Reserve tokens for named wallets before your public sale — your team, partners,
people who held a previous collection.
Setting one up
Add the wallets
The addresses, and how many each should get.
Review
You’ll see the full allocation, what it does to your available supply, and an
estimate of what delivering it costs — before anything is committed.
Deliver
The tokens are minted straight to their recipients.
Read this before you promise anything
Delivery is the part people underestimate, and the cost doesn’t scale the way
you’d guess.
Gas is per wallet, not per batch. A hundred tokens to a hundred wallets
costs roughly a hundred deliveries. A hundred tokens to one wallet is
dramatically cheaper.On Solana you also pay account rent for every item you deliver — on top of
transaction fees, and unlike Candy Machine rent, you don’t get it back.
Work out three numbers first
- How many distinct wallets. That’s the one that drives the cost.
- Which chain. The same drop on Ethereum and on Base differ by orders of magnitude.
- Rent, if you’re on Solana. Per item, paid by you, not coming back.
For a large allocation, consider delivering to a few custody wallets and
distributing from there — or making it claimable instead. A claim moves the gas
cost to the person claiming.
If you’re running a claim instead
The model is different: one claim is one mint spot.
If the same wallet appears twice in a batch, that’s two separate entitlements.
Collapsing them into one silently takes something away from someone.
Reserved tokens come out of supply
They’re part of your total, not extra. So if your public phase has a cap counted
against the same supply, it can sell out earlier than the headline number
suggests — and mint failures at that point are telling you the truth, not
malfunctioning.
