Welcome future ZenSportsians!

This blog post is the official announcement of the ZenSportsia NFT Whitelist. Our intention for the whitelist is to make this NFT drop fair and balanced, while also rewarding those who contribute to the success of the ZenSportsia metaverse. 

Whitelist Details

The whitelist contains 1500 spots. There will be 10,000 NFT’s in total available for minting, and 5,000 will be exclusively available for presale on the whitelist, so those on the whitelist will be able to exclusively mint 50% of the NFT’s.

Disclosure: There will be a 2% allocation (200 NFTs) gifted to the ZenSports team and investors. We believe this allocation is critical because this NFT drop wouldn’t be possible without these team members and investors.

4,800 NFT’s will then be available for the public mint.

Costs And Minting Limits

The cost to mint NFT’s depends on whether you’re on the whitelist presale or the general public sale:

• .10 ETH minting cost per NFT during presale to whitelist members.
• .15 ETH minting cost per NFT during sale to the general public.

You can save 33% of the cost by getting whitelisted and buying during the presale.

You can buy up to 5 NFT’s per mint/transaction and there is no limit to the number of mints/transactions that you can create up until the allocation of NFT’s for that particular minting group has been filled (i.e. up until 5,000 have been minted during the presale and up until 4,800 have been minted during the general public sale).

Whitelist Minting

The whitelist minting will begin 48 hours before the public mint, so it’s highly recommended that you get on the whitelist in order to maximize your chance of being able to mint and to maximize the number of NFT’s you can mint.

Whitelist minting will begin at 10:00am Eastern Time on Monday, March 28, 2022:

• Whitelist positions can mint during the first 24 hours.
• After the first 24 hours of whitelist minting, there will be a 24 hour break where no minting will occur. Once those 48 hours in total have passed, then the public minting will begin. 

Any NFT allocation that is not minted by a whitelist position will be available to mint in the public mint. 

NOTE: NFTs minted during the whitelist will be available on OpenSea, however, the NFT itself will not be revealed until the public minting begins. This means you will not know what your ZenSportian looks like until the public minting begins. 

Public minting

The public minting is open to everyone 48 hours after the first whitelist minting has begun. If for some reason you were on the whitelist and you missed the whitelist minting times (or you’ve been living under a rock and just found out about ZenSportsia), then you can mint during the public mint and compete with the other slackers and bots. 

Getting On The Whitelist

Since there are only 1500 whitelist spots available, there will be competition to get one of these highly-coveted spots. So how can you apply to be on the whitelist?

1. You must fill out our Type Form application to apply for a whitelist spot. The link to the Type Form can be found HERE and will also be posted in our Discord channel. 
2. Submitting an application does not mean you will automatically get a whitelist position. Your application will be reviewed by the ZenSportsia team and we will approve your application based on your answers, your participation in the community, and overall availability. 
3. Once your application has been approved, you will be notified via email and officially added to the whitelist. ZenSports will publish a spreadsheet of ETH addresses that are currently on the whitelist. If you don’t see your ETH address on this list, you are not on the whitelist (yet). You can also confirm whether your whitelist application has been approved within your position in our Discord channel.
4. There will be many opportunities to show the team why you should get approval for a whitelist position, so pay attention to our announcements in our Discord channel, the ZenSportsia website, our Twitter page, etc. 

Purging Of The Whitelist

Throughout the marketing period from when the whitelist opens to the minting of the NFT’s, we expect everyone on the whitelist to be active in the community. Once the whitelist has reached capacity, this will trigger a whitelist purge for those who are not being active in the community or are not paying attention. 😉  

We also reserve the right to remove anyone from the whitelist who we deem does not embody the ZenSportian values or are disruptive to the community.

Good luck to everyone!
