A Mint Page is a powerful tool within The Lab by Transient Labs that revolutionizes how creators release and sell their NFTs. Formerly known as Stacks, Mint Pages enable artists to build and publish customized minting pages independently, offering a seamless way to showcase and sell their work directly to collectors without relying on external marketplaces. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of what a Mint Page is, how it works, and the level of customization available to artists.

How to Get Started

Ready to launch your own Mint Page?

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.

Key Features and Functionality

1. Direct Sales Platform

  • Independence: Sell your NFTs directly to collectors without intermediaries.

  • Control: Manage your drops, pricing, and sales phases.

2. Customization Options: Mint Pages offer a high degree of customization to reflect your artistic brand and provide collectors with a rich experience:

  • Content: Add detailed descriptions, stories, and background information.

  • FAQs: Preemptively answer questions to enhance transparency and trust.

  • Links: Direct collectors to your website, social media profiles, or other relevant platforms.

  • Sales Mechanics: Tailor the minting process with options like allowlists, wallet limits, and sales durations.

3. Lazy Minting: Tokens are minted by collectors upon purchase, saving you upfront gas costs.

4. Sales Phases

  • Pre-Sale (Allowlist): Offer exclusive early access to select collectors.

  • Public Sale: Open the mint to all collectors after the pre-sale phase.

5. Mint Duration Options

  • Pre-Sale Durations: 1 hour, 2 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours.

  • Public Sale Durations: 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or no limit.

6. Wallet Limits: Set maximum mint allowances per wallet for pre-sale and public sale phases to ensure fair distribution among collectors.

7. Payout Address: Specify the wallet address that will receive the mint revenue from your drop.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I create multiple Mint Pages on the same contract?

  • For ERC-721 Contracts: No. 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.

Cost to Set Up

    • Approximate Cost: 0.02 ETH at 50 gwei.

  • On L2s such as Arbitrum, Base, & Shape:

    • Approximate Cost: 0.00006 ETH at 50 gwei.
