FAQs
Why this unfair raise?
Simple: unfair for outsiders and fair for the Mercle family. Humans who have been building with us get the first opportunity to mint (get a share of the pie) at the cheapest mint price.
Justify numbers?
Hehe, good question. To be honest, I can't give you any justification for all the valuations of startups you see in Web3. But it is the world we live in, if you need something, maybe you can make a comparison with other companies building in the same sector (Worldcoin/Humanity Protocol, both valued at more than $1B right now).
What will I get if I participate?
2.5% of the total token supply, 100% unlocked at TGE. Expected TGE is Q2/Early Q3 2025.
What is your roadmap ahead?
We have been operating with a 2-4 month roadmap for last 2 years, which helps us launch products quickly to users, iterate with real-time feedback, and improve. After the raise the plan is to spend next 3 months launching MAPP, our mobile application (Android and iOS). The primary purpose of the application would be to allow any human to vouch for other humans they know in real life seamlessly without going through any hassle of managing wallets or private keys.
How do you plan to onboard the next 5 Million humans on Mercle Network?
We have an existing user base of 410,000 users + 50,000 on Human Hub waitlist (these include a lot of Worldcoin Orb operators as well). The plan is to empower these 50,000 users to onboard more humans via vouching. You can read more about our proof of personhood solution here.
Why should we believe in you? Pitch yourself
To be 100% honest and genuine with you, you shouldn't blindly trust us or anyone else in crypto. This industry is full of scams and misleading projects—sometimes unintentionally, as people's priorities shift over time. If you've been in crypto long enough, you've likely learned this lesson. However, if you're looking to build conviction, take a look at our previous work and try our latest product. Also this might be helpful
What about HOS holders?
HOS was a receipt against the minting of MBADGES ( which cost around $1 for each NFT ), these HOS holders will be eligible for future Mercle network incentives and the details of the same will come soon.
What happens to the unsold NFT supply?
Any unsold NFTs will be burned, and the round will officially close. This is the only round—there won’t be another.
If fewer NFTs are minted from the 6,969 supply in the $250 tier, will the 2.5% allocation plus the additional 0.42% be distributed equally among the minted NFTs?
Yes
