The Keys to the Vault NFTs are your ticket to an ongoing adventure in the Based Monsta ecosystem. Throughout the cycle, these exclusive and rare NFTs will drop for minting, each release surrounded by marketing campaigns, community engagement events, and giveaways. Before you even get a shot at minting, you’ll see contests, challenges, and ways to earn whitelist spots—because this isn’t just about clicking a button and minting; it’s about being part of something bigger.
Approximately once per month, a new Key goes up for grabs, culminating in a limited-time and limited-quantity mint phase. Maybe you snag one Key and try your luck for more later. Maybe you’re an insatiable loot fiend, hoarding multiples to dominate the secondary market—or just stacking up for an even fatter rewards haul at the end of the cycle. However you play it, the game is on, and the rewards are very real.
Benefits of Holding Vault Keys:
✅ Unlock the Bonus Vault – Collect all 12, and you’re in. No full set? No rewards. Simple as that.
✅ Scarcity = Power – With only 700 minted per drop and 200 reserved for promos, these Keys are highly sought after.
✅ Tradeable NFTs – Hustle, flip, or hold—your strategy, your call.
✅ Part of the Experience – Each drop is a community-driven event with surprises, rewards, and challenges.
✅ Flex Factor – Collecting all 12 proves you’re not just watching from the sidelines—you’re playing to win.

Minting revenue from each Key release is fed right back into the Based Monsta ecosystem! To keep things fun and exciting, each Mint may have a different revenue split. The revenue from the first Key release will be split as follows:
Mint to Win 👀
Monsta loves surprises! That's why 15% of this mints revenue is dedicated for paid minter incentives and prizes! Keep your eyes on the community Telegram on Minting day where we'll be sharing the details, you won't want to miss out!
*free/promo mints are not eligible for minter incentives
If you’re wondering what’s at stake, let’s talk rewards. The Bonus Vault already holds over 11.7K+ CAKE, 3+ ETH, and 4+ BNB, and that pile just keeps growing! Every Key mint pushes a portion of revenue straight into the Bonus Vault, ensuring the final prize pot is even bigger by the time the cycle ends. When you hold a full set, you're not just playing for fun—you’re playing for serious rewards.

Q: Is the mint price fixed, or does it fluctuate?
A: The price is pegged to USD (~$20 for Whitelist, ~$30 for Public), but you’ll be paying in Base ETH, so slight fluctuations might occur depending on ETH’s price at the time of minting.
Q: What happens if I miss this mint?
A: You wouldn't want to do that.
Q: Can I trade my Vault Keys?
A: Yes. Missed a drop? Pick one up on secondary markets. Want to flip it and dip? Someone will take it off your hands. Stay tuned for official marketplace listings/announcements to follow.
Q: What if I mint multiple Keys?
A: Stack them, trade them, or hold onto them for leverage. But remember, only a complete full set of 12 gets you into the Bonus Vault. Multiple full sets? You greedy little gobbler you 😉
Q: I won/received a free/promo mint, am I eligible for the minting incentives?
A: Only paid mints are eligible for minting incentives.
Q: Will there be other rewards besides the Bonus Vault?
A: Maybe. Maybe not. We're Monstas.
Q: Where do I mint?
A: Minting will take place on our dapp and the official link will be provided/announced prior to the opening of Phase 1. For your safety, only use/follow links from our official channels.
Q: Do I need to hold all 12 Keys in the same wallet?
A: Yes. When the Bonus Vault claim period opens, your wallet will be checked for the full set. If your Keys are scattered across different wallets, consolidate them before the claim window.
Q: Where can I trade Vault Keys after minting?
A: Official secondary market listings will be announced post-mint. Stay tuned for marketplace details.
Q: Is there a limit to how many Keys I can hold?
A: No cap. You can hoard as many as you want, but remember: only a full set of 12 unlocks the Bonus Vault at the end of the cycle.
Q: If I buy a Key from someone else, does it still count toward my Bonus Vault eligibility?
A: Yes, as long as you own a full set of 12 by the end of the cycle, it doesn’t whether you mint, or scalp the floor like a true degen, it all counts.
Q: How do I keep up with the latest updates?
A: Follow us on X (Twitter), join our Telegram, and stay engaged. More events, updates, and prizes are on the way.
