What is the mint price?
Mint is free when whitelisted from a burned Portals Genesis Citizen Card.

What is the supply?
The New Explorers Club is a 10000 NFT collection (since 10k Genesis Cards)

Why two burn/mint windows?
Since the only way to get whitelisted (and the free mint) was through burning Portals Genesis Citizen Cards, we knew there would be holders coming in after the first mint who, for good (or bad) reasons, missed the first window. The second window is the second and final chance.

What happens to the supply that isn’t minted?
There will be two windows to burn “Portals Genesis Citizen Cards NFTs” for “The New Explorers Club NFT”. NFTs that are not claimed via burned Genesis Cards will go to the Portals treasury.

How do I mint The New Explorers Club NFT?
The only way to mint is through burning a Portals Genesis Citizen Card.
