The Creator Toolkit provides an easy-to-use, no-code-required solution to mint, drop and manage NFT collections. Single-Editions allow creators to create a collection of identical NFTs at a fixed price.

Want to test out your collection? We recommend using our testnet before deploying your collection to mainnet. Testing on the testnet provides a risk-free environment where you can ensure that your collection functions correctly and identify any potential issues before they occur on the mainnet, saving you time and ETH.


Creating your Single-Edition

  1. Connect your wallet to zora.co

  2. Click the “Create” Button in the top right corner: This will display the contract types available to begin creating your collection.

3. Click the “Edition” Button to input your collection details.


Collection Details

Enter your collection details as listed below

**Required Fields

  1. Add the Editions Title** and Symbol**: The symbol is a token name for your edition. Note: The contract name and symbol cannot be changed once your contract has been created

  2. Add a Description**: This can be any information you want to explain or add to your edition, including external links.

  3. Check your file type is supported:

    1. Image: JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG

    2. Onchain image: SVG

    3. Video: MP4 (H.264 encoding is recommended)

    4. Audio: MP3, WAV

  4. Check your file size. We recommend a file size of 100Mb

  5. Upload your file**: Click the "Upload" button or drag and drop your file

    1. If you upload a small SVG file, you will be given the option to store it onchain. Storing SVG data onchain ensures its permanence as a part of the smart contract. The bigger the file, the higher the cost. This is only recommended for files less than 50KB, and the file cannot have any external links.

  6. Optional - Select a cover image. You can add or change your cover image anytime after creating your collection.

  7. Set the price**: Enter each edition's amount (ETH). The price can be updated once your edition has been created.

  8. Choose Edition Size: You can choose between

    • Fixed Editions” have a fixed number of editions that can be minted.

    • Open Editions” does not have a fixed number of editions, and the supply is unlimited.

  9. Optional - Set a start & end time: By default, editions will run forever from the moment they are created. You can select a custom start and/or end time for your edition.

  10. Add a mint limit to your collection. Using this function, you can limit the number of NFTs that each wallet is allowed to mint.

  11. Add the Royalty percentage: The royalty is a feature the creator sets in the minting process. This feature is a permanent, fixed per-cent of sale value sent to you on every sale.


Finalise your Single-Edition

Click the “Create” button to finish creating your edition. This will prompt you to accept a gas fee and follow the steps below:

  1. Approve the Gas fee: A message will appear within your connected wallet for you to approve the gas fee to complete the creation of your edition. Gas fees are the cost of interacting with the Ethereum blockchain. Gas fees are not set or collected by ZORA.

  2. Wait for your transaction to complete: Once you’ve approved the transaction within your wallet, the upload process has begun. You can check the status of your upload by clicking the "View on Etherscan" link in your connected wallet.

  3. Single-Edition Created: Once the transaction has been confirmed, your collection will be created and ready to share with your community.
