Step 2: Understand the Current Stage
The Obelisk platform operates in stages. Check the current stage to understand what's available:
- Stage 0: The Non-Computables Whitelist - 100 spots, 0.001 ETH deposit, guarantees NFT mint spot
- Stage 1: NFT Mint - Mint your NFT (starts 24-48 hours after whitelist fills)
- Token Mint: Activates The Overseer, enables reflections, and allows interactions
- Stage 2+: Active - The Overseer is fully operational
Step 3: Join The Non-Computables Whitelist (If Available)
If Stage 0 (whitelist) is active, you can secure your spot:
- Navigate to the whitelist section
- Review the requirements (0.001 ETH non-refundable deposit)
- Submit your deposit to secure one of 100 spots
- Wait for whitelist to fill (100 spots total)
- NFT mint will begin within 24-48 hours after whitelist completion
Step 4: Mint Your NFT (If Available)
If you're in Stage 1 (after whitelist fills), you can mint an NFT:
