How to launch an NFT collection
- Prepare the artwork
- Generate it at nftexport.io
- Launch it at xrp.cafe/launch
Here is a video tutorial (~24 mins):
1. Prepare the artwork
A traditional NFT has two parts: art and metadata.
Art is art, metadata are details of the NFT:
- Name
- Description
- Properties (Background, Shirt, Pants, etc)
Let’s say we’re creating a collection of 200 NFTs called Rocket Apes.
How should we name the first NFT?
- Rocket Apes #1
- Rocket Apes 1
- Rocket Ape #1
- Rocket Ape 1
Here we would name it Rocket Ape #1 because it’s a single NFT, and we like the #1 at the end. The collection would be named Rocket Apes (plural), while each individual NFT would be named Rocket Ape #1, Rocket Ape #2, Rocket Ape #3, etc. (singular).
For the collection description, we would do something simple, like: 200 Rocket Apes on the XRP Ledger!
For the properties we would go over all the folders and file names, and make sure they all look good:
- background -> Background
- banana_Hat -> Banana hat
- shirtType4 -> Hawaiian
This type of detail work is what often sets apart high quality collections vs. low quality ones, so be sure to take your time.
