what is an nft receipt — and is it useful?

Each hat leaves seoul with a number. That number is recorded on a public ledger, tied to the wallet that paid for it. This record is what people mean when they say nft receipt.

It is not a certificate of authenticity in the traditional sense, and it is not the hat itself. It sits closer to a proof of transaction that cannot be edited after the fact, not by us, not by anyone.

what it actually does

A paper receipt can be lost, altered, or never issued in the first place. A ledger entry sits in the same place indefinitely, checkable by anyone who has the number. For a maker producing one item, in small runs, that permanence carries more weight than it would for a shop moving thousands of the same thing.

It also settles a quiet question — which hat is which, and who owns which one — without a database on our end that could go offline or be quietly rewritten.

Is it useful. Mostly it is proof, worn lightly. The hat sits on your head; the record sits in your wallet. Current run is here: little bit seoul.
