Ethernal Cubs Whitelist: Every Way to Earn a Free Mint Spot

Ethernal Cubs Whitelist: Every Way to Earn a Free Mint SpotFour routes onto the Ethernal Cubs whitelist plus a 1,500 spot Galxe quest: what each asks of you, which wallet to use, and the 28 October deadline.By Proud Lion Studios · 30 September 2026 · 5 min readEthernal Cubs is a free mint of 3,333 Orbs on Robinhood Chain. There is no purchase price, only network gas, which comes to a couple of cents. What it is not is open to everyone: every spot on the whitelist is earned, and the list closes at a fixed time.Each whitelist spot is one sealed Orb held for you at the mint. This guide covers every route onto the list as of 30 September 2026, what each one asks of you, and the deadline that matters. If you want the background on the mint itself first, start with how the Ethernal Cubs free mint works.The dates that matter

The close is the date to plan around. Anything you have not earned by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday 28 October does not make the list, because the allowlist is uploaded to OpenSea straight after it. Across the Gulf and Asia that deadline falls in the small hours of Thursday, so treat Wednesday night as the real cut-off.Route 1: Hold a Proud Lions Club or GUI Lions NFT on AptosEthernal Cubs comes from Proud Lion Studios, and the studio's earlier Aptos collections carry over. If you hold a Proud Lions Club or GUI Lions NFT, you earn whitelist spots directly, on top of anything you earn elsewhere.

Connect your Aptos wallet (Petra works) and sign a message. The signature proves the Aptos wallet is yours. It costs no gas and nothing moves between chains.

Keyless and social Aptos logins cannot produce that signature, so use a wallet with its own key.

Holder spots are not capped by the limit on task spots, so a bigger holding counts in full up to the per-wallet maximum.

Route 2: Earn it on the whitelist boardEveryone else starts on the board at ethernalcubs.ai. Sign in with the wallet you want your spots credited to, because a spot belongs to a wallet address and that is the address you will mint from.

Social tasks. Connect X, Discord and Telegram and complete the tasks listed. The checks run automatically where the platforms allow it, and a few are spot-checked by the team.

Quizzes. Short quizzes on the project, answered from the guide on the site. Pass one and the points land at once.

Referrals. Invite people to the board. Referrals count towards your points up to a set limit.

Tasks and quizzes earn points, and points convert into spots. There is a ceiling on how many spots tasks alone can earn one wallet, and the board tells you when you reach it. The board also shows where every spot came from, so you can see exactly what you have.Route 3: Community games and competitionsThe team runs games and competitions in Discord and on X, each with its own number of spots to give away. Winners have their spots entered by the team, and they appear on the board under the name of the game you won. Competition wins are not capped the way task spots are, so a good player can end up with more than one Orb this way.Route 4: Hold a partner collectionEthernal Cubs has partnered with other NFT communities, and holders of those collections can claim spots from the Partners section of the board. Each partner NFT can claim once, and each partner has its own allocation, first come, first served. When a partner's spots are gone, the board says so.Route 5: The Galxe quest, 1,500 spotsOn 28 September a quest went live on Galxe with 1,500 whitelist spots, first come, first served. It is the fastest route if you have never been part of the Proud Lion community. Open the Ethernal Cubs quest on Galxe and complete every task with the EVM wallet you will mint with:

Follow @ethernalcubs on X, then repost and like the pinned whitelist post.

Visit the Ethernal Cubs website, Discord and Telegram.

Follow the Proud Lion Studios space on Galxe.

Pass a three question quiz about the mint. Every answer is in the reading material next to it.

To enter, Galxe asks for one of its own checks: a Galxe Humanity Score, a Galxe+ subscription or a Galxe Passport. That filter keeps bots out, which protects the spots for people. Galxe winners are added to the official allowlist when the board closes, so a Galxe spot shows up in Galxe rather than on the Ethernal Cubs board.Use the right walletWhichever route you take, the spot is tied to one wallet address, and on mint day you mint from that same address on OpenSea. Use a self-custody Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask with Robinhood Chain added, never an exchange deposit address. If you have not set that up yet, our guide on how to mint an NFT on Robinhood Chain walks through the network settings, bridging ETH and checking a mint on the explorer.Staying safe while you chase a spot

The team will never DM you first. Anyone who messages you offering a spot, a fast track or support is not us.

Nobody can sell you a whitelist spot. Every spot comes from the routes above and nowhere else.

Never sign a transaction or a token approval to claim a spot. Earning a spot never asks for either. The only signature in the whole process is the free Aptos holder check.

The only official links are ethernalcubs.ai, @ethernalcubs on X, the Discord invite at discord.gg/ethernalcubs, and the Ethernal Cubs Orbs collection on OpenSea. Look-alike collections have already appeared on OpenSea, so check the collection link rather than the name.

Frequently asked questionsDoes a whitelist spot cost anything?No. Earning a spot is free, and minting is free apart from Robinhood Chain gas, which runs to a couple of cents.Can one wallet hold more than one spot?Yes. Each spot is one Orb. Task spots have a ceiling per wallet, while Aptos holdings and competition wins count separately, so a wallet can build up several spots across routes.How do I know my spot is secured?On the board, your allocation shows each spot and where it came from. For the Galxe quest, the reward shows as claimed in Galxe once you finish every task while spots remain.What do I actually get with a spot?A sealed Orb, not a finished Cub. The tier stays hidden until you open it, and what is inside is part of the reveal later in the campaign. Our how to play guide explains the game you will play with it.The short version: pick the routes that fit you, use one wallet for all of them, and finish before 23:59 UTC on Wednesday 28 October.
