GIFCHAIN

1. frames — the palette and every frame are written into the object trie, not to a URI. There is no off-chain file to lose.
2. traits — derived deterministically from the mint hash, so the same hash always produces the same object.
3. ownership — a single leaf in the ownership index, updated in place on every transfer.
4. root — the block carries the new object root. Once a second block builds on it, the mint is irreversible.

Mint cost is flat because storage is priced per object slot, not per byte. A 12-frame animation costs exactly what a single still frame costs.

Deploys are permissionless. Supply is sealed at deploy time and cannot be raised later, which is the only reason floor prices here mean anything.
