FAQ

Short answers to what people ask most. Something missing? Ask @mintsfamily on X.

Accounts and wallets

Do I need an account?

No. Your wallet is your account. Connect Phantom or MetaMask and sign one message. See Getting started.

Which wallet do I need?

Phantom for Solana, MetaMask for Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain. You can use both; each is its own account.

Can I use mints on my phone?

Yes. Open the site inside the browser of the Phantom or MetaMask app, so the page can reach your wallet.

Does signing in cost anything?

No. It is a signed message, not a transaction. It cannot move funds and pays no network fee.

Buying and selling

What does a purchase cost on top of the price?

The 1% mints fee and the network fee of the chain. See Fees.

Why does MetaMask ask me twice?

On Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain the purchase is filled by OpenSea's contract, so the mints fee is a second, separate transfer. On Solana both are in one transaction, so Phantom asks once.

Why do some Solana listings open Magic Eden instead of buying?

Those items are listed only on Magic Eden, which mints cannot fill yet. Listings placed on OpenSea, and every listing of a collection launched on mints, can be bought right here.

Someone bought the listing before me. Did I lose anything?

No item or price moves. On Solana a purchase that would fail is stopped before it is sent. On the EVM chains MetaMask warns you when a transaction is likely to fail, and a failed one only costs its network fee. The list refreshes and you can take the next listing.

I bought an NFT. Why can I not post a thesis yet?

Ownership is read from OpenSea for marketplace collections, and it can take about a minute to see a new owner. Try again shortly, signed in with the wallet that bought it.

Can I sell or make offers here?

Yes, with limit orders: list your NFT at your price or place a collection offer below the floor. See Limit orders.

Thesis and numbers

Why is my PnL empty?

PnL needs a purchase price. In the Holders tab and the position window it comes from your buys on mints, mints included. If the NFT was a drop, a transfer or a purchase made somewhere else, there is no price on mints to compare with, so PnL shows a dash.

Can I edit or delete a thesis?

A thesis is a dated entry tied to the size you had at that moment, so it stays as written. Post a new one when your view changes; your history shows how it evolved.

I hold the NFT. Why am I not in Holders, Sales or the leaderboard?

Those lists count only trades made through mints, like FOMO does. An NFT bought on another marketplace is real and you can post a thesis with it, but it is not a trade on mints. Buy, sell, mint or win a drop here and it shows. See Leaderboard and Feed.

Where do the prices come from?

Market sales, listings and floors come from OpenSea on all four chains, with new events streamed in as they happen. They draw the chart and the numbers above it. Dollar values use live ETH and SOL rates and update every second.

How is the leaderboard ranked?

By dollar volume of trades made on mints over the last 30 days, top 100 wallets, rebuilt every 2 minutes. PnL is realized and matched first in, first out. See Leaderboard and Feed.

Launchpad

How much does a launch cost?

No mints fee. You pay pump.fun's coin creation, your optional dev buy, 0.01 SOL of gas for the agent and the rent of the new accounts. The form shows the total before you sign. See Launch a coin with a collection.

Who gets the mint money?

The creator gets 95% of every mint, mints gets 5%. The money goes straight to the creator's wallet in the mint transaction.

Who gets the coin's creator fees?

All of them go to the agent wallet of the launch, which spends them on the collection and drops NFTs to holders. The creator and mints get none of them directly.

Can I change the art, supply or price after launching?

Before the first signature you can change anything in the form. Once the coin and the collection are on chain, the site has no way to change them, so check the art and the numbers before you sign.

What happens when the coin leaves the bonding curve?

Nothing changes for the agent. Creator fees from the pool are claimed the same way as fees from the curve.

How do I win a drop?

Hold at least 10,000 tokens of the coin in a normal wallet. Every 30 minutes one holder is drawn, with odds by bag size. There is nothing to claim: the NFT is sent to your wallet. See The agent.

Can I launch on Ethereum, Base or Robinhood Chain?

Not yet. Launches run on Solana through pump.fun for now; the other chains show as Soon in the form.

Safety

Does mints hold my NFTs or money?

No. Purchases go from your wallet to the seller. Launchpad listings stay in your wallet until a buyer pays. See Security and custody.

Someone from mints asked for my seed phrase.

That is not us. mints never asks for a seed phrase or a private key, and never messages first. Do not share it, and report the account to @mintsfamily.
