Got Mint (Details)?

There will be 8,888 NFTs within the Astro Girls Society collection. After 03/13/2022, they will be immediately revealed upon minting and accurate rarity information will likely be available soon after the collection has sold out.

If you’re part of the pre-mint list, you’ll be given the moon role in Astro Girls Society’s Discord server. The pre-mint period will be conducted in two phases with Tier 1 minting on 03/10/2022 for 0.05 ETH & Tier 2 minting on 03/11/2022 for 0.08 ETH. Tier 1 consists of ZenAcademy collaboration winners and early community supporters who also hold the !OG role. Tier 2 members are the winners of cross-collab premint giveaways between Astro Girls Society and all other projects. Each person in the pre-mint list will be allocated a maximum of 3 mints per wallet.

After this, over 50% of the collection will be available for 0.08 ETH via the public sale on 03/12/2022. Each wallet will be allowed a maximum of 10 mints. Note that all mint prices are not inclusive of gas.

The Smart Contract

The developer, @Baostronaut, built Astro Girl Society’s smart contract on the Ethereum Mainnet. It was based off of the most recent ERC-721A contract from Azuki, which allows you to mint multiple NFTs at once. From there, restrictions were optimized around two main factors:

  1. Simplicity of the code - ****Separate functions were allotted per minting group, resulting in less operations used. Other measures were implemented to make sure that the smart contract only performs functions that are deemed absolutely necessary.
  2. Minimized network congestion - As mentioned earlier, the mint itself was separated into three phases in order to lower average network demand and, therefore, gas price.
