The creation of an NFT requires a number of decisions. Among them is navigating the complexity known as “The Mint Window Dilemma.” Given the constraints of mint duration and edition size, four unique mint windows emerge:

● Airdrop Mint - Characterized by a large number of NFTs minted to a single or multiple addresses during a set duration
● Infinite Mint - Often referred to as “free and forever,” this mint proves popular with collectors and remains open with no ending time
● Niche Mint - Includes 1/1s or small quantities minted in a tight time frame
● Hidden Mint - Similar to Infinite Mint, but not yet discovered by collectors

Explanation: This work explores the intriguing set of choices faced by creators when minting, as well as variables collectors might consider when making acquisitions.
