# How to create editioned NFTs 🎴 *Author: William M. Peaster* *Published: Sep 13, 2022* *Source: https://www.bankless.com/how-to-create-editioned-nfts* --- Dear Bankless Nation, Let’s say you want to release a single artwork as editioned NFTs — a series commemorating Ethereum’s Merge, for example — but you’re not sure where to start. You should check out Zora! That’s because [Zora’s creator tooling](https://create.zora.co/) now makes it simple to create limited edition (e.g. 1/100 series, 1/1000 series, etc.) or open edition (temporarily or permanently uncapped) NFT drops. For today’s *Metaversal*, I’ll show you just how simple this NFT editioning process is by walking you through the 5 steps you’d take to run your own editioned drops through Zora. Let’s dive in! -WMP --- # **Creating limited or open edition NFTs** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/beff7ac9-a547-412f-a834-515e57707169_1006x501.png)**Image via Zora** #### **1) Prepare your NFT content** Zora’s Editions system supports uploading images, videos, and audio files. Once you’ve put the finishing touches on the file you want to upload, you’re ready to head over to [create.zora.co](https://create.zora.co/). For example, I’ve prepared an illustration of an “evolving Ethereum” via Stable Diffusion, a text-to-image AI model, and edited it to proceed: ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/a3c1dace-de41-4519-b0b2-5ad0149aac0c_512x512.jpg) #### **2) Connect to Zora** Once you’re at the [create.zora.co](https://create.zora.co/) hub, use the **Connect Wallet** button at the top right side of the page to sign in to Zora. Then press the **Create a collection** button and next choose the **Editions** option. #### **3) Input your collection details** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/b1316bfb-19d9-48f4-b316-166532222172_1006x679.png)**Image via Zora** On the ensuing page, you’ll be prompted to prepare all the fundamental details of your collection. As seen in the screenshot above, in this UI you will: - *Input your collection name + token ticker symbol* - *Provide a description of the series* - *Upload your media to IPFS* - *Set the NFT mint price* - *Determine the edition size, i.e. limited or open* - *Determine the mint’s start and end time* - *Configure your royalty percentage for secondary sales* - *Choose your payout address, i.e. where you want to withdraw earnings/royalties to* If you’re interested in doing a free open edition like my example collection “The Great Change” above, simply set your collection’s price to 0.00 ETH and your edition format to open. You can run the mint forever by selecting no end date, or you can schedule the mint to stop whenever you want using the UI’s provided calendar system. #### **4) Submit a creation transaction** Whenever you have all your collection details just right, click on the **Create **button at the bottom of that page’s UI. Your connected wallet will then prompt you to submit a transaction to create a smart contract for your series. Do that and then wait for the transaction to confirm. Remember, you can try and time this part of the process when Ethereum gas prices are relatively low to get the most bang for your gwei. #### **5) Manage your collection** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/9899aedd-06e4-4de0-aefb-8a412ed888da_1006x548.png)**Image via Zora** Once your contract creation transaction goes through, refresh the Zora page you were on and you’ll arrive at your collection management panel like in the picture above. Here you can do all kinds of things, starting with getting the link to your editioned collection’s [Purchase Page](https://create.zora.co/collections/0xb920094c9ff70f5145e07dafd5cef065d945d0d1), which is what you’ll look to share around with others. However, that’s just the start. This panel also lets creators airdrop NFTs to specific Ethereum addresses, customize allowlist and presale details, add team members or transfer collection ownership, update metadata, set up per-address mint limits, pause public sales, and more. You can also manage multiple collections simultaneously by clicking on your address at the upper right side of the panel and then pressing the **Your collections** button, which will take you to a list of all your previous and currently active editioned NFT series on Zora. --- ### **Action steps** - 🎴 Create a **[limited or open edition NFT series](https://create.zora.co/)** on Zora - ❓ Read my latest Bankless tactic **[How to win the Ethereum PoW fork](https://bankless.ghost.io/how-to-win-the-ethereum-pow-fork/)**
