Our wallet based whitelist method is created on top of Candy Machine v2’s built-in whitelist functionality.
The Candy Machine’s functionality utilizes a whitelist token to decide whether or not to allow a user to pre-mint an NFT. If the user has the whitelist token that is defined in the Candy Machine’s whitelist settings, then they can mint ahead of the public NFT sale.
Instead of performing an airdrop of whitelist tokens to users, we instead have updated the Candy Machine functionality so that a “whitelisted user can click the presale mint button, receive a token, spend that token, and get an NFT in the same single transaction.”
This Candy Machine functionality avoids the needs to rely on tokens airdrop days or hours ahead of mint. Along with disabling a secondary token market exchange and a strong protection against bot.
Note: Because the functionality in its basic nature still relies on a token to decide who can pre-mint. If there is any last minute additions that you have to add for team or community, we can also send you some additional whitelist token.
People may have to click the mint button more than once, due to congestion on the Solana network.
It is possible that users may have to click more than one time to get their NFT transaction to go through. This is common even in public mints nowadays, as minting bots have caused lots of network congestion. You should advise your community to click multiple times if they get a failed transaction. Our alerting on the mint page will also automatically advise people to try again.
User’s may end up with a WL token in their wallet, but not the NFT, and need to click the mint button again.
Our wallet based whitelist feature, technically does 4 Solana transactions in a single click. If the network is congested, sometimes only the first transaction, which places a token in the user’s wallet, occurs. However the user can just click again, and they will be able to get their NFT.
Note: Most user will have no idea this has occurs, as our alerts in the application will direct them to click again to mint.
