How a KID called BEAST is approaching Mint List (ML)?
It's been great to see the organic growth and interest in a KID called BEAST over the past few weeks.
To think how far we have taken this idea once shared only between a couple of friends blows my mind every day. Now we share it with a worldwide community.
All flowers to the amazing team and people behind this non-chalant looking KID that we decided to call BEAST.
I can't…
a KID called BEAST turns 1 today. 👀
We are proud to call ourselves BEASTs and we have accomplished alot since our launch. Things are just getting started and we are fired up for what this year brings. 🔥
A very special announcement is coming later today.

Those of you who genuinely resonate with the vision and community we are trying to build here only need to keep doing what you're doing and continue to be active, engaging, helpful, and authentic.
Mint has resumed for the remaining supply. Those who are allowed to mint was determined by recent raffles held in the community and members hand-picked by the team.

Our goal is to find as many of the authentic members of the community that we want to build with long term. We ask that you continue being you and know that we have adopted a meticulous, genuine, and thoughtful approach to our ML.
February 19th I'll be grabbing the
@akidcalledbeast
1st Physical Edition.
It's time to break the chain & show what giving back to the community is all about. ⛓️
I hope this context is helpful for those of you who may have had questions about how the process works. The team is working very hard for the ML; I believe we have put far more work into this than 99% of the projects.
We have observed the space and evaluated what has proved effective and what has proved detrimental. With this data, we have designed a unique personal experience for the minters, alongside preventing the terrible gas wars that we are all familiar with.
The ML is given out privately through Twitter DMs to prevent various groups from DMing those on the ML to reverse engineer the process.
The minting process will be unique to what we have seen in the NFT space.
We track everyone who does, look at various other metrics that are important to us, which have not been made public to avoid gamification, and then select the best candidates for ML.
We've decided to use ML as an incentive for social media engagement for the increased reach it provides. Our goal is to create a Culture DAO that influences physical and digital spaces, and we need to be able to reach as many people who resonate with that as possible.
However, we do not randomly pick from the people who engage with tweets to award ML. Liking, RT, and commenting is the baseline requirement for consideration.
Essentially creating the necessary foundations that make a project a blue-chip. We are still undiscovered. This is an advantage for our early community and us.
We have no doubt with the quality of our product and vision that, we will have no issue selling the full collection.
It is evident that short-term projects which rely on such tactics, suffered from price dumping shortly after mint as there was no authentic community foundation. It's not the type of community we want to build, but we are not blind to how much reach it gives projects.
Using this selectively and tying ML to social media engagement is powerful and allows us to reach users who could resonate with our vision/mission that we otherwise might not have.
So with all this context, how is a KID called BEAST choosing to approach our ML?
This is a labor of love for many people behind the scenes. So we are in no rush to build the community that is here for the long-term. We are in no need to deploy ML spots as an incentive for engagement on Twitter.
I thought it would be helpful to share some context around how we feel about the ML and what that may mean for all of you.
Before a KID called BEAST was even announced, the team spent quite a bit of time exploring various alpha groups.
The team quickly realized that publicly announcing precisely what we're looking for only makes it easier for flippers to game the system, taking spots from members of the community who genuinely deserve it.
With this said, our presence has only been soft-launched in an attempt to avoid these groups. The soft launch was a decision to allow us to optimize the areas we see need working on on a smaller scale.
Many meaningful NFT conversations happen in these private spaces, and we believe it would be helpful to understand how a significant % of the community thinks and talks about projects in those spaces.
There has been no significant marketing besides word of mouth, yet we are seeing many people resonate with the vision and type of community we are trying to build.
These questions are understandable, as we have intentionally chosen not to disclose exactly how we are selecting people to reward the community members with whom we want to build this brand together in the long term.
There is no doubt that there are entire communities dedicated to dissecting exactly how to get WL spots in various projects, and supporting each other in mining different project mechanics, to obtain a WL. These people usually have the intent of a quick flip.

I can't wait to see how far we can keep pushing the creative boundaries and can't wait to see what the community builds every week. Here's to all the creators. Who's up next?

@suntenft
We've witnessed the community pick up the tools for the first time and been inspired by others sharing tutorials each week to improve their craft. Now we're seeing rooms fill up so creators can all grow together, seriously?
