Artifact

Artifacts are pieces from the creative process of an artist, preserved on the blockchain and collectible on Ensemble.

NFT

Edition

Editions are artifacts with a finite number of identical versions.

In an ‘Open Edition’ any number can be collected for a specific amount of time, after this the quantity is capped.

1/1

1/1s or One of Ones, are artifacts with only one version, which can have only one owner.

Contract

On Ensemble, contracts or smart contracts contain artifacts. Contracts can contain include either 1/1s or editions, but not both.

Project

Projects are groups of artifacts from an artist.

On Ensemble, collections can have two contracts within them, in the case that there are both editions and 1/1s.
