Inside the Creator Studio

BULLETAug 21, 20267 MIN READ

The Studio is where you make things on Bullet. A generative collection builder, a glitch art tool, and the launch wizard, all under one roof. Most of it is free. The parts that burn real compute run on credits, and half of every credit purchase buys BOSS off the market and burns it. This article explains the whole system, so the tool articles can stay about the tools.

The Studio home. Three tools and your credit balance, which follows your wallet everywhere.

The three tools

GENERATORUpload trait PNGs, tune rarity and rules, and generate up to 10,000 unique tokens. Building is free. Credits come in for AI trait generation and for taking your files out. Full walkthrough in the generator article.
GLITCH STUDIOLoad any image and wreck it on purpose. 73 effects, AI masks, audio-reactive motion, video export. Everything runs in your browser, so all of it is free. Full walkthrough in the Glitch article.
LAUNCHThe wizard that puts a collection on-chain. Launching on Bullet is free from the Studio, and a pinned generator set arrives with the metadata and supply pre-filled.

Deep dives: how to generate a PFP collection and the Glitch Studio explainer.

What credits are

Credits are prepaid compute. AI image generation and file exports cost us real money per use, so instead of a subscription you pay for exactly what you run. Every price in the Studio is quoted in credits, and your balance is tied to your wallet, so it's there in every tool without any extra setup.

Here is everything that costs credits, in one place:

AI SUGGESTIONS1 credit. The generator suggests trait ideas for a layer.
AI TRAIT15 credits per candidate. Generate a new trait in your collection's style. Failed candidates are refunded automatically.
AI RECOLOR8 credits per candidate. Recolor an existing trait. Cheaper because no new shapes are drawn.
AI EDIT15 credits. Edit one existing trait with an instruction.
STYLE BRIEF10 credits. One-time analysis of your art style that makes every AI generation after it better.
EXPORT FILES120 to 2,000 credits depending on supply. Download every image and metadata file as a zip to launch anywhere. Charged once per generation, re-downloads are free.
PIN TO IPFSSame price as an export, and refunded in full the moment a Bullet collection launches pointing at your pinned set. Launch here and pinning ends up free.

And everything that does not: uploading traits, rarity, rules, templates, drafting, generating the full collection, launching on Bullet, and the entire Glitch Studio. You can take a project from empty folder to live collection without spending a single credit.

NOTE
Failed AI jobs refund themselves. If a candidate errors out, the credits come back without you asking.

Getting credits

There are two ways: buy them, or hold TOXIN and get them for free every month.

Buy credits modal showing the three packs, the custom amount input, and an ETH quote
Buying credits. Pick a pack or type an exact amount, pay in ETH, done. This wallet holds BOSS, so the 25% discount is already applied.
  • Buy a pack with ETH. Starter is 50 credits, Studio is 200, Pro is 550 and carries a volume bonus. Or type a custom amount, anything from 10 to 20,000 credits, useful when an export needs an exact quantity. You get an ETH quote that locks for ten minutes, send the payment, and credits land as soon as the transaction is indexed. No subscription, nothing recurring.
  • Hold TOXIN. Every TOXIN NFT in your wallet grants 100 credits each month. Hold three, get 300. The grant is use it or lose it: it resets monthly and does not roll over. Granted credits are always spent before purchased ones, so your paid balance is the last thing touched.

BOSS holders pay less. Hold at least 10,000 BOSS and every credit purchase is 25% off, packs and custom amounts both. The discount is read live from the chain when you ask for a quote. Nothing to claim, nothing to register.

Where the money goes

This is the part worth understanding even if you never buy a credit. Half of every credit purchase goes to a burn reserve. A keeper takes that ETH, market-buys BOSS on-chain, and sends it to the dead address. Every burn is a public transaction, and the running tally sits on the Studio home: total BOSS destroyed and a link to each transaction on the explorer.

Rob Boss NFTs bought off the market by the burn keeper
What the burn looks like in practice: BOSS bought straight off the market, then sent to the dead address. Every transaction is public.

The other half funds the compute the credits paid for: GPU time for AI generation, IPFS pinning, storage. So the loop is simple. People use the tools, half of what they spend becomes buy pressure and permanent supply reduction on BOSS, and the tools pay for themselves. No emissions, no unlock schedule, just usage.

NOTE
Nothing here requires holding BOSS. The tools work the same for everyone. Holding it just makes credits cheaper and means you own a piece of what the usage burns.

Where to start

Open the Studio and connect your wallet. If you have art, start with the generator. If you want to play with something right now for free, open Glitch Studio and drop an image in.
