Please be aware, metadata and media is minted on chain and is immutable. This means you cannot edit the uploaded media or metadata once you have minted it. However if you do make any mistakes, you can always chose not to list the NFT for sale and therefore no one will see it on your storefront.
If you'd like to remove the collectible from your account, you can "Burn" it (i.e. delete it). See our guide on burning NFTs for more details.
From the Collectibles page, click to Create NFT and follow the steps provided.
This is where you add the metadata associated with your collectible.
Here's a brief rundown of what's available:
Title: Appears alongside your NFT in your storefront and other storefronts (such as OpenSea)
Artist: Assign the NFT to one of the artists you manage in your account. Their name and image will be displayed alongside the NFT on your storefront.
Description: Add as much context as possible to give potential buyers a good understanding of what they're purchasing. Use hyperlinks if you'd like to reference your own websites or online accounts.
Attributes: Attributes allow you to assign unique traits and properties that make up your NFT item. You can highlight anything you like, and these can be used to promote scarcity.
We provide 2 preset licenses for granting usages to the owners of your collectibles; Personal Use or Personal & Commercial Use.
Non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable worldwide rights for the following personal uses:
You can customize your license to include or exclude any of the above terms, however by design the following usages cannot be disabled for personal use:
Display online (inc. without limitation, as a profile picture)
Distribute (i.e. reselling to someone else)
Reproduce (i.e. transferring the NFT item)
Perform (i.e. playback of associated media)
You can set it as a single edition, where only 1 item is available for sale or a limited edition where multiple copies of the same item will be available to multiple buyers.
It's important to note that when listing your collectible for sale, if it's a limited edition of multiple copies, you are able to list a variable quantity for sale as part of a planned release schedule.
For example, if you mint a collectible with 100 editions, you may choose to list only the first 25 editions for sale initially. Once this release has sold out, you may list the next 25 and so on until you have sold out.
Alternatively, if you plan to release multiple "drops" of the same or similar collectible items as part of marketing strategy, you can mint multiple collectibles where the volume/drop # is included as part of the title or description.
You must choose whether or not you wish to receive a royalty payment when your collectible is re-sold on secondary marketplaces such as OpenSea, Rarible and more.
We recommend you enable royalties on all collectibles you create in order to receive ongoing revenue related to your inventory when it is sold.
You can set the royalty % between 0.01% to 50% max.
As part of enabling resale royalties, you must also define a royalty recipient wallet address. By default, your Revelator Pro smart contract wallet is pre-filled. This means royalties will accrue in your Revelator Pro account for you to withdraw and pay to your rights holders.
As part of the NFT creation, you may choose to immediately list your collectible for sale on your storefront. This combines minting and listing your collectible in the same blockchain action.
If you choose to proceed, you must configure the following sale information:
Sale Price: set the price you wish to list your collectible for.
This price is set in either ETH (on Base) or POL (on Polygon)
Quantity for Sale: If your collectible is a limited edition, you may set the amount of editions you are listing for sale out of the total available.
When ready to proceed, click Create NFT at the bottom of the screen to proceed in minting (and listing if enabled) your collectible. You will be shown a small preview of your collectible and asked to confirm in order to proceed.
On proceeding, your media will be uploaded to IPFS, and your collectible will be minted on blockchain. If you chose to additionally list your collectible for sale, it will then be listed directly for sale on your storefront too.
Revelator NFTs follow the EIP-1155 standard so even though you are uploading a single media asset, you are actually minting a collection (that can include a single collectible item of one or multiple copies of the same media, or multiple different collectibles made up of different files and metadata).
