[ SLANG ][ NFT_TRADING ][ NOUN ]
The scramble among multiple wallets to be among the first to successfully mint a new limited NFT drop, distinct from a mint queue by being a competitive real-time rush rather than an orderly planned sequence.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Lost the mint race by literally one transaction, block was already full by the time it confirmed."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'race' from competitive-timing language, extending 'mint-ledger'/'mint-queue' into an explicitly adversarial framing.
