Burning Your Alt Mint
Burning Your Alt Mint
Updated over a week ago

Every Alt Mint is a collectible, 3D model that’s backed by a card held in our Alt Vault. 400 Alt Mint assets have been placed in individual digital packs that can be collected, traded or sold. Once a pack has been opened and the Alt Mint asset is revealed, it can be sold, used to redeem the physical asset, or held onto to enjoy the benefits of ownership.

Burning your Alt Mint is irreversible. You will send your unrevealed card to a burn address, ultimately eliminating your card from the blockchain. However, transactions leading up to the burn will remain on the blockchain ledger.

In the coming weeks, you will be able to connect your wallet to alt.xyz/mint, burn, then redeem the underlying card tied to your Alt Mint. At this time, to burn your Alt Mint and redeem your card, you will need to contact our support team.

When contacting support for your request, you will be asked to:

  • Transfer your Alt Mint to the burn address

  • Confirm the email associated with your Alt account

  • Provide feedback about your experience
