# Dutch Auction Glyph//Void mints through a Dutch auction. The price starts high and descends on a fixed schedule until it reaches a floor. There is no bidding. No competing against other collectors. You decide when the price is right for you. **The price schedule** {% embed url="" %} **The collector's decision** If you mint early you pay more but guarantee your token before supply runs out. If you wait for a lower price you risk someone else taking the last tokens. The tension between these two is the mechanism. There are no gas wars. No insider advantages. Just a price and a clock. and two phases. **What happens at mint** When you call mint, you send exactly the current price in ETH. If you send more, the excess is returned to your wallet automatically in the same transaction. Your token is generated the moment the transaction confirms. The art exists from that block forward, forever. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
