The CNC Node Sale launches tomorrow. It's the only way to generate $CNC, the lifeblood of the Captain & Company economy.
There is no pre-mine, and all tokens are generated by node holders. This is the first great fair-launch node experiment in all of web3 gaming. Every $CNC in existence will be created through nodes, and only 1,000,000 will ever exist. The maximum supply of the $CNC token is 10,000,000,000. Tokenomics here.
This is your complete guide to minting. No fluff. No filler. Just what you need to be ready when the cannon fires. Climb aboard!
A Word of Warning
As with all things in crypto, only use official channels. Don’t fall for imitators. Scammers will be out and about. Your best defense is to trust links only from official channels:
Before The Mint
As you gear up for the Captain & Company Node Sale tomorrow, we highly recommend reading our latest blog here. It breaks down everything you need to know before diving in.

Bridging to Abstract
If you want to bridge your Blast $KAP, head over to: https://kap.foundation/bridge
If you already have $KAP in your Ethereum wallet and want to bridge it to Abstract, here’s the documentation for guidance on the Abstract mainnet bridge: https://docs.abs.xyz/tooling/bridges
If you want to buy $KAP on Abstract, this is the contract address:
0x7d597148d32738CfFA4d3D503437bFf7e6EB38b2
, or use the relay link: https://www.relay.link/bridge/abstract?toCurrency=0x7d597148d32738cffa4d3d503437bff7e6eb38b2
Minting A Node
Once the nodes go live, head to: kap.foundation/nodes.
Connect your wallet.
Make sure you’re on “Buy Nodes”.
If you have a referral code, definitely use it for that 5% rebate! Just drop the Twitter/X handle of the user who referred you. Look out for guilds, communities, or creators in the referral program. Note that the 5% rebate will be sent back to you in a few weeks, and only if the Twitter handle you add here becomes approved for the program.
Mint a node! You can choose to pay with $KAP tokens (for a 30% discount) or Ethereum.
Confirm the transaction — you’ll get a notification after hitting the mint button.
You’re set! Congrats, you now have a $CNC node!
→ Next step: You can either delegate your node or create a pool and become an operator.
Delegating A Node
Head to “Operate Nodes” if you want to delegate
Pick an operator! Check both the Owner Split and Node Split — they matter! The Node Split is how much you’ll be keeping of what’s mined using your nodes. Note that some guilds may give bonuses later for delegating to their pools. Once you’ve picked, click “Manage”.
From there, manage your delegation. Select how many nodes you want to assign to the pool. Again, review the pool parameters!
4. Once done, hit “Confirm” You should get a transaction notification.
Claiming $CNC
Now you’re at the good part. After your nodes have been operating for a day, go back to the Operate Nodes tab, and under the pool you’ve delegated to click “Claim.” This credits tokens to you from the pool.
To then withdraw the tokens to your wallet, head to the Claim tab in the top right. Just go to “Claim”. Enter the amount of $CNC you want to redeem, and make sure you know the redemption rates! More on that here.
Come back after your selected redemption period has passed, and select Confirm on your pending redemption to initiate the withdrawal.
You’ll be asked to select a “Minting address” of where you want the tokens sent to. Very important, make sure you enter a normal Ethereum address here, as they’ll be minted on mainnet Ethereum! Do not use an AGW as your minting address. It is OK to have your nodes in your AGW, but do not set it as the “minting address” on this page when you claim.
And that’s it! Your node keeps working while you chase glory elsewhere. Proof of work earnings ahoy!
→ For individuals who want to operate their own node pool, you can reach out to us on Discord to get your pool sorted!
