ANON is a fair lunch/free mint private token on DERO. This means you can go to the smart contract inspector, type in the contract ID for the ANON token:

and claim your 1 337 ANON tokens. It is free, but you need to pay a small miner fee (approx 0.0032 DERO). To do this, I would suggest you create a new DERO wallet, put a small amount of DERO on it for gas fees, and click on Execute in the MintAnon function:

Open the MintToken function, and click on Execute

The limit is one mint per block. Average blocktime is around 18s if I remember correctly.

There is a max supply of 13.37M ANON, we cannot mint more, it is limited by the code. You can check how much has been minted so far by opening the Contract Variables section, and find the ‘minted’ variable. Keep in mind in DERO tokens are in atomic units, you will see extra five zeros.

We have seen the madness on BTC with the ordinals which bought to life the free minting culture. There was a bigger mining fee of course and a bigger number of people. For those late from the party their chance to get some was only to buy from the people who minted the tokens. This generated a demand, and growth in price.

We don’t have the liquidity and swarm in DERO as we have in BTC, but my intention is to give a community a fair lunch token where people who mint would be incentivized to spread the word and to come up with use cases, give out tokens as they wish on Twitter, make deals with NFT collection owners, get the token on exchanges, create meme contests, and come up with their original ideas to make this meme token fun and useful for everyone. My secret hope is to get you guys somewhat familiar with smart contracts on DERO maybe some of you will create something big in the future.

If you used CLI wallet, checking your balance after minting will be easy, if not, it is time to get yourself familiar with it. It is easier then it sounds, no need to be a hacker to navigate in a numbered list of menu items.
Simply put the following code in your CLI wallet after you opened it:

balance ee300fe87cf9fb3bd600b25d6af4cd54569022a3fa264a1cb20174bb9ef7afa2

Personally this is part of my learning journey to the world of DERO, hoping to create some CLI, GUI and web apps after this.

Get the money printer ready, token just lunched on mainnet, I have just minted 1 337 ANON. The rest is for everyone to pick up.

Enjoy!
