This Guide will walk you through the process of creating a successful NFT Drop using Omnisea, a platform designed for launching and managing NFT collections. We will cover how to create a Collection, utilize advanced features such as Whitelist and Reveal, and share your dedicated Drop Page with your community.
Visit the Create Page at omnisea.org/create.
Connect your wallet to the network (blockchain) on which you want your Collection to be deployed.
Set basic Collection and Drop details.
Add NFTs by either "Uploading files" or "Importing from IPFS":
a) Uploading files: Click the "Upload files" button and choose all your NFTs files. Omnisea handles the IPFS upload and links the files with your tokens' metadata automatically. Note that as of now, Omnisea does not support uploading a dedicated .csv file containing the attributes of each token, but this feature will be added in the upcoming V2.
b) Importing from IPFS [Recommended]: If you already have uploaded your NFT files and metadata .json files on IPFS, use the "Import from IPFS" feature. Click on the button, paste your CID, check the checkbox if your first Token ID is equal to 1 (leave unchecked if the first Token ID is equal to 0), and set the number of tokens (maximum supply) in your collection. Make sure your IPFS directory contains the correct .json files based on your first token ID (0.json or 1.json). Here’s an example of how the directory with all the .json files should look like:
https://omnisea.infura-ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeihjolsuv6mjamz7nqgwrfj6oygvg5rkutkzwo5v6dkpstyg3vtwwy/
Set optional settings such as Royalties and Commercial Rights.
Launch and deploy your collection.
Access Settings from Your Profile page after deploying your collection.
Whitelist options: In the first tab of the Settings window, you can set the Whitelist. Paste the comma-separated addresses (.csv support coming soon), the price for the Whitelisted addresses (the Price set during the collection creation is the Public Mint price - here you can set the WL price), the limit of mints per address during the Whitelist phase and the Public Mint phase, and the start date of your Public Mint phase (end of the Whitelist phase). If you want to use the Whitelist settings, make sure to always have the checkbox at the bottom checked!
You can edit the Whitelist, including addresses, anytime you want, even during the minting. The only thing to remember is that the “addresses” field SETs the whitelisted address, not adds them - it means that if you have, for example, 1000 whitelisted addresses, and you’d like to add 100 more, make sure to paste all the 1100 addresses, and not just the new ones.
In the upcoming V2, Omnisea will introduce the Drop Scheduler, allowing you to set unlimited phases with separate addresses, prices, start dates, and mint limits.
Visibility options: In the Visibility tab of Settings, you can use the Reveal feature. Ignore the first section with the "Hide" button (it hides the whole collection) and set the "Non-revealed URL" in the second field by pasting the link to your .json file containing the temporary metadata - if set, it will be used for every token. Make sure this .json file includes the "image" property pointing to the temporary image or GIF.
When you're ready, update this field again as empty to Reveal the "real" tokens' metadata.
Team Pre-mint options: In this tab, you can simply pre-mint a desired number of tokens for you or your Team and partners. Note, that it works only BEFORE the first NFT is minted by a Collector. This mechanism was introduced to protect the minters.
View your Drop Page by clicking on your collection.
Share the link to your Drop Page with your community.
Request a Custom Link for your Drop Page, if desired.
Watch as Collectors mint your NFTs and enjoy the real-time remaining items counter.
All proceeds go directly to the collection owner's address.
By following these steps, you can create a successful NFT Drop using Omnisea, taking advantage of our user-friendly interface and advanced features. As the platform continues to develop, even more tools and settings will become available, making it even easier to launch and manage your NFT Collections.
