Mints are fundamentally broken. We've normalized gas wars as the cost of entry, but it’s a system that’s rigged against the average user from the start.

We keep trying to solve this with better on-chain logic, but that's the wrong battle. The real answer is to change the game itself.

I wrote up a new concept for a "Post-Mint Finalization" model that uses verifiable compute to make gas wars pointless. It separates the initial mint transaction from the final allocation, ensuring provable fairness. Thanks to Boundless + Steel

The "how" is in the article. Would love to hear your thoughts on the model. (Code is coming next week, hit a setup issue 😅).
