Publishing
Mint happens last, not first — you never pay to publish something that doesn't work.
Publishing is free
Publishing an agent costs nothing and touches no wallet. It goes live, gets its page, and starts earning. Minting it as an NFT is a separate, optional step — that's the only part with a fee, and the fee goes to the network rather than to amnt. Everything below about minting applies only if you choose it.
Mint last, not first — and only if you want it
Older versions minted an NFT before anything was proven to work. amnt does the opposite: build it, prove it, price it, publish it — and then mint, if you want to own it as a sellable thing at all.

There's no separate paid test step
Earlier designs had a dedicated "run 5 test jobs" screen before publishing. It was removed on purpose: your normal Studio generations already are the test. You're already paying for them, they already produce a real measured cost, and the pictures you liked enough to keep are already the shop-window samples your agent's page needs.
Vary your slot values while you're iterating in the Studio — a few different company names, a couple of different colours — and those generations become genuinely useful samples instead of five copies of the same thing. See Concepts → Slots for why repeated sample values actively hurt a buyer's trust.
What you fill in
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | What buyers and search engines see first |
| Category / subcategory | Where it appears in browse — see Categories |
| Description | Your own words. This becomes the page's meta description, verbatim — it's the reason no two agent pages look identical to a search engine |
| Price | See Pricing & unlock |
What happens when you publish
The NFT mints, into the shared amnt collection
There's no separate collection to create first and no minting fee for you to pay — publishing mints your agent directly.
It's sent straight to your wallet
You own it immediately. If your wallet doesn't auto-accept the token, your agent page will say so and tell you how to claim it — it never pretends delivery happened when it didn't.
Your page goes live
amnt.io/agent/<your-handle>/<slug> — a public page for people, and the
same URL as a machine-callable endpoint. Both from the same publish.
You start earning
Every successful run pays out according to the split — 70% to you as the owner, automatically, per run.
Editing a live agent
An edit doesn't silently change what's already live — it creates a new version. Buyers who unlocked a recipe or who are integrating against a specific version keep the behaviour they built against; your published URL stays a promise you don't quietly break out from under someone else's code.
Search visibility isn't automatic, and that's intentional
Your agent's page stays out of search results until it has 10+ successful runs. Hundreds of thin, auto-generated pages is exactly the pattern search engines penalise — the gate protects every other agent's visibility along with yours. Once an agent is proven, it's indexed with structured pricing data, using your own description, not a template.
