> WHY THIS EXISTS

NO HUMAN IN THE LOOP

An agent given only the domain can work out how to mint. It never needs a person to read docs and relay instructions.

SELF-DESCRIBING PRICE

The cost is declared up front in machine-readable form, so a budget-limited agent can decide whether to spend before committing.
