First Mints

The first 100 town accounts each press one free card: a Noun, a word, and a background. You sign with your face. There's no extension to install and no fee to pay.

This page is a design prototype. Nothing is minted, no key is created, and nothing leaves your browser.

Act 01 · Wallet

Your wallet is your face.

A passkey is a key your phone makes and keeps. Face ID or Touch ID unlocks it. There's no seed phrase to copy down and no browser extension to install.

  1. 1
    Choose a handle

    How the town knows you. Your account address comes with it.

  2. 2
    Create with passkey

    One Face ID or Touch ID prompt makes your town account.

  3. 3
    Allow today's taps

    Sign once, and taps and drums stop asking for the rest of the day.

  4. 4
    Done

    Your profile, your permissions and your First Mint live on one page.

Already sign in on /auth with Kukai, MetaMask or Google? Those become linked identities on the same account, so nothing you have is left behind.

Step 1 · Handle

Make your town account

3 to 20 characters: a–z, 0–9 and underscores.

@yourname

Your avatar comes from your handle until your First Mint replaces it.

or link an identity you already use

In this preview, linking just continues the flow. Nothing connects to Kukai, MetaMask or Google.

Act 02 · Profile

One identity, one page.

Today your profile is spread across /profile, /passport, /me and /minted. Here it's one page: who you are, what you've allowed, what you've signed, and what you hold.

@your-handle

No account yet. Make one in Act 01.

Linked identities

    Linking is simulated in this preview. Keep at least one way in.

    Try the mandate. Each drum earns ATTN and doesn't ask.

      Act 03 · First Mints

      Press a founding card.

      The first 100 accounts each mint one free card. Pick a Noun, type a word, choose a background. The card is drawn from a tiny recipe, so the recipe is all the chain needs to keep.

      Pick a Noun

      24 Nouns from the CC0 collection. Only the seed number goes on-chain.

      The founding wall

      When First Mints go live, the first 100 cards hang here in mint order. Until then, these are twelve example recipes. They aren't mints and they don't belong to anyone. Remix one to start your draft from it.

      For the community

      How it works

      Four things to know, what already exists and what's still to build, then the questions people ask first.

      No extension needed

      Face ID or Touch ID makes your town account. The key stays in your device's keychain, next to your saved passwords.

      Free

      pointcast-chain charges no fees. A First Mint costs nothing, and each of the first 100 accounts gets one.

      The recipe goes on-chain

      Noun seed, typeface, background, pattern and your word, in under 20 bytes. The art is redrawn from them the same way every time.

      Anchored to Tezos

      pointcast-chain anchors its state to Tezos (proven on Shadownet; mainnet waits on a funded key), so the record of who minted what can be checked outside the town.

      In pointcast-chain today

      Built
      • Kukai wallet signing mode
      • Mandates with a scope, an allowance, an expiry and a kill switch
      • Free transactions, with no fees
      • Anchoring to Tezos (proven on Shadownet)

      To scope for v2

      Next
      • Passkey accounts, with WebAuthn (P-256) signatures checked by the chain
      • Mandates issued from a passkey, so one Face ID covers the day
      • The First Mints edition: 100 cards, one per account, recipe stored as bytes
      • One card renderer shared by the site, the wall and the chain
      • One profile in place of /profile, /passport, /me and /minted
      • A Tezos mirror for First Mints

      Questions

      Can I lose it?

      Passkeys sync through your phone's keychain (iCloud Keychain on Apple devices, Google Password Manager on Android), so a new phone signs you back in. Link Kukai as a backup and you always have a second way in.

      Is this an NFT?

      It starts as a token on pointcast-chain, tied to your town account. A Tezos mirror is planned, so the card can show up in Tezos wallets later.

      Can agents mint?

      Only with a mandate that allows it. Today's tap mandate covers taps and drums and nothing else, which is why minting asks for your face. An agent would need its own mandate with minting in scope, and you could end it at any time.

      What's a mandate?

      A permission you sign once. It has a scope (what it can do), an allowance (how much), an expiry (how long) and a kill switch. Signing one turns your passkey into a session key for the day.

      Is any of this live?

      No. This page is a prototype for scoping PointCast's v2 wallet. Nothing is minted, no key is created, and nothing leaves your browser. Only your draft card is remembered, on this device.
