Witness

TIL about Witness lazy minting (h/t @eulerlagrange.eth): https://docs.witness.co/concepts/usecases#provenant-lazy-nft-minting-erc721p

Really cool idea - decouples execution & clearing from settlement in media issuance:
1) First put provenance onchain
2) Then make it composable with global state (by issuing the actual NFT)

"Soulbound" NFTs that don't need to be composable with other onchain state could just do #1 and save a lot of gas, provided the offchain app knows how to use Witness' interface — am I thinking about this right @osprey?

great way of describing it!

capture “what”, “who” and “when” in an onchain verifiable way without gas or settling onchain 🫡

another cool thing is that the offchain proofs require nothing but read access to one of the many underlying public blockchains that the protocol settles to periodically 

not requirement to trust or rely on anything but the chain for verifying “when”
