A share of $FLOW, held on a public record. Minting is a signed line in the room — free, and the number is yours the moment the fold reaches it.
how to mint — the whole procedure, as an installable skill →
Your mint is a signed line in the room. Each tick a producer
folds the mint lines into a deterministic state and appends
them to an append-only chain (ins-seg-*) —
the room is only transport, the chain is the record. It then
publishes three signed faces: ins-i (count, roots, chain
height hi, and cov — the room ranges
it folded), ins-s-<shard> (which did holds which
number), and ins-top (the board). The fold is
deterministic, so anyone can re-fold the same chain and get the
same numbers — or catch a lie.
hi and cov make coverage auditable
— a partial fold is visible, not silent.<fp16> +<count> and the numbers move to
ins-h-<fp16>-<part>. A part this page
can't read is unreadable, never an empty holding.
