# Creator Access

### The 8mint platform is only accessible if you are holding an NFT pass. There are two types of passes:

* The Cool Creators pass gives you access to a toolkit developed specifically to help NFT project owners run successful, automated minting campaigns.
* The Smart Collector pass is designed for NFT seekers. It allows them to discover blue-chip NFT projects still in their early stages and participate in raffles and minting events in a completely secure ecosystem.

For just the next month, access to 8mint will be FREE with one of our limited trial passes. After that you need to purchase either a Cool Creator or Smart Collector pass to get in. Both will be capped at just 10,000 each - so rare and valuable - but with substantial discounts going to trial participants and early subscribers. Enjoy your free month and follow us on Twitter [@8mint\_Official](https://twitter.com/8mint_Official) for more info on how to get the coming discount!

You will find more information about how to set up both types of accounts in the following documents.
