Mint Fee Timed Open Editions
Market Model #5

collectors ... mint fee protocol mint fee creator open edition — no supply cap, time bound

Remove the supply cap and the large price tag. Collectors pay a small protocol-level mint fee — often fractions of a dollar. Open edition, but time bound: anyone can mint during the window, and the edition closes when time expires.

The mint fee is the product. Revenue scales with reach. A creator doesn't need to sell one NFT for 10 ETH — 100,000 mints at a nominal fee can earn the same or more. Incentive shifts from artificial scarcity to maximum distribution.
