# Minting Guide

### 🧭 Real effort – Real proof – On-chain forever

At Coincraze, every NFT is a badge you earn, not one you're given.\
It doesn’t appear out of thin air — you have to make it happen.

You don’t stumble into a Quest NFT.\
You build it through contribution, and you trigger it by choice:\
You click "**Mint**" – and the blockchain seals your achievement forever.

### ⚙️How does minting work?

Once you complete a task linked to an NFT level, the system will unlock a “Mint” button on your profile.\
From there, two possibilities emerge:

1. **Instant Mint – When your contribution is auto-verified**

* You pass a quiz, complete an event, build your profile
* Coincraze has already tracked and validated your action
* Click “**Mint**” – and your NFT immediately appears in your wallet
* Your access rights are unlocked on the spot

*Example: You score high on your first quiz → Click Mint → Your Scout NFT becomes your first on-chain milestone.*

2. Approval-based Mint – When human validation is required

* You create viral content, test products, grow your local community
* These acts require eyes, not just data
* When you click “Mint”, the system shows: “**Pending Approval**”
* Once approved, your NFT is minted and delivered on-chain

*Example: You post content with 150+ real engagements → Click Mint → Pending → Verified → You receive your Booster NFT*

### 🏆 Power Unlocked – Every NFT is a key

Once minted:

👉 It becomes your access badge to internal layers: advanced quizzes, testnets, DAO, retrodrops...

👉 It defines your role in the ecosystem

👉 And everyone can see: you didn’t just show up — you contributed your way in.
