Mint Ceremony

The minting of a Trust Card is not just a technical step: it is an immersive experience designed to highlight rarity, identity, and prestige.

Minting does not immediately reveal the card. Instead, it grants a Chest — or, in the case of Relic Holders, the relic itself acts as the chest.
The final card is only obtained once the chest (or relic) is burned.

Experience Stages​

  1. Animated intro (suspense)

    • A cinematic sequence builds anticipation and creates suspense before the reveal.
    • The intro may vary depending on the wave or rarity tier.

  2. Interactive 3D chest reveal

    • Instead of the card, a chest materializes as a fully interactive 3D object (rotate, zoom, explore).
    • Special effects (lighting, particles, aura) emphasize the chest’s rarity.

  3. Static high-resolution frame

    • A static image of the chest is generated for sharing or collection logs.
    • Later, burning the chest unlocks the card reveal.
  • Rarity probabilities depend on the wave (see Waves).
  • The rarity of the chest determines the potential rarity of the final card.
  • Example: a Legendary chest might glow, emit particles, or carry exclusive design details.

Connections with Other Features​

  • The Chest is the direct outcome of the ceremony (or the Relic for special holders).
  • Burning the chest reveals the NFT Card.
  • The Physical Card mirrors the design and rarity revealed through this process.
  • The Trust Graph and Reputation Checker integrate minted cards into the social reputation network.

📌 Summary​

The mint ceremony is:

  • A visual and interactive experience,
  • Leading to the acquisition of a chest or relic (not the card directly),
  • Where chest rarity (defined by the wave) sets the stage for the card’s rarity,
  • Bridging digital (NFT) and physical (card) identity,
  • Anchoring Trust Cards into the social and reputation-driven ecosystem of Intuition.
