They never sold guaranteed access to influencers, VCs, DAOs, or anyone trying to buy their way in early. If you got a GTD spot it's because you actually contributed not because you had money or a big following. Also a few projects have already reached out to them wanting to run their own campaigns through Pulse (their mindshare/rewards system). They are not looking at any of those until after mint, because right now the whole point of Pulse is to reward people who are holding or staking @0xhazels. That's who it's built for first. And two things people keep mixing up: Getting a "Hazels" spot doesn't mean your mint is free. Being on the whitelist doesn't guarantee you'll actually get to buy it just gets you a shot. There's still one more piece of this they haven't shared yet. That's coming very soon.
