Minting Guide

Congrats for making it into Sipher. You are now about to mint your NEKO NFTs. Maybe you
actually don’t know how to or are afraid to screw up. Well we got you, so let’s deep dive into the
mechanics of minting

What is minting?
If you already know the answer to this question, congrats YAGMI (You Are Gonna Make It) and
you can skip this section. Minting is the process of interacting with our smart contract to buy your
NFT. For that, you will need an Ethereum wallet and to connect it to our website. You will need to
pay the NFT price + the transaction fees and in exchange you will get your NFT.

Compatible wallets
You will need an Ethereum wallet in order to mint. The most common one and the one we support
is Metamask (https://metamask.io/download.html). Other wallets might be compatible, like XDefi
but we can’t guarantee it. If you don’t have one already, create a wallet with Metamask, transfer
your ETH there and be ready to mint. You can’t mint from an exchange wallet (Binance, Coinbase,
etc…)

Minting with hardware wallets

We support hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) as long as they are connected to a Metamask
client. Check here for instructions on how to connect your hardware wallet:

Ledger-Hardware-Wallet.

Known issues: As of the latest update, the Metamask Chrome extension is having troubles with
Ledger support. It is recommended that you use Firefox or Brave instead.

Minting from contract

It is possible to mint directly from the contract but we do not recommend it. This is a very tech
savvy action and we do not provide support for it. Note that we will also not be sharing the contract
address.
Minting from the website
When your wallet is set up with your ETH ready, head over to our website
(https://mint.sipher.xyz/) to start minting. First you will need to connect your wallet by clicking on
the connect button

Once done, you will be able to select how many NFTs you want to mint. Note that we restrict to
5 tokens per transaction (if you are minting during private sales this might even be reduced
further depending on your rights). Select the desired amount and click on mint.
You will be prompted to validate the transaction on Metamask, by clicking on the confirm button.

Note that the amount and gas fee are for illustration only and do not correspond to the actual amount and fees.

When you receive confirmation that the transaction is validated, you successfully bought your
NEKO NFTs. You can then go on Opensea to see them. Note that the NFTs are unrevealed for
a certain period. You will be able to see the actual NFT you got after the reveal time.
