Tincta Rewards / A visual guide

How it works.

From the first vote to the final claim.

Follow the NFTs and ETH through voting, minting, prizes, refunds, affiliate rewards and the Season holder pool. See what happens, who can act, and when.

Mainnet minting has not opened yet. Diagrams use illustrative wallets and outcomes.

01 / Voting

The community sets the mint terms.

Before each paid collection opens, eligible NFT holders choose one of three fixed packages. The vote sets supply, mint price and the number of equal prizes.

Illustrated workflow 1 of 4
View full diagram (opens in a new tab)
  1. Genesis sellout opens the first ballot. Each Genesis NFT gives its current owner one vote. Later ballots use eligible paid-NFT balances recorded just before voting opens.

  2. Choose a package and submit your vote from your wallet during the 24-hour ballot. One eligible NFT equals one vote. A submitted vote cannot be changed.

  3. The option with the most votes wins. Ties choose the lower option number. With no votes, Option 1 is selected. These vote counts are illustrative.

  4. At ballot close, the chosen terms become fixed and the 24-hour paid mint opens. The collection’s order and artwork stay unchanged.

Rules to know about voting
  • Option 1: 1,000 NFTs at 0.01 ETH, with 6 equal prizes. Option 2: 2,000 NFTs at 0.02 ETH, with 4 equal prizes. Option 3: 1,000 NFTs at 0.01 ETH, with 10 equal prizes. Every paid mint window lasts 24 hours.
  • Genesis votes only in the first ballot. Its unused vote follows the NFT’s current owner; transferring it cannot restore a used vote. Later ballots use NFTs from successful paid collections and their recorded ownership balances.
  • Later ballots open 60 seconds after preparation. Preparation requires a transaction and operating funding; each new collection gets its own full 24-hour ballot.

02 / Mint & prizes

Mint an NFT. Claim a prize if it wins.

Each paid NFT enters its collection’s draw. Its artwork and four numbers are permanent; the result is recorded separately after sellout and verifiable randomness.

  1. Mint under the final voted terms. The contract creates the NFT’s permanent four-number identity. Those numbers do not predict its score or whether it will win.

  2. Mint revenue backs the collection. After a successful draw, 60% is allocated to equal prizes. The rest funds qualified affiliates, the season holder pool and treasury.

  3. After sellout, one Chainlink VRF request supplies verifiable randomness. Draw finalization selects distinct winning NFTs. The voted package determines whether there are 4, 6 or 10 winners.

  4. The current winning NFT holder submits a claim to receive ETH. Payments are not automatic. One wallet can hold several winning NFTs and claim each prize.

Rules to know about mint & prizes
  • Each NFT participates only in its own collection. For 1,000 NFTs and six prizes, each NFT has a 6 in 1,000 chance of winning. Minting does not guarantee a prize.
  • Winning NFTs cannot transfer until their prizes are claimed. The recorded prize claimant earns one lifetime sponsored mint in a later collection, subject to available funding; the entitlement does not follow a later NFT transfer.
  • Network gas is separate from mint prices and claim amounts. The examples use fictional wallets and results, not live balances or a prediction of a draw.

03 / Refunds

Miss the deadline. Unlock the refund.

If a paid collection is still unsold at its mint deadline, minting closes and no draw takes place. The original mint price becomes claimable by the current NFT holder.

Illustrated workflow 1 of 4

  1. Paid mints fund the collection while its 24-hour mint window is open. Funds needed for refunds stay protected.

  2. The collection has not sold out when its mint deadline arrives. No more mints are accepted and this collection has no prize draw.

  3. At the deadline, each current holder can claim the original mint price for each NFT. Refunds have no expiry; becoming available does not send a payment automatically.

  4. The current holder submits a refund claim. The contract returns the original mint price and burns the claimed NFT. Gas and secondary-market price differences are excluded.

Rules to know about refunds
  • Refunds follow current NFT ownership. If you bought an NFT on a secondary market, the refund is its original mint price, not the amount you paid the seller.
  • A sold-out collection also becomes refundable if valid randomness is not recorded within 72 hours of sellout. Randomness recorded on time preserves the draw; later finalization does not create a new refund deadline.
  • Refundable collections pay no prize, affiliate or season holder rewards. Genesis is free and has no mint deadline; this diagram describes paid collections.

04 / Affiliates

One paid referral. An equal share.

Enroll before minting opens, then refer someone to the paid mint. Qualified affiliates share the collection’s 20% affiliate pool equally after a successful draw.

Illustrated workflow 1 of 4
View full diagram (opens in a new tab)
  1. Hold Genesis or an eligible earlier paid NFT and reserve one of ten positions. One position per wallet; each qualifying NFT can be used once per target collection.

  2. Share your collection referral link. One paid mint by someone else qualifies you. Self-referrals and sponsored mints do not qualify.

  3. The collection sells out and its draw successfully finalizes. All qualified affiliates receive equal shares of the 20% pool, regardless of their referral counts.

  4. Each qualified affiliate submits a claim. A prize win is not required, and earning more referrals does not increase that affiliate’s equal share.

Rules to know about affiliates
  • The first collection requires a Genesis NFT for enrollment. Genesis stays eligible across all collections and seasons; later collections also accept eligible earlier paid NFTs.
  • Enrollment closes when minting opens. A position alone earns nothing: at least one qualifying paid referral is required. Transferring the qualifying NFT cannot reuse its enrollment eligibility in that collection.
  • Refundable collections pay no affiliate rewards. If no affiliate qualifies in a successfully drawn collection, the affiliate allocation joins treasury. Earned, unpaid shares remain reserved for their claimants.

05 / Season holder pool

One season. A shared holder pool.

Successful paid collections contribute 10% of mint revenue to their season’s holder pool. After the season settles, the first 5% of eligible NFTs can claim equal ETH shares.

Illustrated workflow 1 of 4
View full diagram (opens in a new tab)
  1. Each paid collection that sells out and completes its draw contributes 10% of mint revenue. Collections in the same season fund one pool; refundable collections contribute nothing.

  2. The pool unlocks after every collection in that season has finalized its draw or become refundable. Outstanding prize and refund claims do not delay the unlock.

  3. The claim limit is 5% of eligible NFTs, rounded down: one slot per 20 NFTs. The first valid claims fill those slots in onchain transaction order. Holding an eligible NFT does not guarantee a payout.

  4. The current holder submits a claim for an eligible NFT and receives an equal share of the season pool. Each NFT can claim once. The NFT stays in the holder’s wallet; it is not burned.

Rules to know about season holder pool
  • NFTs from successfully drawn paid collections in the same season qualify, including winning NFTs. Genesis and refundable NFTs are excluded. The catalog must be sealed and every collection in that season must have settled before claims open.
  • The claim limit is the eligible NFT count divided by 20, rounded down. The pool is divided equally across that limit, with amounts rounded down to whole wei. A claim needs an available slot and a nonzero reward; there is no separate random selection.
  • The limit counts NFTs, not wallets. A holder may claim for several eligible NFTs while slots remain. Transfers do not restore a used claim. Claims have no time deadline, but stop when all slots are filled. Network gas is separate from the reward.

After a successful draw

Where mint revenue goes.

These allocations are fixed. Voting changes the package, so the ETH amounts depend on the final price and supply.

NFT prizes
60%
Qualified affiliates
20%
Season holder pool
10%
Treasury
10%

The separate holder pool unlocks after every collection in the season settles. The first 5% of eligible NFTs from successful draws can claim, in transaction order. Genesis is excluded. If no affiliate qualifies, the affiliate allocation joins treasury.
