## How to mint

1. **Buy SOL**: Copy your Phantom wallet's SOL address and use Apple/Google Pay to purchase Solana. You can use providers like Moonpay.
2. **Purchase $STAR**: Buy our in-game $STAR token on various swap services or directly from our Shop. $STAR can be used to acquire NFTs on our marketplace.
3. **Get a Starminer**: Visit [starminers.xyz/mint ](https://starminers.xyz/mint)through your wallet's browser and log in. From the "mint" protocol, you can acquire a new Starminer NFT ship. Make sure to keep some SOL for transaction fees.

## Mint price

{% hint style="info" %}
**Price per ship in $STAR**: *390 $STAR + 0.02 SOL fees*\
**Price per ship in $SOL**: *Dynamic price (0.10 \~ 0.xx)*
{% endhint %}

The price in SOL will always be more expensive than getting your ship directly in $STAR.\
We therefore encourage mints in $STAR, as this is one of the only levers capable of driving up the $STAR price, given that SOL must be exchanged to obtain the $STAR amount needed to obtain a Spaceship.

## Technical details

On-chain minting of 2000 NFTs from the STRM collection via the CandyMachine V3 protocol © Metaplex. To stagger the mints, we have set milestones every 200 spaceships. This also allows us to reserve the right to revise the mint price at each milestone or organize community events on these occasions.

## **Ship-Minting Variation**

To help users easily identify their specific assets, we have created 2,000 unique ship variations. These variations are the result of combining 4 distinct ship classes with 10 different color options. Though the core functionality of a ship is not affected by its class or color, this diverse set of visual attributes allows players to distinguish their in-game SFT assets.
