How long does a mint take?

Usually one to two blocks after you confirm. The page monitors the transaction and shows the result.

Can I mint more than one at a time?

Yes, up to the phase's per-wallet limit. ERC-721A makes batch mints cheap in gas.

Where do I see my NFT after minting?

In your wallet's NFT tab, on the Taostats EVM explorer, and in the collection's recently-minted list.

Who this is for

First-time minters on Bittensor EVM.

Before you start

An EVM wallet (MetaMask or Rabby).
Bittensor EVM added to it.
TAO on the EVM side: phase price × quantity, plus the platform mint fee, plus gas.

The steps

1Set up a wallet — MetaMask or Rabby — and back up the seed phrase offline.
2Add Bittensor EVM (chain ID 964) to the wallet.
3Fund it with TAO via the official bridge.
4Choose a collection on the collections page. Every listed collection has been reviewed.
5Check the phase: the collection page shows whether a phase is active, its price and your per-wallet limit, all read from the contract.
6Connect your wallet on Elevate and confirm Bittensor EVM is the active network.
7Select a quantity within the phase's per-wallet limit.
8Review the transaction in your wallet: the recipient should be the contract address shown on the collection page, and the value should be price × quantity plus the platform mint fee.
9Confirm. The page tracks the transaction until it is included — usually one or two blocks.
10Verify the mint: the token appears in your wallet's NFT tab and the transaction is visible on Taostats EVM Explorer.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
Mint button disabled	No active phase, phase paused, or wallet not allowlisted	Check the phase list on the collection page
“Insufficient funds”	TAO is on the Substrate side, or gas not covered	Bridge TAO to your 0x address; keep a small buffer
Wrong network warning	Wallet is on Ethereum or another chain	Switch to Bittensor EVM (chain ID 964)
Transaction reverted	Limit reached or phase closed between load and sign	Reload; the page refreshes status before every mint

Security tips

Mint only from elevateart.xyz.
Compare the contract address in your wallet's confirmation with the one on the collection page.
Never sign a message or transaction you did not initiate.
Nobody from Elevate will ever DM you first or ask for your seed phrase.
