Now that we've come to the end of Mantle Moonshot, it's the time you've all been waiting for — Moonshot Protocol token rewards from KTX.Finance, AGNI Finance, ApeX Protocol, Lendle, MINU, FusionX Finance, iZUMi Finance and Minterest!

In case you missed it, you're eligible for protocol token rewards under Moonshot as long as you hold a Citizens of Mantle NFT upgraded with a Moonshot Protocol add-on trait on Feb. 1, 2024 during Snapshot (happening at a randomly selected time on this day). Each add-on trait that is successfully upgraded with an NFT will receive that protocol's respective token rewards, with a maximum of one (1) allocation per holder (by wallet address).

Owning an Upgraded Citizens of Mantle NFT

If you've been following us for Moonshot across weeks of protocol quests, you would likely have won a Moonshot Protocol add-on trait by completing protocol quests from any week and opening a mystery box. If you're a lucky winner of a protocol-exclusive add-on trait, i.e., any of the ones featured below, you're all set to upgrade your Citizens of Mantle NFT.

*Users who have fully completed a minimum of six (6) Moonshot Protocol quests will receive a complimentary Citizens of Mantle NFT by Jan. 25, 2024.

Upgrade your NFT in a few steps:

1. Head to your NFT Armory and connect your wallet
2. Check out all the Citizens of Mantle NFT(s) and add-on trait(s) you have in your profile — all Moonshot add-on traits have been distributed to winning participants. If you did not win an add-on trait from Moonshot, or a Citizens of Mantle NFT, you can bid for a fully upgraded Citizens of Mantle NFT or a Citizens of Mantle base character NFT for upgrading from marketplaces such as Mintle (add-on traits alone are not available for sale)
3. Hover over the Citizens of Mantle NFT you'd like to upgrade with your mouse and click on the fourth icon, "Upgrade Now"
4. You'll be able to see all your add-on traits, then select the one you'd like to pair together with your NFT
5. Proceed to upgrade — you will be shown a preview of the final NFT, and only proceed if you're happy with the final upgraded look as this process is irreversible

Upgrade Now

I have three (3) add-on traits from three (3) different Moonshot Protocols. Can I just upgrade a single Citizens of Mantle NFT multiple times and still receive protocol token rewards from the respective Moonshot Protocols?

You will need to own different Citizens of Mantle NFTs with different Moonshot Protocol add-on traits to be eligible. As protocol token rewards are distributed based on snapshot, if you upgrade a single Citizens of Mantle NFT more than once, your previous upgrade will be unretrievable and thus, will not be in the snapshot.

I didn't win any add-on traits during Mantle Moonshot, but I found upgraded Citizens of Mantle NFTs on Mintle/Element for sale. Will it count if I buy one?

As long as your wallet holds a Citizens of Mantle NFT upgraded with any of the eight (8) participation protocol add-on traits when the snapshot occurs on Feb. 1 , 2024, you are eligible for the corresponding protocol token rewards.

I have two Citizens of Mantle NFT upgraded with the same add-on trait. Will both be counted for rewards?

You will only be given a maximum of a single allocation of token rewards from the same protocol no matter how many Citizens of NFT upgraded with that protocol's add-on trait you hold.
