Prerequisites
- You have a title and image for an NFT collection you'd like to create.

- A wallet address to receive funds. No cryptocurrency is required!
Select your desired NFT collection type
Paper offers two types of NFT collections:
- Collection with the same asset: Each collector receives an NFT with the same metadata. Great for membership passes, event tickets, and proof of attendance.
- Collection with unique assets: Each collector receives a unique NFT with different metadata. Great for art and other one-of-a-kind digital collectibles.
Option 1. Create a "collection with the same asset"
- On Developer Dashboard: Contracts, select Create Contract and select Collection with the same asset.
- Provide the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name * | The name for each NFT. |
| Description | The description for each NFT |
| Image | The image for each NFT. |
| Blockchain * | Use Mumbai for testnet and Polygon for production. |
| Supply * | The total amount to be purchased or claimed. |
| Wallet address * | The wallet address to send sale earnings. We recommend testing that funds are sent to this address before your launch! |
