An in-depth analysis of GAC’s mint details, implementation of the ERC721A smart contract, the Diamond District Program, and GAC XP.

How Will Our Genesis Mint Work?

The mint price of a single GAC NFT is .08 Ethereum.

The GAC genesis supply has been reduced from 10,000 to 6,500 NFTs. Those who mint and hold their GAC NFT will be part of the Diamond District Program 24 hours after mint.

At the end of this article, you can find more details on how the Diamond District Program and Discord roles work.

ERC721A Smart Contract:

For our mint, we’ve elected to use a custom implementation of the ERC721A contract pioneered by Azuki. Our rendition, entitled ERC721GAC, is specifically pared down with single minting in mind; leveraging the efficient tracking of minting data provided by ERC721A without the extra logic for batch minting (as our mints will be capped at 1 per wallet). This means that you can expect an affordable mint and also affordable transfer fees down the line due to the less complex ownership tracking mechanisms needed for single minting.

Auction:

The Legendary Gold GAC 1/1 Auction begins at 10AM EST on March 23rd, 2022.

  • For 24 hours, the auction will be live for anyone to bid. Once the auction ends, the highest bidder will receive their GAC NFT and a gaming PC valued at ≈$3,000 from PowerGPU.
  • All proceeds from the auction will go to Gamers Outreach, a for-purpose organization helping to restore a sense of joy and normalcy in the lives of hospitalized children.

Whitelist:

Whitelist sale begins at 11AM EST on March 24th, 2022.

  • Phase 1: During this phase, whitelisted members will have 2 hours to mint one GAC NFT. There is a total supply of 6,000 NFTs during the whitelist phases.
  • Phase 2: This phase begins upon the conclusion of Phase 1, at 1PM EST. Whitelisted members will have 2 hours to mint an additional GAC NFT. If you missed out during Phase 1, you will still be able to mint a single GAC NFT during Phase 2, but there is no guarantee supply will last.

Whitelist sale will end after both phases have concluded, or a complete sellout of the 6,000 NFTs available during the whitelist phases.

Public:

Public sale begins at 3:00PM EST on March 24th, 2022.

  • There are 500 GAC NFTs available during the public sale. The public sale period will end once all NFTs have been sold.
  • You may mint a total of one GAC NFT per wallet during the public sale. Whitelisted and non-whitelisted members can both mint during the public sale.

How Do I Become Part Of The Diamond District Program?

The Diamond District is exclusive to holders who mint during the
whitelist /public sale or those who purchase off of the secondary market within the first 24 hours after the public sale is live. Once that 24-hour period ends if you decide to sell your Gaming Ape Club NFT, you are no longer eligible for the Diamond District Program.

Holders who meet these requirements will be able to obtain their Diamond District role in our Discord to be eligible for Diamond District perks and rewards. Refer to the article below on how to verify and obtain your roles.

When Can I Start Earning GAC XP?

The ability to begin earning and redeeming GAC XP in the GAC Shack will be available after mint. Holders will verify ownership of their GAC NFTs in Discord to receive their roles, daily income, and other perks which can be found in the GAC Discord.
