Getting started
Releasing an NFT in customised stages is a great way to control, not only when collectors can buy your NFTs, but which collectors can as well. If you have chosen to launch an Advanced Drop, you will be able to drop your collection in stages over a selection of different dates.
Use the “Schedule” tab on the left-hand side of the screen. This section sits between “Artwork” and “Allowlist”. If you do not see this section, you are most likely creating a Basic Drop.
Things to Keep in Mind
There will be a counter in your tab which specifies how many NFTs are yet to be allocated to a specific drop in the schedule: ‘x NFTs remaining’ – this number will update as you add/remove/modify any drops. You cannot go over this number when allocating drops, and you must have allocated all existing NFTs to drops before you can save your change (i.e. the number should go down to 0 NFTs remaining).
The drops must be in chronological order, and with minimum time requirements between them, which the UI will specify when you try adding a stage.
All artwork from a given stage in your drop schedule will automatically be moved to the next stage if it is not sold.
You can update everything about a future stage, or even remove it – but you cannot delete a stage once it has started.
Creating stages
Click on “Add Stage” which will prompt you to begin designing your stages. As you add information to your specific stage, a preview will be shown in “Stage Summary” on the right. Once you click “Add,” you will be brought back to the Launch Schedule, where your stages will appear in sequential order. Continue this process until satisfied.
Note: Clicking on ‘Remaining Supply’ means that all remaining NFTs will be on sale during your selected stage.
Allowlisting
You are able to add both Public Sale stages (where anyone can buy) or Allowlist Only stages (where only a specified list of users can mint during that particular stage). For more specific information on Allowlists, click here.
It is possible to have some stages with an Allowlist and some stages without. This is great for building up hype for your public mint or allowing current holders, friends and other communities to mint first. Simply toggle the Allowlist button from “No” to “Yes” at the bottom of the “Create a New Stage” popup.
Reveal Experience
You can have your artwork revealed instantly or later with our Reveal Experience. If revealed instantly, the artwork of your collection will be made immediately available to your collectors after you deploy your collection, including before any mints take place.
Some creators prefer to delay the reveal of their artwork to a few days after their collection first goes on sale and show a placeholder image in the meantime instead. Fair.xyz will handle this for you. Simply upload a placeholder image and tell your collectors when the reveal will take place!
If you ever change your mind after deployment and want to change your artwork’s reveal date or reveal it instantly – that’s absolutely fine; you’ll be able to do that too!
And that’s it!
