FAQ

PUBLIC MINT FAQ

When is the Public Mint?
Thu 3/23/23 at 12pm est.

Can anyone participate in the Public Mint?
Yes.

What is the Public Mint price?
Dutch auction starting at 1Ξ and dropping by 0.1Ξ every 10 minutes until a resting price of 0.01Ξ

How do I mint as part of the Public Mint?
Go to the Nakamigos official site (Nakamigos.io) for the official link to mint and connect your wallet on 3/23/23 (starting at 12pm est).

Can I use a minting wallet for the Public Mint?
Yes. You can use basically whatever wallet you wish (except multi-sig wallets).

Can I mint from a smart contract or multi-sig wallet such as gnosis safe?
No. (This helps prevents bot activity)

What is the max number of tokens that can be minted per transaction?
10

Is there a max number of tokens per wallet?
No.

Will there be an instant reveal?
Yes. (It may take a few moments to refresh).

How many Nakamigos will be available for the Public Mint?
At least several thousand. It depends how many are minted the day before during the Early Access Mint. There will be 20,000 total Nakamigos, and approximately 17,000 are available for early access. It’s possible some people who qualify for Early Access Mint will not claim their Nakamigos – those will then be available as part of the Public Mint.

Will the mint have provable fairness (randomness) in which Nakamigos are minted?
Yes. This will be set up by the development team at WestCoastNFT and will be publicly available and provable.

Is Premint registration required to mint?
No. We considered this option but decided the best approach is to enable anyone to participate in the mint. Those who registered on Premint were entered into a raffle for 200 spots to mint a free Nakamigo during the Early Access Mint. The full allow list for Early Access is here.


EARLY ACCESS MINT FAQ

When is the Early Access Mint?
Wed 3/22/23 from 12pm – 4pm est.

Who can participate in the Early Access Mint?
Any wallet that held an ‘end of sartoshi’ (aka eos pass) from a snapshot taken 1/27/23 at 1:50pm est plus early access winners. The full allow list for Early Access is here.

What is the Early Access Mint price?
Free.

How do I mint as part of the Early Access Mint?
Go to the Nakamigos official site (Nakamigos.io) for the official link to mint and connect your wallet on 3/22/23 from 12pm – 4pm est.

I had multiple eos tokens in the 1/27/23 snapshot – can I mint multiple Nakamigos?
Yes. You can mint 1 Nakamigo per eos token from the snapshot. (If you had 1 eos token in the snapshot, you can mint 1 Nakamigo. If you had 17 eos tokens in the snapshot, you can mint 17 Nakamigos.)

If I have eos tokens from the 1/27/23 snapshot, do I need to register at Premint or do anything else to be eligible to mint?
No. Premint registration was purely optional and entered registrants into a raffle to win a free mint during Early Access Mint.

Can I use a delegated minting wallet via delegate.cash?
Yes. If you held eos tokens in a wallet during the 1/27/23 snapshot and wish to delegate a different wallet for minting, you can do so at the official delegate.cash site. Note that you will need to delegate for the entire eos contract or your entire vault wallet. (The option to delegate for specific tokens will not be supported).

I didn’t have eos tokens in the 1/27/23 snapshot, but I have eos tokens now. Can I use those for the Early Access Mint?
No. You can participate in the Public Mint. (The snapshot rewards eos holders from before the announcement of the partnership with Nakamigos).

Can I use the same wallet from the eos snapshot for the Public Mint?
Yes, if you want to (as long as it is not a multi-sig wallet).

Will there be an instant reveal?
Yes. (It may take a few moments to refresh). Also, there will be no risk of unrevealed rare Nakamigos being “sniped.”

How many Nakamigos will be available for the Early Access Mint?
Approximately 17,000 (any unclaimed will become available for Public Mint). The full allow list for Early Access Mint is here.
