| Mint type | Use when | Recommended route | Main risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public FCFS | Anyone can mint when stage opens | PUBLIC | Sellout and fee competition |
| Allowlist | Your wallet has a proof/signature | PUBLIC or supported private route | Wallet-bound eligibility |
| Scheduled | Known opening time | Route chosen for the stage | Wrong time, stale data, late worker |
| SeaDrop | Supported OpenSea/SeaDrop stage | Direct wallet or compatible delegation | Stage/calldata resolution |
| Custom contract | Verified ABI and mint method are known | Configured adapter | Wrong function or arguments |
| Official authorization | Project requires a server-issued ticket | Frontend authorization bridge | Expired or wallet-mismatched ticket |
<aside> ⚠️
A fast submit is not a guaranteed mint. A transaction can reach the network quickly and still lose the race for block space or supply.
