# Lock-To-Mint a Totem

> *Your totem holds much promise… It is the clay that you will mould into something of your own. Destiny calls in time for tea. Your unknown wishing warrior aspires to do great deeds and to discover who he or she really is an uncharted world.*

***LOCK-TO-MINT: A WORLD FIRST***

We will be launching Pathfinders 10K on Lilypad, our launchpad for LTM-NFTs. If you mint a Pathfinder, you will enjoy an up-only, first-of-its-kind mint.

Your funds will get locked into your NFT, while there it gives Project Pathfinders yield. But here's the twist, you will always be able to dissolve your NFT to get back your funds.

Rest and relax with our riskless mint and with the help of our partners at Phase Labs.

***TOTEM EXPLAINED***

The totem is a placeholder/access token. It is an unborn Pathfinder that will reveal after the user has played through Chapter 1 of the Storybook Mint site. On the tech side, it is an LST-NFT that you can use to store and reclaim your mint funds.

***Once you are all set… You will have to head to our Storybook Mint site and connect your wallet to begin!***
