Additional note :- If you’re upgrading to a new Club, you just need to follow step c (GS Bot check)

2. WHITELISTING PROCESS 📝

There are two type of forms — fill the ones that apply to you
✅ a — Open Community participants will get a form shared on Twitter/TG Group
✅ b — Access Club members will get their exclusive forms at app.genshards.com/market upon connecting Metamask wallet. They can also fill in the Open Forms to increase their odds of getting an allocation.

3. WHITELIST RESULTS & KYC ✅

Whitelist results will be declared on our TG/Twitter channels.
✅ Winners will need to complete KYC on app.genshards.com (http://app.genshards.com/) to be eligible for the Genticket NFT sale.
✅ Note that the KYC link is visible once you connect your Metamask wallet.
✅ Also note that the KYC only needs to be done once per wallet — you can use the same wallet for subsequent preIDOs without having to complete KYC again,

4. PARTICIPATING IN THE NFTO SALE 🀄️

Once you have been whitelisted and your wallet has been registered through KYC, you can take part in the pre-IDO sale.
You will be able to purchase the preIDO NFT directly on the WebApp by using your Metamask wallet.
The time window for the sale will be notified on our social channels.
✅ Steps for this can be found here

5. AFTER RECEIVING YOUR NFT — NOW WHAT ? 🃏

✅ a) View the NFTs and underlying token count on the GS Web App (http://app.genshards.com/) , or on NFTrade/OpenSea.
✅ b) Trade the NFTs on the GS NFT Market on NFTrade , or on OpenSea , once the NFT contract address has been shared with the community
✅ c) Redeem the GenTicket NFT for underlying tokens after the IDO for that project (this can be done on the WebApp)
