Editions
Editions are the simplest collection type — a single artwork that collectors can mint. The three edition types differ only in supply:
Open Edition
Section titled “Open Edition”- Supply: Unlimited
- Use case: Maximize distribution. Every collector who wants the piece can mint it.
- Supports all sale types (fixed price, Dutch auction, ranked auction)
Limited Edition
Section titled “Limited Edition”- Supply: Fixed cap set by the creator
- Use case: Scarcity-driven drops. Once the supply is minted, no more tokens can be created.
- Supports all sale types including ranked auction
One of One
Section titled “One of One”- Supply: Exactly 1
- Use case: Unique, singular pieces. Only one collector will own this token.
- Supports fixed price and Dutch auction sales (ranked auction is not supported for 1/1)
Edition metadata
Section titled “Edition metadata”All edition types share the same metadata structure:
- Name — The token name
- Description — Token description
- Image — Primary visual asset
- Animation URL — Optional animated asset (video, HTML) — field:
animationUrl - Attributes — Key-value trait pairs
Token standard
Section titled “Token standard”Editions support two token standards:
- ERC-721 — Each token is a unique NFT. Standard for most edition types.
- ERC-1155 — Semi-fungible tokens. More gas-efficient for large open editions where all tokens share the same metadata.
The token standard is selected during collection creation.
