On Mintable, a **“Guaranteed Authentic”** label signals that a collection has passed our internal verification process and meets key criteria for legitimacy. However, like all things in Web3, **we strongly encourage users to do their own research (DYOR)** before making purchases.

> 🔒 Verification increases buyer confidence — but it doesn’t guarantee absolute safety. Please always DYOR.

### 🔍 How Does Mintable Determine If a Collection Is Authentic?

Verification is handled **at Mintable’s discretion**, using a combination of:

* ✅ Cross-referencing **official websites and social media accounts**
* ✅ Verifying the collection’s **smart contract** on the blockchain
* ✅ Reviewing the setup on Mintable (logo, banner, links, etc.)

Our team checks these elements carefully to confirm the collection's authenticity and ownership.

### 📋 Eligibility Criteria

Your collection may be eligible for “Guaranteed Authentic” status if it meets the following criteria:

| Criteria                  | Description                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 🔁 **Trading Volume**     | At least **100 ETH** in secondary market volume                                                                                                        |
| 🌐 **Community Strength** | <p>Active community with one or more of the following:<br>– 5,000+ Discord members<br>– 20,000+ Twitter followers<br>– 50,000+ Instagram followers</p> |
| 📜 **Smart Contract**     | Must be a **verified contract** on [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io)                                                                                   |

Meeting these does not **guarantee** verification, but it increases your eligibility for review.
