So we’re good to go: last class on how to mint your first token on Ethereum Mainnet!

It’s been a wild ride, a 6 days walk through this amazing journey of minting your first token by leverage the power tool of Manifold.xyz

I’ve learnt so much on trying to sticking to the plan… but definitely this is not the right place where to talk about this!

Sticking to the minting, let’s go for the final round of how to mint your first token!

Getting back to our Manifold account and selecting the “Filippo’s Test” Smart Contract, we’ll be asked to move forward and deploy our contract on the Mainnet.

It’s of paramount importance to keep in mind that minting on mainnet means spending ETH (therefore money): make sure to have all the information correctly prompted so to avoid a re-minting of the contract (meaning spending more $$$).

By click on the deployment and of the contract, you will be asked to sign a contract to distribute the contract on the mainnet. In my case, this is how much I spent to do this:

If everything goes in the right way, well this is what happens 💎💎💎

YES, WE MADE IT 🕺🕺🕺

If you think our job is finished well… "Job’s not finished!” as Kobe Bryant once said. ⛹🏾‍♂️

Now it’s time to:

• create your page on OpenSea

• setup Royalties on-chain

• create a redemption page

I’ll jump on the third one as it’s the part that will help us create a real collection to be offered to our customers.

Getting back to our home page, if we click on Apps we’ll see there’s a chance to create a Claim Page:

Claim Page are of paramount importance as, from them, we’ll be able to create a dedicate sections where our users we’ll be able to fully mint our tokes.

Steps to follow are actually quite easy:

• you’ll be asked to create token to be redeemed and put all the information within it

• you’ll be asked to set rules, like the price of the token, the amount of tokens, any potential airdrops or csv that will receive tokens etc.

• you’ll be asked to customize your claim page

• last but not least, you’ll review, publish and pay a cheap price to create your Claim Page

Once done, you’re good to sell your NFTs on the outside! This is how my claim page is looking (even though I’ve decided to sell my first 49 NFTs from tomorrow 22nd of October)

Okay, that’s been a wild ride but I really hope you’ll enjoy it! I do think that there are some takeaways from this project we’ve went through and this are:

• web3 is something powerful and creating huge incentives. If you’re building, you have to take into consideration that you’ll spend money;

• you can do whatever you want to, just unleash your imagination;

• make sure that, once launching, you have to have a community to address
