SHIELDED NAKAS MINT TOMORROW 🛡️ Thursday, October 1 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm London / 11pm Beijing 15:00 UTC CHECK YOUR WALLET NOW Connect your wallet on the mint page to see whether you’re GTD or FCFS: ord-dropz.xyz/marketplace/li… Minting isn’t open yet, but you can see where you stand. GTD gets the first 2 hours. After that, all remaining supply opens to first come, first served. THE EARLY FEEDBACK Our top 10 launchpad minters each received one early as a thank-you for being strong supporters. The feedback from all 10 on the mint experience: smooth. WHAT YOU’RE MINTING Shielded Nakas is the first collection on our shielded protocol. Every piece is inscribed as a child of the parent, with full metadata on-chain. Our index starts at zero, just like inscriptions. That makes the entire collection Shielded Sub 10K, with the first 1,000 indexed pieces also Shielded Sub 1K. A nod to the original inscription meta. Ownership is private. People can’t see what you hold or who you sell to. When the mint finishes, the whole collection automatically indexes into our secondary marketplace, giving you the familiar experience of trading ordinals. WHAT THIS OPENS UP FOR CREATORS We’re bringing the protocol to the launchpad so anyone can launch using the same protocol and indexer. You’ll get a free, premade template. Fill in your collection details, and the launch flow handles inscribing the parent, which serves as the contract, and the children. We handle the rest. OPEN SOURCE AT LAUNCH As soon as we launch, we’re open-sourcing the indexer. You’ll be able to run your own relay or indexer locally, even during the mint, and verify everything yourself. Other launchpads that want to use it will have access to the same indexer we use. BEYOND TOMORROW A huge part of this week has gone into making sure the mint holds up under a rush. I’m excited to get through launch and get back to making the protocol more private and better. We have a lot of improvements planned over the next couple of months. Ord Dropz is committed to bringing this community the newest tech on Bitcoin: Runinals, teleburn tools, on-demand inscriptions on rare sats, our rare-sat marketplace, and whatever we build next together. Thank you for supporting the work. Check your wallet. Know your window. See you tomorrow. 🛡️
