The Pencil Case Project

Yes! Everything is completely free!

We believe that every creator should have access to the tools they need to launch their NFT collection without paying a penny.

We know the market is tough right now, which gives us all the more reason to build free tools to support creators that need them.

We've already saved creators over $1 million in PREMINT fees, and our goal is now $5 million!

If you're on board with this mission, you can show your support by following us on Twitter at @heymintxyz. Thank you!

We created HeyMint to provide creators with a completely free alternative to PREMINT because we saw so many creators suffering with the high cost of creating a project.

While both HeyMint and PREMINT are free for collectors to use, PREMINT costs creators 1 ETH, or $1800+, just to run allowlist management.

Many NFT creators, especially with the proliferation of free mint projects, either cannot afford those rates or would rather invest that money in more meaningful ways to move their project forward.

Moreover, we offer creators several features that don't exist with PREMINT, which has caused a number of creators who previously used PREMINT to switch over to our platform.

We also aim to provide best in class service and support for both collectors and creators. You can reach us anytime at [email protected], on Twitter at @heymintxyz, or using the chat button in the bottom right corner of this page.

We are a fully doxxed team of NFT project creators ourselves, and our passion is helping other creators in this space launch their projects as affordably and easily as possible, rather than trying to earn as much money for ourselves as we can.

If you have any questions or would like to use HeyMint yourself, please feel free to reach out at [email protected]!

We're a small team of devs & creatives that love creating free tools for Web3.

Some of our other projects:
• Curious Addys (the first ever educational NFT project)
• Curious.xyz (a Web3 Q/A platform)
• Nas Academy NFT Masterclass (the best selling NFT course ever)
• The first interactive tutorial for newbies to mint their very first NFT

We've also coded up some of the largest NFT projects:
• World of Women Galaxy ($30 million in mint revenue)
• Zeneca_33's ZenAcademy
• KINGSHIP (Universal Music Group's first NFT project)
• Amber Vittoria's Memories of a Masterpiece

Our dream is to help make Web3 mainstream by making the best free tools possible.

Our founders, Mai Akiyoshi (formerly a senior software engineer at a billion dollar startup, Gusto, featured on Forbes) and Ben Yu (a Thiel Fellow alongside Vitalik Buterin), are fully doxxed, and have longstanding reputations as entrepreneurs and engineers in Silicon Valley.

Absolutely! In fact, we added this ability *specifically* to make using HeyMint much safer over connecting your wallet directly to us.

Verifying your wallet with OpenSea means you only have to sign into OpenSea to prove your own your wallet address.

Now, we don't have to require *any* wallet connection to our site at all to verify your address, which means if a site pretending to be HeyMint ever asks you to connect your wallet - you know it's a scam!
