If you do not have a wallet, visit chia.net to download Chia 1.4 on a desktop computer and create a wallet. “Wallet Mode” is the easiest way to get started if you’re new. Once your Chia wallet is open, click on “NFTs” and copy your wallet address at the top right. Note your wallet address is different from the “Wallet Number” on the upper left.

In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the wallet address used to enter the Sweepstakes will be deemed to be the winner. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive, or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
