Asset issuance & NFTs

📝 Draft. This chapter has not been reviewed yet — content may be incomplete or change.

Problem. Mint Liquid assets — including single-unit NFTs used as bearer tokens — as part of an action, and derive their asset IDs.

🚧 This recipe is a stub. Outline of what it will cover:

• The input issuance spec: kind (new / reissue), asset_amount_sat, inflation_amount_sat.
• Why an asset ID is derived from the outpoint of the issuance input, and how to reference the result as input_id.asset afterward.
• NFTs as bearer tokens (amount = 1) authorising covenant paths.
• Encoding protocol terms in an NFT's amount field via bit-packing (the lending protocol's parameter NFTs).
• Burning NFTs with OP_RETURN to prevent reuse.

See the IssueNFTs action in the lending walkthrough in the meantime.
