Determine the rules
- Early access to Coinbase NFT to those on the waitlist, according to ranking.
- Move up the waitlist through the number of sign-ups received by your unique referral link.
- Your placement is determined through the number of successfully referred sign-ups and will be updated for each sign-up.
- You can’t view the number of referred people, but your position is updated.
- People will be let off the waitlist in late 2021 in ranking order, starting from its first ranked user.
Coinbase NFT is an open platform, rather than invite-only. Therefore it relies on other launch tactics.
How its made
The platform uses web3 decentralized metadata solutions like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System, a peer-to-peer network protocol) rather than centralized servers. Your NFTs are not exclusive to the platform. You can use multiple NFT marketplaces.
