# D3conomist-NFT: Two Phases

We have made the decision to divide the release of the _D3conomist-NFT_ into two phases. The first phase will still commence at the same time/date as planned (WL: 28/10—20.00UTC) and remain at the same price (0.2ETH). We see this phase as a chance for our \[true OG\] early supporters to get into our project at a very attractive entry point.

Furthermore, we now have two very promising projects ready to launch with us, as soon as our launchpad is complete. They’re both founded by highly experienced and distinguished teams. Early access to these projects alone will reward early supporters with a level of value that will likely not be seen again. Not to mention all the other utility holders will have access to. Unfortunately, we’re unable reveal too much information about these projects right now.

Prior to the second release of _D3conomist-NFTs_, we will have completed the back-end and beta front-end of our launchpad (_D3launchpad_), as well as (at least) a beta version our _NFT_\-generator (_D3generator_). For this reason, the price for the second release of _D3conomist-NFTs_ will be higher than the first release. Either way, we still feel minters are receiving a huge amount of utility and value for the money, particularly when it comes to \[guaranteed\] launchpad access.

### Total Supply: 2500 D3conomists-NFTs

### Team: 250 NFTs

### Mentors: 50 NFTs

### Promo: 112 NFTs

### Phase 1: 1000 NFTs

### Phase 2: 1088 NFTs

### Mint Phase 1 WL-Guaranteed: 0.2 ETH

### Mint Phase 1 Public (FCFS): 0.25 ETH

### Mint Phase 2 WL-Guaranteed: 0.3 ETH

### MintPhase 2 Public: 0.35

> **_Mint date Phase 1: 28.10.2022_**
> 
> **_Mint date Phase 2: 16.12.2022_**

Below is a table comparing the cheapest way to gain guaranteed access for three different launchpads (including D3launchpad). One other thing to consider though, is that for the other two launchpads, the price represents the lowest possible guaranteed allocation. For D3launchpad, every _D3conomist-NFT_ receives an equal allocation, ie. 1 _D3conomist-NFT_ = 1 guaranteed _L-NFT_ allocation. This will likely be at least double the $amount for the lowest allocation of other launchpads.

We would have liked to have included more launchpads in the table, however many of them have an overly complex \[staking\] model and we wanted everyone to be able to verify our figures. This only reinforces the point of our launchpad as being one that’s simple, transparent and easy for everyone to understand. We feel that this approach is the only way mass adoption will occur.

Something that’s also very important to us, is allowing our community to grow as organically as it possibly can. By dividing the mint into two phases, we feel we can better achieve this type of growth. We’re looking for true believers, not mass adoption based on hype! This way, we’re able to make sure incentives remain aligned between all members of the team and community, in order to foster an environment which is as strong and positive is it can possibly be. This will give us all the best possible chance of succeeding as a ‘venture crowd’ over ‘venture-capitalists’.
