Verification
What Elevate verifies
“Curated” and “verified” are the two words Elevate uses most. This page defines them operationally: the checks a collection passes before it is listed, and what you can confirm yourself afterwards.
Review criteria
- 01
Team verification
Who is behind the collection, how to reach them, and whether their public channels (X, Discord, website) are genuinely theirs. The links shown on a collection page are the ones verified during review.
- 02
Artwork originality
That the artwork is the creator's own work or properly licensed, and that the collection is not a copy of an existing project.
- 03
Contract integrity
That the collection deploys through Elevate's ERC-721A launchpad contract with its phases, wallet limits, royalty settings and reveal configuration reviewed before the first wallet connects.
- 04
Collection information
That the name, supply, mint price and phase schedule published on the collection page match what the contract enforces. After deployment the page reads these values from the chain.
- 05
Launch readiness
That metadata, reveal assets and the mint schedule are in place before the collection is announced, so a listed collection can actually be minted when its phase opens.
What “verified” covers on a collection page
Verified contract
A per-collection ERC-721A contract on chain ID 964, named after the collection, with its address shown on the page and resolvable on the explorer.
Verified creator channels
The X, Discord and website links on the page are the ones confirmed during team verification.
Verified collection information
Name, supply, price and phase schedule match what the contract enforces.
Verified supply data
Minted count and remaining supply are read from the contract on every load, not typed into a database.
After listing
Verification is not a one-time badge. Because the collection page reads supply, phases, transfer-lock state and royalties from the contract, the page cannot quietly disagree with the chain. If a collection misrepresents itself after listing, it is delisted and its page says so; the URL is not redirected to the homepage.

Frequently asked questions
- What does “curated” mean on Elevate?
- Creators apply, Elevate reviews against the criteria on this page, and only collections that pass are listed. It is a review, not a paid placement.
- What does “verified” mean?
- That the collection's contract, team, artwork and published information have been checked, that the contract address is public on the collection page, and that the page reads its numbers from that contract.
- Does verification mean an investment is safe?
- No. Verification reduces the risk of fraud and misconfiguration. It says nothing about the value of a collection, which is for you to judge.
- Can a verified collection be removed?
- Yes. A collection that turns out to have misrepresented itself is delisted, and its page states that it is no longer listed rather than disappearing.
- Are promoted or sponsored placements labelled?
- Elevate does not sell placement in its collection listings. If that ever changes, promoted placements will be labelled as such.
