# Mint price

The Mint Price has been set at 0.075 $ETH to allow for approximately two year runway for the project.

It also allows for a fair payment for the artists which is something we are very keen to promote.

We firmly believe that The DPS Gen 1 artwork will be the seminal collection on Arbitrum Nova and has artwork that tells a story. Even without [voyaging](https://damnedpiratessociety.gitbook.io/the-damned-pirates-society/voyaging "mention") or the [pirateverse-alpha-build](https://damnedpiratessociety.gitbook.io/the-damned-pirates-society/pirateverse-alpha-build "mention") the profile picture is the value alone. We aim to be the BAYC of Arbitrum.

We have already been running for over a year and have shown we are able fiscally manage this going forward.
