, and manage your Closet.
You hit Connect, pick your wallet, and approve the connection. That is it. Connecting just lets the site read which heroes you hold so your gallery and Closet load. It never moves funds on its own, and you approve anything that does.
Zero to Hero Academy is on Ethereum. Your heroes, traits, and gear all live there, which means they work with the wallets and tools you already know.
You get one straight from the collection with your Ethereum wallet, or pick one up from another holder on the secondary market. Once a hero is in your wallet, you can connect to the site, style it in the Closet, and jump into events. Our Discord and X are the best places to find the current links and get help.
