Allowlist

A list of addresses granted early or guaranteed access to mint an NFT collection.

An allowlist (sometimes called a whitelist) is a set of wallet addresses granted early or guaranteed access to mint from an NFT collection, generally before the collection opens to the general public.

Allowlist spots are commonly earned through community participation or granted as a reward, and are sometimes themselves traded before a mint opens.

Examples

  • An allowlist spot might guarantee the ability to mint before the general public sale opens.
  • Allowlist access is commonly earned through community engagement with a project ahead of launch.
