# Random Minting

{% hint style="info" %}
Minting Types are compatible with Placeholder. For instance, you can use Specify Minting along with Random Minting to temporarily hide the metadata, and reveal at a later time, being a random with delayed reveal.
{% endhint %}

#### How does random minting work?

Our random minting doesn't rely on any server, it is a **truly on-chain secure random minting**. In our v1 contracts, we were forced to use a two-step solution, but with our new v2 contracts, collectors can **mint NFTs with random minting in just ONE STEP**. This saves gas, time, and hassle compared to the previous version, making it a significant improvement. Also, instead of selecting random minting you can always use the placeholder and reveal after a collection is sold out.
