We are thrilled to announce that OpenBlox is ready to welcome new Bloxes (https://presale.openblox.io/).

The 2nd round of NFT Minting will start at 1 pm UTC on the 12th of March 2022!

All six races including three new ones: Dragon, Hardshell, and Insect will be available.

As whitelist participants asked about what the minting process would look like, we decided to create an NFT minting tutorial that will guide you on your journey to minting a Blox.

Please note: after connecting your wallet,

  • if you are whitelisted, your waiting time will remain the same;
  • if you are not whitelisted, your waiting time will be an additional 30 minutes
  • Genesis Blox wallets will automatically be whitelisted.

Your Attention Please!

Add Arbitrum Network to your MetaMask Wallet

1. Please make sure you have added and switched to the Arbitrum Network on MetaMask. If you haven’t yet, you can easily set up Arbitrum on Metamask by following the instruction.

Transfer ETH to your wallet on the Arbitrum Network.

2. Please ensure that you have ETH in your wallet on the Arbitrum wallet — sufficient to pay for minting fees and gas fees (it won’t be that high!)

If you already hold ETH on Ethereum, you can use the Arbitrum Bridge (It will take time for your asset to come through, so please move your assets ahead of the mint. For more details, check out this Video.

If you don’t have any ETH yet, you can use exchanges such as: Binance (Tutorial, Video.), FTX.com (Article), Crypto.com (Article).

You will also find links to options on our Mint page.
