Getting started with NFT Access Lists

TL;DR

NFT Access Lists allow creators to control who has access to their collections and at what time(s) they get access to minting NFTs. This includes setting restrictions on buying, selling, or even just accessing the mint page.

Why should you be using them for your collection? 

Access Lists are often used to manage “early accessโ€ to a collection. This means that creators can choose to give certain individuals early access to their NFTs before they are released to the public. This can be particularly useful for creators who want to give fans or supporters an exclusive look at their work before it becomes widely available. 

For example, a project could give early access to the members of its discord group before the collection is made available to the whole community. This allows the artist to reward active members and supporters while also maintaining control over their work.

What are the benefits?

  • Increased security: 
    An access list helps to ensure that only the right individuals have access to an NFT collection. This can prevent unauthorised access to the collection, reducing the risk of a mint being exploited by bots or malicious actors.
  • Improved control: 
    By controlling who has access to the NFTs through an Access List, creators have greater control by setting limitations and restrictions on who, when and where their NFTs are purchased. This is particularly important during the launch period.
  • Increased transparency:
    An Access List can provide a clear and transparent record of who has access to a collection. This can help ensure that NFTs are used appropriately and can also help with the tracking and management of collections over time.
  • Better marketing opportunities: 
    By controlling who has access to an NFT collection, creators can tailor their marketing efforts to specific groups of individuals. For example, they can target early access to fans and supporters or target potential buyers with exclusive offers.
  • Increased scarcity:
    By limiting the number of individuals who have access to a collection through a list, the scarcity of the NFTs is increased. This can help drive demand for the collection and potentially lead to fomo and higher numbers of purchases.
