Here are the steps you need to to Launch your own 5K, 10K, … NFT Project!
If you like we can handle the whole process for you.
From artwork outsourcing, random generation, contract setup, and website
Marketing
- Discord – Start building your own community or team up with existing ones
- Twitter – Gain followers or team up with existing communities that may be interested in buying your NFTs
- Other Social Media, or Email Marketing
Note: We do not provide marketing for your projects
Artwork
Create Folders with your PNG artwork to generate with (Keep the same size for all like 2000 x 2000), Usually this is 5 Folders (Layers) or so
1-Backgrounds
— 1.png
— 2.png
— 3.png
2-Body
— 1.png
— 2.png
— 3.png
3-…
Create Names and Rarities of each PNG file (in a spreadsheet is best)
– Layer1 (Backgrounds)
— 1, Sunny Day, 10%
— 2, Rainy Day, 5%
— …
– Layer2 (Body)
— 1, Strong, 20%
— 1, Weak, 3%
— …
– Layer(…)
Next Steps
- Create a Pinata Cloud Picnic Account (Gateway is needed so no traffic is ever limited when reading NFTs)
- Generate the Images and Metadata for your project (We can do this for you, no problem!)
- This can be PNGs/GIFs/etc and JSON metadata should be using your rarity
- If you have 1:1 NFTs please mix into random locations and update their metadata
- IMPORTANT Verify your metadata traits match generated images properly
- Upload the PNGs/GIFS/etc first as a Folder to Pinata (Copy your CID for the Folder)
- Change all your JSON metadata files with your own gateway and folder CID like this using your gateway
- — “image”: “https://iceturtlestudios.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/(PASTE CID HERE)/1.png”,
- IMPORTANT Verify Metadata image links work properly (10.json has 10.png and is readable in browser)
- Uplolad the Metatdata as a Folder to Pinata (Copy your CID for the folder to be used in the Contract URL)
- Upload a Hidden.png (or .gif) and Hidden.json to pinata as well if your not revealing your project yet and want to use that first.
Contract Information (Uses ERC721A – Gas Optimized)
- We customize and setup the smart contract and deploy for you!
- Provide Owner ETH Wallet Address (Use Coinbase Browser Wallet Address for admin functions like withdrawals, reveal etc..)
- – Only this wallet can control contract (I transfer ownership to this after deployment)
- Provide Withdraw Address (will be locked into contract so all withdrawals go here can be any address like coinbase, metamask,etc..)
- Price for your NFTS like
- – Presale = 0.1 ETH
- – Public = 0.5 ETH
- Presale (Merkle Allow List) Wallets (if doing a presale)
- Presale and Public Wallet Mint Limits (2 per wallet, or 10 per wallet. Usually public is any amount)
- How many NFTs to make like 5K or 10K etc… (will be locked in project)
- Name of Collection like “Magical Collection” etc.. (will be locked in project)
- Symbol of Collection like “MGCVA” etc.. (will be locked in project)
- Hidden Metadata JSON URL (from CID and gateway) – uploaded on Pinata
- Base Metadata JSON Folder URL (from CID and gateway) –
- UPDATE this On Public SALE Day ONLY – So its not visible earlier in contract (using Admin Page)
- Provide website for Mint Page and Admin (WordPress, Godaddy, etc..) – I need FTP or SFTP access
Notes:
- Contract can be deployed at anytime (Artwork does not need to be ready, just hidden placeholder)
- Presale and Public Sale can be turned on/off at anytime (default is off, until your ready to launch).
- Presale Allow list can be changed anytime but ideally it is uploaded once beforehand.
- Pricing/Limits for Presale and Public can be changed, but ideally its set once as well.
- Ownership can be changed but not Withdraw Address. Everything else cannot be changed in the contract.
- Reveal your collection whenever you like! (Doing a reveal is optional)
- Note: Once you Reveal the collection (all tokens will be visible on chain, even if not minted out yet)
Pricing
- You must provide All Artwork, Naming, Rarities
- (contact us if you need artwork outsourced for you, cost varies) – Try Upwork or Fiverr as an idea to find an artist
- We will randomly generate your Graphics/JSON Metadata (I use Python Scripting) (Optional)
- We provide a Customized Contract along with Deployment
- Mint Page – Works with MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet Connect
- Admin Page – Locked to your Owner Wallet Address (Only you can interact with ownership functions on the contract)
- Recommended to use Coinbase Browser Wallet
- Support on Launch Day! (Revealing NFTs, etc)
Option #1: $2,500 + (1%-10% of Contract Sales)
- $500 is for cost to deploy smart contract (May change due to ETH Price)
- – No Cost on Polygon (better for games, but Art should be on ETH)
- $2,000 portion can be paid on launch day (Presale or Public sale, whichever is first, using sales to pay is fine)
- Percentage is based on Mint Pricing (Negotiable)
Option #2: $500 Cost + (10-20% of Contract Sales)
- $500 is for cost to deploy smart contract (May change due to ETH Price)
- – No Cost on Polygon (better for games, but Art should be on ETH)
- Percentage is based on Mint Pricing (Negotiable)
- Save money upfront, but pay higher percentage!
