These drops can be traded on our secondary marketplace or redeemed for physical items. * **Trade & Earn:** Secondary sales generate royalties for creators, ensuring they benefit from their work long-term. Collectors can buy and sell with another seamlessly. * **Create:** Creators can use our product designer to create their products. DYLI handles every stage of the product lifecycle, allowing creators to focus on their craft. # Our Commitment DYLI is not just about making collecting fun and rewarding. It is about making it more sustainable. {% hint style="info" %} **Did you know that shipping just one t-shirt produces 2kg of CO2? That means 500 shirt orders generates a ton of CO2!** {% endhint %} At DYLI, we’re **committed to making a difference**. Our approach to drops reduces shipping and packaging waste, contributing to a more sustainable planet. Plus, you can track how many boxes and how much CO2 you’ve saved.

How DYLI Drops Work: Creators launch exclusive drops, which users can purchase directly. After the initial sale, items enter the secondary market, where traders can buy and sell while enforcing royalties on every transaction. Once a collector secures a drop, they can either resell on our secondary market or redeem it for the physical product, completing the cycle of creation, trade, and collection on DYLI’s platform.

> By keeping products digital until redemption we are able to reduce the impact of the collectibles market by thousands of shipments per year!

Ready to unleash your creativity? Let’s dive in and show you how to design standout shirts from start to finish! ## 1. Start with a Clear Vision ### Embrace Your Inner Creator At DYLI, we believe everyone has a creative spark waiting to be unleashed. Even if you’ve never considered yourself an “artist,” now’s the time to let your imagination run wild. Think of it as an opportunity to bring your ideas to life—one T-shirt at a time. ### Define Your Purpose Before diving into the design process, clarify why you’re making the shirt in the first place. Some popular reasons include: * **Expressing Individuality**: Wear your passions on your sleeve—literally! Whether it’s a clever quote or an eye-catching image, a custom T-shirt is a fun extension of your personal style. * **Raising Awareness**: Designing shirts for a cause, merch giveaways and promotions, promoting your new memecoin CTO, community events, or even gaming tournaments. Custom products for a cause helps build camaraderie and spreads the word about what’s important to you. * **Brand Promotion:** Imagine your brand making a statement the moment someone spots your t-shirt or hoodie. Custom apparel weaves a story about who you are and what you stand for—whether you’re a content creator, an emerging brand, or the proud owner of unique IP. Feature your logo, tagline, or signature visuals to instantly elevate brand recognition and captivate your audience wherever they go. When your product has a clear purpose, your design choices will align more naturally. Plus, you’ll be creating something people truly want to wear. {% hint style="danger" %} Remember to respect intellectual property rights.

Identify Your Target Audience ### Know Who You’re Designing For Once you’ve established your goal, think about the audience who’ll love your T-shirt most. Tapping into the right niche sets you up for a successful design that resonates with your community. * **Do Your Research**: Who are you aiming to reach? Gamers, sports fans, web3 degens, music enthusiasts, or streetwear collectors? * **Observe Trends**: If you’re catering to book lovers, for example, incorporate quotes from popular novels or illustrations inspired by classic stories. * **Use Market Insights**: Is your audience all about vibrant colors, or do they gravitate toward minimalist designs? Gather feedback, browse social media, and pay attention to styles that click. {% hint style="info" %} **DYLI Tip**: If you’re not sure where to start, hop on social platforms relevant to your niche. Listen to conversations, see what’s trending, and let that guide your design approach. {% endhint %} ## 3. Gather Inspiration ### Dig for Design Ideas Not sure how to make your T-shirt vision a reality? Let inspiration spark your creativity. Here are some ways to find it: * **Online Design Communities**: Platforms like [Behance](https://www.behance.net/search/projects?tracking_source=nav20), [Dribbble](https://dribbble.com/shots/popular), and [Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/ideas/)showcase countless T-shirt designs, from artsy illustrations to bold typography. Browsing the web and traditional media can help you discover fresh color palettes or unique layout ideas. * **Pop Culture & Trends**: Keep an eye on what’s happening in music, movies, sports, or even viral social media trends. You never know what might spark an exciting concept for your design! * **Everyday Surroundings**: Look around your city, your workplace, or even your favorite café. Sometimes the best ideas come from the simplest moments. DYLI Tip: Create a quick mood board by saving images, notes, and color swatches.

