Fixing "Active Mint Detected"

Learn why this issue may happen and how to fix in

Written by Marco Peyfuss

If you've ever run into the following screen, you may be wondering "why am I seeing this?" or "how do I fix this?".

Why you're seeing this

This warning means that you've successfully published a mint page for the contract (or token if minting editions). Only one mint page can be created at a time onchain.

Typically, we get contacted about this as an error. Whenever that happens, we've found the following pattern to be the culprit:

  • A creator goes to launch the mint page

  • As soon as the transaction to create the page is pending, they hit the "back" button or otherwise exit the page

This pattern successfully configures the drop onchain, but skips the part where the publishing happens and so our backend doesn't know that the mint page is ready to be published.

If you've done this, it's best to wait for the full flow to complete. Read the section below on how to fix this.

How to fix this

To fix this, you'll close the drop manually through Etherscan. Use the proper link from below.

Chain

1/1 or Multi-Creation

Edition

Ethereum

Shape

Base

Arbitrum

Once you've selected the proper link, follow these steps to close the drop.

  1. Connect your wallet

  2. Go to the function closeDrop

  3. Enter in your contract address for nftAddress

  4. If closing a drop for an edition, enter in the edition token id.

  5. Hit "write" and send the transaction

Once you've done that successfully, you can go back to The Lab to create/publish your mint page.
