Congratulations on deploying your first contract; here is how to mint your first token!
Creating your first token:
After you've deployed your first contract, you will be directed to the Contract Dashboard
1. Navigate to the contract dashboard for the collection you want to mint tokens. Click one of the "create" buttons.
2. Click "create token"
3. Complete and fill in the General Information, which includes uploading the token media, the title, and the description.
Token Title: This is the name of this specific token.
Description: This description will appear in the details section of supported exchanges.
Token Media: This is the primary work associated with your token. File types supported: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, HTML, GLB, MP4, MP3. Max size: 300 MB
4. To add an external link, attributes, and tags, click the "advanced" drop-down.
External Link: This link will appear on the item's detail page on supported exchanges like OpenSea.
Attributes: You can create your own attributes. For this specific example, I created Medium and Movie as attributes. Then, I named each one Medium = AI and Movie = Planet of the Apes.
Tags: Similar to hashtags on Twitter, these add visibility and discoverability to supported platforms. A tag example includes "photography," "AI," and "Skulls".
5. Once everything is filled out and you want to mint it, click "preview token".
6. If you want to release this with a Stacks Mint Page, save it as a draft. DO NOT MINT.
7. If you want to mint it, so you can transfer it or list on an external marketplace such as MakersPlace, Foundation, SuperRare, or others. Click "mint token"
8. By default, the token reciepient field is filled out with your wallet address, meaning the token will be minted to your address. If you want to change the mint recipient, paste the corresponding wallet address.
9. If everything looks correct, click "mint onchain". Mint your token by clicking "Send Transaction." We purposely made the minting process into a double confirmation.
10. Your token has been created, and you will be directed back to the contract dashboard.