Pick the Perfect Tee ### It All Starts with Your Audience Selecting the right T-shirt goes beyond just looks—it’s about matching your customers’ preferences. From fabric composition and brand reputation to price point and print methods, every detail matters. ### Factors to Consider 1. **Fiber Content & Fabric**: Look at whether it’s 100% cotton, a poly-cotton blend, or organic cotton. Each offers a different feel and print outcome. 2. **Brand & Style**: Some brands cater to trendy, form-fitting styles, while others excel in basics and durability. 3. **Price & Quality**: Balance your budget with the level of comfort and construction you want to offer. ### A Few Popular Options * **Unisex Staple T-Shirt (ASColour)**: Perfect for fashion-forward customers who appreciate a modern fit. * **Unisex Basic Softstyle T-Shirt (Gildan)**: Great for budget-friendly collections that still deliver on comfort. * **Unisex Cotton T-Shirt (Comfort Colors)**: Ideal for a retro/worn look. ### Experiment with Multiple Styles Before committing to a single tee, try mockups (or samples) of several options in your DYLI account. Offering different styles and fits in your shop helps you appeal to a broader range of customers—no need to box yourself into just one choice. DYLI Tip: Within the DYLI designer, you can preview how your design looks on different shirt brands. Use these your designs as side-by-side comparisons to decide which tee best represents your vision! {% hint style="success" %} **DYLI Tip**: Within the DYLI designer, you can preview how your design looks on different shirt brands.

Explore Your Production Methods ### Match Your Design to the Right Technique When you want your finished T-shirt to look exactly like your vision board, it’s crucial to pick a printing method that complements both your artwork and your choice of fabric. Each option has different requirements, so let’s break down the possibilities. #### Direct-to-Garment (DTG) * **Best For**: Designs that feature plenty of colors or detailed artwork. * **How It Works**: A specialized printer sprays the ink directly into the garment fibers, ensuring rich, long-lasting colors. * **Ideal Fabrics**: Primarily cotton, since the ink needs to bond effectively with the fabric. {% hint style="success" %} DYLI Tip: If your design has complex gradients, multiple hues, or photo-like detail, DTG is the way to go. {% endhint %} #### Direct-to-Film (DTF) * **Best For**: Crisp, multi-colored designs that need sharp detail and color vibrancy. * **How It Works**: A film with your design is heat-pressed onto the fabric, which can be cotton, fleece, nylon, or blended materials. * **Ideal for**: Photographic images, illustrated artwork, or complex color schemes. {% hint style="success" %} DYLI Tip: DTF offers a smooth finish and excellent durability across various materials, making it a versatile choice for different apparel items. {% endhint %} #### Embroidery * **Best For**: High-quality, timeless designs—such as logos, monograms, and simplified graphics. * **How It Works**: The design is digitized and stitched onto the garment with thread, creating a raised, textured look. * **Ideal For**: Polos, caps, jackets, or heavier T-shirt fabrics. {% hint style="success" %} **DYLI Tip**: Keep designs relatively simple—fine details may not translate well in thread. Also, check color limits and embroidery area size before finalizing your concept. {% endhint %} By selecting the right method—be it DTG, screen printing, sublimation, DTF, or embroidery—you’ll ensure your T-shirts not only look incredible but also stand up to everyday wear.[ Consider your design’s complexity, color palette](/get-started/seller-hub/creator-studio/creator-guides/creating-the-perfect-print-file-dtg-dtf-etc.), the desired style, and the fabric—and let DYLI do the rest! ## 6. Bring Your Design to Life ### Prioritize Visuals Visual elements are the heartbeat of any T-shirt design. Whether you’re showcasing captivating photos or eye-catching illustrations, the right imagery breathes life into your creation. Even a simple company logo can pop if it’s arranged in a visually appealing layout. {% hint style="info" %} **DYLI Tip**: If you’re building brand merch, ensure that your logo is high-resolution and follows any brand style guidelines. This way, you’ll stand out and look professional. {% endhint %} ### Choose the Perfect Placement You have plenty of options when it comes to positioning your design on a T-shirt—front, back, sleeves, or even multiple placements at once. * **Test in the DYLI Studio**: Use our in-platform mockups to see how your T-shirt will look from different angles. This helps you identify the best print location before ordering samples. * **Consider Cost**: Multiple placements (like front and back, or front and sleeves) can boost your product’s final price. Balance style and budget to find the sweet spot. DYLI Tip: Check out our Placement Guide for step-by-step instructions on common print areas and sizing recommendations. {% hint style="info" %} **DYLI Tip**: Check out our Placement Guide for step-by-step instructions on common print areas and sizing recommendations. {% endhint %} ### Make Magic with Color Color can instantly grab attention and influence how people feel about your design. Don’t underestimate its power! * **Brand Alignment**: If you have established brand colors, incorporate them, but also look for complementary hues to keep the design harmonious. * **Vibrant or Subtle?