Minting & auctions
The following is a quickstart guide to creating contracts, minting assets, and listing assets on your marketplace frontend as a mint or auction.
Overview
Our asset creation tab in the admin tool consists of three separate flows that comprise the entire contract set and minting & auction page creation process:
-
Contract set up
-
Metadata configuration / asset creation
-
Listing or auction creation
Step by step
Contract set up:
- Access the Asset Creation tab in the menu on the left and hit the create new contract button in the top right.
-
Hit the ‘Create New Contract’ button on the next modal to confirm you’ll be the owner on the contract. On the next tab you’ll:
-
Input the collection name, symbol, and image along with optional description and external link.
-
Choose the token type. Only one token type can exist on the NFT smart contract.
-
Choose chain
-
Optional: enable meta transaction if you plan to enable gasless primary or secondary sales in the future via Gelato.
-
Choose the wallet address for mint and royalty payouts
-
-
The next step is to configure metadata to the contract as individual assets. We support individual asset creation to start, with .CSV upload and other multi-asset upload capabilities coming soon.
-
Add asset name, description, info about the artist, media, and optional trait info
-
Optionally you can mark assets as ‘Phygital Items’ up top to collect shipping information that we can then share with your fulfillment partner via API.
- Toggle ‘Assets redeemable separate from purchase’ to let users claim the physical item in the future, or leave untoggled
-
Click ‘Finish’ when you’re done or ‘Duplicate’ / ‘New Asset’ to add more
-
- You can now hit ‘List Assets’ on the contract modal in the assets creation tab when ready to either list or create an Auction
-
To list assets for purchase:
-
Choose the currency you’d like to list in (native currency or loyalty points if enabled)
-
Choose the price and the assets you’d like to list - to see which assets remain unlisted toggle over the ‘Unlisted Assets’ text in the modal’s topline.
- Note: you can either set the assets you want by asset ID either by comma separation or - (ie. 1,2,3,4 and 1-4 do the same thing)
-
Choose listing duration start and (optional) end time
-
-
To list assets for auction:
-
Add an auction name, description, duration, and currency
-
Note: Auctions can be tied to one or more than one onchain asset, so please add sufficient description to explain to the user what they’re bidding on
-
Choose your auction mechanics:
-
Minimum Bid: The minimum amount any bidder can start the auction with
-
Minimum Bid Increment: The minimum increase on any bid from the previous highest bid
-
Reserve Price: The minimum bid that is valid to win the auction, this is the most important of these three inputs
-
-
Multi-Winner Auctions Only: By default, multi-winner auctions charge each bidder the amount they bid, if ‘Reverse Dutch Auction’ is toggled we’ll instead refund all winners the difference of their bid and the lowest price winning bid
-
Blind Auctions Only: If toggled on, users can only see their own bids. All other bids are hidden
-
Choose the prize!
-
- You’re live! View these listings as part of your marketplace!
