Superseded — the date moved. This post was published when October 1st was the announced date. The official docs now give the free mint as mid-September, with the reveal in mid-October rather than at early access launch. Everything below about the whitelist, the supply and the five Legendaries still stands — only the timing changed, and your verification deadline moved up with it. The revised schedule →

On October 1st, the Genesis Monster NFT free mint goes live on Ronin. The mint is open to pre-registered trainers only, so signing up before that date is the only way to take part.

What you need to know

It's free — you only cover a small network fee, called gas. Only 10,000 can be minted, and it's first in, first minted — when the last one goes, the free mint closes for good. The mint runs on a secure, verified whitelist: only verified pre-registered trainers can mint, one each, and a wallet that isn't on the list is blocked at the contract no matter how fast it moves. Complete your verification before October 1st. Seeded into that supply are 5 Legendary monsters, the same top-of-the-power-curve creatures handed out in the Trainer Point airdrop. Five out of ten thousand.

Why it's worth doing

Minting also earns pre-registration points toward your trainer tier, on top of the mint itself. Once you have game access, you'll be able to deposit whatever you mint straight into Yakkamon.

Full breakdown, including source details, is on the Early Access page.