**: Bold tones like bright oranges and neon blues add a playful, energetic vibe. Meanwhile, neutral or pastel shades convey a more timeless, understated look. * **Printing on Dark Fabrics**: Don’t worry if your design is bright but the tee is black. DYLI will add a white under base to maintain color intensity. ### Experiment with Fonts Text can take your T-shirt design from “nice” to “unforgettable,” but clarity is key. * **Choose Your Style**: Bold typefaces exude modern energy, playful fonts scream fun, and elegant lettering highlights sophistication. * **Keep It Readable**: If you’re mixing multiple fonts, do so sparingly. Too many styles can distract from your core message. * **Visual Hierarchy**: Use larger, bolder fonts for headlines and simpler fonts for subtext to guide the viewer’s eye. {% hint style="success" %} DYLI Tip: Test your fonts on smaller screens (like a phone mockup) inside the Creator Studio— if it’s legible there, you’re good to go. {% endhint %} ## DYLI Drop Checklist: {% hint style="warning" %} No matter how brilliant your design is, adhering to [printing guidelines](/get-started/seller-hub/creator-studio/creator-guides/print-requirements-and-design-checklist) ensures the final product looks just as you envisioned. {% endhint %} * [ ] Are the product and design colors complementary? * [ ] Does your typography match the theme of the product? * [ ] Is your design placed where it looks best (front, back, side, sleeves, etc.)? * [ ] Have you chosen a suitable print method (DTG, screen print, embroidery, etc.)? * [ ] Is your file format up to spec (vector or 300 DPI)? {% hint style="danger" %} If you can confidently answer “yes” to all of the above, go ahead and order a sample.

# Copyright and Trademark 101 guide At DYLI, we want to help you bring your creative ideas to life while respecting the rights of others. Here’s a quick rundown on copyright, trademarks, and what’s acceptable to use in your designs. ### What counts as intellectual property? Intellectual property (IP) is any creation of the mind, like artwork, photos, music, software, logos, or brand names. IP laws protect creators so they can benefit from their work. #### Copyright vs. Trademark * **Copyright** protects original works of authorship, like text, art, music, and film. * **Trademark** protects brand identifiers (like logos or company names) used to distinguish one business from another. ### Copyright law basics In many countries (including the US), copyright is automatic as soon as a creative work is made public in a tangible form (e.g., saved to a file or posted online). You can’t just copy someone else’s protected work without permission—even if you’re not making money from it. ### Fair Use Under certain circumstances—like commentary, research, or parody—you can use small portions of copyrighted work without permission. However, this is often a complex legal area, and commercial use typically doesn’t fall under Fair Use. When in doubt, consult a professional. ### Public domain Works that have expired copyrights or were never copyrighted at all fall into the public domain. If something’s in the public domain, anyone can use it without asking permission. Still, it’s best to cite the source as a courtesy to the original creator. ### Stock images and assets Not all “free” images are truly free to use for commercial products. If you’re using stock platforms, double-check licensing terms and confirm the uploader had the right to offer that work. When you’re unsure, create your own design or find materials explicitly marked as public domain. ### Best practices to stay safe 1. **Create original art.** If you make it from scratch, it’s yours. 2. **Double-check records.** Use resources like the U.S. Copyright Office or USPTO databases to see if a work is copyrighted or trademarked. 3. **When in doubt, ask for permission.** Written consent from the IP owner is your best bet if you’re set on using their content. 4. **Consult a lawyer.** IP laws can be tricky, so professional advice is invaluable. {% hint style="warning" %} At DYLI, we take copyright infringement seriously. We use a combination of human review, user reporting, and automated artwork scans to identify and address potential violations. If content is flagged or confirmed as infringing, we remove or halt production of the design, stop sales of the drop, refund original purchasers, and comply with all relevant laws (including the DMCA). This multi-layered process helps ensure our platform remains secure, fair, and respectful of every creator’s rights. {% endhint %} # Creating the perfect print file (DTG, DTF, etc.) Learn about the best practices for creating assets to be used for DYLI ## Tips for Preparing Your Design Files for DYLI
Tips for Preparing Your DTG/DTF Design Files for DYLI 1. **Save as PNG:**\ Use a transparent background and save your design as a PNG to avoid unwanted white backgrounds that can diminish your design quality. Always check transparency before uploading and consult our transparency guide. 2. **Choose the Right Color Space:**\ Create your design in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile for the best accuracy. Our system converts your file to CMYK for printing, so using the correct color space ensures your colors stay true. 3. **Use the Right DPI:**\ DPI (dots per inch) affects print quality. For most DYLI products, your file should be at least 150 DPI, while items like phone cases and stickers need 300 DPI. Avoid exceeding 300 DPI and maintain high DPI when resizing your design to preserve quality. 4. **Consider Garment Details:**\ When designing for items with seams, ribbing, or zippers, keep in mind that these features can affect the final print. For ribbed garments, the print might stretch and reveal gaps, so plan accordingly.
