Marketplace terms
Short definitions for reading the archive.
This glossary supports Minted & Gone records and guides. It keeps terms compact so readers can move between marketplace records, evidence notes, and methodology without turning the site into a broad NFT encyclopedia.
Glossary terms are explanatory labels for this archive. They are not legal, financial, ownership, or technical audit definitions.
