That makes sense. So this is really interesting. It gets us into the menting process, because when you first launched this, you had to go out and find, you had everything in place to go and mint these, right? But it would cost you gas to do so. And so what was the process like? I mean, back and 20, 18, did anyone care to even go on menthe sike. How many were being mented? What did that what did that look like?

It was super slow. Super, super slow. At first. The project has been through waves of interest overtime, not all of them clear on how they got started, right? But at the beginning it was super, super slow, like salo painting, you know, every couple of weeks. And we ing up and down, like, ye, some ot, some one found creep tote, right? And the other aspect is it actually, the way the contract works, i'm actually the only one that can mint. The contract owner is the only one allowed to miant al. So interesting. Ye, yes. So it works a little bit different than most contracts are nowadays. O most projects, right? Like the tipigal tank, a p te project that you see, ar, they're right? Like you were, uses can go on mint right? And everyone is hating the same en point and minting something, bramdaly, and then they get token, right? Which is great, but that is not how this one works, right? So i'm the only one that can mint. So over time, i be minting, until recently, tho as going a different speed depending on the mand and

for for how would that work? Would you have some one come to you in the web side and say, ok, i would like to purchase one of the s? And then they would send you eath, and they knew you would go and mend them one meannally.

Ya, so a, at the beginning, what i did, as i meant it probably been o 20 or 30, forty, i forgot how many may you had, rid, right? And ilisted those on the side, the whole galleries on the side, but am sorry. I listed those on open sea, right? So the contract is interoperable with open sea. And i did that integration api with ten buck ten, right? They were one of the yfolgs. I ug them, right? Tan. Then other platforms started coming out too. But i talked to dabs there. They were superhelful. Anbot working with them. And they gave me a couple of teeps. And one of the things i realize is like a bill in the auction mechanism is actually really hard. And as going to take a lot of fare fora i want to focus more on the art, right? And so whut i did as i build a contract. I meant it a bunch, and then i would milly go and lest them at open sea to sell them. Theyre right? Ti, they were my store front of sworts. And then eventually i build my own contract. So i have a second contract that' a sales contract. And that contract is actually very simple. Is also verified. And the way it works is musandid et and you execute the purchase a token a function, and then it transfers te token to you until basically your purchasing token instead of minting it, if that's make sense. I sae.
