Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Shonen Junk❓

A: Shonen Junk is an NFT collection with 9,001 unique anime characters that have been brought to life on the Ethereum blockchain. Shonen Junk started simply because we scoured the NFT landscape and didn’t find much weeb-representation. So we put together a cast of friends from both the anime & crypto industry to turn our vision into reality!

Q: Wen drop

A: Our genesis collection dropped early February.

Q: Is there a whitelist/reservation system❓

A: Yes! We want to show our gratitude for our earliest adopters, the ones who believe in our vision from day 1. For that reason, the first 1,000 members to join the discord and complete the steps listed in #whitelist will earn a minting reservation spot for up to 3 Shonen Junk NFT's. If you missed out on this offer, have no fear! There will be plenty of opportunities to earn a whitelisting spot. Hint: Pay close attention to the # │ announcements channel, keep an eye on our Twitter/socials, and most importantly, have fun within the community!

Q: Will there be a public drop❓

A: Yes! But, there's a catch. We want to prioritize true anime fans, so we will be holding a "Entrance Exam" (brief quiz) for the public mint. If you answer 5/10 questions correctly, you will be able to mint 1 Shonen Junk NFT. If you answer 10/10 correctly, you will be able to mint 2 Shonen Junk NFTs. We will be prioritizing based on those who complete the Quiz the earliest during the mint period.

They will be hanging out within the community so say hi when you spot them!
