# MintGate & Mindshare

> MintGate is reserved for active stakers; Mindshare is open to verified holders and stakers under separate allocation rules.

MintGate and Mindshare use different access and reward systems. MintGate is reserved exclusively for active stakers, while Mindshare is available to verified holders and active stakers under separate allocation rules.

## MintGate — NFT launchpad

> **WARNING:** **Active stakers only.**
> 
> Every project entering MintGate is available exclusively to eligible active Hazels stakers. A user without an active staking position cannot access the launchpad, claim a project allocation or enter a MintGate campaign — even if that user is a creator, influencer, partner or Hazels holder.

## Mindshare campaigns

> **INFO:** **Holders and active stakers.**
> 
> Mindshare campaigns are private leaderboard programmes. Participation is limited to verified Hazels holders and active stakers. No external user can join, submit content or receive a campaign allocation.

## Mindshare reward logic

### Active staker

Every eligible staker who completes the published campaign requirements receives a guaranteed project airdrop allocation. There is no FCFS competition between eligible stakers.

### Holder

Eligible holders compete through the campaign leaderboard. Airdrop allocations are awarded according to final verified ranking and the allocation size announced for that campaign.

### External user

No access. A non-holder or non-staker cannot participate, even through creator status or audience size.
