Guides

Short explainers for reading NFT marketplace history.

These guides support the encyclopedia. They explain shutdowns, archives, frontends, contracts, metadata, and continuity signals without turning Minted & Gone into a general NFT blog.

Guides are registry-support pages. They do not determine asset ownership, market safety, investment value, or legal status.

How to read these guides

They explain uncertainty instead of hiding it

NFT marketplace history is uneven. A domain can disappear while archived pages remain. A marketplace frontend can close while contracts or wallet-visible assets remain readable elsewhere. Minted & Gone uses guides to explain those differences before readers inspect individual records.

What may be goneFrontend, listings, collection pages, search, account surfaces, or original domains.
What may remainContracts, metadata, wallet visibility, third-party marketplace paths, archives, or community forks.
What remains uncertainAsset handling, successor paths, exact dates, and current frontend behavior may need more source review.

Later guide candidates

v0.5 expansion

  • More guide candidates can be added after validation and internal linking work.

This guide layer should stay registry-support focused and avoid broad NFT blogging.
