Rules

There are two ways to obtain a Coo: Priority minting, and public access.

Priority minting | Starts from 19 April

Make a transaction to Ethereum as your destination chain, either by bridging a token or NFT. There is no minimum amount required.
Once the transaction is complete and the asset has been bridged successfully to the destination wallet, users will receive an unopened envelope on the Coo NFT minting page. Connect - or switch to - the destination wallet to Carrier to ensure that the minting information displayed is up to date and correct.
Each bridge transaction has an independent chance of obtaining a Coo. Users can choose to open the envelope after they make a bridge transaction or wait to accumulate transactions before opening the envelope at one go. The more transactions made, the higher the likelihood of obtaining a Coo.
Users who open up an empty envelope can make another transaction by clicking on Bridge Now. There is no limit to the number of bridge transactions a user can make to receive and open an envelope till they receive a Coo.
Refer to the step-by-step user guide here.

Public access | Starts from 5 May

Eligible users who fulfil one or all of the qualifying criteria below will be whitelisted for the chance to mint a Coo. The mint will happen on 24 May, with specifics released at a later date.
