# Founding Pass: 1,000 one-of-one Sneakers > 1,000 Founding Passes, each a different Sneaker design and each one of one. Mint yours free on Monad testnet. It’s your early access to StrideMon. Built on Monad testnet for a hackathon. STRIDE has no monetary value. Last updated: 2026-10-19. Pick one of 1,000 Sneaker designs and mint it free. It’s your early access to StrideMon, and the app gives you a Founder Sneaker in the same design. Free. It can’t be sent or sold. It isn’t a token and never turns into one. ## The dates - **Preview.** Browse, take the quiz, heart your favourites. - **Early hour**: Saturday, 28 November 2026 at 13:30 UTC (19:00 IST).

On Saturday 21 November, early access starts: the game starts over, and only founders can play. Sneakers and STRIDE from before then don’t carry over. ## From waitlist to your first walk 1. **Join the waitlist.** Leave your email before the waitlist window opens. We email you a code only when you ask for one, and once when it opens. Nothing else. 2. **Mint in the waitlist window.** For 48 hours, people on the waitlist mint first. Check your email, connect a wallet and pick a pass. It’s free, with no gas to pay. 3. **Get the app with the same wallet.** Install StrideMon on Android and sign in with the wallet that holds your pass. That’s how the app knows you’re a founder. 4. **Run in your Founder Sneaker.** The app gives you a Founder Sneaker drawn in your pass’s design. Your first walk laces both. ## The 1,000 designs Every design is one of 10 shoe shapes, in one of 14 colour families and 10 colourways, with three details of its shape (like the side, heel or sole) and a lace colour. No two are the same. By rarity: Common 650, Uncommon 250, Rare 90, Legendary 10. The shoe shapes: - **Runner.** The everyday trainer: a medium sole, a padded collar and a rounded toe. Its Legendary is Earthshine. - **Racer.** A race-day shoe: a tall rocker sole with a plate, a bevelled heel, a pointed toe. Its Legendary is Afterglow. - **Trail.** Built for dirt: a lugged outsole, a rubber toe bumper and a tough upper. Its Legendary is Fogbow. - **Court.** A clean, low court classic on a tall flat cupsole. Its Legendary is Fire Rainbow. - **Hoop.** A basketball high-top: a padded ankle collar, a long lace run, a thick cupsole. Its Legendary is Glory. - **Chunky.** The "dad shoe": a tall layered midsole, a bulky upper, overlays on overlays. Its Legendary is Nacreous. - **Sock.** A knit sock runner: a tall stretch cuff and no separate tongue. Its Legendary is Moonbow. - **Skate.** A skate shoe: a puffy collar, a fat tongue and a flat sole that wraps the toe. Its Legendary is Airglow. - **Spike.** A track spike: low and pointed, with a spike plate under the forefoot.

No. The pass and your Founder Sneaker can’t be sent or sold. The pass isn’t a token and never turns into one. ### Is the pass my Sneaker? No, they’re two things. The pass is your membership card: you mint it here, and it shows you’re a founder. The Founder Sneaker is the shoe you walk with: the app gives it to you, drawn in your pass’s design, when you sign in with the wallet that holds the pass. ### What is the waitlist window? The first 48 hours of minting. Only emails that joined the waitlist before it opened can mint then, so check the same email you joined with. After that, anyone can mint what’s left. ### Do I need a wallet now? Not to browse, heart passes or join the waitlist. To mint, you need a wallet such as MetaMask. You sign a free message to prove it’s yours: there’s no gas to pay. ### Can I play the app before I have a pass? Until early access starts on Saturday 21 November, anyone can try it with a free Sneaker. Then the game starts over, and only founders can play until all 1,000 are minted or the last date in the schedule. Sneakers and STRIDE from before early access don’t carry over. ### Why does my pass have two numbers? The pass number, like #0137, is the design: which of the 1,000 you picked. The founder number, like Founder 42, is the order you minted in: the 42nd founder to mint. ### How many can I mint? One pass per email and one per wallet. ### Which wallet should I use? The one you’ll use in the app. The app knows you’re a founder by the wallet that holds your pass. MetaMask works on Android and as a laptop extension. ### The code didn’t arrive. Look in spam and promotions for an email from hello@stridemon.xyz. You can ask for a new code after a minute, and only the newest code works. ### My wallet won’t switch to Monad Testnet. Add it by hand in your wallet: network name Monad Testnet, RPC URL https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz, chain ID 10143, currency MON. Then switch to it. You can sign in and mint without it, but the app needs it. ### The robot check won’t load. It’s Cloudflare Turnstile. Content blockers can stop it: allow stridemon.xyz, or try another browser, then reload the page. ### Someone minted the pass I wanted. Each pass exists once, and the first mint wins. Nothing is minted for you, and you see three similar passes nobody has yet, each one tap away. ### I lost the wallet that holds my pass. Write to us from the email you minted with. Once a code sent to that email checks out, we can move your pass and your Founder Sneaker to a new wallet, by hand. That’s the one way a pass ever moves. ### What do rarity and the gold frame mean? A pass is as rare as its rarest layer. About 1 in 10 passes gets a gold frame at random when it’s minted. Both are only for looks. ### Where are my favourites saved? In this browser only. We never see them, and clearing the site’s data removes them. ### What happens after all 1,000 are minted? No new passes, ever. StrideMon opens to everyone with a free normal Sneaker. If they aren’t all minted, it opens on the last date in the schedule anyway. Still stuck? Write to yashmittalmm@gmail.com or ask on X: @stridemon (https://x.com/stridemon).
