in #btcnews3 months ago

✍ For individuals interested in or new to Web3 with limited time and resources, the optimal approach is to part-time "luming" (grind) project whitelists.
👉 This tutorial is structured into three parts to provide a comprehensive guide.


Part 1: Beginner Stage

1. What is a Whitelist?

A whitelist (abbreviated as WL) serves as a pre-approval list, allowing participants to secure priority access for purchasing NFTs or tokens before public sales.
There are two primary types:

  • GTD (Guaranteed Whitelist) — ensures you can mint (purchase) without competition.
  • FCFS (First-Come-First-Serve whitelist) — often referred to as a "lucky whitelist," it is typically oversubscribed, requiring participants to compete based on speed, technical setup, and gas fees.

Example:
If a project releases 5000 NFTs with a presale price of 0.1 ETH and a public sale at 0.15 ETH, GTD holders can purchase at the lower price without rushing. FCFS holders compete for the remaining 800 NFTs from over 3000 whitelist spots, necessitating quick reactions and higher gas fees (similar to auction fees for miners) to succeed.

2. What is an NFT?

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token (非同质化代币), a unique digital asset based on blockchain technology, functioning as a digital collectible. Each NFT is distinct and irreplaceable.
NFTs reside on blockchains like Ethereum and Solana, where the blockchain acts as an immutable public ledger documenting ownership and transaction history, preventing tampering or forgery.

Example:
The renowned NFT artwork "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" by Beeple sold for $69 million in 2021. Another prominent project is Bored Ape Yacht Club, which has generated numerous overnight millionaires.

3. Preparation: Tools You Need

  • Discord (DC): Most projects utilize Discord for community engagement and whitelist events; follow server verification instructions meticulously.
  • Twitter (TW): Monitor project accounts and official announcements.
  • Telegram (TG) or “飞机”: Community chat applications frequently used for airdrops and updates.

4. Wallet

A wallet is essential in Web3 for storing assets and interacting with blockchain applications. Standard setup involves:
Installing a wallet plugin ➡️ setting a password ➡️ backing up the seed phrase (助记词) ➡️ completing registration.

Recommended: OKX Wallet supports over 100 public chains without manual network configuration.

Important: Wallets function like password-protected bank cards but require no KYC. Anyone with your seed phrase can access your funds.
DO NOT copy or share your seed phrase or private keys!
Handwrite and store two copies securely, never sharing them with anyone.

Part 2: Intermediate Stage

Once you master the basics, these strategies from three years of experience can accelerate whitelist grinding.

Common whitelist methods revolve around the "Four Old Sets":

(1) Create content (创作)
(2) Be active (活跃)
(3) Participate in events (参加活动)
(4) Join lotteries (抽奖活动)

1. Content Creation

Upon joining a community, projects often share NFT-related images. If skilled in art, create and post derivative works quickly. For inspiration, visit platforms like Xiaohongshu, Qiantu.com, or Nitu.com.

If unable to draw, outsource tasks on platforms like Xianyu for approximately 50-80 RMB, ensuring clear communication of desired elements.

Pro tip: Identify rule loopholes.
Example: A project granted special status for art submissions, enabling entry into a "battle royale" lottery for whitelist spots. By leveraging public images strategically, I secured 10 whitelist spots that later appreciated 20-fold.

2. Participate in Events

Projects host events such as singing, dancing, handicrafts, art, and writing threads. Focus on your strengths—for instance, submit multiple entries with your main account and distribute others across sub-accounts, maintaining activity across all.

Leverage friends' talents; for example, have a vocal friend record a clip under your Discord handle to enhance your chances.

3. Be Active

This method is the most challenging, requiring daily engagement, a consistent persona (avoid frequent username changes), and friendly interactions with moderators and members. Persistence is key.

4. Luck Whitelist (Lottery)

Success here depends largely on participation volume and luck. Engage broadly in Discord, Twitter, AlphaBot, and other community giveaways.
