Theme discussion

 

Whitelist - most projects use some form of a whitelist. Pay attention to how many spots are given away - and if there are any price discounts. 

Raffles - new projects often partner with existing projects to give away a certain number of slots. This helps projects reach new communities. 

Dutch Auctions - price drops slowly over time. This helps avoid gas wars - though a tipping point is often reached where a high gas fee is required to get a mint.

Puzzles - CoolCats recently used a puzzle in the public sale portion of their CoolPets minting. The puzzle required users to translate symbols to a word using a simple key.
