- Last chance for these mints
GM
Welcome to the 16 new subs that joined yesterday.
Just in time for the launch of my $YUNG memecoin.
It's been my life's dream to launch this token ever since I saw this article Saturday showing how easy it is to do.
Next stop: the moon.
(obviously issa joke, please don't ask for pre-sale)
(seriously, it's not real don’t ask)
In today’s edition:
Your last chance for these drops
Our updated NFT rankings
Freshly found drops
More info on Mint/Watch lists HERE.
The Mint or Skip Genesis pass is coming soon.
You can register now to get it. All newsletter subs are on the WL!
It’s made for collectors who never want to miss another drop – what I wish I had when I was entering the NFT space.
Your last chance for these drops
We highlight drops every day at Mint or Skip HQ. But as they say, knowing is just half the battle.
The rest is figuring out how to actually buy these things. This often involves combing through poorly organized announcements across Twitter or Discord, and then jumping through a weird assortment of hoops, winning raffles, solving Rubik's cubes, we’ve seen it all.
Luckily, Your Most Generous Author has done the homework.
Here are WL events in the next 7 days for drops we’ve covered in the past:
Symbiogenesis
WL deadline: May 9
Mint date: TBD
Tier: Mint List
Square Enix, the publisher of Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider franchises, is set to launch an NFT called Symbiogenesis on Polygon this spring.
There is a giveaway for “silver cards” during an AMA taking place inside the discord on May 9th, 8:30 PM EDT.
It’s unclear what silver cards do at this stage, or if they qualify for WL, but it’s within the realm of possibility.
”Silver cards” are also being given out via a sticker contest in the discord. Winning stickers get 1 silver card, and another 10 silver cards are being raffled among people who take part in the voting. Contest ends on May 14th, 8:00 PM EDT.
Killer Acid
WL deadline: May 10
Mint date: May 11
Tier: Watchlist
Killer Acid is back with 3 more editions of his signature trippy art on Chain/Saw.
A snapshot of BlEu ShrOOm holders on May 10 grants them a free claim on Wen Lambo (one of the 3 editions). The mint will be fully allowlisted.
EET
WL deadline: May 11
Mint date: TBD
Tier: Unranked
Acclaimed Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang and pseudonymous crypto art collective Kanon are launching an NFT oracle experience called EET.
They’re giving out 1,000 WL spots through this premint raffle ending on May 11th, 12:00 AM EDT.
Nike Swoosh
WL deadline: May 12
Mint date: May 15
Tier: Mint List
Nike is set to release its first .SWOOSH drop, the Our Force 1 Collection, which pays homage to the Air Force 1 sneaker series.
WL phase 1 is for people who received an OF1 poster airdrop last week.
WL phase 2 is first-come-first-serve if supplies last, open to everyone registered on the dotSWOOSH website. This begins 48 hours after phase 1.
SWOOSH approval took us 2-3 days when we registered – so we would highly recommend doing this by May 12th to be safe.
Swoops SSN1
WL deadline: May 14
Mint date: May 17
Tier: Unranked
Swoops is a strategy-focused basketball simulation game where players can build their own team to compete against others for cash prizes.
Early Access: First phase, available only to current Swoops holders if one holds the NFT before May 14th. 2 NFTs max per wallet.
Presale: Available only for people that register for it on the project’s website. 5 NFTs max per wallet.
code.lawless Phase 2
WL deadline: May 15
Mint date: May 17
Tier: Unranked
Ponderware (Mooncat’s team) is back with the second phase of their cryptic code.lawless project. This one will be an 8,192 supply, 0.08192 ETH mint for lawless characters.
According to the mint FAQs, “Priority access will be given to those who have participated in the code.lawless ecosystem” with “preparations” starting on May 15th, implying the use of transponders via the on-chain mechanics on the project’s website.
Beeple mystery goat project
WL deadline: May 11
Airdrop date: TBD
Tier: Watchlist (added today)
Beeple tweeted this morning saying that he’s launching a goat-related airdrop raffle. I’m as confused as you are.
But to get in on it you need to hold a Beeple NFT by the time they take a snapshot on May 11, 12 PM EDT.
