The waiting part of the free mint is over. yakkamon.com/whitelist is live: paste a wallet address — 0x… or ronin:…, either works — and it tells you which of the five waves that wallet is whitelisted for. The lists are final. The snapshot behind Waves 1, 2, 4 and 5 was taken on September 10 at 01:00 UTC, and the page says so plainly: anything that moved your rank or deposit after that does not change them.
The page also settles two things the official docs never had. Every wave now has an opening time, not just a date, and every wave has a name. Waves 1, 2 and 5 open at 00:00 UTC on their date — 8:00 PM the evening before on the US East Coast. Waves 3 and 4 open at 08:00 UTC — 4:00 AM Eastern, 4:00 PM in Manila. The clocks below run on those times.
The five waves, with the clocks running
Names, sizes and opening times as published on the whitelist page. The right-hand column is live.
| Wave | Opens (UTC) | US Eastern | Supply | Who is whitelisted | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wave 1 · Top Trainers | Sept 14, 00:00 | Sept 13, 8:00 PM | 1,000 | Ranks 1–1,000 at the snapshot — guaranteed; the supply matches the whitelist exactly | Sept 14, 00:00 UTC |
| Wave 2 · OG Trainers | Sept 15, 00:00 | Sept 14, 8:00 PM | 3,000 | Ranks 1–10,000 with at least 5 $FLOWER deposited — first come, first served | Sept 15, 00:00 UTC |
| Wave 3 · The Ronin Wave | Sept 16, 08:00 | Sept 16, 4:00 AM | 2,000 | Active Ronin gamers from the 90-day snapshot to September 8 — Axie Infinity, Pixels, Craft World, Ronkeverse, Moku and Sunflower Land — first come, first served | Sept 16, 08:00 UTC |
| Wave 4 · Yakkamon Hunters | Sept 17, 08:00 | Sept 17, 4:00 AM | 5,000 | Ranks 1–20,000 with at least 5 $FLOWER deposited — ends early if the 10,000 are gone | Sept 17, 08:00 UTC |
| Wave 5 · Public Trainers | Sept 18, 00:00 | Sept 17, 8:00 PM | Remaining | Ranks 1–50,000, no deposit needed — only what the earlier waves left, and it “may never open if the supply is gone” | Sept 18, 00:00 UTC |
| Reveal | Oct 14 | — | 11,500 | Every mint is hidden until then; no hour published yet | Oct 14 |
The status chips and the countdown on the home page use these official times. Waves 1, 2, 4 and 5 come from the September 10, 01:00 UTC trainer snapshot; Wave 3 from the 90-day Ronin activity snapshot that ended September 8.
The two opening hours, in your time zone
Only two clock times matter all week. 00:00 UTC is the evening before for the Americas and morning for Asia; 08:00 UTC is the middle of the night in the Americas and the afternoon in Asia.
| Where you are | Waves 1, 2 and 5 (00:00 UTC) | Waves 3 and 4 (08:00 UTC) |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (PDT) | 5:00 PM, the evening before | 1:00 AM |
| New York (EDT) | 8:00 PM, the evening before | 4:00 AM |
| London (BST) | 1:00 AM | 9:00 AM |
| Berlin / Paris (CEST) | 2:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| Istanbul (TRT) | 3:00 AM | 11:00 AM |
| India (IST) | 5:30 AM | 1:30 PM |
| Jakarta (WIB) | 7:00 AM | 3:00 PM |
| Manila (PHT) | 8:00 AM | 4:00 PM |
| Sydney (AEST) | 10:00 AM | 6:00 PM |
The split is worth noticing. The two click-race waves with the most contested supply — the Ronin Wave and Wave 4 — open at an hour that is comfortable for Southeast Asia and brutal for North America. If you are in the US and whitelisted for either, set an alarm; the 2,000 and 4,000–5,000 mints in those waves are first come, first served, and half the world will be awake when they open.
