The NFT
collab checklist

Everything two teams should agree before, during and after an allowlist collab — so the handoff is clean and both communities win.

Last reviewed September 2026

Before: agree the terms

  • Spots and type — how many, guaranteed or FCFS, which mint phase, any price difference.
  • Network and wallet type — which chain the mint is on, so winners submit the right wallet.
  • Entry requirements — which X accounts to follow, which post to like, repost or comment on, Discord roles, and any holder requirements.
  • Schedule — start and end in UTC, plus the deadline for delivering the winner list.
  • Winner data — wallets only, or Discord/X usernames too, and in what format.
  • Handoff — who sends the list, to whom, and how: export, private link, or automatic delivery to the partner’s X account.
  • Announcements — who posts what, and when; joint copy for the reveal.

During: run it cleanly

  • Use the agreed requirements exactly, and make the partner’s actions (follow, like, repost) required.
  • Share the raffle link with the partner so both communities can see the rules.
  • Announce in Discord and pin the X post; answer questions in one thread.
  • Keep an eye on entries for obvious bot patterns (see stopping bots).

After: deliver and follow up

  • Draw winners and review the list before sending it.
  • Deliver the list by the agreed deadline in the agreed format — and confirm receipt.
  • Announce winners publicly without private details.
  • Remind winners before mint.
  • Swap results: entries, new followers, conversion to minters. It makes the next collab easier to agree.

Make the next one faster

Once a collab setup works, save it as a template. On Rafflex, collab raffles keep the host and reward project together, and templates carry your usual requirements into every new collab.

Collab questions

What is an NFT collab?

An NFT collab is a partnership where one project gives allowlist spots (or other rewards) to another project’s community, usually through a raffle the partner runs. The reward project gains qualified minters; the host gives its community something valuable.

Who runs the raffle in a collab?

Usually the host — the community receiving the spots — runs the raffle with rules agreed with the reward project, then sends the winner list to the reward project’s team.

What data does the reward project need?

Usually winners’ wallet addresses, sometimes Discord or X usernames too. Agree the exact fields and format before the raffle starts.
