Nobody knows the grades before the reveal
A card’s grade and model derive from a hash of its number and a secret seed. Before the sale, the registry publishes only the seed’s hash (the commitment); grades stay unknown to everyone — the team included — so no number is worth sniping. On reveal day the seed is disclosed on-chain, checked against the commitment, and traits become final. Eras are the one thing readable from day one: they follow the catalogue number.
