The Bankers NFT Mint Pass: Secure Your Bankers in Advance
At Unbanked, we’re committed to building a suite of CeFi and DeFi products that not only look good but have real-world utility. If you’ve been paying attention to our project over the last few months, you might have noticed that, in addition to our crypto-friendly debit cards and global bank accounts, we’re been chattering a lot about NFT’s. And no wonder since we announced a few months ago that we would soon be releasing our Bankers NFT collection.
We’ve been so overwhelmed by the positive response from our community about this upcoming drop so, as a special holiday gift for our community, we’re now releasing more information on how to get your mint pass ahead of the holiday season.
What Is It
The Bankers NFT is a collection of 10,000 unique NFT’s designed by renowned Pudgy Penguins artist, Antoine Mingo. But more than just looking cool, each Banker comes with some pretty awesome perks, including shared IP rights and lifetime access to Unbanked’s upcoming lending and borrowing protocol.
Mint Pass Ahead of The Drop
After seeing so much excitement from the community and having conversations collecting feedback in Discord, we knew a white-list made sense. We also wanted to ensure our existing Unbanked customers had the best chance possible at getting a Banker. The Mint Pass guarantees your ability to Mint a Banker without bidding in the auction on the day of the Drop on January 31st.
The Mint Pass also allows you to mint at a time of your choosing and avoid potential expensive transaction fees. It’s possible that on January 31st the ETH gas fees will be very high. Ethereum’s gas fees increase based on network usage and the most important metric is the traffic on the Ethereum network. In plain English, the more people trying to make transactions at a given point, the higher the gas fees which can increase your cost of securing a Banker.
What You Need to Know
- On Monday, December 20th, we will launch a special Mintpass for 72 hours, with a flat price of 0.087 ETH (approximately $350). This will allow anyone interested in a Banker to get in before the public sale. Watch your inbox!
- Mintpass holders will be able to mint on the day of the public sale, Monday, January 31, 2022, or anytime thereafter.
- The public sale of the Bankers drop will be similar to a dutch auction. This means we start with the highest bid first to initiate the Banker sale. The price will continue to decline until all Bankers are sold out or the floor price is reached. Bidding will start at $800 worth of ETH and decline every 30 minutes until it reaches a floor of $200 worth of ETH.
- Once the public sale is live, any Bankers left over after 72 hours will be burned
How to Get in On the Mintpass
- Register for an account at Unbanked.com. We will email everyone as soon as the drop is open and you can initiate your purchase.
- Make sure you have created a Crypto Profile in your Unbanked Dashboard and your ETH address is listed in the profile. You can find directions on setup here.
- An email will be sent to you when the drop is open with a URL to mint.
How to Get in on the Public Sale on Monday, January 31, 2022, at 12 PM ET
Having an Unbanked.com account will be the best way to get timely notifications of the Banker NFT drop. We will also notify people on social media when the drop has occurred, but that will only occur after all emails have been sent out.
30 MIN ADVANCED NOTICE
We want to support those customers who actively use Unbanked products. Therefore those with an active crypto balance of $250 or more will receive an advanced email notification on the drop with a link.
- Have an account on Unbanked with an active crypto balance of $250 or more. Your balance will fluctuate so it is recommended to deposit a slightly higher amount.
- Those with a $250 or more balance will receive an email 30 minutes before the drop opens. We will take a “balance” snapshot a few days before the drop.
- When the email is sent you will receive a URL where you will be able to MINT your Banker NFT.
REGULAR NOTICE
Those with an Unbanked account, but without an active balance.
- An email will be sent to all Unbanked emails 30 minutes after the Advanced email is sent.
- You are not required to have an active balance with us, but you do need an Unbanked account so that we can email you.
- When the email is sent you will be able to MINT your banker NFT at the URL provided.
We’re so excited to see the Bankers NFT drop come to fruition and want to give our sincerest thanks to our customers and community for all your feedback and enthusiasm over the past few months. We cannot wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on and take advantage of all the ways our NFTs will improve financial access and control for everyone in crypto (and beyond).
