A 1/1/X collection is a type of NFT collection with individual, unique artworks (1/1) within the same collection. You can create a 1/1/X collection using ERC-721 contracts for the unique pieces or ERC-7160 contracts to include multiple creations or media types within a single token.

Here's How to Get Started:

Before deploying your contract make sure to bridge some ETH to Shape.

  1. Use an official Shape bridge.

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

  3. Specify the amount of ETH you want to bridge.

  4. Confirm the transaction and wait for it to be processed.

  1. Deploy an ERC-721 Contract

    • Begin by deploying your ERC-721 contract on Shape. This contract will serve as the backbone for your 1/1/X collection.

  2. Create Your Draft 721 Tokens

    • Create draft tokens for the pieces you want to feature in your collection.

    • IMPORTANT: Don't mint any tokens at this stage. Stacks utilizes lazy minting, meaning the collectors mint the tokens, saving you on unnecessary gas fees.

  3. Create Your Stack

    • Select "Create Stack" on the contract dashboard to set up your mint page.

    • You can choose all the artworks you'd like to include in the Stack.

    • Arrange the tokens in the order you’d like them minted. The mint order is determined by a number in a purple box next to each token, with #1 being minted first.

  4. Name Your Stack and Set the URL

    • Name your Stack. The URL slug will be automatically generated based on the name, but you can edit it if needed.

  5. Add Your Payout Address

    • Enter the wallet address where you want to receive the primary sales revenue.

  6. Set the Start Date and Time

    • Choose the start date and time for your mint. This is when your collection will go live.

    • If you’re planning a pre-sale, this will be the start time for the pre-sale mint.

  7. Configure Pre-Sale (Optional)

    • Toggle on the pre-sale option if you want to offer an allowlist pre-sale mint.

    • Set the pre-sale duration: 1 hour, 2 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours.

    • Specify the pre-sale price.

    • Add Your Allowlist: Download the template, fill in the wallet addresses, and specify the quantity allowance for each address.

    • Important: If a collector’s pre-sale allowance is 2 and the public sale allowance is 5, and they mint 2 during the pre-sale, they can only mint 3 more pieces during the public sale.

  8. Set Up the Public Sale

    • Select the duration of the public sale: 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or no limit.

    • Add the public sale price.

    • Set the maximum mint allowance during the public sale.

    • Note: The wallet limit sets the maximum number of mints a wallet address can mint during the public phase. For example, if the wallet limit is 5 and a collector mints 3 during pre-sale, they have 2 mints remaining during the public sale.

  9. Configure Your Mint Page

    • Add a description of your project or token.

    • Upload a thumbnail image to represent your collection.

    • Add informational sections to detail specific aspects of your collection, such as prints, artist bios, or shout-outs to collaborators.

    • Add custom FAQs to answer any questions collectors might have.

    • Include social media links to your X (Twitter), Warpcast, and website.

  10. Preview Your Mint Page

    • Review your mint page to ensure everything looks perfect. If changes are needed, click “Continue Editing” at the bottom right to return to the configuration page.

    • If everything looks good, click “Launch Stack” to make your collection live!

  11. Approve the Stacks Contract

    • Approve the Stacks contract, send the transaction, and sign it to complete the launch.
