How does a whitelist work crypto?

Whitelisting is an opt-in security feature in the Address Book . It enables crypto withdrawals to go only to addresses (external or Coinbase) already designated in your Address Book. To enable (or disable) Whitelisting, hit the toggle to switch.

Each project has its own set of unique requirements to qualify for a whitelist. All you have to do is make sure you meet their criteria. Once you are eligible, you will provide your crypto wallet address to get pre-approved for minting. You will then select a time of your choice to mint from the options they provide.

In the NFT world, whitelisting typically means that a crypto wallet address, (i.e. a public ETH address), is pre-approved for minting of NFTs on specified dates/times (usually a date/time window) .
