Mint CRC without Relay Service

As the Relay Service is sometimes flaky, this guide shows how to mint UBI CRC directly by calling the smart contract from Remix IDE.

Step-by-Step UBI Minting

Note: For this to work you have to have xDai (less than $1) loaded in your MetaMask/Nifty wallet and switched to xDai Mainnet

  1. Get your circles.garden profile address (‘Show Profile’ / browser URL (Circles UBI | Wallet) / address after /profile/)

  2. Note down the address shown in the URL of your browser, eg. Circles UBI | Wallet it starts with “0x”

Thank you @alculexum for this guide.

Can someone from the Circles team confirm this is a legit way of minting our Crc?

Yeah, this is calling the same function you would call if you would use circles.garden

@alculexum - by the way - you don’t need to guess your token address by the way you described it - you can just look it up in the settings.
