So if you say

“I minted that photo”

It can mean you made a smart contract and made the photo mintable by others

AND

it can mean, you minted an edition of the photo from the contract

???

Is it confusing that “minting” means both deploying the contract as a creator and collecting the art as a collector?

hi @rickmanelius please advise regarding how art provenance onchain refers to these parties in data schemas?

If we want to get literal, think of minting gold bars w/serial numbers. Once this UUID exists, it’s minted.

When SCs are minted, it now has a storage address.

When a token is minted, it includes an additional index to refer to it.

The moment this serial number is onchain is when its provenance begins.

That said, at AF we walked back the term “minting metadata” when creating a cross-chain (Arweave) attestation. 

The mint teem was still an accurate description of usage (the Arweave TID was the start of its provenance). However, 99% think of minting as NFT ID generation, and thought we made NFTs vs attestation.
