Alright, let's talk about Teddys mint staging. Specifically, how Steady Teddys plan to handle it, if -- big if -- we actually launch.
Preface: We gained our first follower on August 21 1969. Since then, we've been lucky enough to cultivate an amazing community of degenerates on a chain that didn't even exist.
Fast forward to now and our community has grown into a fountain of creators and content producers that have harnessed one of the fundamental pillars of the crypto ethos - memetics.
We want to ensure that our valued community members are able to mint a Steady Teddy.
So lets jump in.
In the past, many NFT mints have used overallocated guaranteed spots and first-come, first-serve (FCFS) systems. While this might seem fair at first glance, it often leads to major issues. Overallocating guaranteed spots means that even those with a "GTD" spot, might not actually get their NFT, creating unnecessary stress and understandably some fud.
Meanwhile, hugely overallocated FCFS mints are a playground for bots, leaving a large portion of community members frustrated and empty-handed.
Steady Teddys is taking a different approach.
Here's how the Steady Teddys mint would go down:
⇒ OG/Guaranteed (1:1, no over-allocation) -- If you're on this list, congrats. You get your allocation, no stress. No racing bots, no last-minute gas wars. Just mint your Teddy during your mint phase period (TBA).
⇒ Gated FCFS -- A controlled first-come, first-serve phase, but only for those who have been selected within chosen communities. This keeps things fair and prevents complete chaos, whilst still rewarding active members from their respective communities.
⇒ Community Listed FCFS -- If you're part of the broader Steady Teddys community but didn't make it into the first two rounds, this is your shot. Open to a pre-determined list of communities. Most likely heavily overallocated and stacked.
⇒ Public -- Bot me daddy.
The mint price? 88 ETH. Yeah, you read that right. The predicted floor? Below zero. No fake hype, no promise of instant riches -- just jpg.
If you're minting, it's because you like losing and want to feel something.
