Consensus Proto-Nucleus NFT Minting Guide

A detailed walkthrough of the four-tier rights gradient, free minting with invite-code access, and how to become an early Builder of this civilization with a first-mover advantage.

The m&W NFT is not a PFP but a rights credential—it is the key to entering the consensus gravity field, and the dividend anchor for early Builders. Total supply is 20,000 pieces across four tiers, all free to mint (FREE MINT).

The Four Tiers at a Glance

The Tiered Rights Gradient

All 20,000 pieces are free to mint (FREE MINT); you only pay on-chain gas. Tier differences are not expressed in price, but in the rights gradient mapped to token IDs—the earlier the ID, the higher the rights:

  • #21–360 Consensus Proto-Nucleus: minted with an invite code, with the deepest first-mover rights
  • #361–2000 Early Builder: doubled mining weight multiplier and super-node passive mining
  • #2001–20000 Standard Mint: all basic rights

There is no price curve—what climbs upward is the rights gradient of early participants. Rewarding early consensus believers is simply another expression of the gravity field’s screening mechanism.

Minting Process

1. Obtain an Invite Code

Starting from piece #361, every mint requires an invite code. Sources of invite codes:

  • Exclusive quotas held by Genesis Node holders
  • Consensus Proto-Nucleus (#21–360) holders are granted the right to generate invite codes
  • Your on-chain ID itself can serve as an invite code

2. Connect Your Wallet

Terminal window
# Minting contract (example): free mint, only on-chain gas required
contract.mint(inviteCode, referrer)

3. Confirm Your Rights

Once your mint succeeds, rights are automatically bound to your NFT:

  • The mining weight multiplier takes effect immediately
  • Referral rewards settle in real time
  • Super-node permissions activate according to tier

Why a “Rights Credential” Rather Than a PFP

Tokenized rights coupled with on-chain reputation (SBT): moving from traffic tax to the standardized capture of surplus value.

This means the NFT’s value comes not from secondary-market speculation, but from the rights cash flow it continuously generates inside the ecosystem—mining, dividends, governance, and incubation priority. The longer you hold, the more pronounced the compounding of those rights.
