How it works

Personal Studio is your permanent collection, created once. Every 1-of-1 you make gets minted into it with its own price, and shows up in the global feed and on your profile.

Drop Studio is for launches. Each drop gets its own collection with a fixed supply, a price, a start time, optional stages and a waitlist. Drops appear on the Drops page with a countdown.

When you create a collection, your wallet signs the transaction and your account becomes the treasury. That means the collection is yours on-chain, and every NFT minted into it lands directly in your wallet. We never hold custody of your art.

We keep exactly one permission: the supply key, which is the authority to mint. It exists so we can mint a hundred NFTs without asking you to sign a hundred times. It cannot transfer, sell, burn, or otherwise touch anything you own.

If you set a maximum supply when you create the collection, we cannot mint past it — the network enforces that, not us.

1. Create the collection. Name, symbol, supply, and whether you want royalties. Your wallet pays the Hedera network fee. You only do this once per collection.
2. Make your art. Generate or upload images in the studio. Nothing is on-chain yet, and nothing costs anything yet.
3. Select and mint. Pick the images you want, and we pin them to IPFS and mint them. You are charged once for the batch.

Steps 2 and 3 repeat as often as you like. You never have to mint everything at once, and an interrupted batch resumes where it stopped — already-minted items are skipped.

A royalty pays you a percentage of every future resale, automatically and forever, enforced by the network rather than by any marketplace. The default is 5%.

Royalties must be decided when the collection is created and cannot be added or changed afterwards. Attaching one also doubles Hedera’s collection-creation fee — see Fees.

Artwork and metadata are pinned to IPFS, and the NFT records the IPFS address on-chain. Metadata follows HIP-412, the Hedera NFT standard, so wallets and marketplaces can read your traits correctly.

Hedera caps on-chain NFT metadata at 100 bytes, which is why an IPFS address is stored rather than the metadata itself. If IPFS is unavailable we stop before minting rather than write a broken link.

Each batch costs one wallet confirmation. Approve an HBAR allowance and there is no popup at all — we charge the allowance directly. An allowance only moves HBAR up to the limit you set, never your NFTs, and you can revoke it any time from your wallet.

Minting happens in groups of up to 10 per network transaction, which is Hedera’s limit.
