Free Mint
Gas-only NFT minting for whitelisted users
Free Mint Campaign
Campaign design: The new core contract specification does not confirm a deployed Genesis or growth campaign, current launch status, quotas, early-adopter bonuses, or automated milestone funding. Check the published campaign configuration. The ordinary cycle’s five free positions are described separately in collection mechanics.
The Free Mint campaign rewards whitelisted community members with the opportunity to mint FOS Digital Collectibles by paying only network gas fees.
Eligibility
Requirement: You must complete the Whitelist first.
Only verified whitelisted users can participate in the Free Mint phase.
How It Works
- Complete Whitelist: Finish all whitelist requirements
- Wait for Window: Free Mint opens after whitelist phase closes
- Connect Wallet: Use the same wallet from your whitelist registration
- Mint: Pay only Robinhood Chain network gas fees (no NFT price)
- Receive NFT: Your Fos Digital Collectible is sent to your wallet
What You Pay
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| NFT Price | $0 (Free) |
| Gas Fee | Variable (Robinhood Chain; check wallet estimate) |
Total Cost: Network gas only
Benefits
Same Utility as Paid NFTs
The campaign must publish which features its Genesis NFTs have; do not assume they enter a Processor cycle. Proposed features include:
- Any eligibility for a Processor cycle requires explicit campaign rules
- Full provenance registration
- Same artwork and metadata
- On-chain ownership verification
Early Adopter Bonus
An early-adopter allocation was proposed in the older roadmap; counts, tiers, and eligibility require published campaign confirmation.
Permanent Provenance
Your original minter status is permanently recorded on-chain.
Limits
- One per wallet: Each wallet can only participate once
- Time window: Free Mint is only available for a limited period
- First come, first served: Allocations may be limited
Technical Details
The Free Mint uses a Merkle Tree allowlist system:
- Your wallet address is verified against the whitelist
- Anti-bot protection with cooldown periods
- Transaction signing confirms your identity
