Record Acquisition Model

DinoArchive is, first and foremost, a curatorial archive.

The archival record is the primary object.

For each entry added to the archive, a certified on-chain record is issued on the Base blockchain. This on-chain record functions solely as a verifiable reference of existence, identity, and continuity for the archival record. It does not replace or define the archival content.

Acquiring a certificate is not required to access the archive. Purchasing a certificate is a voluntary way to support the project.

Mission and scarcity

Each archival entry is associated with a single unique NFT certificate.

The total number of certificates is determined exclusively by the number of entries added to the archive.

Scarcity is real and structural, resulting directly from curatorial production pace, research time, and the work required to complete each record—not from artificial mechanisms.

Listed and unlisted certificates

On-chain certificates may be listed through an NFT marketplace, directly from an official DinoArchive account, and are acquired using ETH on the Base network.

Not all certificates are listed for sale:

• Some remain unlisted as certified archival references, with no obligation to be sold.
• In certain cases, offers on unlisted certificates may be considered, provided they meet the curatorial criteria and expectations defined by DinoArchive.

Archive and on-chain record

• The archival record contains all scientific, contextual, and visual information.
• The on-chain record certifies its existence, identity, and traceability.

The archive defines the content.

The on-chain layer certifies it.