What is new here, and what it changes
- The hours. Until today every countdown on the internet, including ours, was guessing 00:00 UTC for every wave. Three of the five guesses were right; Waves 3 and 4 open eight hours later than assumed. Our clocks now use the published times.
- The names. Top Trainers, OG Trainers, The Ronin Wave, Yakkamon Hunters, Public Trainers. Expect the team and the Launchpad to use them; the numbers still work.
- The snapshot is done. 01:00 UTC on September 10, per the page. The 5 $FLOWER deposit that unlocked Waves 2 and 4 had to be in before that; it no longer moves anything. If you deposited after, your rank still counts for the airdrop and the season, but not for these five lists.
- Wave 5 “may never open.” That is the official wording now: Public Trainers get “only what the earlier waves left,” and the page says the wave may never open if the supply is gone. It is exactly the arithmetic in the free mint by the numbers — 11,000 promised against 10,000 — stated by the team.
- Stacking is official. “One mint per eligible trainer per wave. Being in an earlier wave does not use up your place in a later one.” A top-1,000 trainer with a deposit has three tickets, as the odds article assumed.
- Wave 1 is exact. “The wave’s supply matches its whitelist exactly” — 1,000 mints for 1,000 wallets. No race on Sunday night; the race starts Monday.
- Sunflower Land is in the Ronin Wave. The official Wave 3 page had it as “coming soon”; the whitelist page lists six games, Sunflower Land included, and the checker is the first place SFL players can actually see whether they made the 2,000.
- First come, first served, in writing. Waves 2, 3 and 4 are labeled that way on the page. Wave 4’s note is the one to remember: it “ends early if the 10,000 supply is fully minted.”
Using the checker
Paste one address and press Search. Both address formats work: the 0x form and the ronin: form are the same wallet written two ways. For Waves 1, 2, 4 and 5 the wallet that matters is the Ronin wallet linked to your Yakkamon account at the snapshot — that is the address the whitelist was built from, and it is the address that will be allowed to mint. For the Ronin Wave it is whichever wallet did the playing in Axie, Pixels, Craft World, Ronkeverse, Moku or Sunflower Land over the 90 days to September 8, which may be a different one. Check both if you have both.
If you deposited on Base, nothing on Base mints. The checker and the Launchpad both want a Ronin address; Base deposits counted toward your rank and toward the 5 $FLOWER condition, and that is where their job ends. If you never linked a Ronin wallet, the checker is where you find out what that cost — the Ronin-wallet tip explains why the mint is Ronin-only.
Two things the page does not do, as far as I can see: it does not show how many mints are left in a wave, and it does not tell you your rank. For the first, watch the Launchpad on the day; for the second, the in-game dashboard and our deposit leaderboard are still the places to look.
If your wallet comes back empty
The lists will not change now, so the honest answer is that the free mint is not your route to a Genesis Yakkamon this week. There are still three. The marketplace opens the moment the first eggs mint on September 14, and hidden eggs will trade below what any revealed Legendary ever sells for — the math on what a hidden egg is worth is in the numbers piece. An extra 1,500 hidden eggs are minted after the free mint and handed out at special events before the reveal — no date or eligibility published yet. And the pre-registration airdrop to the top 5,000 is a separate program on a separate snapshot, one week before early access; if you are inside 5,000 there, a Genesis Legendary or a Rare Egg is coming regardless of this week.
Three questions the page leaves open
- For Waves 2 and 4, does “whitelisted” on the checker already include the 5 $FLOWER condition, or only the rank? A wallet ranked 8,000 with no deposit should not show Wave 2 — worth a test from anyone in that position.
- Does a wave close at a fixed time, or only when its supply is gone? The page gives opening times only, and Wave 4 “ends early” when the 10,000 are minted, which implies the others run until they sell out.
- What time is the reveal on October 14? Every clock counting to it, ours included, is assuming midnight UTC.
