Mint VRC10¶
The Mint VRC10 module is a placeholder in the current Console beta. This page explains what it is intended to do, what is still unpublished, and why any "early mint access" offer is a scam.
Who this is for¶
Anyone who has seen the module in the Console navigation and wants to know whether they can mint now. The short answer: not yet.
What VRC-10 is¶
VRC-10 is the token standard the Bitgold Console will use for issued assets. A token standard defines the shared rules a token contract follows — how balances are represented, how transfers are called, and how wallets and explorers can display the token without custom code.
A standard is plumbing, not a promise of value. Anyone can create a token; the standard does not make it useful, liquid, or safe to buy.
What the module will cover¶
The Console's placeholder describes two areas: minting VRC-10 assets and managing a governance position. When the module ships, expect it to answer:
- who is allowed to create or mint a token;
- what the supply limit and minting schedule are;
- what the fee is, and who receives it;
- which wallet actions are needed to mint versus to manage an existing position.
None of those details are published yet. The VRC-10 specification is still pending, and this page will be rewritten when the module and the standard are live. Do not rely on a third-party blog, a chat group, or a screenshot for the rules.
Status¶
| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Can I mint a VRC-10 token today? | No. The page is a placeholder. |
| Is there a launch date? | Not published. |
| What does minting cost? | Not published. |
| Which wallets are supported? | The module will use the connected EVM wallet, like the rest of the Console. |
| Is there a whitelist or early-access list? | No official one. |
Avoid early-access scams¶
The gap between "announced" and "live" is where scams operate. A fake launch page can collect a "mint fee", a signature, or a recovery phrase long before any real module exists.
- No one can unlock minting for you. A module that is not live cannot be activated by a support agent, a moderator, or a wallet "upgrade".
- No official pre-sale. Treat a private mint allocation, a guaranteed spot, or a discounted fee as a red flag.
- The Console is the only place the flow will run. A lookalike domain with the same design is still a different site. Check the address bar for
app.bitgold.network. - A signature can be enough to drain an account. You do not need to share a recovery phrase for an attacker to succeed; an approval or a
permitsignature can grant spending rights. Read every prompt. - Bitgold will never ask for your recovery phrase or private key. No mint, claim, or allowlist step requires them.
If someone offers to mint for you
Sending BTG to a person who promises to mint "on your behalf" gives that person your funds and no obligation to return anything. There is no escrow and no reversal. Wait for the official module.
What to do now¶
- Use the modules that are live: Dashboard, Staking, and Migrate.
- Keep your wallet and recovery phrase offline and separate. Keep Your Keys Safe is the routine to follow before the module ships.
- Watch the official Bitgold website and developer documentation for the announcement. This page will be updated with the real rules, fees, and steps.
