1. What Is a Whitelist
A whitelist is a list of addresses approved to participate in a restricted event — such as an NFT mint, token sale, or airdrop — before it opens to the public.
2. How It Works
Projects collect eligible addresses (community members, stakers, lottery winners) and record them on-chain (Merkle tree or allowlist contract) or off-chain. During the whitelist phase, only listed addresses can mint/buy, often with a guaranteed or discounted allocation. The general sale opens after, and unclaimed slots may roll over.
3. Why It Matters
Whitelists reward loyal communities, manage demand, and prevent gas wars on public mints. They are a core growth mechanic in NFTs and token sales. Whitelist eligibility and fairness (bots, sybils) are ongoing design concerns.
