What you need
A Web3 wallet (Binance Wallet / MetaMask / OKX Wallet / Bitget Wallet — configured for the chain Bitlayer uses).
Some native chain funds for gas (if mint isn’t free for you). Check official page for any free-mint/allowlist rules.
Your Bitlayer account / connected wallet access (private keys/seed phrase NEVER share).
1) Verify official sources & contract (safety first)
1. Open the official Bitlayer Lucky Helmet page (Bitlayer blog/airdrop page). Confirm you’re on the official domain (bitlayer.org / blog.bitlayer.org / the official announcement).
2. Confirm the contract address before interacting with any mint button. The Lucky Helmet mainnet contract published in official tutorials is:
0x260Ac1A14a89Fd24c72B84092629F14964556299
Always verify this on the official Bitlayer page or trusted announcement.
2) Connect your wallet
1. On the Lucky Helmet page click Connect Wallet. Use the wallet you control (Binance Wallet, MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet as supported). Some events are tied to specific wallets — check event rules.
2. Approve the connection in your wallet UI. Do not sign any transaction that looks like “approve unlimited spending” unless you understand it. Only sign the mint transaction when you expect a cost or free-mint confirmation.
3) Check whitelist / eligibility
1. Click Check Whitelist or “Check eligibility” on the mint page. The site will tell you whether your address is allowlisted (free mint) or if you must participate in a public mint.
2. If you’re not whitelisted, see official partner events (OKX, Bitget, Binance Wallet Booster) or community campaigns that distribute WL spots. These were used historically for the Lucky Helmet.
4) The mint flow (typical)
1. If eligible, click Mint (or the mint button). The site will prepare a TX that you confirm in your wallet.
2. Confirm gas & total cost in your wallet. If whitelist & free mint apply, gas may still be required. If the page shows a fee, double-check amount before signing.
3. Wait for network confirmation. After success you’ll usually see the NFT in your wallet UI or in the Bitlayer collection page. If it’s a Layer-2 mint, you may also receive an L1 (Bitcoin ordinal) or L2 record depending on the project mechanics.
5) Post-mint: verification & claiming bonuses
Check your wallet’s NFT tab or open the Bitlayer “My Items” section to confirm token ID.
Lucky Helmet holders have historically been eligible for periodic bonuses and event rewards (e.g., BTR weekly bonuses, participation airdrops). Follow official instructions to verify and claim any holder rewards. (Examples: Bitlayer weekly BTR claims; Booster campaign tasks for Binance Wallet holders).
6) Transferring / listing
If you plan to trade or move the NFT between wallets or marketplaces, verify compatibility (Bitlayer L2 ↔ Bitcoin L1 flows may have special bridging steps). Use official bridges/marketplaces recommended by Bitlayer.
Troubleshooting & tips
Mint failed / stuck: Wait for chain confirmations; if the transaction reverts, check wallet logs and the site announcement for congestion or gas refunds.
Not whitelisted: Watch partner campaigns (OKX, Bitget, Binance Wallet) and Galxe tasks — these distributed WL spots in prior campaigns.
Scam warning: Only use links from official bitlayer.org, blog.bitlayer.org, or official Bitlayer social posts. Do not trust DMs linking to different domains. Verify contract address before any transaction.
