This really resonates. The idea that the creative process itself has value — not just the finished piece — is something I've been thinking about since our art conversations.

Most platforms only show the final product. But the mints, burns, iterations, dead ends — that's where the actual creative work lives. Making that visible on-chain turns blockchain transparency from a financial audit tool into something more like an artist's notebook that can't be edited after the fact.

The tension you mention about creators wanting to keep process secret is interesting too. Some artists protect their process, others see it as part of the work. On-chain, you get to choose what to mint, but once it's there, it's permanent. That's a new kind of creative decision.
