How standing is measured.

Your final standing is a weighted blend. The written answers carry 40 percent. The on-chain reading carries 60 percent.

• The answers. Ashborn reads every application itself, weighing originality, specificity, alignment, and effort. Template answers and AI-generated prose are flagged and removed from the running, whatever the rest of the score says.
• The wallet. A 30-point on-chain reading, documented in full below. It is read directly from Ethereum. Nothing is self-reported.
• Selection is by rank. The top 500 applications by final standing receive guaranteed allowlist. There is no fixed pass mark. Your position against the field is what decides.

The reading splits into six categories. Holdings carry 24 of the 30 points. Activity carries the remaining 6. Each category is scored from fixed thresholds, the same ruler for every wallet.

Every NFT you hold from a tracked collection adds that collection's reference floor value to your total. Three pieces from the same collection count three times. Blue chips and allied communities feed the same pool at the same weight.

How many distinct tracked collections you hold at least one piece of. Both lists count together: one blue chip and two allied collections is three.

The average time your tracked NFTs have sat in the wallet, measured from each piece's acquisition date on chain. Sweeping a floor the week before mint reads as zero. Diamond hands are measured here, not claimed.

Time since the wallet's first outgoing transaction. A wallet opened for the occasion carries no history, and history cannot be written backwards.

Total outgoing transactions the wallet has ever sent. A small signal, but a real one: it separates wallets that live on chain from wallets that exist on paper.

Whether the wallet has moved at all in the last 30 days. An active wallet and a less active one should not read the same.

Two lists, equal scoring weight. The difference sits outside the score: holding any allied community collection also makes the wallet eligible for the FCFS stage. Blue chips do not grant FCFS. All collections live on Ethereum mainnet.

Allied holders do not need to visit this site to keep their FCFS standing. The full holder set is read from the chain shortly before mint.

A wallet holding 1 Azuki and 2 allied community NFTs, with an average hold of 412 days, first transaction 3.2 years ago, 642 lifetime transactions, last movement 6 days ago:

The wallet also holds 2 allied collections, so it enters the FCFS stage regardless of where the application lands. If the written answers read at 70 of 100, the final standing becomes:

• Read, not claimed. The reading happens automatically when you sign in with your wallet. There is no form to fill and nothing to submit.
• Refreshed every 7 days. Scores are cached for a week, and every wallet is re-read before the final selection so late changes still count.
• One ruler. Reference values and thresholds are fixed across all applicants. Two wallets with the same chain history receive the same score, without exception.
• Deterministic. The reading is pure arithmetic over public chain data. Your dashboard on the application page shows exactly where every point came from.