Transparency in DTG printing Learn how to avoid transparency mistakes in direct-to-garment (DTG) print designs Transparency (often referred to as opacity) is measured by how see-through colors are in a design. We distinguish two types of transparency: **Full transparency**—completely invisible graphic elements **Semi-transparency**—somewhat opaque, see-through graphic elements #### Why semi-transparency doesn’t work for DTG prints In DTG printing, all inks are concentrated pigments rather than diluted. This means that all DTG printers will try to make up for the missing information by spreading the ink. The prints will end up with a lot of gaps with a visible white base. This is most evident on dark fabrics. #### How to tell if your designs have semi-transparent elements Open your design in a graphic editor. If the background is peeking through your design, the design is semi-transparent. If you’re using advanced graphic editors (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) that indicate transparency, you can: * Unlock the background layer and turn off the layer by clicking the eye icon—if you see the checkered canvas through your design, it’s semi-transparent * Duplicate the design layer (use keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd ⌘ + J) and see if the areas in question become more opaque
How to get the best results with faded designs **Skip semi-transparent elements**\ If you have semi-transparent elements in your DTG print design, the printer will try to make up for the missing information by spreading ink over the area. You’ll end up with gaps where the white base will be visible. To prevent blotchy, uneven prints due to transparency, we advise using solid colors for your designs and avoiding pressure-sensitive brush tools.\ \ **Have a solid design element underneath**\ If the element has a background, you can create a solid element, add a layer mask, and then use a soft brush to feather the edges of the element. That will result in a much better-looking print. However, we don’t recommend trying to get a transparent design element by adding a design background that matches the color of the garment. All DTG prints have a white under base, so the colors in your design will come out lighter than the garment color. **Use a halftone effect**\ You can also use a technique called halftoning. Essentially, this means patterns of dots that create the illusion of an image.
### Not all fabrics are created equal Print outcomes vary depending on the fabric you choose. DYLI offers: * 100% cotton blends, * Poly blends (50% cotton, 50% polyester) * Tri-blends (50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon or 50% polyester, 37% ring-spun combed cotton, 13% rayon). Our standard printing process works best with 100% cotton products. If you’re looking for the most opaque result, 100% cotton is your best bet. This fabric has a better result due to its tight weave. However, if cotton is too thick, it can absorb the ink and the design may look more faded. Designs printed on **blended garments** will have a faded/vintage outcome with DTG printing due to their looser weave and combination of fabrics. The fabric of the garment will often show through the ink. For our DTG prints, we use Kornit machines and inks. Kornit uses high-quality, water-based vegan and cruelty-free inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own factories. # Creating the perfect embroidery file Embroidery adds a professional, textured look to your products. But because it’s stitched (not printed), your designs need a bit more prep work. Follow these best practices to ensure your embroidery comes out looking sharp every time.
