What is a Mint Page?
A Mint Page is a dedicated web page that allows creators to launch NFT drops directly to their audience. It supports releasing:
Editions using the ERC-1155 standard.
Unique 1/1/X collections through the ERC-721 or ERC-7160 standard.
By utilizing Mint Pages, creators can:
Customize the minting experience with personalized descriptions, FAQs, and more.
Control the sales process without indexing their contracts on external marketplaces.
Benefit from a 0% creator fee structure, maximizing revenue from their work.
Important:
For ERC-721 Contracts: Only one live Mint Page can be active per ERC-721 contract at a time. Once the sale has ended (sold out, time ended, or manually closed), you can create a new Mint Page for that contract.
For ERC-1155 Contracts: Yes. Each token within an ERC-1155 contract can have its own live Mint Page simultaneously.
