What is an Editions Contract?
An Editions Contract is a creator-owned smart contract built on the ERC-1155 standard on Ethereum. Unlike ERC-721’s one-of-a-kind tokens, ERC-1155 lets multiple collectors own copies of the same token—perfect for limited or open-edition works.
At Transient Labs, you control it fully—your contract, your rules. Mint new editions whenever you want, with no interference from us.

How Creators Use It
What: Release multiple copies of an artwork or digital asset.
Why: Ideal for limited runs or open editions—think prints, not one-offs.
Example: A 50-piece photograph or an infinite-run digital poster.
Key Features
The Editions Contract (ERC-1155TL) is loaded with tools to streamline your process and boost collector value:
Unlimited Minting: Add new editions to your contract anytime you’re ready.
Mint Pages: Sell editions via Mint Pages!
Batch Token Creation: Mint and distribute multiple tokens in one transaction—cost-effective for big airdrops.
Batch Burn: Collectors can torch multiple tokens simultaneously. There is no burn-redeem tool on Transient.
Metadata Updates: Tweak token metadata if needed, but keep it rare to preserve trust. Contact us if you'd like to make a metadata update.
Admin Access: Add admins to mint, approve sales, update metadata, or inscribe stories. Only you (the owner) can adjust royalties or Royalty Guard.
Story Inscriptions: Add text (like exhibit history) to tokens for provenance. Collectors can contribute too—if you enable it. Your call.
On-Chain Royalties: EIP-2981 and Royalty Registry compliant—royalties flow automatically across marketplaces.
