About Chin Pokies
Chin Pokies is a collection of 6,969 profile picture based NFTs with a focus on community, enjoyable art, and a utility-based component that we’re looking forward to implementing post-launch. The utility-based component will be implemented post-launch using funds from project mint sales (50% of the project must mint out). 60% of mint sales will be reinvested into the project to cover additional fixed costs, additional development, events, future releases, and more.
Chin Pokies will be minting September 13th, 2022. Public sale price will be 0.0369 Ethereum, and Allowlist Presale price will be 0.021 Ethereum.
Chin Pokies mint price has been reduced to 0.01 Ethereum.

Project Roadmap
Phase I - Q4 2021
Art & Design
Planning
The ideation of Chin Pokies began with a focus on art style and attribute creation. The project has developed into more than just a PFP project with the addition of a utility component which will be delivered post-launch. Learn more about utility below.
Art Development
Seven different attribute types were developed for a total of 173 attributes. Each attribute was voted on by our Team, designed, and tweaked to ensure that every Pokie is high quality and inspires smiles.
Smart Contract Design
Creating and optimizing our ERC721A smart contract was a primary focus. With our optimizations, there will be little gas increase for minting more than one Chin Pokie in a single transaction. Listing on OpenSea will be free, and gas costs will be minimized to the best of our ability.
Phase II Q1 - Q3 2022
Preparing for Launch
Community & Social
Community development and social growth is the primary focus here. All of our attention is put into Discord and Twitter, with various practices to keep members engaged and to grow the community.
Website Creation
The Chin Pokies website is designed to be transparent and ensure that all aspects of the project are easy to understand and transparent.
Mint
6,969 Chin Pokies will be minted September 13th, 2022. For more information about the mint process visit the mint information page
Phase III - Q4 2022
Staking & Rewards

Merch
Developing and distributing redeemable merch using generated $SWIM token.
Auctions & Raffles
Using $SWIM, community members will be given the opportunity to participate in both auctions and raffles for additional, free Chin Pokies as well as spots for future projects.
Phase IV - Q1 2023+
Looking to the Future
Gen. II Chin Pokies
Potential for additional Chin Pokies release or new NFT releases by the team.
Partner Collaborations
We have several teams that have shown interest in partnering with us. During this part of our roadmap, this will be one of our focuses. We’re hoping to develop those relationships and give community members access to those projects as well (by also leveraging $SWIM)
Continuous Development
Phase III doesn’t include everything we’ve come up with. Chin Pokies will be a living, breathing project that is hopefully here for the long haul. Additionally, we will be taking community feedback into account and adding features that are collectively voted on and approved by the community.
