Dynamic Mint Pricing

Dynamic Mint Pricing

The mint price of ClassicBirds NFTs isn’t fixed—it increases over time to create natural demand pressure and reward early adopters. Here’s exactly how it works:

1. How the Price Increases

Every time 20 new NFTs are minted, the price goes up by 0.10 ETC.

Price Formula:

currentPrice = BASE_PRICE + (PRICE_INCREMENT * (currentTokenId / INCREMENT_INTERVAL))

• BASE_PRICE = 0.10 ETC (starting price)

• PRICE_INCREMENT = 0.10 ETC (how much it increases each step)

• INCREMENT_INTERVAL = 20 (price adjusts every 20 mints)

Example Price Progression:

NFTs Minted	Calculation	Price (ETC)
#1–20	0.10 + (0 × 0.10)	0.10
#21–40	0.10 + (1 × 0.10)	0.20
#41–60	0.10 + (2 × 0.10)	0.30
...	...	...
#481–500	0.10 + (24 × 0.10)	2.50

Key Takeaway:

• Early minters get the lowest prices.

• Later minters pay more, but benefit from higher perceived value due to scarcity.
