Those eligible for Black Cards are also able to mint Gold and Silver. Those eligible for Gold Cards are also able to mint Silver.

Silver Pass minting will open on

MONDAY, JUNE 30th, 10:00 AM EST, 16:00 PM CET, 22:00 PM HKT,

in partnership with Magic Eden on Base. Price is $60.

One at a time: The time, marketplace, and available supply of the following mint will only be revealed after the active mint is completed.

For example, the Gold Card details will be posted only by the Folks team once the Silver mint is completed.

This is to reduce any potential confusion which can occur because of the multichain nature of the mint.