1. **Flat embroidery:** A technique where stitches are embroidered flat on the surface. 2. **Thread colors:** All the available colors. 3. **Tatami fill:** Rows of run stitches. Used to fill large areas. 4. **3D Puff embroidery:** A technique where the embroidery is raised. Used mostly for big shapes. 5. **Satin stitch outline:** A long, straight embroidery stitch. Used to outline an object or to cap a 3D Puff design. 6. **Run stitch:** A single line stitch. Used for small design details. ## What to Keep in Mind * **Use DYLI’s Built-In Designer:** Our system automatically flags designs that are too small or unsuitable for embroidery. If something needs adjusting, you’ll get a prompt so you can fix it before production. * **Minor Alterations May Happen:** If guidelines aren’t fully followed, we might make small tweaks (like slightly enlarging text or adjusting spacing) to ensure the design embroiders correctly. * **Check for Updates:** Always look for any updates to our embroidery guidelines. We’re continually improving the process to help you create the best possible products. ## Common Issues and How to Avoid Them ### Standard Embroidery * **Text Too Small or Lines Too Thin** * Keep text at least **0.25″** tall (≈ 36pt font) and lines at least **0.05″** thick. * Smaller text or thinner lines can become illegible. * **Overly Detailed or Distressed Graphics** * Fine details don’t translate well to stitches. Simplify small elements and avoid rough textures. * **Solid Backgrounds & Big Fills** * Large filled areas can be stiff and increase stitch count. Where possible, leave blank space or simplify shapes. ### Unlimited Color Embroidery * **Tiny Designs with Many Details** * Avoid placing tiny elements smaller than **0.86″** (20 mm) wide. Small shapes can shift or look distorted. * **Gradients & Complex Color Transitions** * Threads aren’t great at smooth fades. Stick to large, solid color blocks if you want multiple colors. * **Neon or Metallic Threads** * Specialty threads look great but have unique requirements. Check with us about availability and best practices. ### 3D Puff & Side Embroidery * **3D Puff** * Creates a raised effect but requires special spacing and stitch planning. * **Side Embroidery** * Placement can be tricky on curved surfaces (like hats). Double-check sizing and area constraints. ### Tips for Success * **Simplify Your Design**: Bold shapes and clear text work better than highly detailed art. * **Check Font Sizes**: Make sure your letters and lines meet the recommended minimum sizes so they’re legible. * **Reuse Digitized Files**: If you have a design that’s already digitized and approved, you can save time and cost by using it again for the same type of embroidery. * **Join Our Community:** Connect with fellow creators and collectors on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/dyli).

This overview will walk you through popular t-shirt design placements, how to position your logo, and which placement works best for text or artwork. ## 1. Front Placements Front placements are classics—perfect for showcasing a single design or branding front-and-center. #### Center Chest * **Go-To Spot:** Highly visible, works well for smaller designs or quotes. * **Embroidery Tip:** Stick to around 4" x 4" for neat stitching. #### Left Chest * **Timeless & Subtle:** Great for logos, small symbols, and minimal text. * **Why It Works:** Branded tees with a left chest logo look polished and professional. #### Full Front * **Bigger Space:** Ideal for bold artwork or detailed designs. * **Keep in Mind:** Actual printable area varies depending on shirt size and print method. *** ## 2. Back Placements Putting your main design on the back can be less “in-your-face” than a front placement, while still offering high visibility. #### Back Outside Label * **Small Yet Impactful:** Perfect for logos or quick branding. * **Pro Move:** Combine with a front or sleeve design for a cohesive look. #### Full Back * **Go Large:** Show off artwork or big lettering across most of the back. * **Why It’s Popular:** Especially common for team jerseys or event shirts. *** ## 3. Sleeve Placement * **Stand Out from the Crowd:** A smaller spot with big impact—ideal for subtle branding. * **Pair It Up:** Combine a main front or back design with a tiny logo or text on the sleeve. *** ## 4. Seam-to-Seam (All-Over Print) * **Fully Customizable:** Print across the entire surface for a unique pattern or photo-realistic design. * **Design Considerations:** Watch for seams and collars so important elements don’t get cut off. *** ## 5. Inside Labels * **Brand Loyalty:** Adding your logo or brand name inside the collar helps reinforce brand recognition. * **Keep It Simple:** Make sure text is legible (font size of 10pt or larger) and meets any legal requirements (fabric content, size, etc.). *** ## Choosing the Best Placement for Your Design * **Logos:** Small areas like left chest, sleeve, or outside/inside labels keep branding subtle yet visible. * **Artwork:** Larger designs shine on the center chest, full front, or full back. * **Text-Based:** Quotes or slogans look best on center or full-front placements for easy readability. *** ## **Hats & Other Products**

If the digital asset is a DYLI asset, we will automatically check your account to confirm ownership. If it is a different digital asset, we will search all wallets that you have connected to your account. Learn how to connect external wallets here: {% content-ref url="/pages/hutCeb7TWnfp9OGp7OH2" %} [Connecting External Wallets](/core-features/your-profile/connecting-external-wallets) {% endcontent-ref %} If you own the required asset, then you will experience a typical purchase experience. If you do not, you will be notified via a popup that you do not have the correct asset to continue. {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that gating only affects primary and all products are available to anyone on secondary markets! {% endhint %} # Sale Formats TBD High level explanations and link outs. # DYLI Fair Drops Sell to your fans, not bots If a drop uses the DYLI Fair Drop lottery system, a set percent of the drop will be allocated to a random lottery that executes when the drop begins.
