0/ NFTs have been all the buzz on mainstream media, and with the hype comes some highly promising #NFT projects!
Projects would have public mints, where everyone can participate. But that’s not the usual case for most projects. This is where the term ‘#whitelist’ comes in!
1/ Think of whitelisting as an early access ticket to mint NFTs, to jump the queue that’ll happen in a public mint.
2/ However, these are usually given to a select group of individuals. But all is not lost! Here’s how you can get whitelisted for that ape NFT you’ve always wanted!
3/ So how do you get whitelisted? We’ve broken it down into 3 points:
• Engagement
• Skills
• Money
Let’s go! 🧵👇
4/ Engagement
With tons of new projects coming out, it’s getting hard for teams to attract users for traction, which is why projects are largely dependent on crypto Twitter to capture attention.
5/ For example, an NFT project’s social media accounts would have you follow, like, retweet, or tag your friends to stand a chance to win a whitelist spot!
6/ Whitelist spots are also given to community members that are passionate, providing feedback, actively contributing and engaging in the project’s Discord channel.
Some projects would have the OG roles for early joiners, which gives a priority pass for minting as well.
7/ Skills
Some say luck is a factor in getting whitelisted. Though largely true, having the right skills like in graphic design and memetics helps greatly.
8/ NFT projects may hold competitions where contestants can put their skills to the test, this could be through designing fan art to putting out the spiciest of memes!
9/ For those of you who aren’t artistically inclined, games are organized by projects as well. Ranging from puzzles to poker nights which are free for all and the prize?
Whitelist spots!
10/ Money
No we don’t mean buying whitelist spots! What we meant was purchasing and holding previous NFTs from other collections from the same creator or from partnered collections.
11/ Most projects would usually reserve whitelist spots for holders of their previously released NFTs, so it’s worth looking into.
12/ So there you have it Geckos, the three main ways to boost your chances of getting whitelisted for NFT projects!

1/ In Mar 2022, @coingecko conducted a Twitter poll to take a deeper look at NFTs and their owners.
Here are some findings we obtained 🧵🔎
2/ Majority of the respondents are from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, aged 18-30 and 30-50. 72% of these own NFTs, with more than half of them having 5 or more NFTs.
3/ Metaverse/Gaming NFTs are the most common type of NFTs owned, with half of the respondents having participated in metaverse(s) before.
2021 was the year of the #NFT. We know that it could be overwhelming for most individuals to learn, so the team set forth to venture deep into the space!
