What is a 1/1/X Contract?
A 1/1 Contract (ERC-721TL) is a creator-owned smart contract based on the ERC-721 standard—the foundation of NFTs on Ethereum. “1/1” means each token is one-of-a-kind, with one owner at a time. At Transient Labs, you run the show—your contract, your rules. Mint new tokens anytime, with no limits and no interference.

Single Artwork
What: A standalone contract for one unique piece.
Why: Amplifies exclusivity and provenance—ideal for rarities.
Example: A once-in-a-lifetime mixed-media work.
Key Features
The 1/1 Contract (ERC-721TL) is packed with tools to fuel your creativity and collector trust:
Unlimited Minting: Add new tokens to your contract whenever inspiration strikes.
Blind Mints: Drop mystery 1/1s using Mint Pages. Collectors unwrap the surprise.
Listing Options: Auction or set fixed prices for your 1/1s directly in The Lab.
Airdrops: Mint or send tokens to any address—reward loyal fans or fill custom requests.
Batch Minting: Mint multiple tokens to one address for the gas cost of a single mint. It saves you a ton on gas fees!
Synergy (Pre-March 23, 2025): Retired for standard metadata updates. It once let creators propose changes for collector approval—post-3/23/25 contracts streamline this.
Story Inscriptions: Add text (like exhibit notes) to your tokens for provenance. Collectors can contribute too—if you allow it—your choice.
Admin Access: Delegate admins to mint, approve sales, update metadata, or inscribe stories. Only you (the owner) can adjust royalties or Royalty Guard.
On-Chain Royalties: EIP-2981 and Royalty Registry compliant—royalties flow automatically across marketplaces.
Burn Functionality: Collectors can burn tokens, wiping them out permanently—like shredding a print. However, there is no burn & redeem tool on Transient.
