The claim to verify

Connect materials state that 546,862 ERC-721 NFT credentials have been minted across the Connect ecosystem as of September 21, 2026. Here is how to independently check that figure and understand what it does and does not tell you.

How to check NFT counts

Step 1: Find the ERC-721 contract addresses

Learn2Earn NFT credentials are ERC-721 tokens minted on the WIN Blockchain or on Ethereum, depending on which part of the ecosystem issued them. The official Connect Reference Guide and the governance portal are the authoritative sources for official contract addresses. Do not use addresses from unofficial Telegram groups or social media posts.

Step 2: Check on the block explorer

For WIN L1 NFTs, go to win.elevatescan.com and search the contract address. The explorer will show the total supply of tokens minted under that contract.

For Ethereum-based ERC-721 tokens, go to etherscan.io, paste the contract address into the search bar, and look at the Transfers tab or the token's total supply.

Step 3: Aggregate if needed

If the ecosystem uses multiple contracts across multiple chains, the total NFT count is the sum of supply across all contracts. That makes verification more involved — you need to check each contract individually and add the results. A mismatch between the claimed total and the on-chain totals is worth investigating.

What this proves

A verified NFT count confirms that that many token-minting events occurred on-chain. It confirms on-chain activity has happened at a scale consistent with the claimed participation numbers. It is a meaningful signal.

What this does not prove

  • It does not confirm that each minted NFT represents a unique person — wallets can mint multiple credentials over time
  • It does not confirm the quality or depth of the learning that produced each credential
  • It does not confirm any return, reward value, or future token price
  • It does not substitute for checking the governance records, the token supply, or the block explorer more broadly

Use the NFT count as one data point in a broader verification process — not as a standalone proof of anything.
