A list of addresses approved to participate in an NFT project’s limited-edition mints.
Typically used in the NFT space, a whitelist — also known as an allowlist — includes all the addresses approved for participation in an NFT project’s minting activity.
Given how most collections have limited edition sizes, minting them at the original cost/price can be lucrative for selling on the secondary market. In order to secure such an opportunity, participants are tasked with completing certain tasks (social sharing/tagging friends) in exchange for a potential slot on the whitelist.