Anyone with an account can join the drop for a chance at getting the product before the sale starts. This ensures a fair allocation to real fans while still allowing for people to enjoy the thrill of collecting a hot drop.
How it works 1. You can find any drop labelled as "upcoming" and click on it 2. If applicable, you will see a button to join the queue 3. If you have enough money on your DYLI account, you will be asked to confirm that you want to join the queue. If you do not, you will be prompted to top up your account\ ![](/files/W5r7VzAmFVKzKs10uxxB) 4. Once in the queue, you will see how many others have joined and your chance of winning a product. 5. You can choose to leave the queue at any point before the drop begins\ ![](/files/R1ItvenCScAUUkunWJH1) 6. Once the drop begins, customers in the queue will be randomly chosen and charged for the product. If less people enter than there are product set aside, everyone will win!
How is my chance of winning determined? Your chances of winning are determined by how many people enter the lottery. Once more people enter than their are spots, your likelihood of winning goes down. The lottery process is done transparently and the results can be checked independently at any time.
# Presales Determine product interest before production! Presales allow creators to bring an idea to market and determine if demand is there. A presale can be for an instant or "build with us" product. If your product is a presale through "build with us," a creator must have the following: 1. A production partner in place 2. A clear understanding of the TOTAL costs to produce the product 3. An ability to articulate the production and shipping timelines, even if estimates All presales must have a clear end date. If the minimum is not hit before this date, all buyers will be refunded. If the minimum is hit, then funds will be released to pay for production. DYLI acts as an intermediary with the production partner to ensure funds are used appropriately.
A couple notes on presales... * Presales that failed to hit their production minimums will turn into a refundable state. * Some of these products will have redemptions LOCKED until DYLI receives the products and confirms their quality. This means that buying a presale could result on longer wait times before redemption.
# Mystery Sales The rush of loot boxes with instant gratification and secondary markets DYLI allows creators to launch mystery sales. In a mystery sale, the sale pages shows all of the possible products a customer may receive. After buying from the sale, they will immediately and randomly receive a digital version of one of the products. This format delivers the excitement of lootboxes, with several immediate advantages: 1. Buyers know what they win without needing to have anything shipped, which allows them to engage with the sale as much as they want. 2. If a buyer gets a particular product that they do not want, they can immediately list it for resale, which makes it available to other collectors who may be looking for that product. 3. Secondary markets are always available guaranteeing mint condition products and creating immediate liquidity for physical products Mystery sales are completely managed and fulfilled by DYLI, allowing creators to enhance the collector experience with no increased costs or operational constraints. # DYLI Dibs Share the wealth! DYLI Dibs adds a new twist to collecting by giving your customers a chance to win some of your drop’s profits! Launching a drop with the "dibs" mechanic turned on follows the same flow as any drop. Simply toggle the "Dips" option and enter the percent of profits you wish to share. Dibs works differently depending on whether the sale is for a set supply or an open edition:
Set supply If the sale has a set supply, one buyer will be randomly selected to receive the full profit share amount.
Open Edition * In an open edition, there are two winners: a random buyer from the sale and the finaly buyer of the sale. The reward is evenly split between the two. * Open editions for DYLI dibs are locked to 48 hours. However, the sale is extended by 15 minutes any time a purchase is made in the final 15 minutes.

What do I do if I send non-USDC or from the wrong blockchain? Fear not! Your DYLI wallet is a fully functioning EVM wallet that can hold any token on any EVM chain. However, to recover your funds, you will need to export your wallet. Scroll down to the danger zone section to learn how. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU NEED TO RECOVER FUNDS AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Once you have exported your wallet, you can move your funds from any chain to wherever you need to or continue to use your DYLI wallet as your broader EVM blockchain wallet.
