Launching an open edition on Shape is a seamless process that allows you to reach collectors with ease and flexibility. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started: Before deploying your contract make sure to bridge some ETH to Shape.

Use an official <a href="https://docs.shape.network/documentation/tools/bridges" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shape bridge</a>.

Connect your wallet and ensure you're on the Ethereum network.

Specify the amount of ETH you want to bridge.

Confirm the transaction and wait for it to be processed.

- You can start by deploying an ERC-1155 contract on Shape. This contract will serve as the foundation for your edition. 


- Mint the token for the pieces you want to create an open edition of. If no editions are reserved, mint a token quantity of 0. If you want to reserve a specific number of editions for yourself, you can do so by specifying the quantity and minting to your wallet address.

- Go to the contract dashboard and select "Create Stack" to set up your mint page.


- Choose the 1155 token that you want to use for your open edition. Currently, you can only create one artwork edition per mint page. 

- Name your Stack and customize the URL slug if needed. This is the web address where collectors can find your mint page.


- Enter the wallet address where you’d like the primary sales revenue to be sent. This ensures you receive payment directly from the mint.

- Choose the date and time when your mint will go live. If you’re planning a pre-sale, this will be the start time for the pre-sale mint.

Select "Timed Edition" for a Standard Open Edition

- Timed Edition: Set a specific mint duration, allowing unlimited editions to be minted during that time.

- Depending on the minting mechanic you’ve chosen, configure the specific settings for your open edition, such as duration, price, and max tokens per wallet.

- Once everything is set, you can review your settings and launch your open edition mint on Shape. Your artwork is now live and ready for collectors to collect!
