# Sovereign Minting Contracts

![](/files/-MhJprVhU0-UTRdlda_6)

While Spaces are a valuable new option for artists who want to collaborate, SuperRare 2.0 also remains true to its origin as a place for independent artists to mint, promote and sell their works directly to collectors.

Designed as a non-custodial, peer-to-peer platform - one of the most powerful aspects of SuperRare historically has been that it allows artists to take control of their creative and economic destinies. SuperRare 2.0 doubles down on this philosophical conviction by introducing a new minting option: self-sovereign minting contracts.

If an artist chooses to, they can easily deploy a custom NFT minting contract and begin tokenizing and selling their art as a uniquely independent artist on SuperRare. 

This enables artists a new option in addition to minting on a shared contract with other artists. A custom smart contract provides artists with their own customizable ticker (e.g. ROSES), and is a further step toward artists being able to become their own sovereign creative platform.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.superrare.com/whitepapers/master/the-next-generation-nft-platform/sovereign-minting-contracts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
