Had the opportunity to speak about Web3 and the future of decentralized tech with an amazing group of students yesterday. It was a privilege to introduce the Aptos blockchain and ignite curiosity around building in this new digital frontier.

Big thanks to Hiraya Network and Web3 Ilocos for making this possible. It's inspiring to see initiatives like this reaching cities like Laoag. It’s great to be building a Web3 community here in Ilocos Norte and witnessing local talent take interest in shaping the future of the internet. 🚀

The mint mechanism you choose can make or break your launch! Let's break down the most common strategies and why they matter.

Ever heard of "gas wars" or wondered how some people get early access to drops? It's all in the mint mechanism! From the simple "First Come, First Served" to the exclusive "Allowlists" and thrilling "Dutch Auctions," and "Raffles", each method has its own pros, cons, and impacts your project's success. 💡

Which one is right for your launch? 💭
⚒️ First Come, First Served (FCFS): The classic, but is it fair?
⚒️ Allowlists: How to reward your early supporters
⚒️ Raffles: Is randomness the fairest approach?
⚒️ Dutch Auctions: High stakes and falling prices
