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! Image
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! Image
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! Image
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!

Trying to keep up with the latest trends may not be as easy as you’d like 😣

That's why we compiled the top-8 crypto highlights in Q2 2021 that you MUST KNOW! Read on below 👇
1/ In Q2 2021, #Dogecoin flew to the moon! It gained an impressive 366% and outperformed the Top-5 cryptocurrencies 🐶🚀🌕
2/ But not so fast! Its cousin, $SHIB, actually outperformed $DOGE with a Q2 return of 11,566,501%

At the literal top, @VitalikButerin sent 50 Trillion $SHIB ($1B at the time) to India Covid Relief Fund & subsequently burnt 90% of his $SHIB👀

It has gone down by 75% since then

1/ Are you ready? Because we are sending you back to the past with our 2020 Yearly Crypto Report! 😉

You can scoot over here for the full report: gcko.io/s9kw8v1

Or you can keep on reading this thread for a snippet👇 Image
2/ In 2020, the top-30 crypto market experienced an impressive 308% growth! 📈

This is likely due to institutional adoptions where #BTC are purchased by the large public listed companies such as @MicroStrategy and @Square Image
3/ #Bitcoin bull run in 2020-2021 seems to be reminiscent of 2016-2017 🐂

$BTC price surged more than double in the first year against the last cycle.

What’s different now? Influx of institutional adoption & positive macro sentiment may be sustaining this surge. Image
