The primitive.

full primer →

Photographers mint each photo authenticity as a native Hedera Token Service NFT pointing at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp are provable from a single HashScan link.

Why this primitiveNFT provenance mint creates immutable proof of original photo creation linked to IPFS.

Kernel
a Hedera Token Service NFT minted with TokenMintTransaction, pointing at an IPFS CID, with no Solidity required
Drives the UI as
a 'mint to claim authorship' button that returns the serial number, owner account and HashScan link
