# How to MINT?

Full guide

How to deposit funds into the ZKFair network and mint ZKFair Cat Caff NFTs.

1\. We will need **Bridged USDC.e** in the **Metamask** wallet on the **Arbitrum/Optimism** network.

1.1 Withdraw **USDC.e (Bridged)** from the exchange to your wallet on the Optimism/Arbitrum network.

After withdrawing funds, proceed directly to step 2.

1.2 If you already have funds on the Arbitrum/Optimism network, simply swap them for USDC.e on a DEX. For example, this can be done on Uniswap (<https://app.uniswap.org/swap>).

**USDC.e Contract Addresses:**

\- Arbitrum: **0xff970a61a04b1ca14834a43f5de4533ebddb5cc8**

\- Optimism: **0x7f5c764cbc14f9669b88837ca1490cca17c31607**

1.2.1 Go to Uniswap DEX and connect your wallet.

1.2.4 Confirm the transaction in Metamask.

2\. Great, we now have USDC.e to **transfer them to the ZKFair network**. We can use the Orbiter bridge (<https://www.orbiter.finance/?source=Arbitrum\\&dest=zkfair\\&token=USDC>).

2.1 Go to the bridge and connect your wallet.

2.2 Choose:\
&#x20;  \-  TOKEN: USDC\
&#x20;  \- FROM: Arbitrum\
&#x20;  \- TO: ZKFair

3.2 Enter the desired quantity of NFTs to mint.  Confirm the transaction in Metamask.\
\
Refer to the minting rules and conditions here: <https://zkfairscatcaff.gitbook.io/docs/roadmap>

**IMPORTANT:**\
Wait for the start of the next round on the website <https://zkfaircaff.io/> after the previous one. An announcement will be made. You will be automatically redirected to the next round and NFT rarity according to the distribution rounds.

**Note:**\
You may encounter the following error: \
This means you don't have enough funds (NFT cost + Gas) or you want to exceed the NFT limit on the wallet.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/pntpe6ewFgMYLKvKOFMppLaMcGthYkeqJSe94txH25bFJI2rJ6A_gHyOJZhR-JhajYuoS679pbAm8FwJIrL-3tqO7rx-ZOeV5qVceikr5f0aBMrPOpFE5Clt8zXjmQiFLjkYwjoidyCI_23bRybZ-KA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Also**, it's crucial to know that the gas cost on the ZKFair network varies from $0.25 to $1 for each NFT you want to mint. Therefore, ensure you have enough funds for gas.

**"Happy minting, peeps! 🚀"**
