Discover and mint NFTs on Bittensor EVM

How it works

1. 01

   Browse collections

   Every collection on Elevate passed team, artwork and contract review before listing. The collections page shows what is live, upcoming and ended, with price, supply and minted count read from each contract.

2. 02

   Verify the collection

   Copy the contract address from the collection page and open it on the Taostats EVM explorer. The name, chain ID 964 and token count should match. Official links on the page were checked during review.

3. 03

   Connect your wallet

   Any EVM wallet works — MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet or WalletConnect. Add Bittensor EVM (chain ID 964) or accept Elevate's prompt to add it.

4. 04

   Check the mint phase

   The collection page shows each phase's status, price and your per-wallet limit, read from the contract. Allowlist phases show whether your connected wallet is eligible.

5. 05

   Mint with TAO

   Choose a quantity and confirm in your wallet. The recipient is the collection contract; the value is price × quantity plus the platform mint fee. Elevate never holds your funds.

6. 06

   Track your collection

   Your token appears in your wallet and on the explorer. After reveal, its traits and rarity rank appear on the collection page.

7. 07

   Trade later

   When the creator unlocks transfers, list gas-free or make escrowed offers on the Elevate marketplace, with creator royalties paid automatically.
