Edition Drop

The Edition Drop contract is best used when you want to release many NFTs based on the same asset and uses the ERC1155 Standard, also known as "Semi-Fungible Tokens".

The Edition Drop contract allows you to define the conditions for when and how your users can mint an NFT, including allowlists, release dates, and claim limits.

Use Cases & Examples

You could use the Edition Drop contract to:

  • Create NFT Memberships such as our Early Access Cards that you want your users to claim
  • Release an item in your game for a limited-time
  • Create 100 NFTs based on one art piece, and allow users to claim one per wallet

Using the Contract in the SDK

This page outlines how you can create and configure your edition drop contract using the dashboard.

You can also use our Web3 SDK to create and interact with your contract.

Creating & Configuring the Edition Drop

Creating an Edition Drop Contract

Deploy the edition drop contract to any of our supported networks using the button below.

Lazy Minting NFTs

Lazy minting is the process of uploading your metadata for your NFT(s) without minting them yet.

This is useful for when you want other wallets to mint NFTs from your drop into their own wallets.

To lazy mint NFT(s), click Create to lazy-mint a single NFT, or Batch Upload to lazy-mint multiple NFTs at once.

Create or Batch Upload Buttons

To get started, you can use one of our example files for CSV or JSON metadata.

Setting Claim Phases

A claim phase is a set of conditions that define when and how your users can claim an NFT from your drop.

The Edition Drop contract supports multiple sequential claim phases.

Within a claim phase, you can define:

  • When the claim phase will start
  • How many NFTs do you want to drop
  • How much do you want to charge per NFT
  • What currency do you want to use
  • Which wallet addresses are allowed to mint (allowlist)
  • How many NFTs can be claimed per transaction
  • How many seconds do wallets have to wait between claims

To configure the claim phase, click the Claim Phases tab and Add Claim Phase.

Airdrop NFTs

Click Airdrop on the token you want to use, and upload a .csv file containing a list of addresses you want to airdrop NFTs to.

Airdrop

In the .csv file, you must specify an address column and a quantity column, representing the address you want to send the NFTs and how many you wish to send. You can download our example CSV File to get started.
