Premint alternative: build your allowlist through play
Premint is a registration tool that many NFT artists and brands use to build allowlists. Compact Games turns the same step into a short competition, so the list is built from people who engaged instead of people who filled in a form.
The short answer
Compact Games is a competition-based alternative to Premint for allowlists. Members play a branded browser mini-game, and the host awards allowlist spots by leaderboard rank, a raffle among players, or both. Premint remains a good fit for simple registration-style allowlists with wallet and social checks.
