The 'collections' tab is where you can create new NFT collections and manage your existing ones within a project. Please note that collections can't be moved between projects.
Now that you've created a project, let's create a smart contract, also known as a 'collection'. You can choose between two token standards for your collections - ERC1155, or ERC 721. To understand the difference between the two and the implications for your art, see our token standard guide .
The collection form contains the following fields, and is located in the center of the 'Create Collection' page.
You'll need the following information to create a collection, as well as a little bit of the native token for whatever blockchain you're deploying on to deploy the collection onto the blockchain that you're signed in to with your wallet. Both ERC-1155 and ERC-721 collections require the same information:
Blockchain - Use the dropdown to select the blockchain where you want to deploy your contract. It will initially display the current chain you're connected to. If you choose a different blockchain from the list, a prompt will appear requiring your signature to confirm the switch. This ensures you're ready to deploy and manage the associated gas fees.
Collection Name - This is name of your NFT collection and will appear on marketplaces
Collection Description - This is the description that appears on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea, along with the collection title.
Collection Ticker - This is a shorthand abbreviation of your collection name. Keep in mind that shorter, more memorable ticker symbols are generally more user-friendly and easier to remember. i.e. PUNK, BAYC, DEADFRENZ.
Collection Category - We use the collection category that you select to feature different types of NFTs on our gallery page. I.e. Profile Pictures, Photography, Sports, etc
Royalties: This field determines the percentage of each sale that will go to the creator of the NFT collection. Creator royalties are usually between 5% - 10%, but some marketplaces may have their own guidelines or requirements for royalties. It's important to set a fair and reasonable royalty rate that reflects the value of your NFT collection.
Revenue Recipient Address: This field determines where the revenue from NFT sales will go when a collector mints your NFT. By default, this field will auto-fill with the wallet you've connected to the site. However, you can change this address to another address of your choosing.
Give your collection a face by uploading a cover photo. This image will also be shown on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea.
