Hey Everyone,
We wanted to give a quick update about the Runi whitelist sale that's scheduled to start tomorrow. Please note that users will need to connect their ETH wallet to Splinterlands in order to participate in the whitelisting process. A how-to guide is outlined below.
Overview:
While there will only be 6,500 Runi in total that will be available to be minted when the mint goes live at the end of October, we have a lot of flexibility around how the whitelist spots are given out and we want to be clear that the whitelist spots are given out completely at the discretion of the Splinterlands company.
We want to be clear that we do not condone players circumventing the limitations we put in place around whitelist spot purchases, for example using multiple different game accounts and/or Ethereum wallets along with automated scripts to attempt to purchase large amounts of whitelist spots before other players get a chance to participate. Our goal is that everyone who is ready when the sale goes live will be able to get a whitelist spot, but if that doesn't happen for whatever reason we reserve the right to take away whitelist spots from anyone found circumventing or taking advantage of the system (with a refund of any VOUCHER tokens spent of course) and reallocate those spots in any way we see fit.
Additionally, while we have planned to create 2000 whitelist spots for the guaranteed mint and 50% discount for our community which will be for sale tomorrow, we may also create more of those whitelist spots to give out or sell to our community after the initial sale at our discretion.
As mentioned above, our goal is that everyone who is ready when the sale goes live and makes a reasonable effort to participate quickly will be able to get a whitelist spot, but ultimately the awarding of whitelist spots is completely at our discretion and we will do what is needed to ensure that happens.
Getting Set Up For The Whitelist:
In order to participate in the whitelisting process on Sep 22, 2022 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 6pm UTC, users will need to link their ETH wallet to Splinterlands. A guide can be found below on how to set up an ETH wallet, as well as connect it to Splinterlands.
1. How do I set up an ETH wallet for the Runi whitelist?
While there are many different ETH wallets for you to choose from, you can follow the link below for setting up a Metamask wallet. Metamask is one of the most popular options and comes as a browser extension. In addition to the guide below, there are many other guides available if you google search setting up a Metamask wallet.
https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/5291435126420
*Please note that Metamask is a “hot wallet”. If security is a concern, it is best to use a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor.

2. Do I need to have funds in my ETH wallet for the whitelist?
- You do not need to have any funds in your ETH wallet for the whitelist process. You will only need to sign a transaction verifying that you own the connected wallet.
3. How do I connect my wallet to the sale page?
- Make sure that you are signed into the HIVE account you intend to use to purchase your Runi Whitelist spot.
- Navigate to the Runi shop page.
- On the top-right corner of the Runi countdown page, you will see a button to connect your ETH Wallet as seen below.
- Click the “Connect Wallet” button. This will send a “Signature Request” to your ETH wallet to validate you own the connected wallet.
- Verify that you have selected the ETH wallet that you intend to mint from. If the address is correct, simply click the “Sign” button to validate the connected wallet.
- The button in the top right corner should now show your validated & connected ETH address.
4. I accidentally linked my ETH wallet to the wrong Hive account. Can I undo this?
- Up until the time of the whitelist sale, you will have the ability to unlink from your hive account. To do this, please click the dropdown arrow and select “unlink”. After the whitelist sale begins, your ETH wallet will be associated with the Hive account it is connected to and cannot be unlinked.
5. Are whitelist spots transferable?
- Whitelist spots are non-transferable. Please ensure you are purchasing with the ETH wallet you intend to mint from.
6. What happens if I don’t use my whitelist spot come mint time?
- All whitelist holders will have approximately 7 days (exact time TBD) to mint your Runi. If your Runi goes unminted during this time, the whitelist spot will be released and the Runi will become available to the general sale. No voucher refunds will be given.
Stay tuned for more updates from the Splinterlands!

Thanks for the well written instructions! It isn't my foray into ETH, but it is nice to see this prepared at least a day ahead for those that would need it.
On an un-related note, I am against increasing the 500k pre sale pack, so I feel like including the following message is a great remedy and disclaimer at making it as clear as possible what we are putting our hard earned vouchers and money towards. Well done for recognizing this, and getting out ahead of a potential problem. Kudos to the team! 👏
"Additionally, while we have planned to create 2000 whitelist spots for the guaranteed mint and 50% discount for our community which will be for sale tomorrow, we may also create more of those whitelist spots to give out or sell to our community after the initial sale at our discretion."
I think the Runi Whitelist will be a fast and furious sale! I will be there with my 100 vouchers ready to push and shove!
I really want more than 1, can it be confirmed that 1 account can get whitelisted for more than 1 runi?
Tkx
I think it was confirmed in the last post a few days back mate.
This is a really important question.
Like tarazkp, I thought that it was confirmed that one SL account could have more than one ETH wallet. However, reading the description above and the fact that "After the whitelist sale begins, your ETH wallet will be associated with the Hive account it is connected to and cannot be unlinked" -- It seems as if it is NOT possible. Could someone please verify or tell us how it is done?
THANKS!
Is it possible to do this from mobile or through the keychain browser?
Edit: And is it possible to transfer the Runi between Eth wallets?
Edit Edit:
If I link the wallet on PC, will I be able to whitelist from the shop on mobile web (the shop is there) and spend the vouchers, or does it require another eth verification?
Hey @tarazkp
I was able to connect my ETH wallet by downloading the Metamask mobile app and using it's built-in browser.
Problem with that is that you need to manually enter your Hive private key when paying the vouchers (I assume that action will need private active key), so I've set it up on an empty Splinterlands account - just to be sure
Hmmm interesting.
I am going to have to play around with it to see!
How did you test if it would sign a transaction through splinterlands?
I sent a fraction of DEC to the account, and was able to send it back, so I guess it should work.
Another option I've seen people suggest is to use a mobile browser on which you can use Chrome extensions (like the Kiwi browser). I haven't played around with that, though, so I don't have a clue how that would work.
I have it linked through MM, but I have no idea what happens when I click "buy" - will it require another transaction? If not, I would use my hardware connected wallet as the eth wallet - if so, it is impossible to do from mobile for me.
Currently, I have another wallet connected.
In my head though, it should:
All good.
But, no one can verify.
I'm just crossing my fingers it will work. If not, I'm f*cked 😆
P.S.: I'm pretty sure buying requires private active key, not posting key.
Damn it. :D
I believe No as you should use the same device and same browser to ease out the process.
So I linked my ETH address on the Runi page. But should I also link the same ETH address on the 'Link External Wallet' page in the settings?
this questions is important
Heads up to those pre-linking their ETH wallets for the Runi whitelist.
I linked my wallet through the Runi buy page yesterday. Just now when I logged in again it was no longer linked. I re-linked and closed the browser. Then to check I opened the browser again and went to SP and saw it was once again NOT linked.
The ETH wallet link does NOT appear to be saying connected.
Make sure you check carefully tomorrow right before the sale.
Shouldn't that be 11am PT?
There is a countdown on shop page which should tell you how many hours left https://splinterlands.com/?p=shop&tab=runi
Also, mint price in ETH would be announced before whitelist event, is that decided?
"When purchasing a whitelist spot, players will be required to enter their Ethereum wallet address, and then once the mint goes live that Ethereum wallet address will be guaranteed to be able to mint one Runi NFT for each whitelist spot purchased at half of the normal mint price, or roughly $250 of ETH plus gas fees."
Thank you, Matt. I knew you were going to take care of the community.

I purchased some ETH last week in preparation for this... and, ah, that hasn't gone well just at the minute, but hopefully it turns around before the mint.
