How to claim our NFT
Step-by-step instructions & FAQ
There’s 2 ways to claim our NFT – by connecting your Metamask OR by signing up with email (and then importing to Metamask later). Instructions for both methods are included below.
Claim with email address
1) Go to our NFT mint page: https://coinsider.highlight.xyz/about
2) Click "Create Account" on top right corner.
3) Enter your email address and click "Create Account." This pop-up should appear:
4) Go to your email inbox and open the email from Highlight.xyz (it may take a bit to arrive).
5) Click: "Login to Highlight."
6) This will open a new window at Highlight.xyz where you are now logged in (your email address should appear in the top right corner) (you can close the old window).
7) Click the "Claim for Free" button under the NFT.
8) This screen with "Minting in progress" will appear:
Note: this is not the actual NFT.
9) If after a few minutes, you still see the "Minting in progress", refresh your page and you should see something like this:
10) You can go to your Highlight.xyz account settings to find the associated Public Wallet Address on Polygon.
Go to a Polygon Explorer (https://polygonscan.com/) and look up your address to see that your NFT is attached to it. It should look like this on Polygon Explorer:
11) Back on the Highlight.xyz minting page, Click "View Token" to see the full detail page of your newly minted NFT.
12) If you ever want to have self custody of your NFT with your own wallet, you’ll need to export the private key that you can find in the Settings page as well.
Click on your email on the top right, click on Settings, then scroll down to the Export Private Key option, and then click on the export link.
Follow that process and then import it into whichever wallet you use, i.e. Metamask.
Keep in mind that exporting the private key for your NFT might expose it online, so it is recommended to transfer it to another address as soon as it’s imported.
Claim with Metamask
1) Sign in to Metamask and switch to the Polygon Network FIRST.
If you don’t have Polygon Network on your wallet yet, you can add it by following these instructions.
After adding Polygon to Metamask, be sure that you Switch to it.
2) Go to our NFT mint page: https://coinsider.highlight.xyz/about
3) If you don’t have a Highlight.xyz account: click "Create Account."
Click "Connect Metamask" – your Metamask Polygon address should appear like this:
Then enter your email address and click "Create Account."
IMPORTANT: Wait for Metamask to open a "Signature Request" window! (Do not click the Captcha yet).
Click "Sign" for the signature request in Metamask.
You should now be signed in to your new Highlight.xyz account (email address appears in top-right corner).
4) Back on the NFT page, click "Claim for Free."
